The cunt has fucking lost it.
The real problem with those videos is the patronising assumption that we're all as thick as fuck. Sadly, enough of us are thick enough to vote for that spunksplat again 😕

Perhaps he believes that because half the world (or maybe 52% of it) is laughing at the UK, it must be clear evidence of his comedic chops.
Or, some ultra-throbber in his PR team told him this would go down well with The Plebs.
And you're right, it will.

He has cracked the #BuildBackBullshitter one. Overweight fuckwit who nearly lost his life due to obesity enhanced covid, tucks into beer, fish and chips and butter on his toast.
#BuildBackBypass for his heart next.

Christopher "Kit" Malthouse: Crime and Policing Minister. What is it with these cunts not using their given first names?
Starting to doubt that Truss is actually "Liz".

So Build Back Better is the snappy 3 word phrase for Sun & Telegraph readers to understand. Its a great idea that we should stop relying on cheap foreign labour. We should pay UK workers decent rates of pay and accept that consumer prices will rise, inflation will go up (in the short/medium term).
The thing is, its not just EU workers providing the cheap labour. The UK attracts workers from all over Asia to work here. Also, how many times have you rung a financial companies call centre and its answered by Malcom/Margaret in India or Philippines etc.
One of the issues is UK companies like cheap foreign labour as it drives down costs. I used to work for Barclays and in 2005 900+ UK IT staff were outsourced to an IT outsource company. In 2010 we were transferred back in, all 250 left who hadn't been made redundant. 650+ jobs now being done in Asia. After 2010 UK staff were still made redundant (including me) and the numbers in India grew. Add to that large numbers of back room staff processing payments etc and the loss to the local Knutsford/Cheshire and Poole economy has been large. The building I worked at had 8 floors, 3 of which were mothballed to get the business rates bill down.
Each direct debit, card withdrawal, standing order should be charged for. I've never liked the way the banks get a lot of money from overdrafts and just charging the poorer people who cant keep their accounts in credit. Imagine the uproar if banks started charging customers again for services, no free banking!
The first company to do that would lose customers if they didnt pay decent interest. Santander charge a small monthly fee on one of their current accounts, but also pay some interest and a cashback on some transactions to keep customers with a decent balance on board.
We didnt need to leave the EU to do this, it was the greed of company owners. I know an airline pilot who made the point of Air France would only employ French pilots (or fluent in French) but British Airways would take on any nationality.
Its a British issue. As consumers, we want cheap goods and services, and aren't too bothered about the people involved who we buy from. Made In Britain tag or Made somewhere else 20% cheaper?

Don't disagree with any of that Phil but the issue with fucking Boris is that soundbites are all he has. His speech today will contain a lot of roaring, plenty of cringe, a heap of empty promises and zero substance. Everything is on credit with that cunt whether it's decorating his flat or making promises he has no chance of keeping.
His "oven ready deal" is a prime example. He just tells the slow witted what they want to hear but not how he's going to deliver it.
It's easy for me to sit here and blame voters in England for not seeing through this shite but the reality is it's the system that's fucked. He has a massive majority in the commons on 40% of the vote. As long as that system exists then the UK is fucked. No long term vision, nothing.

He has a massive majority in the commons on 40% of the vote. As long as that system exists then the UK is fucked. No long term vision, nothing. The Lib Dems promised a referendum for PR voting system, they eventually got into bed with the Tories, we had the referendum in 2011, and we voted to stay as we were. It screwed up the Lib Dems as they broke a lot of their manifesto promises to form the coalition. Labour also promised the referendum before they got into power, then didnt have the referendum as it would have hurt their chances of being re-elected. Tories said stay with FPTP. SNP and smaller parties said AV. Labour sat on the fence (same as leaving EU). Seems more of an English thing to stick with FPTP. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_United_Kingdom_Alternative_Vote_referendumThe Tories have had since June 2016 to sort out BREXIT issues, and have failed, partly because MPs of all parties couldnt agree on getting the deal done. Dec 2020 we eventually left the EU. I'm not expecting fast progress on the UK recovery. Their approach seems to be let business deal with the shortages of qualified workforce. Barclays used to have a training section for IT & actual banking business. I dont know about the banking business training in the UK, but the IT training section disappeared in the early 2000s. Same with apprenticeships in the trades. It will take years to rebuild those to provide a fully trained workforce. First of all, you need people with the skills to do the training. |
