I actually wouldn't have been sad if you had won. Plus my uncle was a Kiwi. My cousin was saying that last time I was in the motherland. They all love and adore cricket so much that, for the sporting aspect, besides Pakistan, they all seem to support a second team and his was New Zealand. 16 minutes ago, DieselDaisy said: Kiwis are my second favourite (test status) team.

Someone told me that he was born in New Zealand, came here when he was 12 but yes, I get what you're getting at Thats kinda why I like Stokes, knowing nothing about cricket, from our conversations about his street fighting antics and gaffes like this. He became my favourite cricketer after dropping those lads outside that club Edited July 18, 2019 by Len Cnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLegend Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Iran just seized a UK oil tanker. Likely in retaliation for us taking one theirs last week. So we've got pm Boris, a recession and a war with Iran to look forward to this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtariLegend Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Just a reminder for anyone with a short memory and who doesn't pay attention to how people vote, Jo Swindon voted for almost everything bad thing the Torries did over the past decade. Backing a second referendum doesn't simply erase the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Cnut Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Fuck Bojo. Looks like a fuckin' dribbler. Just another thick populist twat getting the masses on side with a bunch of vague unrealistic ill-defined nonsense that everyone with half a braincell goin' spare knows he can't possibly pull off, just a fuckin' B Tec Trump with less clout. The only way in which he equals Trump is in the talking absolute fuckin' bollocks stakes. Fear and loathing reigns. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is much in what you say. This is basically the way I look at politics, like a sort of madcap spoof of itself. There are those however that look at our particular brand of apathetic piss-taking indolence as part of what the problem is with society today and part of what allows the Bojos and Trumps of the world to thrive and run amok.

DieselDaisy Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) It is curious but there are many, on the left, opposing Boris Johnson - I am not a fan of the man incidentally - who do not seem to possess a base comprehension of the British constitution by which, the party leader capable of commanding a majority in the Commons becomes Prime Minister and forms a government. Boris's election was an internal Conservative affair to decide party leader. His ministry will be on account of forming a majority in accordance with the Commons as arranged according to the 2017 General Election. But then these same people cannot comprehend ''once in a generation'' referenda either, nor a 17.4 million (51.89%) mandate. PS Further on this, 13 of the last 25 prime ministers first took office without a general election, including 3 of the last 4. PPS This includes the greatest ministry of all, Churchill's war time coalition government, 1940-45.

We can have unelected interim PMs here. I cant recall if its legislation or merely tradition that has the Govt call an election in a timely manner when that happens. Thats the only way we've ever seen a female PM, in fact. And her first order of business was to call an election that she lost. Which before someone else says it, I will: bad things are always bad anywhere. Edited July 23, 2019 by soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they are not ''interims'' as you follow the Westminster system by which you elect your MPs to a House of Commons, not specifically a head of government, and in that Commons the leader commanding a majority becomes PM. Inter party elections are a perfectly valid way in deciding a prime minister in the Westminster System. PS Unless of course they were literally interims for whatever reason, e.g., if the Prime Minister dies in office and somebody has to take over before the party decides a new leader.
