Good article. They're right about constant culture wars. The general public lap them up.

I suspect the finances will be Johsnon's ultimate undoing.

There are already murmurings within the middle England Tory ranks that spending vast sums of cash is not thier way of doing things.

Middle England will be the ones who pick up the bill for this pandemic and Johnson's profligate spending and they will not like it one bit.

In 50 years time if temepratures continue to increase year on year as they do now, 1/3 of the World's population will be living in areas as hot as the Sahara currently is.

But roughly one-third of the world's population ALREADY live in either a tropical or sub-tropical climate - the figure is somewhat closer to 40%, IIRC.... this doesn't mean that they're actually going to move to the Sahara, or that wherever they are now is going to turn into a desert just because there's more people there....if anything, the opposite will happen.

Nice. :(

So the only type of patriotism allowed now is the Tory Nationalist way?

An increase on National Insurance is supposed to be announced this week.

Another broken promise.

So the interest on the UK government debt was £8.7 billion in June alone.

That equates to more than £100 billion per annum.

And to think these scum said the economy wasn't safe in Labour hands.

Meanwhile, & to distract "the plebs" from pondering what a monumental duck-up the Boris buffoons are making, he's announced ",, we're going to choke the life out of County Lines",, A statement that I dare say will find unanimous approval from all right thinking people, no matter how much disdain they have for the current clowns.
Thing is, imho, it's just another worthless soundbite. The County Lines franchise is so entrenched in our society, and so well protected by the failings in our systems, that having any substantial impact is virtually impossible as things stand.
And if by "we" he's referring to himself & the police..:, Whilst his local dealers may well be hit hard in the wallet should he pause on the Johnson consumption of nose candy, if there was a viable available approach for our Police to take I'm fairly confident they would already be taking it ( & not waiting for some announcement from him before considering the issue )..?

I stand by my statement that this is the worst Government in my lifetime....and that is saying something.

The potential financial catastrophe on top of the complete lack of investment in the future of this Country will be something those who voted for this excuse for leadership will live to regret.

You know that aircraft carrier we spent billions on? Well apparently its in the south China Sea with only one destroyer to protect it as the other 5 are out if action due to the fact the engines pack up in warmer waters. The Navy expect the last destroyer to also give up the ghost too so have asked the US Navy to be prepared to offer it protection..

Add to that the engines have already been replaced once at great expense. Also I think the carriers have similar engines too :x

Think it might be time for a national strike, it's the only thing that's going to shift them, their pockets. The French wouldn't put up with this bullshit why should we?
