O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

[upthemaggies]

Surely you must have faith or hope in some party,even if its blind faith..?

If the Tories are taking us to hell, which they are, Labour would get us there about 20 minutes earlier.
If I was in their position I'd probably do the same, accept the bribes and try and have as good a time as possible whilst the whole lot crashes and burns. The public get what they deserve, I've no sympathy with them either.

COYP.

And here we see the result of the relentless crap spouted for years by the mail , express and other right wing publications... Labour would have been worse, all politicians are the same, blah blah blah. God help us.

No. I hate the Tories and Labour. They can all go to hell.

Genuine question - this is not a set up to criticise your view, or an attempt to twist it to suggest that you actually should be supporting the Tories or Labour or any other party for that matter.

What would be your definition of the ideal Government, with the caveat that no Government can ever be perfect? What would UTM look to achieve if you were PM? I don't mean a policy by policy breakdown obviously, but in terms of general ideology?

One you don't really notice, like a good ref.

To be brutally honest, the chief reason why I've turned away from the left is because of the type of people who now support it, or perhaps more accurately the type of people they have become.

Did Thatcher steal your free milk at school and do you blame Corbyn for brexit exit because he remained silent throughout the campaign letting Farage and BJ'S lies go unopposed?.

Good answer!

I once got kept behind in detention aged 6 for not finishing my milk and had to drink it warm. My mum eventually turned up worried sick wondering where the hell I was,. Good job it wasn't my dad or the teacher would have needed a lifetime's worth of counselling to get over the verbal assault.
I was glad when they stopped forcing us to drink it. Nice on cereal but hated drinking it. A definite plus point for Thatcher on that one.

I voted for Corbyn.

It's interesting how you say your dad would have acted.

He had little patience with idiots and if push came to shove, he'd let them know it. I suppose I do take after him in that regard.

... at school, all the players in the football team used to drink 2 x 1/3pt bottles. This helped reduce the wastage caused by those (wimps) who didn't drink milk.

If only Ian Rush had come along a decade earlier to tell us all to drink our milk.

Exactly!

And of course, verbal assaults on teachers are acceptable?

No wonder teachers are often difficult to find.

What sort of a question is that? you absolute pr@tt. You weren't there, you have no idea what form this teacher had or what ultimately happened to them. So i suggest you F*** off and do not reply to me again.
Idiot.

I'm the idiot? You are the one who legitimizes verbal assault on a teacher.

And follow it up by a verbal assault on me!
