  1. The Labour party has been taken over by lobbyists and is now corporate and state-funded, they have purged many socialists from the party and alienated the unions. They no longer represent working people and have left the electorate with the choice between red and blue flavoured neoliberalism. Corbyn is stuck in the middle trying to reclaim Labour's historical ideology.

  2. You also can't spell or punctuate. I'm sure you'll be saying these migrants need to learn English next...

  3. Walruses were first discovered in the Sahara desert around 27BC by Mr Ian Walrus who named the creatures after his daughter Emily Walrus...

  4.  @elfedowen6452  Chat up lines were first invented in 1706 by Sir Alfred Chatupline in an effort to limit the amount of time wasted in social interaction :)

  5. So we should hate and fear vulnerable people now? ok got it!

  6.  @jhfdhgvnbjm75  lol no, Europe doesn't have a shortage and yes it is Brexit related. The irony being the solution the Tories posed was to relax rules on EU HGV drivers to encourage them to fill the shortage...

  8. Trump signed a peace agreement with the Taliban On February 29, 2020. The trajectory for the Taliban reclaiming Afghanistan was set from that moment on... It's not a surprise, it's not unexpected, no one was caught off-guard... This was even predicted by the Afghan army commander...

  9. Economic euthanasia is rife in Britain. It's the opposite side of the corporate greed coin...

  10.  @freedomawaits860  Not up to us, up to a select few who manipulate us for their profit while exploiting children in sweatshops and international tax laws. You think they are suddenly going to turn into philanthropists? Actually, are you religious? because that may explain the naivety...

  11.  @Mimi25291  £400 to all households. So 400 times 28.7 million households is just over £11 billion, the rest will be used to help those in most need.

  12.  @abbyanderson2463  Your first sentence should be a statement and end with an exclamation mark rather than a question mark. I'm sure the protest would have had the same coverage If she wasn't naked. But my point was that people who choose to protest naked are exhibitionists...

  13. Boris was born with his silver foot in his mouth. He has the backbone of a chocolate eclair, the IQ of a crack-addicted hamster and all the charisma of a used tissue. The only man, who after selling his soul had to give the Devil a refund... in roubles...

  14. Fash is mmm - not very pleasant to treat a former Tory mayoral candidate like that. I guess mild heckling is not allowed!

  15. So our economy has contracted by 0.7% already according to the OBR and now a further contraction of 0.4%, while the Euro zone has grown by 2.1% and is set to keep growing. If only we could find a logical and obvious connection between these figures...

  16. I'm just glad Boris Johnson isn't the Frank Spencer of global leaders and isn't making Britain look bad on the world stage. Definitely doesn't look like a reject from Jim Henson's workshop or an early attempt at combining a scarecrow and an orangutan...

  17. The least inclusive and most insular family in Britain say... Blah blah blah...

  18. I'm guessing the establishment - that Boris used to be a part of - is not happy with his dictatorial actions and is laying the groundwork for scenarios that may play out in the future...

  19. Good luck with that Nicola. I also try to always remain optimistic as I watch the Tories slowly devouring the fatted carcass of the British economy, destroying our global reputation and increasing the suffering of us poverty-burdened citizens in their relentless assault on sanity and logic...

  20. Why did he fire even a prop gun at the director and director of photography who were presumably behind the camera? It's a euphemism... similar to 'hunting accident' when a politician does it...

  21. He's unpopular throughout polices and strata of society...

  22. lol a good way to make money, not sure how much of an effect it will have on road accidents if any. Why not make it 2 miles an hour and have one policeman per car following them to ensure they stick to the limit? a preposterous society where the criminal elite get away with economic euthanasia and the poor are pestered by ludicrous legislation designed to cost them money rather than ensuring their safety...

  23. Boris Johnson is the Fred West of world leaders and his patio is Britain...

  24. 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse; The Dad hung from the chimney the result of despair, Because the Tories had made his life impossible to bear. The children were malnourished, asleep in their beds; While dreams of free school dinners danced in their heads...

  28.  @AtomicDuelist  The Tories made the rules that allow them to hire and fire so easily, the fact they broke the law on top of that is irrelevant. They are in bed together and the Tories are handing the parent company £50 million of taxpayer money. Not very aware of how politics works are ya?

  29. Ah, the pomp and pageantry of royalty. So much effort put into the preservation of the shallow end of the British (Germanic/Greek) gene pool and decades of stagnant evolution...

  30. Maybe they can afford to pay some tax now then?

  31. You could say the same about politicians, and most of them get free food, rent and transport while avoiding even a two-day week...

  33. Tories have turned Britain into a joke nationally and internationally, unfortunately, it costs the poor their lives...

  34. Prop gun and blanks if an actor or director does it, Hunting accident if a politician does it. Both euphemisms to avoid jail time for the privileged...

  35.  @yodings  There was a fuel shortage. Due to a lack of HGV drivers. Due to Brexit.

  36. Boris Johnson has lied to the British people as Mayor and PM for a decade while feathering his own nest and throwing his own colleagues under the bus. Even when he makes a valid point, his lack of integrity and history of scandals and security risks gives him absolutely no credibility.

  37. lol I hope it does go bankrupt. I hope Musk goes bankrupt...

  38. I think a system where the government gives shareholders our taxmoney while giving us nothing but debt in return has a short shelf life...

  40. What Boris lacks in intelligence, he more than makes up for in stupidity. His mother wanted to hire someone to take care of him but the Mafia wanted too much. Most people live and learn, Boris just lives. Some drink from the fountain of knowledge, Boris only gargled.

  42. How much has rail privatisation cost the taxpayer already in the last couple of decades? All the bailouts, price rises, subsidies. We as taxpayers used to own our rail networks, now they extort us and I can't for the life of me remember getting my cut when it was privatised!

  43.  @freedomawaits860  Let me know how you plan on tackling billionaires and central banks, governments and international royal families in a world where most recent wars have been fought predominantly by mercenaries and specialists (loyalty to money being an important factor)...

  44.  @DidesCharlie  Ok so a bloke many years ago stole some land and titles off another bloke by convincing some serfs to fight for him. A few generations later the family got into debt after a huge saltwater tea party and King George III sold the land his ancestors won in battle; at the cost of a few thousand serfs, to the state for a pension plan and to avoid bankruptcy. The state now owns that land but still supports his family many generations later at the cost of over £334 million per annum. Some of the more prominent "working" Royals costing the taxpayer an average of £18 million per annum. Figures from Republic. PS No one mention the mad king that lost America!

  46.  @Charlotte_Dardenne  lol how many times do I have to point out that every household in Britain gets their fair share of that money (£11 billion)? The £4 billion left over is prioritized to those at risk of starvation or death because they can't turn on the dialysis machine or ventilator that keeps them alive...

  47.  @davidphan100  We have a staff shortage in the NHS of over 100,000. Migrants and Asylum seekers are not illegal immigrants... You are aware that 334,000 people emigrated from the UK last year?

  48. lol, irresponsible kleptocrat complains about the irresponsible borrowing he's been doing to feed corporate greed via subsidies and overpriced government contracts while failing to protect those in working poverty - who are forced to use food banks - from the insane increase in the cost of living...

  49.  @cowboy4378  You do realise that death happens in every country, every day? and that accountability for those deaths is a matter of legality? for instance, accidents are investigated, cause of death is ascertained, liability is sought etc. Don't try using logic again, it isn't your forte...

  50.  @jakey960  No need for mental gymnastics, despite for Jo Cox wasn't based on her actions that led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, she was killed because some ignorant right-winger was brainwashed by billionaires and the media into taking his anger out on the wrong people. The mental gymnastics required to kiss billionaires rear ends while your family are put at risk through corporate greed and corruption must be causing some cognitive dissonance for you though...
