Re: Priti Patel
I don't think what I thought had any bearing on Labour winning or losing.
If anyone wants to elaborate I'd be very interested but I find it difficult to understand how a lifelong Labour supporter views Johnson as the logical option.

Gordaleman, I have no intention in entering a duologue with you about the merits of Dianne Abbott, life is far too short I'm afraid.
Re: Priti Patel
Some of the vitriol definitely appeared to be hate. Realistically she was no more incompetent than a raft of actual cabinet members. Patel has shown she also can't do numbers, Raab didn't realise that Dover might have a bit of trade going through it, Grayling signed a deal with a ferry company using T&Cs from a pizza company, etc (and this is before we get on to cabinet members who've been sacked in disgrace).Vino blanco wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 4:27 pmI don't think people hate Diane Abbott, they are just surprised that some one of her incompetence should have been promoted to a position of seniority in the Shadow Cabinet.

Re: Priti Patel
Yep, i have also found that reasoning bizarre.
I voted for the tories as i didnt want the last ten + years of austerity to be wasted by us electing the hard left, only for us to have to go through it all again after JC and his marxist friends borrowed relentlessly and gave it all away. These things run in cycles you know.
I rejected a labour party that was no longer relevant to the times we live in.
I hope Starmer can return it to a more centrist position... somewhere that people from all walks of life can see a future in. A position that rewards hard work, enterprise and encourages business to thrive, rather than punishing it for making money. JC and his cronies are living in a different time, the world they live in isn't where we are living. TB and GB understood it well enough, despite the fact that the former non-Etonian PM is now disgraced due to his handling of the Iraqi regime change disguised as something else. (see, they are all as bad as each other really)
Had the labour party elected the right brother to be leader, we may not actually be here. Who knows eh?

If she's sold her family more than once there's a strong case to say she's committed fraud. Hope it's been referred to Trading Standards and HMRC.

Re: Priti Patel
If Jenrick and Patel had any honour they'd resign like this NZ politician did https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-53259236 but they don't so they won't, and there's no chance of our esteemed PM actually sacking anybody, the rumoured reshuffle in September could be worth watching though, if either of them are still in office after that, then it will prove beyond doubt that this government's lost the plot, now whether the opposition would be any better is doubtful, but the country will get their say in 2024, and hopefully by than KS will have made Labour a more palatable option, i have no great hopes whoever's in, so i'm never disappointed.
PM'S in my voting life are as follows.
Blair- started well in his 1st term, and then it all went pear-shaped after the Iraq fiasco.
Brown- I've actually attended events where he was speaking, and i believe he genuinely does give a s**t about the common people, so that's a tick, but he was unlucky that the financial crash happened when it did, however his administration could have mitigated the fallout with tougher regulations on the banking industry(and no before anyone says it) the Tories haven't done any better in that field.
Cameron-I never felt he took the gig seriously, yet another entitled Etonian who felt he should rule by right, and as for his coalition partner, what a wet lettuce he turned out to be.
May- Dreadful HS, and a dreadful PM, but TBH whoever got the keys to number 10 post the referendums, Scottish and EU was going to have a thankless task.
Johnson- He was incredibly fortunate that he had Corbyn's Labour party as his opposition, this covered up a lot of his failings, and has been stated already on this thread, it was more the failure of the Labour party, rather than his popularity, that propelled him to power, he also greatly benefited from the brexit impasse, as the whole country was thoroughly fed up, and just wanted a resolution, now post-election, it would seem we're still no further advanced in the process, but hindsight's wonderful isn't it.
Do i expect the next occupant of 10 Downing Street to be an improvement, not really no, i have low expectations nowadays, that way i'm never disappointed.

Re: Priti Patel
I find the relative treatment of Patel and Abbot Really interesting. I still occasionally receive memes taking the **** out of Diane Abbott based on a misquoting of a number on a radio show years ago, yet I don’t recall Seeing a single one following Priti Patel’s inability even to read out a big number when making a statement in her capacity as Home Secretary.Vino blanco wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 4:27 pmI don't think people hate Diane Abbott, they are just surprised that some one of her incompetence should have been promoted to a position of seniority in the Shadow Cabinet.
It seems strange to make a comment on the incompetence of a former shadow cabinet minister when presented with the short-comings of the current incumbent of the actual job and, indeed, many of her colleagues. In fact, given the widespread incompetence on show on both sides of the House in recent years, it does make you wonder why Abbott has been singled out for such abuse..

I’m not sure what you think was achieved by austerity. Osborne grew our debt by more than every Labour government in history. There’s no way of spinning that to “getting the nation’s finances in order.” At the same time he made massive cuts to our social infrastructure, leading to a rise in crime, poverty, homelessness, and wage stagnation. He cut taxes so much for the rich that Labour were able to offer a program of lavish investment and nationalisation on the basis of reversing those tax cuts. I would say that whatever information source that persuaded you to think Labour were hard left, also managed to get you to overlook the utter disaster that was austerity.bobinho wrote: ↑Sat Jul 04, 2020 4:43 pmYep, i have also found that reasoning bizarre.

Sadly Andrew, when the 'free press' are owned by folk who gain most from corrupt tories, they ensure the stories are written to dupe the masses accordingly.
The masses lag behind reality, as you would expect, given the volume of the propaganda.
Similarly, their abuse of Nicola Sturgeon, who dares to challenge, from afar, is horrendous.
The outcome is that they have passed of all the Scots and now she is supreme and independence is well ahead. In the newest polls. Enough of Mr Johnson, as far as they are concerned.

"There is a smear on the colour spectrum where blue shades into black and conservatism turns into something darker. The reasonable desire of states to control their borders can slip into the stab-in-the-back myths and paranoid self-pity of the demagogue who can raise a mob but can’t run a country."
