never been so depressed about the future of the country as they are now. :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:
Don't get me wrong, I don't think Boris is the answer to all our problems, but the fact that he's píssing these people off this much is really giving me my money's worth. :clap:
Quite like this cartoon

They kind of have a point. The total mess of Brexit, two raving ****ing idiots in charge of the two main parties with an election fairly likely.Quote:

No idea if this will happen but I rather suspect that the EU will buckle, Boris has said we're out on 31st October and he has to stick by it. It's not in EU's interest for No deal either.Quote:

Why would an election make it any more likely? Tories won't run on no deal, Labour will sit on the fence and Brexit party and Lib Dems won't attract enough votes to do anything other than split the vote.Quote:

Nope - a new referendum with no deal and Remain the only options. Only way out of it, I'm afraid.
To everyone who says this I simply point out that we had a supposedly 'safe pair of hands' choice of PM for the last three years and she was an unmitigated disaster, destroying her own majority through sheer stupidity, betraying her membership, destroying faith in politicians, making her government legislatively impotent, allowing Farage back into politics and leading her party for the first time in its history to fourth place in a national election.Quote:

I made a post on my Insta saying "congrats King Boris. Socialist Cucks on suicide watch right now!" and my follower count went down by 5 ha ha. More than happy to trigger the cucks into unfollowing me. I don't want them anyway.Quote:

To be fair, most of those disasters spring directly from the election result. That turned out to be a mistake but she certainly wasn't alone in thinking that the labour vote would crumble. It's a mistake many would have made, although her own campaign was a total disaster as well.Quote:

New PM, new negotiations....Quote:

Went down from 7 to 2 then ;-)Quote:

If we leave or look genuinely likely to leave on no deal, then the genuinely remain Tories will rebel, so will the DUP and that will probably lead to no confidence vote and ultimately, an election.
5 to 0 actually.Quote:
