Strangely, if you want Labour in power next time, you're sort of hoping he doesn't and he goes more extreme. If all you care about it power.

But realistically I think Labour have to accept they'll probably lose next time too, so all of us have to hope for Johnson to show restraint. I think his team will advocate just that.

That would be a very selfish way, or even a Tory way, of going about it lol
 
The country is centre-right. The working class don't see themselves as poor - they are aspirational. They don't want free broadband - they'd rather pay for decent broadband than be given a one size fits all crap one for free.
It’s like NHS prescription glasses. Absolutely nobody wanted them despite them being free.
 
Two serfs already walked into work celebrating like they’ve won a footy game.
Some old boy at work did the same 73 he would be , my reply was statistically your going to need social care far sooner than I will. Good luck with that.
30 mins later I'm still waiting for his reply. Conservatives do have a use they enable me not to communicate with cock wombles at work.
 
This right wing government will fail, they are useless at governing.
They will try to act lke Thatcher on steroids, the idiots who helped them to win will be the worst affected by these extreme tory policies and actions.

Let's just hope that eventually they will see the truth and rise up against the right wing elitists. They need to fill the streets and riot like the anti Macron anti pension reform protesters here in France, useless to just sit and grumble.

Johnson and co. will eventually crash and burn!
 
You still seem to have very little to say on Brexit policy, Tubey. Can you suggest who and what would've won this election in these circumstances?

I've said what I think on that here - https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/the-general-election.108019/page-470#post-7487727

This election wouldn't have happened under another leader, and they certainly wouldn't have gone into it with the profile and baggage of Corbyn and motley assortment of talentless misfits.
 
"Greetings. Bartholomew Smythe-Gherkin here, speaking to you live from Tory party central headquarters. I'd just like to congratulate my fellow Conservatives on the complete and utter destruction of working class solidarity over the last 9 years. Perhaps the most pleasing aspect of this is the considerable help we've received from the working classes themselves. So, to all you Sun reading, satellite owning, backstabbing, jumped-up little proles: Cheers. Here's to 5 more years *belch*"

Missus lives up there.

It’s no surprise to her. Typical northern working class town the tories targeted.

They convinced people Corbyn would’ve shut down the ship yards and they all fell for it.

Will be one of the first towns to get completely abandoned by the tories.
Indeed, Barrow in Furnace going to have the same equity as Runnymede. Trump has a nice rust belt to please...
 
The only, and really only, ok thing about this is Johnson could now ignore the hard right Tories.
We can but hope, but it's the hard right ERG lot who want a no deal crash out of the EU and freedom to continue making fortunes from the off shore banking and money laundering industry.
Johnson still needs their votes.
