    Having spent a lot of time in countries where citizens don't get to pick their government, I really really hate the whole "why bother" thing. Regardless of the party you decide on, I really think everyone SHOULD use their vote. None of them appeal to you? Then go with the one that you feel is the lesser evil.
  2. Living abroad I can largely escape it. There was a lot of hoohah on facebook between people on both sides of the fence and I've just ignored them.
  3. That always struck me as very sketchy. Who goes snooping around a crime scene, and why? Then they very very conveniently end up with the inheritance. I've read there was a lot of tension and drama in that family. Both him and his sister were adopted and spent large amounts of time away from home and had never really connected with the parents.
  4. It really is amazing(in the worst way). He's running a supposedly democratic country and the minute he faces any type of criticism or is held to any type of accountability whatsoever he runs away like a scared little boy.
  5. Boris scarpering from the scene again I see... https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/polit...r-a9235821.html
  6. I'm also unconvinced of his guilt. He doesn't strike me as a particularly likeable person but that isn't a crime. Also, the way the extended family shuffled into the house not long after the deaths makes me rather uneasy.
  7. The thing is they probably don 't even realize the are racists either.
  8. I am genuinely really upset by this. I worked directly with disabled people for four years. It's absolutely disgusting. This is a representative(with these views...THESE views in 2019 for christ sake) of the party that, come next week will probably get back in for another 5 years and yet people stick their heads in the sand and use the "oh well nevermind they're all as bad as each other argument".
  9. Thank you for demonstrating the point made in my previous post.
  10. No, really? I hadn't realized that. Thank you for informing me enlightened one. :rollseyes: To clarify...by avoiding social media, I will be avoiding the vicious back and forth that will inevitably take place between family and friends. Funnily enough I had suspected that it might not magically change the course of reality. Thank you for confirming that it won't . Honestly, I know the whole overbearing, patronizing, eye rolling "You do realise...." act followed by magically vanishing when challenged is your y'know....."thing"... but you don't half over do it sometimes.
  11. For once we agree on something. But what people should be asking themselves is WHY...WHAT is he hiding. Of course people won't ask that, and will put their future in this hands because he's "funny" *sighs*
  12. On the basis of knowing how it's going to go, I won't be watching it no and will be avoiding social media the following day.
  13. This is so dangerous. It really is alarming that certain plebs and numpties can't see that. If he's allowed to duck and dive certain interviews because he's worried about what he'll be asked that in itself should tell you something. He knows he's a lying bast*rd and a sack of s*** and doesn't want people to see.
  14. He's a troll. No one is this sense.
  15. Elaborate?

    I anticipate a Tory majority and refuse to let myself get too excited about the prospect of something else however much I may want Boris out of no.10

    Those are the types of numbers I am expecting in the end.
  18. Chris doesn't care how true it is. In his head Tories = good, Labour = bad and no amount of shitty evil things the Tories do will change that. The tories could force him into work tomorrow and he'd find a way to blame Labour. I wouldn't waste anymore energy.
  19. DOUBLE

    What are your thoughts on that document?
  21. "Labour again saying today that the Tories will sell off the NHS. That seems to be their main focus of attack now. Boris needs to keep hammering away saying they won't."
  22. You said you read the story?
  23. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:
  24. And the BBC aren't even reporting it. Incredible, but yet apparently there's no bias. :rolleyes:
  25. You won't get a response to this.
