Its Hilarious Really

[nicebloke1]

How many stay at home experts we have on here, all shouting behind their front doors on what and how the government should be doing this and that. Its KS who's calling the shots, and its KS who's reached high office. Where have you reached, the end of the garden gate.

Is this a serious question?

 

If is, can I refer you to pretty much all of your posts, and your Svengali's posts, before the GE.

[Omg21]

I don't think Nicebloke understands irony.

[nicebloke1]

We should have a new TV program, GPs behind closed doors has had its day. :0)

[Deskdiary]

Omg21 - many of the hard of thinking don't.

KS is, as you put it, calling the shots. That is due to the vagaries of the voting system in this country whereby somebody who is totally unsuitable and incapable of carrying out the task is elected.

It matters not whether I had a different career than some politician. The point is I can tell when a PM has disconnected from public opinion and is getting most things wrong. And it seems the majority of the public can too.

[nicebloke1]

Well when you consider Trump is doing what the people of the US demand I'm greatful our PMs dont bend.

Where have you reached?,well most people have reached the end of their tether with the labour goverment.

"...whereby somebody who is totally unsuitable and incapable of carrying out the task is elected."

And that principle is further confirmed when one considers the present holders of the other three "Great Offices of State" - Messrs Reeves, Lammy and Cooper.

These, remember, are the crème de la crème. The top dogs. The best Labour has got.

First up, His Majesty's Chancellor of the Exchequer and
Second Lord (or in this case, Lady) of the Treasury. A person who is - shall we be kind and say - economical with the truth. Not unusual for a politician, I hear you say, and you'd be right. But most of them manage to get their CVs reasonably accurate.

Next, His Majesty's Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs. Here we have a man who when The Higher Education Minister - unwisely many may think - appeared on the popular TV quiz programme "Mastermind." He came last in the specialist subject round, then demonstrated similar levels of ignorance of general knowledge. Among other things he confused Marie Curie with Marie Antoinette, thought that Red Leicester was a blue cheese and, despite being MP for Tottenham, got a question about Spurs football club wrong. The piece de resistance came when he was asked "Who acceded to the throne on the death of his father, King Henry VIII?" Lammy (London University; Havard Law School) replied “King Henry VII?"

Mr Lammy also claimed he was raised in a family dependent upon tax credits, which were actually introduced when he was aged 31. He is also on record as suggesting the tradition of producing white smoke upon the election of a new Pope was racist.

Finally, His Majesty’s Secretary of State for the Home Department. Nothing much to say about Ms Cooper other than to say that the only employment she ever had before becoming an MP was advising other MPs.

NJ. You have unwittingly just confirmed the op.

[New Judge]

I disagree.

I'm not shouting about what the government should be doing. I'm reacting to the idea that the Prime Minister has reached high office and so should be admired,

The fact is, when looking at current Labour MPs, it doesn't really take too much effort to rise to High Office because the current bunch seems spectacularly devoid of talent and ability. So much so tha the best four are who we currently have.

That's not hilarious. It's very worrying.

//I'm reacting to the idea that the Prime Minister has reached high office and so should be admired,//

Sorry mate, but that's hilarious given your fawning praise of other people that have reached high office simply because they've reached high office.

[tommy39]

he may have reached high office,but he is totally out of his depth.trying hard to be a statesman and getting laughed at.all mouth and trousers and even those were bought for him

[naomi24]

Tomus, I don't think you understood what NJ is saying.  He isn't giving praise - fawning or otherwise.
