Seems Biden has put his foot in it already by stating and I quote" poor kids can be just as bright and intelligent as white kids" . I am so looking forward to the next 4 years if he keeps this standard up.🤣🤣🤣

Exactly, proportional representation means no clear majority ever, so no party would be able to pass any of the laws for which they were elected. The COALITION government of 2010-2015 seemed to pass lots of acts. This government were elected with a thumping majority to pass the UK-EU agreement of late 2019. How is that going? It will definitely be happening with that thumping majority, won't it?

He's never been interested in any kind of deal, and indeed anytime it looks like there might be a breakthrough he finds another spanner to throw in the works.

During the duration of both WW1 & WW2 Britain was ruled by coalition governments who seemed to be able to get things done

The horrible irony is that the last coalition government totally fucked up our once in a lifetime chance of getting proportional representation!

So Bummings has gone and first signs that Crump the Tunt is realising he hasn't won after all. After the Arab Spring, is this the Covid Winter? If so, who is next? There's a few on my list, including Reece-Mogg, IDS and especially the odious Gove and poisonous Patel. Trouble is, there are any number of nasty little shites out there eager to replace them.

I can't see Johnson lasting another 4 years, so hopefully they'll go with him when he falls. But, as you say, there isn't a lot of choice these days, the post-Brexit, post-'red wall', Tory party is a depressingly low-talented place these days. Most of the Tories I had any time for bailed ship or were kicked out with the Johnson coup. Can't say I'm all that impressed with Labour at the moment, either. Starmer is probably the right man for the job, but so far all he seems to be doing is not being Corbyn.

At that point the country will realise what it did

At that point, folk will start to realise that the creek called shite is longer than the Amazon and we are almost at the source.

Just one silly old fucker replacing another one that's all it is. I'm keeping this saved until you overtake jdl on the post count... According to the Maidstone supporters facebook page most of us are just dinosaurs who dont listen to anyone who hasn't supported the club for 200 years,so technically I would be a silly old f**king dinosaur.😁
