Piss poor adult is what you are, meaning grown up but holding no apparent wisdom for your age. We vote and the result stands: because it has to. However for you a permanent and perpetual tantrum because you lost. Not a good look is it. Do yourself a favour and look more closely at the reasons why you lost and when you've finished that look at the reasons why on the whole people don't like politicians.<br /><br />SteveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-43414787492731182502020-01-28T13:43:08.122+00:002020-01-28T13:43:08.122+00:00We will and when we pass you with your begging bow...We will and when we pass you with your begging bowl we'll be VERY careful not to put any 50ps in it.Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-58405512541195116682020-01-28T13:31:35.104+00:002020-01-28T13:31:35.104+00:00Whatever, enjoy waving your sparklers, and pulling...Whatever, enjoy waving your sparklers, and pulling those imaginary toilet chains with alternate arms on Friday, guys!JPMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-71366780928779915582020-01-28T11:20:22.195+00:002020-01-28T11:20:22.195+00:00JPM 08:09 "Turkey, like the UK, is now a terr...JPM 08:09 <i>"Turkey, like the UK, is now a terribly divided nation.</i><br /><br />Turkey is divided, much in the way that Iran is.

It undermines your position - unless of course you crave attention, any attention. Extending the imaginary franchise to babes in arms and others not entitled to vote means nothing.

Certainly not militarily as they haven't done anything outside of responding to outside aggression (in the form of 'defensive' missile emplacements put on their borders etc).<br /><br />As a political threat the Russians are helped (encouraged) by the craven stupidity/idiocy of EU policies anyway but, militarily, the Russians have only ever been used to progress MIC spending - note the excuses for developing an EU Army.<br /><br />NATO has only ever been a cover for US expansionism.<br /><br />2% of GDP is (approx) £60bn - We're aghast at the waste of £52bn (lol) on a one-off HS2 but seem resigned to spending <b>more</b> on a repeatedly annual basis for what? Invading Syria? Libya?

They achieved that by convincing May that a GE was the way forward.<br /><br />Pure speculation on my behalf though.Dave_Gnoreply@blogger.com
