I've yet to discover any of them that are half decent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have miss heard him then ? You mean restore 50% of the police, NHS, and education spending that was cut under May while he was a minister in her government? Marvellous! But as with everything Boris says it's prudent to wait and see how true it actually is. Edited July 27, 2019 by Retsdon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eton to Oxford to City ..he's never stepped out into the real world in his life. He's led as sheltered an existence as it's possible to do in the modern world. 1 hour ago, welsh1 said: It is also telling when someone writes "But it's symptomatic of the man and those of his ilk."

Marvellous! But as with everything Boris says it's prudent to wait and see how true it actually is. Police numbers were cut under Cameron, as part of his needed austerity drive, due to labour overspending. The NHS budget has not been cut for years, what has happened it is servicing increased patient numbers from immigration and population increase, Bojo has promised more money. Education , the same issues, more students, more 'diversity' in subjects, needs more money - promised. All these problems existed under labour too, money is not always the answer, better strategy and management , and a radical rethink of how we do things. Hopefully , out of the EU , and with a fresh approach we can achieve this, is Boris the man ? Im optimistic , rather than pessimistic, and that helps too.

JDog Posted July 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 I see that Capt. Pugwash and Nodster have had their equilibriums upset by the election of BJ as PM and JRM as Leader of the House. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-G Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 I thought both Boris and JRM were a refreshing change in the house. Shame that most MPs drown out the voice of whoever is speaking which I think is downright ruddy rude.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, I did compare your words against Boris. As you cast doubt on his ability to tell the truth, I rather assumed you had higher standards. Dave-G - totally agree. Both were far sharper than the heavily scripted Corbyn, who slips "the few" and "the many" into almost every sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I wondered from your examples if it was purely a racial thing, or if perhaps you objected to all dialectal variations from standard RP. From your response I'm assuming that you don't quite know what you think at all. So we'll leave it there, shall we? No I think you are a fool.

That's why I spend 9 months a year in a sh*thole like Saudi, separated from from my wife and children.....my English-speaking British children I might add, who are getting a 3rd world education in a military dictatorship while I'm away. Myself and my children have already suffered the consequences of having this pack of spivs and chancers as a government when they effectively locked us out of our own country.

Quicker on their feet than the opposition, they have been great to watch. JRM shredded the MPs opposite, including one from the Tory back benches, who was prattling on about debating No Deal. ^^^^ This for me has been a welcome interlude in an otherwise boring period. On the entertainment meter Bozo and JRM have hit the high spot this week and long may it continue. I am so looking forward to the next installment of Brextreme when our star team meet with their counterparts in the EU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
