Well, ain’t Britain turned into a bit of a laugh with all that Brexit business, thanks to those Tory folks waving their blue and red flags?
Mind you, the left’s been having a proper giggle at Tory Britain for ages. We’ve had some cracking satire, a bit of ribbing, and even some days of serious thinking. But those right-wing Tories, bless ’em, seem to have a real talent for only finding humor in other people’s misery. Can’t say I’m chuffed with their excuses, though.
Right now, they’re the ones to blame, plain and simple. They’re the reason most of us are feeling the pinch in our wallets. Remember what they promised? Did you, the 17 million plus, actually get what you voted for? Do you even remember voting?
Seventeen million plus of us Brits, mainly the English lot, decided to skip doing a bit of research on that Brexit vote. Ended up believing the fibs spun by those journo types doing Farage’s bidding. It’s like a cult, that Brexit thing, as if just having Brexit is enough for them 17 plus lot.
And what’s the deal with Cleverly and his China coziness? Is that really showing off British values? Maybe he ought to give a listen to the folks who voted, and not just Sunak’s constituency. I’d wager you’re more likely not to live up in Richmond, North Yorkshire, eh?
Is this supposed to be a fair and democratic outcome?
If us Brits are after politics with a bit of flair, maybe we fancy a president more than a prime minister!
And the monarchy, well, it’s alright, just needs to tone down the pomp and cost a tad less. They don’t have much clout beyond setting a decent example, really. The royal family could do with being better role models, maybe drop a bit of that entitlement, racism, and sexual abuse.
BBC, now there’s a topic! Can’t seem to find two folks in Britain who agree on whether the Beeb’s biased. Lefties think it’s leaning right, while righties reckon the left’s pulling the strings. Supposed to be for all of us who fork out for that license.
So why doesn’t the BBC put up a referendum about selling off their public assets to the private lot? There’ll be a connection to a powerful figure slipping a few quid to the government.
Then there’s the other side of the argument – could turn the BBC into something like Channel 4, owned by the public but not funded by our taxes. They’d have ads, but that’s the deal. Channel 4 came in under a tory government, btw.
And as for advertising, don’t even get me started…
Following note made on 18 September 2023:
I must mention that given what’s been happening lately, the big bosses in the broadcasting and print media industries should be thoroughly looked into by the law until it’s crystal clear what’s going on.
