So after promising a huge investment in Britain after Wrexit in the election, the Tories are now planning bigger budget cuts than the spending increases they promised! Talk about a gullible populace. That and the two amusing ladies above (plus loads of others I saw over the weekend) show you really should have to take an exam before you can vote.

Ten years down the line, when we are in the ****, they will still blame

Looks like the Brexiteer dream of stopping immigration dead in its tracks as soon as we leave the EU is still further away than ever:

Such a shame that all the campaign money is spent, one meme dropped on Facebook and 30% of the country would be singing that.

Kinda not brexit related but given Germany is the biggest force in the EU shows how the establishment will act.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-51399445

So a democratic vote being talked about being reversed because the establishment doesn't agree with it. Whether you agree or disagree with the politics, the majority has spoken, that is the fundamental point of democracy how ever the system works.

Funny, the British press are telling the story a little differently than the German press, spinning the rise of populism and anti democratic lines. What this story really is, is that all parties in Thüringen state government, including the AfD, have democratically formed a coalition against the far left in order to gain a majority with a liberal leader with the intention to step down and force a new election. This is possible due to the proportional representation system which requires a coalition to form a majority. The other parties might not agree on much, but they do agree that the far left were not fit to govern and that was enough to do this deal to create a majority. It may not be the normal way of politics, but all done completely democratically! In the lack of a stable government, it is the normal democratic thing to do to hold a new election.
Also Thüringen is not really representative of current German politics, although the British press like to make a lot of noise about it to give the impression that the right wing vote is on the rise in Germany. Overall, the AfD have been losing votes in every other state, particularly since Brexit. The Greens and liberal FDP are the ones mostly increasing in popularity, particularly in local elections. The SPD (Socialist) have really been hit hard in recent years and the CDU/CSU (Merkel's Conservatives) have lost some popularity, but are still by far the most popular party.

So, because we were ruled by a bunch of unelected bureaucrats, we left the EU. Now we are ruled by an unelected bureaucrat in Dominic Cummings

Never, in the history of UK politics, have so many people been fooled by so few

You utter f*ckwits

Oh absolutely, but this just highlights even more how stupid the unelected bollocks is, and always has been! Just another lie for the uneducated to swallow up, and swallow it up they did.

Well, just one that the media have highlighted as the main villain de jour.

At least the baying mobs* don’t need to cross the channel to hang him from a nearby tree
