Astonished

Last night I watched on Channel 4, three so called grown men who went to university.

The first, James Cleverly spent the whole of the time trying to defend an indefensible position.
It reminded me of the defeat of the British army at Isandlwana by Zulu's. Or Custer at his last stand.

Then it was the turn of Barry Gardener who spent the time wrongly professing that if they where in power they could negotiate a better deal from the EU.

Then there came that long streak of p--- Hogg who spent his time just spouting lies one after the other about leaving with no deal.

How pathetic they where.

The only saving grace was Caroline Lucas who spoke with great commitment and from the reaction of the audience won the debate hands down.

It also is most surprising that this eye opener on the demented politicians who are supposed to run this country has not been raised on this forum.

Unlike the previous program that garnered such hate and lunatic comment.

We choose our politicians down this way somewhat more carefully !!! (Dr Caroline Lucas MP is the Member of Parliament for Brighton Pavilion).

Re: Astonished

imo Our politicians have been 40 years just sitting there letting EU take blame and make the decisions. The entire lot of them couldn't run the proverbial party in a brewery.

As you have done well as a country in those 40 years, you could better abolish your houses of commons and lords, and just have the EU parliament 😁 and the local municipalities of course.

Well we do only need one lot above us so perhaps that might be better at this point I'm losing the will to listen to much more of it.

We're just in the process of doing that - getting rid of the bureaucrats from Bruxelles!!! so we only have one government to deal with.

Well, the shambles created by your government is unique. The EU parliament functions much better.
Your dealings with your government results in these shambles. Looking at the present state you're in, any african tribe is ruled with more stability.

The shambles is created by the EU who own and control many of the politicians. Once we kick the bally lot of them out we can restore the democratic process.

I have to admit I am starting to think someone gets to them once they get into office, we get promised last until about a week after the polls then someone whispers in their ears and all changes to pro eu pro big business and pro drinking and gambling.
