    Bazza asked for privacy at this delicate time for both him and his girlfriend :)

    Either @Ermintrude , or @Kkkaty are getting my vote...based on recent discussions on here, both have shown a far better understanding of politics and decency than the current bunch of cockwombles!

    I think we should take it out of the hands of politicians.

    Get 20 of the most successful business people, one or two from each sector, and ask them to move it forward as a committee.

    Get people that know how trade and transactions work - not idiots whose great great grandfather used slaves to build their fortune and every generations since has merely been good at winning soggy biscuit at posh school.
     
  5. Not a bad idea. Unfortunately, anyone with any imagination and talent generally isn’t interested in becoming a politician.

    Bye, bye, Theresa. You won’t be missed.

    I'm not proposing they become politicians, just put actual people from business on secondment for a few months - no professional 'advisers', no policy 'experts' - people in charge of successful business that have major shareholdings and a track record of hands on management.

    Take a few from each sector, include farming and agriculture, limit the bankers to 2 and let them form a committee underpinned by international trade commercial lawyers (again, not out to pasture old fogey's).

    Each person should have demonstrable pedigree, not just a title.

    Put them in a room for a few months, give them whatever data sources they need, and allow a subset to then present what is best for this country to parliament.

    If parliament fails to support that deal - they should go to general election with the proviso that NOT ONE of the dickheads is allowed to re-stand - it has to be all new, same for the advisers and strategists that sit under them, and some of the senior civil servant cling ons.
     
  7. Quite a lot of talent in the civil service (if all the good ones haven’t bailed out), so don’t necessarily want to get rid of them.

    Agree that anyone who stood in the last GE should be allowed to stand. No Eton boys, pointless old lib dems or tired old dimwit relics who still think it’s 1971.

    Time for some new blood.

    I feel sorry for her.
    I think she has generally tried her best only to be let down by the idiots who can’t make a decision without sitting on the fence or looking after there own personal circumstances.

  9. True to an extent, I think. It was an almost impossible task. But she wasn’t right for the job.

    She lost her hearing aids down the back of Bazza's sofa so it was never going to end well :)

    I don't feel too sorry for her. I suspect that she was only given the job because no one else wanted to deal with the Marmite storm that Cameron left behind, and she was never going to come out of it well.. but she has shown that she has been willing to listen to no one, bribe whoever she thinks will get what she wants, has no empathy for anyone... the only thing that bothers me about her leaving, is her replacement May well be even worse!
     
  13. True, I think. I don’t think we want Boris as a replacement.
     
  14. Yeah were is Cameron these days, not seen him sticking his 2c in for a while - what a cluster he left everyone back in 2016

  16. Not really kept up with the UK politics as elections have just ran in Australia - looks like all the options for PM are not-rights sadly.

    I cant see whoever comes in is going to resolve the farce the country is in

  17. It's a shame Screaming Lord Sutch isn't around now. I looked forward to a Goat on every street corner in the 70's

  20. Ha ha. You up for that @Ermintrude - how about @scrooge95 and @Merlin Cat in the cabinet too for the political equivalent of the Spice Girls?
    Oh god anyone but Boris, followed by Farage...
