Title: Whoring for Britain
Post by: Nearly Sane on April 05, 2017, 09:18:31 AM

While Theresa May hawks her wares while mouthing idiocies about Cadbury's in a country where an Easter egg hunt would get you beheaded, disgraced Liam Fox gives a rimjob to Duterte.

I don't share your confidence that whoever replaces them wouldn't do exactly the same thing. Unless whoever it was reversed Brexit and that ain't going to be Corbyn.

And the notion that the Labour Party has clean hands on this sort of stuff is pish

Brexit is a disaster of tory devising. It is now a question of how the UK is going to look. A low tax, low welfare, low wage economy with Jam the day after tomorrow? The first ever carved out of a wealthy society? or something else.

There was a point where British society realised that the workforce was not expendable because in a capitalist society you need people to buy things and the same will come about with the realisation that low waged people cannot spend.

If there are a minority of rich then society as a whole becomes de facto socialist since it becomes non capitalist.

Par for the bluddy course-Saudi Arabia, Phillipines, whats next? Mugabwe? or Indonesia?

What really annoys me is that I had noticed in my middle age that when I went abroad, the natives actually seemed to like the English, now as a result of the Brexit vote everybody seems to think that we are a bunch of clunks again.
