Uk politics...

If any party suggested parliamentary reform they'd have my vote immediately...

If we are entering this brave new world on our own... we 100% should be moving forwards in a modern way.

If the Lib-Dems wanted to resurrect their party this is their new mandate and election pledge.

They fucked it up last time when that wanker Clegg accepted what he himself called "a miserable little compromise" referendum as the price of power in 2011, now the 2 main powers can say that we were offered the chance of change and rejected it - and the door to PR is slammed, probably forever.

Why can't a new party offer this as their main election pledge... "The parliamentary reform party".

 

[Rev John Ripsher]

When I see MPs howling and catcalling in the commons and acting like a bunch of public school wankers, I get umpty as fuck

Quite right too, the most publicly shown portion of the business of Parliament is always PMQ's, which is when this farcical jeering is somehow allowed, apart from this one hour once a week part, this is the only time that this kind of behaviour is tolerated. The rest of the weeks parliamentary business is almost always conducted in near silence and with respect. Prime Ministers Questions is frequently the only time that people notice the House of Commons and rightly think that it is like this all the time, which it is not the case.

The answer is like football,we need a middle eastern benefactor friendly dictatorship to rule us,or we could just stick with the german family we had for 400 years.

With more and more nations being split 50/50 democracy as it is has failed,its now just divisive,about winning politically than serving the people,isnt that the point?serve the people?as it is they are merely serving themselves,thats UK,Europe,america.When 48% lose and 52% win on such hugely divisive issues,really who has won?no one because the constant flip flop of say Con or Lab or GOP or DNC just throws away 4 or 5 years of work before,over what?point scoring and keeping themselves in power rather than a nations good.Worst thing is,how will it ever change without some cataclysmic event to unite people.And thats either war,aliens,a messiah,or armaggedon scenario.

Basically we are all fucked,but at least we dont have arsenal for the next decade to support,so rejoice in the little things eh!

Where else in the world would you get the scenario we have here in norn iron? Our politicians are still being paid yet haven't been back to work at Stormont in yonks. Its a fucking scandal of the highest order and the worrying thing is the apparent apathy of the masses about the situation. maybe its just the way the world is now, I don't know. These are the things that dominate our place atm;

Up in arms about an Irish language act? Fuck me, if you want to speak Irish, just fucking speak it, its not that important imo.
RHI scandal? A joke, of course the perpetrators should be called to answer for it. But hey ho, its slipped under the radar.


The NHS, education system, public services are in a mess here and these cunts cant see fit to go back to work to try to help with these issues. They'd rather bang on about language and cash for ash. Its incredibly frustrating.
I really do not like posting about politics, especially norn iron politics and I just want to clarify my views as I don't want fellow norn iron folk on here to get the wrong idea..........I have no love at all for either side in this. I yearn for a radical middle ground approach, is there such a thing??

Couldn't agree more. Apathy is the biggest problem

Yeah, but who gives a fuck about apathy?

Quite right. I don't give a fuck

Just watched may on the Andrew Marr Show. She really should wear a dress instead of trousers, she looks as ridiculous as she sounds ffs. Physically, she's a freak

What Andrew Marr? I didn't know he was a tranny, you learn something every day.

Oh sorry, I didn't notice the may bit, yeah total freak. I can't watch her on the telly I just go all mental and start shouting at her to fucking say something that actually has meaning instead of "let me be clear..." then saying absolutely fuck all. I remember Jim fucking Callaghan, Edward fucking Heath, The Iron Lady Thatcher, Tony fucking B.Liar all total cunts, but this woman has to be the worst PM ever. But, are the alternatives worse? Johnson, Corbynn*, Rees fucking Mogg - noooooooooooo! Doomed we is, doomed.

*Surprise! Yeah I think he would be a total disaster even though I am a Lefty.

Oh well, who cares? Lets' start an Apathy Party and not bother voting for it - or better still don't bother starting the party, cut out the middleman and go straight to the who give a fuck stage.

 

[conor1]

Im liking the not giving a fuck approach and lets do fuck all thingy. I reckon at the next election we should all just do nowt, instead of going out to vote, just sit at home and do fuck all. Would love to sit and watch David Dimbleby try to get thru 10hrs analysing those results.

It would like the UK in the Eurovision, we could get Graham Norton to do the swingometer stuff and prance around the map like a cunt. I like it! Some cunts would spoil it though and actually vote, so we might get a Monster Raving Looney Party government, so no change really.

Spooky! Monty Python predicted Brexit, just like The Simpsons did with Trump! Witchcraft, burn them!

• Jethro Walrus Titty - Jacob Rees Mogg?
• Tarquin Fin-tim-lin-bin-whin-bim-lim-bus-stop-F'tang-F'tang-Olé-Biscuitbarrel - Boris Johnson?

Here's their 1997 manifesto
https://www.loonyparty.com/history-4/loony-archive/1997-general-election-manifesto/

There are some incredibley non-looney ideas in there!

• The home telephone numbers of all elected officials in national and local government will be made available to their electors so that you can have a chat with them whenever you want to.
• Roads will be dug up a maximum of once every ten years. Before they’re dug up, all the utilities will be Informed and they can replace all their cables, pipes and sewers at the same time.
• We will remind people of how good things used to be. Since no one can now remember a time when things were good, we all need help to dream of a wonderful by-gone age when everyone was paid in golden sovereigns, no-one was ill or died, the weather was perfect, and you could get 200 pints of bitter for a quid.
• Contrary to popular opinion, it is not the policy of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party to spend vast amounts of British money on nuclear weapons so that we can kill everybody 200 times. That’s the policy of the unofficial loonies in the Tory Party, ‘New’ Labour and Liberal Democrats. We think blowing up the world once is enough.

Brilliant!

They Python's strike again! In the olden days when a house cost 10 old pence and you could go and see your doctor without booking 5 years in advance, the BBC gave us absolutely spiffing comedy.

Afternoon tea at the Rees-Mogg Mansion - or maybe it's Boris?:

Brilliant although I still prefer the 4 Yorkshiremen as a personal favourite.

Hard to pick a favourite, The Pirhana Brothers, Kamikaze Highlanders, The Argument Clinic, Dead Parrot, Architect Sketch, The Cheese Shop, Four Yorkshiremen, Dennis Moore and .... as nobody expected, The Spanish Inquisition. They were a bit good weren't they? But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe you.

Might be me.....but the majority of comedy today seems to revolve around stand up and Arsenal. There is little in the way of brilliant comedy writing and sketches in a Python or Two Ronnies style, unless you like something called Mrs Browns boys and I don't. Havin and Stacey was supposed to be very good, I didn't see much of it but where are today's comedy writers.....?

That Mrs Brown's Boys doesn't do anything for me, I don't get what's funny about it, I know loads of geezers really rate it, not me. I like my Irish comedy in the Father Ted style. I don't think I've seen a funny British sitcom since the Vicar of Dibley. Some of us were saying how totally shite the Open All Hours spin-off was, dire, and the Green Green Grass - how the fuck they could think they could follow Only Fools and Horses fuck only knows, truly awful. We make a point of not bothering to watch any BBC comedies these days because they ain't going to be funny.

There used to be triffic British sitcom stuff, Yes Minister, Allo Allo, Black Books, The Young Ones, Porridge, Open All Hours, Only Fools and Horses, Fawlty Towers, Blackadder, Steptoe and Son, On The Buses, Vicar of Dibley, Till Death Us Do Part (couldn't do that these days!),the Brittas Empire., As Time Goes By, One Foot in the Grave. Men Beahving Badly. Remember Love Thy Neighbour? Not one of my favourites but they's get arrested if they tried to show that today!

One of my favourite bits of any comedy show ever was from Dad's Army when the German officer asks Pike what his name is "Don't tell him Pike" says Mr Mannering, classic.

One of the joys of getting old is that you can bang on and on about how we did everything so much better in the olden days and modern stuff is bollocks!

 

[Don Diaz]

I'm enjoying being opinionated this afternoon, while waiting for Man City to hurry up and win...just hurry up please, oh wait I've got the Arsenal giggles again. I'm going to make a cup of tea, Graeme Souness has come on and he's. It funny either....nor is Jamie Redknapp.

 

[Don Diaz]

That's better....Chelsea, Mind the Gap.

 

[conor1]

Oh lads, Mrs Browns Boys is terrible. A poor mans Father Ted.

 

[Dorset]

I'd like to think the reason why we have sent home diplomats, froze their assets and started the process of surrounding ourselves with allies tk start further trade embargoes against them is because of precisely that.

I'd wager that we do have enough proof, and we do know that they have done it and this is our preliminary diplomatic reaction.

Yeah the defence secretary... what the actual fuck was that. This man has a huge say in us going to war, with anyone. Sounds just like someone you'd follow into battle doesn't it, very embarrassing.

I've shifted my response to the UK Politics thread, poor old Harry Kane must be feeling shitty enough without us talking about the wankers who are going to take back control in his thread.

I think freezing the assets of criminals and actually using the existing laws where people have to explain huge amounts of wealth is good regardless of them being mates of Putin. I got no problem with that, but being a fan of logic, evidence and facts, I am not happy with statements like 'overwhelmingly likely' and 'probable', especially when these statements are coming from a proven liar like Boris Johnson. So far it seems that there is no actual evidence, just speculation and it is 'overwhelmingly likely' that Mrs May is acting before all the facts are known to deflect attention for her mishandling of - everything.

Gavin Williamson? What a fucking dick. I like this bit from the Spectator, sums him up nicely

"Williamson, who one female Tory MP once described as a “self-serving cunt”, behaves like a single man following pick-up guide The Game: every move is a comically undisguised attempt to advance his personal ambitions (he is reportedly fond of personally citing House of Cards to MPs)."​

​

I am not a fan of Corbyn, but I agree with him when he says:

“To rush way ahead of the evidence being gathered by the police, in a fevered parliamentary atmosphere, serves neither justice nor our national security.”​

“We agree with the government’s action in relation to Russian diplomats, but measures to tackle the oligarchs and their loot would have a far greater impact on Russia’s elite than limited tit-for-tat expulsions,”​

It is a fucking joke that we hold ourselves up to be the good guys and turn a blind eye to huge amounts of criminal funds to come into the UK and the shabby British tax havens from corrupt places like Russia and the UAE- yeah Chelsea and Manchester City I'm looking at you.

I see it slightly differently mate... she isn't being explicit because she can't be seen to accuse (I don't know why) politically. You and I would call a cunt a cunt... she can't until she unequivocally can prove a cunt to be a cunt, even when we and the rest of the civilised world know the cunt is a cunt and he regularly behaves like an otter cunt whenever he speaks.

I think they know exactly what they are dealing with and is why they had what is left of the UK armed forces crawling over a park bench in Salisbury.

This is an act of war simply by definition. Its a fucking huge deal they are playing down.

Going to war isn't a fucking great idea for any politician in this country especially one who is broke and intent on saving money not spending it on building up the armed forces again...

Saying that a decent world war would mean the Brexit mob could get their return to the dark ages... well fucking stone ages sooner rather than later...

Way I see this is we are using diplomacy and basically will cosy up as close as we can to our old friend Merica to ensure that if we do overstep the mark we can borrow a couple of dozen Nukes in an attempt to ruin their country as much as they will annihilate ours.

It's probably not unusual for spy's to off one another all about the globe but using a banned chemical weapon... a fucking WMD...!!! Theyre taking the fucking piss in a big way.

I can't help but think with all the stuff around Russia over the last year or 2 building up, American election, Brexit, bank hacks, NHS virus, Syria, and offing many many more "traitors" to the state that they are gearing up for somthing. They're dangerous as fuck
