Barryd999 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 On R4 Today this morning reports that his own back benchers are running out of patience with him. Suddenly it seems the worm has turned and its now ok to be critical of the moron. Then just take a look at this. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/jul/11/competent-likeable-decisive-keir-starmer-beating-boris-johnson-on-all-counts Thatcher a believe won her last election with an even bigger majority than Johnson and she was two years from having to call a GE and had a majority of 100 plus, but started slipping badly in the polls when the Poll Tax started going sour. She was dragged out in weeks screaming while her loyal membership wept. All the ingredients are there now I think and without doubt the party is brutal, there will be no shortages of Brutus' ready with their knives taking great pleasure in doing the deed. Johnson has a massive hill to climb to redeem himself. Not only does he have to get a grip on Coronavirus, the economy and Brexit. A lot of the new Tory MPs are very concerned. Those that were newly elected don't want a no deal. No deal was ruled out as a Brexit option because those new tory areas will be decimated by it. I think he is on the skids. Good job.

John52 Posted July 23, 2020 Share Posted July 23, 2020 Yes but Thatcher didn't have Cummings to put the skids under any candidates for her job. I can see why BoJo was so keen to hang on to Cummings at any price. Keir Starmer trounces BoJo every week at PMQs. But who listens to that when BoJo's media never reports on it :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all a bit sad, really. Fundamentally it seems the Conservative party has lost its marbles. Their current membership is a little under 200,000, and they have elected as leaders, in succession, Cameron, May, and Johnson. Hardly an impressive role call. Their party membership is predominantly over 60, instinctively conservative (small c :-)), London and south east based, middle class, male, white, Telegraph and Mail reading. Therein lies the problem. They like things as they are, and prefer unsettling things not to be mentioned. They occupy a cosy illusion about the nature of the country, and aren't too comfortable with the misleading nature of that illusion being pointed out. One might almost say they are complacent. All three recent leaders turned out to be shallow thinkers, more preoccupied with appearances than substance, with winning rather than what to do with the prize, and with a focus on the short term rather than on the longer term consequences of their actions. That suited the membership. Our problem is that with our electoral system we need them, but we need them to be led by true statesmen, not passing opportunists. The same can be said for Labour and the Lib Dems. The other parties are largely preoccupied with single objectives and, as with UKIP, are pretty much destined to die if/when that objective is reached. So, where have the statesmen all gone, or do I just have rose tinted memories of people who, having identified the national interest, set out to see it protected whether electorally popular or not, and to tell the electorate things they didn't want, but needed, to know?

As you have based your thread on two barefaced lies you really need to read what you post. 1 1/2 of all UK voters ?. Well the have not asked either my family or myself or my friends to vote or I suspect most of the rest of the UK voters. 2 The line reads on all counts and I have not been asked to comment on that either so another lie.

Still what can one expect of media outlets that have no concept of truth and the people who follow them. That's a bit hyperbolic, John. The actual quote is "Half of UK voters say they have formed a more favourable view of the Labour party since Keir Starmer became its leader in April, according to the latest Opinium poll for the Observer." Where is the lie in that? The poll results are included in the article as bar charts. The Starmer (red) bars are consistently longer than the Johnson (blue) bars. That is the evidence of Starmer's lead on all counts. As stated, it is based on an Opinium poll. So it is hardly surprising you were not asked. Polls work from selected samples of people selected to represent the electorate as a whole. Few are, or are expected to be, 100% accurate. But that chart would need to be orders of magnitude out for Johnson to be in pole position at present! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A complete train wreck with the worst still to come. Highest running total death rate in the world at one point The Economy, it tatters with the worst yet to come. Starmer just about every time in PMQ's shows Johnson up to be the incompetent buffoon he really is. Starmer really doesnt need to do much at all. So far he has played it brilliantly. Just keep feeding him his own rope. Slowly Johnsons own back benchers are turning on him now. I shouldnt make predictions apparently but it doesn't look good for Johnson long term.

So, with "loyal supporters" like that...…………………………?? :-S I think it does need destroying. Ill never vote for them in their current guise regardless of the fact that it would be unlikely anyway because of Brexit. I honestly cant see a future for the current Tory party unless Brexit and the next few years before the next election turn out to be a roaring success. I doubt if the truth be known even most of the hardened Brexiteers really believe that will happen. They would never admit that though, certainly not to the likes of us. The country is no longer producing Brexiteers though. It managed to produce a lot of temporary Baby Tories though in the Labour heartlands but the trouble with that is they are expecting to be rewarded with the sunlit uplands which you and I both know are not coming to them, quite the opposite probably. So come the next election who will be voting Tory? Most of the Brexiteers will be dead or nearly dead and they wont have grown any new ones. The vast majority of voters my age and younger are remainers and now very anti Tory what is going to change their minds if it all goes tities up? All Starmer has to do is what he is doing now, make sure there are no Corbynistas in his Shadow cabinet, wait for the Tories to hang themselves and fcuk up everything and he should be good for a victory. Wonder if he will put a referendum on joining the EU in the manifesto? (lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you have based your thread on two barefaced lies you really need to read what you post. 1 1/2 of all UK voters ?. Well the have not asked either my family or myself or my friends to vote or I suspect most of the rest of the UK voters. 2 The line reads on all counts and I have not been asked to comment on that either so another lie. Still what can one expect of media outlets that have no concept of truth and the people who follow them. That's a bit hyperbolic, John. The actual quote is "Half of UK voters say they have formed a more favourable view of the Labour party since Keir Starmer became its leader in April, according to the latest Opinium poll for the Observer." Where is the lie in that? The poll results are included in the article as bar charts. The Starmer (red) bars are consistently longer than the Johnson (blue) bars. That is the evidence of Starmer's lead on all counts. As stated, it is based on an Opinium poll. So it is hardly surprising you were not asked. Polls work from selected samples of people selected to represent the electorate as a whole. Few are, or are expected to be, 100% accurate. But that chart would need to be orders of magnitude out for Johnson to be in pole position at present! The lie Brian is in the first four words of the quote the poll was only 2,002 not all people and no demographic was given I don't think that 2,002 people is a representative section of the UK population and to be quite honest if these polls were paid for by their accuracy most if not all would be bankrupt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polls are generally a lot more accurate these days as well. A poll is still a poll though and of course can be biased or have leading questions but IMO they tend to be less so these days otherwise they just get pulled to pieces straight away.

John52 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Latest polls in Scotland are showing a majority in favour of independence, with more than 3 times as many Scots preferring Fishface to BoJo. Looks like he will be sending us even more of your money to buy off the independence vote, and maintain his empire at your expense https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/jul/23/boris-johnson-accused-of-politicising-covid-19-during-scotland-trip https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2020/jul/23/why-stronger-than-ever-union-is-wishful-thinking-from-boris-johnson-scottish-independence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdbrain Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Barryd999 - 2020-07-24 2:57 PM pelmetman - 2020-07-24 9:19 AM Barryd999 - 2020-07-24 9:10 AM Well poll or no poll I guess we will find out soon enough. Lets face it, anyone who thinks Johnson has done a good job in the year he has been PM is in denial and needs urgent help. Brexit. A complete train wreck with the worst still to come. Covid. A complete train wreck with the worst still to come. Highest running total death rate in the world at one point The Economy, it tatters with the worst yet to come. Starmer just about every time in PMQ's shows Johnson up to be the incompetent buffoon he really is. Starmer really doesnt need to do much at all. So far he has played it brilliantly. Just keep feeding him his own rope. Slowly Johnsons own back benchers are turning on him now. I shouldnt make predictions apparently but it doesn't look good for Johnson long term. This is the problem you see with people like him who just feed you lie after lie after lie. It takes a while but eventually even those that are heavily invested in him will have to admit he is not fit to run a bath let alone a country. Really? ;-) .......... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opinion_polling_for_the_next_United_Kingdom_general_election Looks to me that Boris has consistently polled at or above the 43%/44% with which he won the election B-) ......... Its the whimpy Liberals who keep flip flopping >:-) ........... I dunno why you keep posting that chart that shows how much the gap between Labour and The Tories has narrowed. (lol) I was posting about their leader anyway, Doris. His days are numbered. As I think are the Tories (see above) eventually but Doris wont last the Tories full term for sure I reckon. "but Doris wont last the full term for sure" ... I got a feeling thats guna be added to a very, very long list of bloopers from our resident political expert Barry ... Im guna go and chuck £100 on the opposite, its just about a nailed on guarantee to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
