The next PM.

Looking forward to BJ announcing his team.

I would especially love Jacob Rees-Mogg to be given the role of Chief Secretary to the Treasury (can't see him as Chancellor given other desperate for that position) - with him having to work with those he has so vigorously dismissed as Remainers - architects and enablers of Project Fear.

And I do wonder whose economic forecasts he will then tell us that he believes, and upon which the government will base it's economic and spending policies. Because he has continually dismissed Treasury and OBC forecasts - maybe BJs team will just go with the stuff coming out of the University of Cardiff - Minford being JR-Ms fave economist...

Though we hear very little from Minford these days - or have I missed all his seminars and current forecasting extolling the virtues of Brexit and a No Deal Brexit.

If you know anything about what Burns was writing about, then you'll know that he wrote these words to apply to every single one of us - not just the louse he was looking at or any single person or group of individuals...

And you'll also know that in 'A Man's a Man for A' That' Burns was very much aiming his barbed verse at a certain type of individual.

Likewise, great result for those seeking a united Ireland and an independent Scotland.

You know what Doon, your shock, and suprise plus enjoyment re Bojo becoming PM is not a suprise. Fortunately for me I am a floating voter. I have no alliance or allegiance to any party what so ever. I am entertained by those that support either the Tories, Labour or SNP and others. It more than amuses me that people actually think the sun shines out of the leaders of those partys Arses. They are so blinkered that they think Bojo, Corbyn ( God help me) Krankie etc is the answer to our prayers.
People like me, floating voters, people that are thick as pig *** ( like the gammon link Kelly 😘) Brexiteers or remainers. They want a genuine alternative, To the shower of *** politics we now have. Hardcore Tories think Bojo is the dream ticket. The same Tory clowns that thought the same of Cameron and May. Even worse, Labour think Corbyn and Abacus will be able to lead us to the promised land. People still want a viable alternative. You know what Doon, this is where Farage and the Brexit party come into play. The longer Bojo, Karankie and Corbyn spout there drivel. The more chance Farage and the Brexit party has of ripping the political mainstream shower of *** apart.
Mock to your hearts content, but whilst the Torys have been doing sod all and damaging this country, Krankie and Corbyn have won over zero floating voters.

No it doesn't. Do you see yourself as others see you? I think not. You could aim the same arrow at me but that would suggest Burns wasnt applying it to every one of us.

Did he aim it at a certain type, or did he use the certain type as an example of what has little worth? I read it as the only things of true worth are common decency and honesty. Many people apply too much value to the analysis of poetry. Its just a long winded, flowery way of describing something in an often coded way.

Think about it. Burns uses flowery verse to describe something simple. Isn't that ironic? Isn't he guilty of being what he decries? I'd like to think its a backhanded poke for fun.

As for using Burns as a moral compass... Burns' own moral compass around women was well skewed.

You are miles off the mark there Taffy.........support for Scottish independence is soaring.
You are making the common mistake of thinking that only SNP supporters support Scottish Independence.

Seeing as theres no tory voters in Scotland i would surmise they have gone to the SNP.
HMMM BOJO voters infiltrate the SNP. So we agree on something.
Plus who mentioned independence. 🤔
Doon serious question. Do you think that most people in England, Wales etc are actually bothered if
Scotland go it alone. I wish them well if they actually get the majority of people to vote for it.

I don't think many cared at the last vote, I certainly dont think many will do if they vote again and I absolutely think that most forum members, brassed off with Doons postings, would would welcome it 🤗

You may have a point there Doon, I was chatting to a large group at the local Bowls club on Wednesday and I think they were ALL in favour of it! 🤔
 
I find myself wondering what is was that meant Jeremy Hunt and such as Rory Stewart could not commit to taking UK out on 31st October - I know - Hunt and Stewart were honest and did not wish to deceive on this.

Why was Johnson able to commit to taking us out on 31st October - because he wasn’t and isn’t. And sure enough that commitment by Johnson was what got rid of Stewart and made sure he defeated Hunt. And he got what he always wanted - to be the big cheese in #10.

They all equally well knew the risks around 31st October - some were able to be honest about them - at least one other wasn’t.

Hunt voted with the government, what gives you the impression he didn't.
