Current Affairs The next Tory (strong and stable) leader is Boris Johnson

Wonder if he used the word piccaninnies today?

You need to start caring if you ever want to see Labour win an election again.

How many defeats is it going to take before you start to question why people won't vote for Labour. Is it the message that you're delivering to the voters that's the problem or is it how you and some of you deliver it?

Why would they ever vote Labour when people like you keep saying that they're effectively Nazi enablers! I can't think of a quicker way of ensuring that they stay Tory voters then to keep attacking them like you are. You're your own worst enemy here.

It's over for Labour. It's dead in Scotland. And right now, it's lost a huge working class base.

But you're totally right. People who are still voting Labour should care.

I'm a former Labour voter. And I'm concerned that over the next few years we will see a bigger Tory margin.

Labour needs to get back to the centre. But it's filled with people who cannot think objectively, and can't seem to debate anymore. They'd rather just attack. And it just doesn't work anymore, that tactic has pushed people away. It's sad.

Governments with weak opposition and unnopposed can slip through bad laws (like the poll tax). You might find that hilarious. But it's bad for democracy.

Governments do what their paymasters tell them to do, regardless of who voted for them or whoever opposed their policies......that is not democracy is it?

You have a point, I'm not dismissing it as being a puppet show. I thought the left's turn to radical daftness was one big psyop for example. But, who was paying Jeremy Corbyn?

You get what you vote, own it!

Don't read the Sun. Didn't vote Tory either.

Looks like Johnson has ruined the special relationship within a month of office, I thought thats what the media were worried Corbyn was going to do?

At least we havent got to negotiate a trade deal with them this year...

I'm surprised to some extent by this decision.

But by all accounts the Chinese product is way ahead of where the US are at the moment in terms of technology and quality. If our IT experts are confident that they can secure it, then it is the right decision to make.

I'm also glad he made it because I don't want us to become totally subservient to the US. Had he gone with an American company, despite the product being inferior, then I would have feared the worst. American companies like Apple will still benefit in the long term anyway.

I blame Gordon Brown and his wilful destruction of the UK’s telecommunications industry.....

Remind me what he did.

 

[peteblue]

Remind me what he did.

He introduced an auction for licenses for 3G, licenses previously given to operators for free. BT, and other operators had to pay this tax (£22Bn) and therefore had to recover the monies. This they did by cutting back on infrastructure expenditure which meant that the UK’s Telecomms Manufacturer and supplier of the networks, Marconi (previously GEC Plessey Telecomms) had its income disappear. At a single stroke, the demise of U.K. design and manufacture of hi tech Telecomms equipment took place and Marconi simply disappeared........
