Then he must stop whining and whingeing about Brexit and get on with it, contribute to making Britain great again.
Else move to Poland, Scotland or Ukraine.

Is Britain (well, actually the UK) not a democracy where people are free to voice contrary opinions?

Very true, one would think so.......

Take the Brexit vote for example, it was almost 4 years ago. Yet only recently we got what we want.

2016 EU referendum (well not an election but still) and 2019 UK election (he predicted a hung parliament, kept posting stuff that made it as if Boris wasn't very popular).

@Dave , you predicted a hung parliament?

As for him posting stuff that matches his opinion, and show Boris being a twat....that's what we all post....what closely match our opinion.

I actually don't remember you posting much that actually diverges from your opinion much, unless it's to comment on how ridiculous it is

Why would I post stuff contrary to my opinion? There is already a vociferous anti-Boris crew of Dave/Buka/Orbital/Spizz doing that for us.

No, they generally post stuff from Twitter. Also I read much more stuff than what I post in this thread, I just post from Twitter because it is convenient to do so.

(PS: UK Twitter is very anti-Boris so not sure they are making up their minds independently ;))

You're making my point, actually. So why should Dave be posting things that show Boris is popular?

UK Twitter is normally full of the Unhappy McPanji types, can be very Toxic.

Dave was providing people who don't follow UK politics with an incorrect perception of the reality 'on the ground'. Clearly Boris was more popular than Corbyn as demonstrated by the election result. Dave even posted a clip when Boris was hounded by some 'doctors' (who were probably Labour activist plants) at a hospital he visited and then somehow interpreted that as 'general unpopularity'.

Hey @buka001 here is the new immigration system: https://businesstech.co.za/news/lif...ks-new-skills-visa-heres-how-youll-be-scored/

From some responses in that thread, it looks like it doesn't look too bad while attracting the right kind of people, although I would have liked the salary cap to have been at 30 000 quid rather than the revised 25 000 pounds.

And before you inevitably go on about the NHS:

Look I have no doubt several medium to high skills people will come under that scheme. Especially from SA. I know several people in the construction industry from SA who are spinning their wheels in anticipation for this.

The issue is the low skill workers.

From the BBC, I don't think Priti has thought this through.

Are economically inactive people the answer to staff shortages?

Priti Patel says businesses should train the 8.5 million economically inactive people. But only two million of them want a job.

The reality on the ground anywhere is that most people are idiots.

The election proved that Corbyn, was far more unpopular than Boris. And he rightly got his balls squashed by that fence he was sitting on. And not that everyone loves Boris. We all knew that well before the election.

Again, explain why Dave would post articles on why Boris is popular....when he's part of this anti Boris group.
