The Political Thread

[morpheas]

The right wing can't the problem - Greece has a left wing government and look at the state it's in right now.  Clearly the problem is socialism and we need to go further to the right to correct this.

This is a joke isn't it?

The dynasties of central PASOK / right ND governments rotating since 1970 are mainly responsible for the crisis. Whole generations of them are in politics since forever.

SIRIZA got elected 2015 and are a scapegoat. Every cut is dictated by Germany, IWF and Brussels.

But it's worth pointing out to you that the other Partner in government are ANEL, a is a conservative, national-conservative, and right-wing political party.

And they are good partners until now. Greeks, heh?

I'm delighted to see our political thread has once more found its natural level

And then morpheas brings it back to politics

Thatcher-Ghola is out-of-containment and thawing nicely.


Be seeing you, gentlemen. England Prevails.

Well thanks for that, you fucking self-absorbed gullible xenophobic assholes. Led to disaster by power-hungry buffoons who only four months ago espoused completely the opposite view, by people who make Mosley look like he had a moral core, whose self-interest is so great that they can merrily shit on facts and smile while doing it. But they couldn't have done any of it without the narrow hatreds and jealousies buried just below the surface of the Great British patriot. Well done, all.  Not that you even know what you've done.

I'm sat here nearly in tears, at a bit of a loss. The horrible truth is what Tordelback says is true. I'm truly sorry and ashamed of the country I have to call my own.

Good luck Scotland, we no longer have the right to chain you to us as we descend.

I know exactly what I did, I voted to Remain in Europe.

I've just woken, and come here first rather than watch what the TV people pass off as news. Going by the reactions here it seems we will be leaving.

I'm less than impressed but I'm sober - so I won't be typing out fifteen paragraphs of the word "Fuck"!

I feel sick.

Apparently young people mostly voted to remain while older generations voted to leave.

I'm not sure if that's any comfort but it might suggest that young people are less likely to be persuaded by traditional forms of media (which is what I'd expect). Probably a good thing for the future.

No problem! We're now saving £350 million a week. Free private health care for EVERYONE!

[The Legendary Shark]

Don't worry. You'll still all retain the right to be subjugated by the same elites. They'll just do it to you nationally instead of continentally.

The bankers and corporations will now make things hard for us to discourage any other nations from leaving too.

Farage is ALREADY rowing back on that one and Johnson/Gove are urging PM not to trigger article 50: It won't be Brexit as the brexitters want, it'll be a fudge that satisfies nobody (but fucks the economy anyway)

The only trouble is we've got to get there with smalled fools lead by self-interested master manipulators at the helm. A positive future seems a long, long way off. I look to my children and hope I can get them there, I worry that I might not.

The only phase I can think of rhymes with clucking bell.
