He's lost 34 Ministers at the latest count, rather careless of him.

I also saw the Labour leader is promising to resign if the police fine him for breaking covid rules and that decision is supposed to come down this week.

Re: Random Politics
I'm ignorant of UK politics in general. I know Boris is a doofus, but are his policies especially shitty and/or especially corrupt? Or is he just such a doofus that they're trying to oust him on general principle?

More that latter than the former I think.

Re: Random Politics
Ooohhh, he gets attacked because he was in the military. It's not the horrendous politics, domestic violence and ads calling on people to kill Republicans who aren't radical enough. My mistake.

Re: Random Politics
I watched a video about his pre-PM life...and how the hell did he ever get in a position of responsibility for anything? And he had 5 kids with women who weren't his wife...while being married? How is that ugly MF'er, with that ridiculous hair, pulling that?
We should have known he was doomed from the moment Trump said he was Britain's greatest Prime Minister since Churchill.

Re: Random Politics
I've been saying to my wife for a couple of years now that I can't believe we haven't been having political assassinations in the US. Tensions are so high, we are so divided, we have so many guns, and there's a growing sense that politicians are never held accountable. It's really shocking to me that it hasn't started yet. I wonder if the assassination of Abe will be the first domino.
Totally Kafkaesque

The fact that Obama and Trump made it through their terms without anyone trying to kill them is a tribute to the Secret Service.Shirley wrote: ↑Sat Jul 09, 2022 12:01 pm I've been saying to my wife for a couple of years now that I can't believe we haven't been having political assassinations in the US.

Re: Random Politics
Large groups of people in public areas are softer targets.
You need a real idealist with a political motive to off someone in government.

Re: Random Politics
I have been waiting for someone to take out the Right Wing Extremists' prime targets for a few years now. There are "politicians" out on the stump actively calling for violence against political enemies on a fairly regular basis now. You have an increasing number of political ads with candidates toting guns with thinly veiled threats against those that oppose them.
It's frankly pretty shocking it hasn't happened.

Re: Random Politics
Exactly. And on the other side, there are so many extreme Republicans running taking extreme actions, someone is going to decide they need to stop this.

I'm certainly not rooting for assassinations, but it's really amazing they haven't begun.
