  1. has anyone heard about the man who fell in a well? i guess he couldn't see that well
  2. i don't know but the fact it's the FA investigation suggests it might be the former.
  3. Why not? All I asked was for him to walk through the door and enter the room really naturally, as if he has been walking and talking at the same time all his life, and engage with the viewer by talking down the lens in a relaxed, conversational style. A simple brief, perfectly executed.
  4. anyone remember this classic? Gullis makes this bloke look good
  5. that might just be the most middle class thing i have ever said. and the competition is stiff
  6. best gelato i've ever had was in san gimignano
  7. i don't think there's anything to be nervous about. she's really just the face of the takeover. she's done a decent job as chairman but the real power/wealth lies elsewhere.
  8. i've been to 13, mostly the more obvious ones
  9. exactly and this is why the polls point to Tory annihilation. You can’t keep lying to the public and get away with it when they’re getting hit in the pocket
  10. that's why they're so fucked. truss tanked the economy with the ridiculous mini budget and increased everyone's mortgage repayments. people aren't going to forget it and they can't get away with blaming ukraine or covid this time
  11. corbyn was as bad as johnson. i blame them both for where we ended up. and cameron, obviously.
  12. yeah, Johnson knows a lot of socially conservative Labour voting brexiters lent their vote. The Tories are not winning these voters back anytime soon.
  13. They voted to “get Brexit done”. Johnson got in mostly because people were fed up with talking about Brexit and he was promising to get it sorted and end all the division while levelling up. He also won because Corbyn was the alternative. He wasn’t offering anything on Brexit and doesn’t sing the national anthem.
  14. Also people didn’t really know what they voting for on Brexit. If Cameron had negotiated an emergency break on immigration with the EU we probably would have got away with it. That’s what it was ultimately about, really. It should never have gone to referendum, let alone a binary in/out one. The Brexit vote showed the public wants more control on immigration (another reason the Tories are fucked). There’s nothing wrong with that and if doesn’t mean they would elect a far right government. I think the majority are too sensible/boring
  15. there was a nationalist/racist/hard right support for Brexit, of course. A lot of people don’t like how immigration has changed communities. For a lot of people it was a protest vote against the establishment. For some it was patriotism, nostalgia, a longing for something from the past, which was somehow better than the present. I think the UK is a quite conservative country, and by that I mean conservative in the traditional sense of preserving values/way of life etc, which is why the Brexit vote was so remarkable, because it upended everything in a way most people weren’t prepared for. People were lied to and duped, unfortunately. But we’re much more likely to vote for centrists to govern the country than parties on either extreme of the political spectrum - particularly after the experience of the past few years. Voters are yearning for a return to boring normality. Starmer knows this.
  16. disagree. the majority want boring/sensible centrism and improving living standards
