I honestly believe this election is an existential threat to the nation as we know it. Thinking of taking Friday the13th December off.

I don't know, I just feel like by now there's enough of a "let's just get it done" mentality to win over enough average swing voters. Not that I've ever been one of them, so it's hard to put yourself in their place, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21930 Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I think deep down we’re all shitting it but it does appear that the PM has taken a massive gamble by putting his faith in Cummings. He didn’t even try to get his WA through. We have to win something eventually (in politics, not football) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be essential to effectively counter the "just get it done" narrative, which is BULL SHIT, I agree. You'd think most people this side of CT's IQ would grasp this, but..... I'm going to be up and down like the proverbial whore's drawers like. Could really do without this tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was frantic because the deal was going through. I'm consistent believe it or not - while the deal looked to be going through, off the back of Labour MPs, I thought the game was up. I couldn't see any way out. With an election it's all to play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely do not believe that anyone could have legitimately seen it coming that after a couple of small interruption to his deal, Johnson would inexplicably shelve the whole thing and go for an election instead.

It's what Cummings was saying a few weeks back, so it literally could not be more topical, shitface.
