Oh come on, surely you've had a mutant algorithm mess up your plans from time to time?

An important question XM, is, how can Tory politicians be at fault with anything, when they obviously don't make any decisions.

An interesting point glos, which leads to the question: what do they do?

Well, they're very good at some things: cronyism, hiding, sacking, ignoring, denying, blaming. I'm not liking the way things are heading in their war against the BBC because their rhetoric seems to be influencing swathes of the public. They're aiming for total control....

I think what Okocha says about the BBC is right, i've noticed that the BBC is now being classed as a left wing organisation on social media and not to be trusted.
This is from the kind of people who think that the likes of Tommy Robinson and that hag Katie Hopkins are hero's so i take it with a massive pinch of salt.

Germany drops Brexit talks from EU envoys meeting next week due to lack of progress in a "wasted summer" as we roll on inexorably towards a no deal fiasco. Metro goes with "Boris doesn't understand how negotiations work" - harsh but probably true of the half of the UK population.
Meanwhile net migration to the UK hits the highest peak since the referendum which can't go down well with Boris's core support.

Thank you Mr. Pig. I think its a silly name to use, and am surprised at how supposedly intelligent people actually get involved in deep and meaningful discussions about it.Norpig wrote:

It just goes to show, that after 3 years of intense insults, etc, this is all the Left could come up with. No wonder they lost the argument.

Poor Mrs Pig, and the piglets. They've got a self-confessed loony snowflake for a husband/dad. However, they can see your sensible and charismatic side knowing you post on this forum

I thought that was both true and some of it reasonably factual, eg
Spitting out talking points found in fascist organs like the Daily Mail (or, for those preferring something less intellectual, the Daily Express), gammon exist in a state of perpetual outrage and exasperated "I'm just an [url=https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ordinary bloke]ordinary bloke[/url], me" confusion.
I thought this bit applied more to the Remainers than the Leavers. (It's nothing personal XM)
