You just don’t get TV like that any more.

I had a Chinese client ask me once (with all
sincerity) why Ireland had left the UK.

His view was “bigger is better”. Be part
Of bigger country to have more influence. He also chastised the Greeks during the economic crisis for behaving like “Communists”

Wonder if Brexit has emboldened the Chinese. Has to be a factor.

The Chinese hardly know Britain is there.

Shame it’s not happening sooner than that to catch out the boomers.

It’ll have to happen everywhere and everyone knows it, but political parties all over the World are burying their heads in the head sand

Agree absolutely, the boomers are riding everyone raw again, but it is actually completely right. Historically, people died three or four years after getting the pension. Now it’s 50 years for some and twenty odd for most. It’s simply not fair.
I hope voluntary euthanasia is available to me when my time approaches (just not today)

Theresa May’s sensible policy on paying for the demographic time bomb was her one bright spark in office…until she capitulated a couple of days later.

Agree 100%

Iain Duncan Smith is hoping that “voluntary euthanising” of people will be available to him as well

@flattythehurdler s buddy Sir Keir Starmer will run for the leadership of the Labour Party

A moderate choice. Momentum have the votes though.

Starmer will win

He’ll run on a leftist platform

Long-Bailey isn’t exciting the membership

It worked really well in December .

Policies weren’t Labour’s problems, mate

The problem was Brexit and four years of constant smears by far right media

Which will be a problem again regardless of who the leader is

If you know anything about internal Labour party dynamics you’ll know that you won’t win the leadership without running left

So Starmer would be very well advised to

He’s a smart guy so that’s what he’ll do and that’s why he’ll win

Eek

Oooooffft. Time for Johnson to deport himself.
