May 29th, 2024 - 10:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0Note to said Argys:
It’s an election campaign stupid!!!
Of course in Argentina no politician would ever dream of half promising something that then never got followed up, oh no would never happen.
In Argentina they promise everything and deliver nothing, so this sort of electioneering is probably why too subtle for Argys to ever understand.
Could not have put it better Pughol. they need to get a life, 2 very sad little people,
May 29th, 2024 - 10:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0It's so easy to reinstate compulsory conscription when you are a very rich politician who can get away with that by paying bribes or playing with the rules themselves. As always, the most vulnerable people will be the ones serving as meat fodder. What a clown this Sunak...

Jun 02nd, 2024 - 03:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That certainly looks to be the outcome at the moment, however remember John Major.
I suspect that it won’t be as bad as that simply because Starmer is a complete dick head, without a defined policy to his name, just slogans and broad statements.
Like a ‘border command’ to ‘smash to people smugglers’, however what are they going to do that the half dozen or more agencies currently involved in the UK and EU are not already doing, isn’t explained.
At this point the Tories have clearly lost the election, question is can Labour under Starmer win it.
I may well have a ‘cheeky punt’ on the outcome of a minority Labour government.
My gut feeling is a Labour majority of about 20, lots of tactical voting,
Jun 02nd, 2024 - 08:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well, Sunak did shift the dial with the Prime ministerial debate here, according to the polls.
Jun 05th, 2024 - 02:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Where Sunak is not the best public speaker or debater, Starmer was decidedly worse, refusing to answer direct questions, trying to change the subject and even talking over Sunak when he was trying answer the question, still trying to change the subject.
Starmer could not stay on topic or even shut up.
Not a good look.
I still think this is more open than many predict, question is by how much.
