Prime Ministers et al
 
I am surprised that no one has started a thread yet regarding the Prime Minister fiasco you are experiencing over there. I am beginning to think it is a competition between the UK and Australia as to who can have the most Prime Ministers in the shortest possible time. Listening to someone this morning who seemed to know what he was taking about, it would seem that Boris might get his old job back.

Couple of old sayings come to mind. ‘Better the devil you know than the devil you don’t’ and ‘Be careful what you wish for’.

Re: Prime Ministers et al
 
Dorothy, I think it beggars belief as to what had gone on.
If people think that replacing Liz Truss with a Labour Government will make things alright again, well they are deluded.
Many of her problems were not of her making at all….but Mainstream media will not tell you that.
The falling value of sterling came at a time when the US increased their interest rates.
It was not reported that this caused a number of currencies to lose ground….the Euro and the Yen(to name just two) fell but this was never mentioned.

Many of the problems were magnified by the media…who got into a feeding frenzy.
When Jeremy Hunt was parachuted into the chancellor position the media reported that the ‘pound surged’…..Really….how is the pond being at one dollar thirteen, and going to one dollar thirteen(so no change at all) ‘a surge’.
It looks like those who pull the strings are bringing into government those back stabbing remainder voting, left leaning, untrustworthy politicians that we should be glad to be rid of.
The removal of BJ was not democratic, it was a coup.
There were many people who said that the Tory party would regret this…..and I think they were right.
We have had a zombie government of inaction while they chose another leader (Sunak being the choice of the Mandarins in Westminster and when he was rejected they did not like the candidate and engineered her unseating).

Dorothy, I despair of the situation, because it is a sorry state that allows government policy to be directed by the media.

We have been living in a fools paradise of low interest rates for many years. Global,issues have made situations very difficult for many countries…Ukraine, the energy crisis, ridiculous net zero emission policies….oh I could go on, but….well I won’t
I am sure that Liz Truss is enjoying a better nights sleep for no longer having to deal with the Tory back stabbers.

Oh, Yes….my sleep is still not much improved either….I have heard that sleeping in separate beds is good for you, but sleeping in separate towns definitely isn’t.
Just in case anyone is wondering about the timing of this posting.

I hear, sorry, (see) what you mean Marge, I do hope that your other half is improving, I don't know his name but please wish him a speedy recovery from Hazel and me and if you are ever stuck and you need any help from Hazel or me, please don't be afraid to send me a P.M.

Regards, Taddy.

Taddy, he is called David….and while he has a long way to go, things are looking up…I will certainly give him your best wishes.
Thank you for your very kind offer. It really is appreciated.

Re: Prime Ministers et al
 
I would not be surprised if Johnson returns.The alternative Tory wannabee`s can`t compare with the talismanic Boris.


(Margaret,my best wishes to your husband)

Margaret Pilkington 22-10-2022 21:56

Re: Prime Ministers et al
 
Stevie…he should not have been ousted in the first place.
What happened was the ones who are currently eyeing the prize stabbed him in the back….the party gate thing was overblown media hype.
I do not remember giving a mandate to the mainstream media to give them the power to steer governmental policies.
Governments govern…Newspapers are supposed to report news…unbiased and unvarnished.
It is a long long time since that was the case.

Thank you for your good wishes….we are getting there(I think)

Margaret Pilkington 24-10-2022 09:14

Re: Prime Ministers et al
 
It is looking increasingly likely that Rishi(or should that be Richy) the snake is going to be taking over number 10 today.
All I can say to that is would you trust someone who stabbed a colleague in the back, front and sides?
My second comment would be ‘Karma lad’…..there is NO menu in the Karma Cafe….you get served what you deserve.

cashman 24-10-2022 10:48

Re: Prime Ministers et al
 
its been deliberatly set at 100 so boris was unlikely to get that amount theres too many want to stop in the e.u, its obvious to me.

Margaret Pilkington 24-10-2022 11:38

Re: Prime Ministers et al
 
Looking that way except it was said that BJ had accrued 100 supporters, he did not enter the contest so there was really no opposition to the snake.
I would rather eat crumbs with bums than steaks with snakes….I do not trust Sunak…he is a deceitful, chancer who has engineered this outcome from last December….and you have to ask WHY…is it anything at all to do with the WEF agenda….I think that might provide an answer.

He was the creator of much of the financial crisis….he gave away money like a drunken sailor on shore leave….and he did not know how this money would be recouped.
I think we can kiss goodbye to the triple lock.
Tighten your belts…it is going to be a bumpy ride…not that he will feel any of it.

may we stay out of the E.U.? in my opinion MORDANT buggered up by running was stupid in my eyes that really buggered boris up

Margaret Pilkington 24-10-2022 15:20

Re: Prime Ministers et al
 
Cashy, let him sort out the mess…if he can then that will be good….and at least the media are with him…regardless of what the electorate think…as I said in a previous post I do not recall giving MSM a mandate to influence government policy.

And get the hype…the pound has surged….from one dollar thirteen to almost one dollar fourteen…WOW!

Less 25-10-2022 16:44

Re: Prime Ministers et al
 
The guy is on the ball, in his first address and not been in control 24 hrs but reckons Britain faces a Profound economic crisis, well he's probably right, look who they've put in charge?

Margaret Pilkington 25-10-2022 20:01

Re: Prime Ministers et al
 
Yes of course there is a profound economic crisis…he caused it by giving money out without any real idea of how he could get it back…other than to get the slaves to work harder for less rations.
In his first(wooden) speech he talked of integrity and humility…so we know that he knows the words, but doubt(no I feel sure) he hasn’t a clue what they mean.
The irony…a man who stabs his colleague in the back….makes a video promoting himself into that colleagues job….then mentions humility and integrity.
Does he think we are stupid and have short memories??

Ryewolf90 25-10-2022 20:59

Re: Prime Ministers et al
 
He also became PM without any vote for him, which doesn't seem very democratic in anyway. One wonders why someone who has a net worth of £770 million (which is double that of King Charles) would take a job that pays £161k, unless as PM he can push through policies to his benefit but not the average working person?

I'd rather have had Larry the No 10 cat as PM

Margaret Pilkington 26-10-2022 04:17

Re: Prime Ministers et al
 
Yes, and Larry the cat would be a more honest choice too.

Again, the stunning hype of the Press is laughable.
They are keen to tell us that ‘the pound soared’…..it did???

How is going from one dollar thirteen to one dollar fourteen ‘soaring’.
If it had gone from one dollar thirteen to two dollars fourteen, then that description would have been fair.
Do they think we are all numpties?
Well, yes…I think they do.

Re: Prime Ministers et al
 
Corbyn never went to a state school i must have a shocking memory. never heard the media mention that fact.:rolleyes:

Margaret Pilkington 27-10-2022 01:19

Re: Prime Ministers et al
 
This new Humble PM is saying he will stick to the 2019 Tory manifesto….he is just hoping that none of the electorate can remember what was in that manifesto.

This humble PM is the same man who said

‘I have friends who are aristocrats, I have friends who are upper class, I have friends who are working class…well,no not working class’

So not so humble after all.
Most of his cabinet is made up of MPs who were privately educated….who come from privileged backgrounds, who know nothing of real work, real lives, or real privations.
So who is there around him to tell him these facts of life?
In a word ‘no-one’

Sunak has demonstrated once again how GUTLESS he is by now going to cop sod the country.

Margaret Pilkington 02-11-2022 20:03

Re: Prime Ministers et al
 
The net zero aim should be ditched.
We should be looking to keep the businesses going, keeping families warm…and this should be by whatever means are available.

I can't find the phrase "cop sod" in my Oxford Senior Dictionary, maybe it's an old mining term.:rolleyes:

Margaret Pilkington 03-11-2022 14:27

MARK my words Sunak is going to ****** britain up.

Margaret Pilkington 04-11-2022 01:27

Re: Prime Ministers et al
 
Well of course he is…but that is what the WEF want to happen and he is one of their stooges….along with Michael Gove and others in this government.

They are rubbing their hands with glee at the thought of the UK creating an epic fail.

cashman 09-11-2022 12:47

looks like they are trying to get rid of SUNAK now? that would not upset me,

Margaret Pilkington 09-11-2022 14:43

Re: Prime Ministers et al
 
Cashy….who is trying to get rid of Sunak.
I know he is copping some flak regarding appointing Gavin Williamson, but I think it will take a lot more than that to unseat him.

taddy 09-11-2022 14:53

Re: Prime Ministers et al
 
In the words of the song, "Good to be back, Good to be back, come on, come, on. Gavin Williamson, ex fireplace salesman, now gone up in flames.

What happened to Accy Web over the last week or so? did no one pay the electric bill or what.

M.S.M. on one post, N.L.T.B.G.Y.D. on another post, is this a new coded messaging system or what ? :confused:

Re: Prime Ministers et al
 
Taddy MSM stands for Main stream media.
They should never be allowed to influence who the democratically elected leader is.
Yes I Know that Sunak was not elected by the electorate to be leader, but he was elected by the party.
The whole house of cards started to shake when the MSM stuck their news in to force a coup on the democratically elected leader….that was Boris Johnson.
Do you think they have regretted it?
If they have it does not show.
The slimy snake made a huge mistake i appointing the arrogant, entitled Gavin Williamson.
He should have his knighthood removed for his bullying and his abusive comment.
This is a government that promised integrity and humility.
That did not take long to bite them on the bum!

Yes, I can understand that Definition but why oh why do we always have to bow down to the "Yanks" who always say "Vic", instead of "Victim", So If it is Main stream then say mainstream, not msm, unless your fingers are getting tired of pressing a few keyboard buttons.

It is quicker to write MSM….and as for the man in my life…he is progressing….and has been behaving himself…doing as he is told.
No idea when he will be home
