I can't see Andy Capp calling an election and he will probably hang in there till the official election date .The only way he can bring about change is by taking on the big boys ,banks,corps ,certain unmentionable lobbies etc.He needs to serious curtail privatisation of the NHS and bring public utilities back into public ownership ,otherwise nothing will change...will he doit...will he poop!
Maybe but that gives the electorate 3 years to watch him get nowhere with our problems. Welfare and illegal immigration need tough decision being taken upsetting many and disappointing others but the country cannot go on spending more than it has. If you go to bankruptcy court the court will insist that spending is reduced to less than income or you go bankrupt. The same applies to a country.

So Healy, who resigned over Defence spending (or lack thereof) and is now in charge of the purse strings as Chancellor has decided Defence spending of 3% will have to wait until 2030, i.e. after the next election!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Personally I'm sick and tired of over sensationalised media smear campaigns. Not just Farage, (although he seems to be front and centre at the moment - I wonder why? ;) ).

Politicians. Police. Celebrities. Judges. Scientists. Billionaires. Entrepreneurs. etc etc.

It's all a load of shite designed to destabilise and drive division. And then society and the media wonder why there's so much online hate, anti-establishment terrorist groups, antivax campaigns, defund-the-police movements, and maniacs running around bludgeoning politicians.
