MadManMike Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Politics is f**ked. You can't make this stuff up. The Daily Mash is becoming more accurate than most genuine newspapers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Harrison Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 6 hours ago, Greetings said: Talking about embarrassment and all the other points, I live in Poland. Seen things sink to new lows every day for a few years and found that the best way to deal with this is to switch the telly off and not read any news. Life is so much better now when one doesn't have to deal with rampant populism on a daily basis. Putting your head in the sand is a last resort and hopefully you guys will never have to experience such a state of frustration. Fingers crossed for Britain. I found the best way to deal with it was to vote myself out of Britain! I now live in Berlin (so actually I'm closer to Poland now : ) but the general state of western politics is disappointing. I'm glad that the French presidential election went the way it did - at least there is some sanity left in the world. But listening to the whole Comey/Trump thing, that's another colossal 50 gallon drum of worms... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted June 9, 2017 Report Share Posted June 9, 2017 Classic, despite my optimism, we somehow have ended up with the old cow bag doing a marvel team up with a bunch of "pro life" anti gay marriage, climate change denying creationist nut jobs. On the other hand we got rid of Salmond who sold one of the most environmentally protected areas of Scotland to trump for a golf course, and Clegg who sold out the lib dem supporters so badly that he turned a three party system into a two party one and got us into this mess in the first place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jolfa Posted June 11, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 They'll never make this DUP thing stick, the DUP have already dismissed May saying there was a deal which she since backtracked on (true to form). I'm sticking with my original forecast - May will resign (either through general pressure or vote of no confidence), Boris takes the wheel, re-election. The way things are going it could happen a lot sooner than I thought. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted June 11, 2017 Report Share Posted June 11, 2017 Clicked on it in the slim chance of something interesting, perhaps a new piece of information that'd come to light or a well-written thought on things as they progressed. No such luck, clearly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underneath the buffoonery, I think he is a smart guy. It is exactly the wrong time to seize leadership - no one wants another unelected pm, and the conservatives don't want another election. If he took control now it could be a very short term in charge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not quite like anything I've come across as yet. Is it something academic-ish akin to Matlab or something? Looks like some hellish crossbreed of Python and SQL 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
