Boris at it again and the contest to replace the lying c***

[YoungWolf]

I've been underwhelmed by Starmer, I thought he'd be a new broom and be the strong silent type of leader with huge gravitas making Boris look like the bumbling idiot he is. But he's been greyer than Major.

I'd like to see Nandy in post personally, I think she's excellent (if a little too far left for me).

Yeah, I don't particularly like Starmer (I can't see myself voting for him anyway) but I did think he might be smarter than Boris etc, he's just seemed to fumble around without actually standing for anything.

Yeah agree with you and YW on Starmer, obviously he's got more nous than Boris (who hasn't) and I fully understand he has to be careful due to covid, doesn't want to appear too negative while holding the Tories to account but I expected more

If you park any of the political stuff due to Covid or the fact he's been focussed grouped to hug the Union flag, the biggest issue for me and the reason i can't see him winning a GE is he appears a charismaless. He's not going to win over those who like the caricature Johnson has painted for himself

personally I prefer a politician who comes across as serious, the last few Prime ministers have proper pissed me off trying to be media darlings and men/women of the people......I don't care what football team you 'support' or whether you can dance, just do your fucking job and be yourself

I don't disagree with that, but if that was the view of the general population then we wouldn't have this clown. Being able to win comes way above any other metric for me

Sadly you're right

Yep. It's all about soundbites and populism now - as Boris, Trump and Farage have all proven.

It must be bloody hard being a satirist at the moment

Complete cunt achieved by Bren.

Where does he go from here?

 

[Tredman]

Dry humping the flag live on TV a la Trump?

 

[lemonjelly]

loving Gareth Bacon mind. Is that satire?

... but whilst you’re not allowed into the boozers you’ll be able to balance that by looking at all of the Union Flags that will have to fly from all government buildings.

UK Government buildings to fly union flag every day

The culture secretary described the flag as "a proud reminder of our history and the ties that bind us".

No money for pay rises for nurses or for the kids of the the lost city but plenty for flags and bombs.

We’re becoming 70s era Northern Ireland unionists.

So we are.

This statement seems a real contradiction.

Surely the “be yourself” bit and their personal interests are one and the same thing.

Not at all, quite the opposite, what I'm saying is don't try and sell yourself as 'of the people' by expressing an interest in something that you don't really care about, thats not relevant to your job anyway and I don't care if you like football, rugby or the opera.

Sorry, I thought you mean real interests rather than faux ones.
