Cracking Speech From J.r-M

[Khandro]

As someone, (W.C. actually) once said in another context, " it makes you feel proud to be an Englishman', don't you think?

[jim360]

He lost earlier this week, he should get over it.

[kvalidir]

Yeah Democracy at it's finest, no second chances :/

[Zacs-Master]

He should back down. He’s being oxymoronic.

[Theland]

I think he is very Churchillian.

[bednobs]

i cant access videos on this device. However JrM was gracious in defeat when he was interviewed for the news after TM won the confidence vote

[Zacs-Master]

I presume you mean the dog on the insurance ads, Theland.

[Theland]

"Oh no!"

[IJKLM]

1. be aware this is being shared by 50patriots.com of Nigeria

2. He rejects (7.45) all regulation on health and safety, suggesting that eliminating all regulation willimprove standards of living (as well as permitting unregulated and unsafe drugs, food and auto parts available for you to buy).

3.He offers no future plan, except full de-regulation. That would open our markets to businesses who will make cheaper goods, but will they be as safe. No way.

Less of the “oxy” Zacs :-)
It’s time sensible politicians in both main parties stood up to the zealots on each side - for all our sakes

[ichkeria]

It’s jingoism for shallow minds. Just because it’s delivered in a posh accent doesn’t make it any better

[Jackdaw33]

And still some people say he isn't fit to be PM!

[jim360]

That's because he's not, though.

[ichkeria]

Bednobs the interview I heard him give after the vote the other day was one of the most ungracious I’ve ever heard. First he said it was a “terrible result” for the winner - as most of the votes for her had come from ministers, under secretaries PPSs etc “in the pay” of the PM. Almost suggesting bribery or blackmail. Then be said he “accepted” the result but then said the PM should resign. So he came across as bitter and contradictory.
I admit that his plummy accent might have suggested a superficial degree of niceness :-)

[Zacs-Master]

Plenty of shallow minds on here, Ich. Yourself excluded, of course.

[Old_Geezer]

It was a good speech.

The only thing he's lost, along with everyone else that knew Mrs. May had blown her chance and needed to be replaced, is the hope she would be voted out. Unfortunately the party didn't have a backbone. He's still right about Brexit and should continue to try to convince those unable to work that out for themselves.

[Zacs-Master]

OG, firstly it wasn’t ‘the party’ who voted, it was induvidual MPs. Those individual MPs realised that a vote against May was a potential election loser. They’re all self centred at the end of the day.

[Old_Geezer]

"Almost suggesting bribery or blackmail."

Well that's as bad a propaganda statement as I've heard in a while. He clearly is simply suggesting that those whose jobs are down to the Prime Minister are as unlikely to vote for her replacement as turkeys are to vote for Xmas.

[Zacs-Master]

Plus, they don’t want the job themselves!

[ChillDoubt]

And still some people say he isn't fit to be PM!
—————
Unfortunately, he’s far too measured, intelligent, savvy and erudite, which is a sad reflection on our current ‘leaders’, both in government and opposition.

[jim360]

Or pompous, out-of-touch, arrogant and backward?

Take your pick which set of adjectives you'd prefer, but I don't see the attraction myself.
