So This Is What Leadership Looks Like Kier!

[Lindenbaggie]

I’ve just watched Question Time (I know, I must be short of something to do) and Labour’s Wes Streeting was on; words fail me. No way could I vote for a party with such a legion of idiots. I’m hoping that there will be a Lord Buckethead standing here in Kettering!

Under Blair, we heard "Education, education and education". Now its political envy against those who'll make giant sacrifices to ensure a better education for their kids. Is aspiration now a dirty word in Labour Party circles?

I've noticed that David Lammy is very quiet. I'd like to hear his views on Gaza, Israel, Ukraine and Russia. Probably being kept away from the media on purpose.

So today on Starmer watch….

When asked whether Dianne Abbott will be allowed to stand out great and soon to be leader replied….

“We are going through a process blah, blah blah” and then in a moment of unbelievable irony he then says….

“You must remember…..she’s been a trailblazer for our party!”

Yes Kier…..everyone knows this which is why you’re being asked whether you’re kicking her out and why!!? 🤡🤡🤣🤣

F u c k sake, this bloke is a weak nonentity of a man, a human omeaba!

The more I see of Starmer the more I dislike him! Many say it can’t get any worse - I personally think it will! I can see this fence sitting w anker blaming everything on the outgoing government!

No real answer to anything!! Meanwhile that
Stupid t wat Davey who would be in their right mind to vote for him?

Is the raving looney party still around as they might get my vote?

The Raving Looney is leading the Dim Lemmings, f u c k me, on a water slide today!😩🤡

I mean, that’s what the public want isn’t it, a fat bloke of 60 going down a water slide.

Sunak - Trying to bribe pensioners with their own money, you pay tax all your adult life only to get the money that’s due to you taxed again for a lot of people.

No date given as to when this be implemented…..as per usual, jam tomorrow.

Starmer - Has said precisely nothing about anything, the man is a waste of space, please god get Andy Burnham to stand next time around.

The Greens - Swivel eyed idiots now jumping in the Palestine boat.

Reform - What a loathsome rectum that Richard Tice is, even if I wanted every incoming dingy burst by machine gun fire I couldn’t vote for this Cnut.

I’m erring on the side of actually voting Monster Raving Looney….sorry,Dim Lemming just because they’re making me laugh even if it is in incredulity!

What a total bunch of witless cnuts we’ve had out before us.

Putting David Lammy on TV would be the biggest boost that the Conservatives could possibly hope for.

No longer can we label 3rd world countries as such...we are one

At least Blair put his cards on the table.

The problem with his “education” mantra was that it became a must for a lot of parents that their kids went to university, more a badge of honour for pushy parents in a lot of cases.

This lead to a dumbing down of what people were pursuing at uni, I remember hearing that at one point there was 47 kids doing a photography degree for every one job that was available.

If we’d had kids doing maths, physics, chemistry etc, etc in big numbers the Blair mantra would’ve been a genius plan, sadly it lead to a lot of dead end degrees and disappointed students who ended up in jobs well below the level they thought they were at.

My opinion has never changed with university, it should be for those who are academically elite and the subjects available should be much more narrow and of real value.

Grammar Schools worked because you had to be clever, you couldn’t scrape in really and if you did, you got found out.

Too many universities chasing the £ these days.

I was responding to Streeting's attitude tonight on QT re private schools and VAT.

Fully agree with your comments re. universities.

Not sure I agree with that really. I was I think pretty average at school and certainly not elite, but when I went to University was where I really excelled. It also opened my mind to other people outside of my bubble, new horizons and different cultures. I was pretty narrow minded before I was 18, then at Uni I realised anything was possible if I grafted for it. That age from 18-21 I really grew from being a boy to a man.

Had I not gone to Uni, I wouldn't be where I am in life now. It was a really worthwhile experience for me, and not just from an academic perspective.
