No wonder you got nowhere in your life.

Got nowhere in my life? My life has been quite successful to date although I obviously cant compare to a career civil servant who spent his life in charge of car parks and cemeteries.

Be still my beating heart, living in a shithole but I could commute to fucking Manchester!!

Christ, I'm just sooo fucking excited I nearly came in patent leather codpiece.

well the EU is not one political block, so you need to find an educated compromise to find a new leader, and that can only be done for now with an educated elite

but that process has its flaws too, and can only be temporary once we all integrate into one BIG EU nation

Already got a buyer for our place

well done, cant be easy to sell what with the oversupply of condos these days.

where are you moving to, back to blighty? portugal? or a retreat to isaan?

i would sell our hua hin gaff in a heartbeat, we bought at 73 to the pound, so would make some healthy bunce with which to relocate and spend winters on the med, but mrs. t loves the condo and the peace and quiet we enjoy there, plus her family are not too far away in bkk, so for the moment its not on.

How was Corbyn chosen as Labour leader, didn't the lower end all have to pony up part of their welfare cheques to join the Labour party to have a say?

It is not a single party error, it is a system error in your democracy model affecting it all the way from the grass root voter up to the representation in parliament.
If there is something you have showed the world during the last 3 years then it is how outdated your political model is.

No issue with the way we choose party leaders in the UK, however the first past the post system is no longer fit for purpose and is a joke.

butterfly

so you need to find an educated compromise to find a new leader, and that can only be done for now with an educated elite

educated compromise ?????

educated elite ??

the french and the germans ?

underneath their paper thin veneer of euro sophistication, they are most devious, duplicitous, dishonest and disgraceful politicians on the planet.

meanwhile they argue and bitch as they attempt carve up control of the eu commission to their own advantage, behind closed doors of course. unlike the uk, the media, and hence the public are kept well away from the in fighting.

brexit. bring it on. we'll take the hit, we'll take the devalued pound for a few more years, but in the end it can only be for the best to get away from the eu and its regulatory protectionism that protects only the french and the germans.

I forgot to mention, our neighbour wants to buy and combine the two....

russian oligarch? swiss banker? albanian gangster?

Had the chance to change it in 2011 but failed miserably. No media interest and piss poor turnout. My History teacher had been going on about PR since the early 70's and when the chance comes up the people flopped...bit like brexit really.

I think you'll find when the chance to vote on Brexit appeared it anything but flopped with 33 million people making their voices heard and thankfully voting the right way. First past the post suits both the Tories and Labour makes it nigh on impossible for smaller parties to get into Parliament hence no political will to change it. The 2015 GE was the biggest example of this with UKIP getting 4 mill odd votes ending up with 1 MP, the SNP and Libdems getting about 1.5 mill each if memory serves and ending up with 50 and 10 MPs.

Retired nerd millionaire and his Thai wife.

it is one of the irritating things about living where I do, every other farang fucker in my building I know seems to have inordinate amounts of money derived from footling jobs that would bore me to death and none has my talent or skillset!

While Boris is a pretty firm favourite at 1/16, and represents Brexit, how the fcuk did they allow Hunt to challenge? A firm Remainer that now believes inb Brexit? Where have we heard that before, while anyone and their goat knows after recent agonies only the dumbest Brit would rinse and repeat by trusting anyone with remain on their CV to supervise Brexit.

Boris will fudge it, won't risk a face off against a rebellious Parliament that doesn't know what it wants as long as it isn't what the people they represent want. So he will either extend with some garbled explanation or give up the pretence by presenting a rehashed Frau-May surrender Treaty. The one thing he will not deliver is a no-deal, that's where your house should be, by process of elimination when there are two choices and you get rid of one, and the only difficult bit to figure is how long the next extension will be.

Do you (or anybody else) trust Hunt to deliver Brexit?

Sure, no, but the circus has come to town and this election has nothing to do with Brexit except to those that believe ether one of these clowns will - or could - deliver it.

£ at 38.74 as of a few minutes ago, and sliding.

make that 38.71 and sliding...

The selection of the PM will thus be done by people who are informed about the candidates capability and suitability and not by a populace who has paid money for doing it.

Sounds a little Chinese to me.

Why shouldn't he be allowed to do that? The Tory party is selecting a leader for the coming 3 years, there is more to politics than Brexit.

Well, you answered your own question there.

Both have said no deal is preferred to not leaving but then again Doris said no deal is better than a bad deal while she got the civil service to negotiate a bad deal behind her cabinets back.

Yes, but the leadership is not only about Brexit, it is also about electing a PM that Britain in worst case is stuck with for 3 years.

Looks like Bojo's floozie is already getting tired of the fat, lying sack of shit. Papers full of it today after the police called to attend the ruckus. But what gets me is that the selfish, inconsiderate cvunt parks his jalopy every day in a residents parking zone without a fucking permit which the locals have to queue up for and pay. Fucking outrageous behaviour. Fucking a 30 year old up the arse in your 50s after shitting on your marriage of 25 years and dumping on your family is one thing, but stealing a chap's parking space in London is a fucking atrocity for which he should be strung up by the balls and left for the birds to peck his eyeballs out.

I see the £ has stabilised at....39.19 baht. Banks in Thailand will be offering around 37. Getting tougher now for those ditch digging whoremongers wanting to visit on their shagfest hols.


It's like we have entered an alternate universe. A PM who cannot keep his cock in his pants whose idea of responsibility is to joke about his fuckups lives with a bit of fluff in her one bedroom South London flat where they squabble and fight to a degree the Old Bill are called out because the neighbours think he's done her in.

What better man to lead Brokendownbrexitbritain, the champion of the Brexit chavster and xenophobic right wing nazi fart, BoJo "Asbo" The Clown. Bumbumboy will be getting hot and sweaty now his hero likes to thump his women about the place.

How Liz puts up with it is beyond me. Time to hand the reins of power to Charlie and retire to Windsor castle.
