An interesting opinion from Boris.

How is this not everywhere?

We all know this is how his sort think but to hear him spouting it in public is incredible.

Cornflakes

When was this filmed? Sounds like one of his many “let’s be contentious” after dinner speaking gigs rousing a bunch of black tie twats from their alcoholic stupor. Not sure that cereal story adds up. You keep shaking the pack and the ones at the top will fall downwards and vice versa.

[Long slender neck]

Is he suggesting that boardroom execs all have high IQs? I think we know on here first hand that it not true.

[Eat The Rich]

Its what we all know that they think. Some agree with it and vote Tory anyway, some are comfortable with it and vote Tory anyway, some just put their fingers in their ears and vote Tory anyway. Whichever way you cut it voting Tory is sociopathic.

However, ETR whatever way you cut it this is a centre right country, always has been as history shows us.

I was watching the first series of the crown yesterday and Clement Attlee had been kicked out of Downing Street and was heading up her majesty’s official opposition. So I looked up what he stood for when initially running for PM and we all know what he achieved whilst in power, certainly a legacy that will live on. History shows him in a good light and rightly so as he probably did more good than probably most to have held that position. If only a principled man like him were around now instead of the buffoons heading up all three political parties.

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

'Always has been'.

And why do you think that might be?

As we become more developed as a race, we should be moving away from that.

I don't accept that. Right wingers are wrong in the sense that they see people as being islands, totally independent products of their own mind and moral faculties. People are not islands. They are products of their environment and experience. The child brought up in a cult thinks everything they do is perfectly normal, until they are able to contrast it with something else but there's no guarantee that they will welcome this new worldview. They may find it frightening and alien even if what it offers would benefit them massively. If you've been brought up in a society such as ours then it can seem very natural and anyone threatening it seems like a risk, a threat, a danger, an outsider. The fact that the Tories have been the almost ever present governing force in this country is no surprise to anyone who understands that they, the Tories, represent continuity (fidelity to the status quo), stability (maintaining the status-quo) and law and order (defence of the status quo). We live in a society where our ideas are filtered through our society and a defence of the existing order seems natural and normal. That in no way implies that the system is natural or normal (in the sense of making any sense what so ever). Life experience has shaped me in a certain way. At first it creates discomfort, then cognative dissonance and I tried to wrestle with the mixed messages that the world was giving me. Eventually I had to choose between what I had experience, seen and felt in the real world and what I was being told. I was told that the country was fair and that we all get our just rewards. It isn't and we don't. I was told that the way we do things is rational. It isn't. I was told that things couldn't possible be any other way. That was a lie. I was told people are naturally selfish and horrible. That isn't true, we just tell ourselves it is because then we feel powerless to change anything and can give up without feeling guilty.

We all have to make a choice. Stick with what you've got because its comfortable, even if its rotten or stick our necks out and say 'Actually, you know what. Things aren't right and I think we can do better.'

Good post, you should take up politics as a living, you just might make a difference.

"certainly a legacy that will live on"

Not if the Tory party have anything to do with it. They have had the period ruled out of the History syllabus in our Schools, the nearest you can get to it is 1949. Nobody should learn about the success of a Labour government.

Really? How do you know this?

Kids should be taught about the NHS and the Welfare States history etc. Its the two greatest gifts that this country gave to its people.

Yet you want to vote Tory who destroy both.

Bizarre.

[Thor]

No dis, I’ve said on here a few times now, I won’t be voting for the first time in my life. Yes I’ve always voted Tory, but I don’t think I can vote for Boris now as his deal for Brexit is sh*t and I’m a brexitear so a vote for him is a vote for his deal and I don’t think it’s a good deal.

Labours manifesto has some bloody good points in it, but I could not vote for Corbyn as I do believe he will bankrupt this country, he will keep us in some sort of sh*t connection to the eu, having little benefit but lots of bills to pay, in that case I’d rather stay in the eu than leave.

Lib Dem’s are just quak pots.

If you are under 25 and vote labour you have a heart. If you are over 35 and vote labour you have no brain.

If you are under 25 and vote labour you have a heart. If you are over 35 and vote labour you have no brain.

If you vote Tory, you don't have a heart or a brain

Thor I was in teaching for 33 years, as well as being a branch secretary for much of that time. See if you can find anything about the Thatcher years in the Politics syllabus as well, that was taken out years ago.

As I said to some Tory canvassers the other day " I was a teacher for 33 years why the hell would I vote Tory?" They had no answer to that.

Mikero

[Thor]

Saw this and laughed.

It’s that magical time of the year when young immature minds believe that a grey haired bearded man will bring them lots of free gifts. Meanwhile everyone else will be voting Conservative.

Got to admit, it did make me chuckle.
