His main gripe was that he didn't like the Covid measures and thought that everything should just be allowed to let rip. Being right about Johnson being a c***, doesn't mean he isn't one as well. Yep, they're all ***** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustibrooks Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 Not advocating for this (although I don't really blame people for doing so) but how long until the British public 'snap' and start protesting/rioting en masse? I'm a bit surprised it hasn't got to that yet, it just seems like the majority are just tweeting rather than doing something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority aren't tweeting - just looking at something political on the internet probably puts someone in the 10% most politically engaged people in the country. Someone tweeting about politics probably puts them in the top 2%. Edited April 19, 2022 by ml1dch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A warm spell in June should do the trick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just basing it off my own eyes to be fair, without sounding ignorant or anything it just seems that most politicians/people involved with politics these days spend a fair bit of time tweeting things rather than trying to do something that can help.

As long as they get their Deliveroo for lunch and can browse Tik Tok then they're happy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's depressing, I live and work in London and even with a lot of my co-workers they don't seem to care so much about doing anything. I can never force them obviously it's their own choice after all, but they only seem to care when it directly impacts their day-to-day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 The most hate I ever hear for Boris and the Tories is on here. People know the score (who doesn't) but no one I speak too really gives a *****. I guess in reality, we all realise the country will never be run how we all want it.

People don’t tend to talk about politics verbally very often. Online and on TV pretty much everybody is criticising them constantly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't voted Tory in the last 3 elections and that's something they need to work on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is for all the people who would vote for them if they supported the Rwanda project or getting on board with 'benefits scrounger' language they will lose two voters who specifically vote for them as a party they believe will look after the most vulnerable. I'm not including you in this, but pretty much everyone I've spoken to and heard the 'I'd never vote for Labour' has, after some gentle prodding, turned out to be completely politically illiterate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
