TT, Boris Johnson got far more criticism than Corbyn. The out of touch media, not unlike this forum, got a bloody shock after the election result. That is because it was out of touch with reality because the silent majority kept their opinions to themselves until voting day.
This insistence on starting fights BB. And changing the fight halfway through.My 13 year old is going through that phase. I'm hoping he'll grow out of it. The Election result was Con 43.6Lab 33.0The average of the last 10 poll before the election was.Con 43.4Lab 32.5It wasn't a shock. It was a massive disappointment to some of us. It hurt. Because we wanted it not to be true.See me, when the Rovers are losing 0-3 with 5 mins left, I still roar on every tackle, every shot, every pass. I don't WANT the inevitable defeat to be true. And it hurts when we do lose.

BST. As a bloke who takes pride in his facts, you must be disappointed when you find out those facts are wrong. Sorry to disappoint you, but you're wrong on this one. You see, I can't claim victory for the election result, because the party I voted for didn't win either! So, I'm a loser just like you - Only a far more gracious one!

We should have PR and compulsory voting, allowing for a “ one of the above” option.
BST, you said I was a winner. I wasn't. That hasn't stopped you from accusing me of crowing about winning though, has it? What do you mean by properly engaging in substantive discussion? What do you call substantive? Is finding out real facts for oneself with real-life experiences not substantive? Or are your rules of only accepting quotes from lefty newspapers the only way of producing substantive discussion?You see, your analogy of a Rovers match is not a good one unless the opposition isn't allowed any goals to score in.
On the votes cast it would have been the Tories of course.. but if we had PR, more folks may have voted especially in constituencies where one party usually has a huge majority.. there would be much less tactical voting..
Boris and Carrie announce the birth of a baby boy............. another Johnson emerges..

Let’s not politicise the birth of a baby.?Under normal circumstances it would be right and proper for Johnson to take some leave and leave his deputies in charge..However in this time of national crisis it would be better perhaps to have some time off, but to take part in important meetings etc in between.
