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

Can we just at least agree that Abbott is an imbecile.......

 

[JimmyJeffers]

I think Abbott is a target to some people due to her ethnicity.

Sad state of affairs with society.

Yes I agree. Grayling gets away with it cos he's rich and white. Shameful indictment of the times we’re living in.

 

[JimmyJeffers]

In wages and expenses over £80k a year. Enough to pay for another 400,000 policemen....and women.....

I see what you did there

Boris has nailed this..... “kick the can again and we kick the bucket”........

Labour won......

 

[Mr. White]

lollolErm..... you seen the state of the lad you’re voting in mate

There is a natural stammer which cannot be controlled. It's endearing, charming even, and one should be sympathetic to it.

There is also a stammer when one is caught off guard / not being prepared.

Serious question...if you were hiring a person to work in your accounts department, would you give Abbott a job?

Her 'police numbers' interview was originally a radio interview. You couldn't see her, you could only listen.

Listen to it without knowing her ethnicity or politics. She doesn't come across well. Pure incompetence.

Mr Shabite more like.

 

[neil999]

Labour won......

Hooray! Hang on...

It was, but it never cost us a penny.

A bumbling interview versus Grayling who has cost us millions of pounds.

 

[Walken]

just so we are clear:

white male stutters = charming and endearing, a sign of honesty
black female stutters = a sign of incompetence and dishonesty

I think espousing the above is either a very weak wind up or a sign of something more sinister

I give you Chris Grayling

That proves that there are incompetents in both the Conservative and Labour parties. Both Abbott and Grayling are bywords for blunderers.

I can't speak for Abbott because she hasn't got a documented history in government leading whole departments, but to call Grayling a 'blunderer' seems rather kind, almost a paternal description of his foray into politics.

But we do understand. Trump wants to deal with the individual countries and not an EU bloc, and Russia would like to see the U.K. distance itself from the EU and weaken it. The eyes of both are on weakening the EU. In the same way that the EU wants the U.K. to fail due to leaving, the USA wants the U.K. to succeed. Russia would no doubt want the U.K. and the EU to weaken....

This may be drifting a bit off thread, however, I'll continue.
1. Yes Trump wants to deal with individual countries so that the ultra powerful US economy can pick them off, one by one. A block of 27 is more difficult for them.
2. Agreed that Russia wants to weaken the EU and also cause difficulties for NATO, whom he feels seriously threatened by.
3. Why should the EU want the UK to fail after leaving ?, surely they want to continue trading,even though they would be dearer following the crash of the £.
4. Which is precisely the reason that the Trump corporation wants the UK out.
UK crashes out no-deal. £ crashes to perhaps equity with the $. US big corp moves in, buys up what is left of UK business and institutions at bargain price. Asset strips an leaves UK as a vassal state, a colony with similar status to Costa Rica.
How would you like that? Before you scoff, remember how big corp US aided the smash and grab of former USSR assets in the post Gorbachoff (Yeltsin) era. The origin of the pro western Russian billionaire oligarchs. This may be developing into a blog but I can't understand why so many Brits are so blinded by the bright lights of the USA that they cant see the crass objectives of that administration.
