Walker570 Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 I'm with the bookies and this morning Penny M is on 3 to 1 out in front. Sunak lying second a shor head behind and all the others trailing. Lots of public input which has to influence the sitting MPs as they will be going into an election hoping to keep their jobs. I must say Penny Maudant stands on the shoulders of the rest. Ex Millitary and great presence and not afraid to voice her opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja Clavata Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 If Brexit is done then what does it matter if the future leader originally voted to remain? None of the candidates are suggesting it should be reversed, it cannot be reversed. Some of the comments here, go some way in supporting the assumption that Boris is worshipped in some quarters purely for getting Brexit done. Interesting line of "thought" / reasoning. It is however kind of ironic that arguably the two most credible / serious candidates did originally vote to remain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno if its fair to say that was and still is one of the most important issues of our time if we exclude things that were not of our making like COVID 19 and war massively raising food and all fuel prices with knock on effects in almost every industry that uses fuel, fertiliser wheat or cooking oil.

Interesting line of "thought" / reasoning. It's probably the most significant thing a PM has done in the last twenty years or so, and certainly something that the whole country felt strongly about. Margaret Thatcher re took the Falklands, I can well imagine if it happened these days the response would be different. After that what has been done? Everything has just been normal run of the mill government business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems occasionally they do make the right call. Not sure who was daft enough to back him in the first place, but they want a @Scully style bitch slap upside the head.

Do you honestly believe that was the problem with the last loser we had as PM? I think some have to accept that they just made a mistake with their selection. It could be much worse some even thought Trump was a good choice too. They just need to reset their judgement and evaluation scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
