UK Politics Thread IX: The Masses Against the Classes

[Nilrahrarfan]

Now, now. That has never been a bar to being leader of the Conservative party.

Or prime minister.

And Sargon of Akkad is the most qualified person to lead this union, because he knows his shit.

Sargon of Akkad, Britain's biggest idiot.

Has a nice ring to it as a campaign slogan....

Why dont we just build stronger ties with the commonwealth and USA and let Europe ripe it self apart

With all due respect, Europe is not likely to "ripe it self" apart anytime soon, especially over Brexit of all things.

Because those places are far away and Europe is close. Not even a slogan on a bus can change geography.

Also the Commonwealth is full of dicks.

Good luck with all the Western European immigrants, if the continent rips itself apart.

Chances are about 99% that huge problems on the mainland of Europe will spill over to the UK. They've always done so (and also the other way around).

And it's because it is a false dichotomy. It's not us vs them. UK is very much a part of Europe.

It's not that that bothers me about the idea we should leave the EU and trade more with the Commonwealth. It's the fact that the vast majority of the Commonwealth is poor as fuck and Europe is rich.

Well we have more in common with majority of commonwealth nations than Germany or France and it always has been us vs them. For last 500 years our policy was to ensure Europe disunity and why change it now after all of its success though Germany did throw a spanner in the plan in 1900s it worked pretty well none the less we have never lost our superpower status

Bollocks. There are 53 countries in the Commonwealth and we have things in common with about 6 of them. Australia, Canada, Malta, Cyprus, New Zealand, and maybe Singapore.

Maybe don't form policy based on that one scene from Yes, Minister.

[The New California Republic]

we have never lost our superpower status

Ha.

So Boris is a cunt.

Who could have predicted it?


Anyone.

Only because they're nations where we forcibly imposed our values.

Africa as a continent was actually pretty stable before we fucked it up.

I wouldn't call pre-colonial Africa stable to be honest. It was a mess, but the Europeans made it absolutely worse because of their lack of tact.

Didn't work out so well in Swaziland. Or Burma. Or Brunei. Or Sudan. Or Zimbabwe.

Zimbabwe under British rule was the bread basket of Africa now it's the basket case, Europe through better geography developed the methods of better ruler ship for us the masses capitalism and democracy, Africa after 1960d began to forget this (in some nations) which led to mess Africa is today however Africa was never stable to begin with weather it be Arabia slavers or there lack of advance tech Africa need modernizing and they where luckly that us British did the most of it rather than French Belgium or arabs who where he worst out of all the options
