    That's true, they had the chance to reverse the mistakes but didn't.

    I still can't believe we ended up with that buffoon Boris in charge either.

    I always thought Boris was an idiot, and he proved it in the end..

    Ed Davey seems to think by acting the fool he can become him, but he's forgetting it was Brexit that got Boris passed the post, not his comedy.

      The closest that Davey has come to looking almost normal is when he was talking about care and how he himself cared for his parents. If politicians were like that - that level, calm and actually heartfelt honesty, we'd maybe get somewhere. Sadly, they are all about the soundbite and publicity...

        Mental health :loll:Waaah life's hard, waaah, nobody understands me, waaah. :heehee:

        Life has always been hard get over it.

        The left has pushed so many rights of entitlementment, the next generation don't know their arse from their elbow. They've never had to be resilient, bored or invisible. They'll take validation wherever they can get it, negatively or positively. Any label will do as long as it an excuse to be a victim or a virtue signal for likes :heehee:

        Please like my post, or my mental elf will be sad :biggrin:

          The mental heath epidemic has only started since covid, not saying nobody had mental health problems before but the young seen to be turning it into some kind of new fashion.

            People voted for Johnson as London mayor and learnt the error of their ways. I suspect few of them wanted him as prime minister but people outside London believed the sh+te as the Londoners once had and voted him in.

              Yep and now you have Khan.
              Why do you need a mayor?
              Just another level of government, we have a mayor where I live and I don't have a clue who he or she is, and I think they just open the local fete or turn on the Christmas lights.:biggrin:

                  I used to know Sadiq Khan before he was an MP and before he was Mayor. He was just a very pleasant, reasonable, human rights lawyer. I can’t imagine that he has changed from the man I knew into a racist dictator, but there you go.

                      It is no surprise the mental health of young people is poor. Insecure work contracts, no chance of renting a home, never mind buying. What's the point bothering? It is entirely logical and sensible to just stop trying.

                        I have disagreed with a few things he's done but he seems decent enough - especially compared to Johnson

                          It is extremely difficult to motivate younger staff. Work hard, climb up the ladder but there's bugger all at the top.
