We in Belgium don’t have a government for over a year since the last fell in 2018. They held elections in 2019 and were not even close to a new government yet everything else works fine.😀

[@ratscoot]

@Teresa Watts We have a defunct federal government but we also have 3 regional government. One for Brussels, a Flemish (Dutch speaking region) and a Walloon (French speaking region) parliament and government. The Flemish region voted center right to "extreme" right and the Waloons and Brussels voted socialist and communist. This trend is becomming more extreme every election so it becomes near impossible to form a federal government. But since we don't have a federal government they can 't make decisisions on a federal level or international level like EU or UN climate agreements. They also can 't spend3 extra money or go over budget.😁

[@ratscoot]

@Teresa Watts Belgium has actually 6 parliaments and governments. Next to the three regional and the federal government we have also so called "community's" with their own parliament, a community for the French, Dutch and German speaking citizens. We have 482 MP's for a population of a mere 11 milion, that's more as in Germany, France or the UK. Belgium is an artificial country created by the Uk and France in 1830, it should have long being dissolved just like the former Yugoslavia or Czecho-Slovakia.

@Teresa Watts Indeed, EU member state governments have limited power anyways because they have to follow EU legislation on key issues like budget or immigration.

@Captain Insano Shows no mercy As opposed to the Tories taking 3.5 years to "Get Brexshit Done" then voting against it time after time, Bozo the Clown even withdrew *his* *own* bill after it got voted through for a second reading!!! I'm sure getting Brexshit done doesn't mean years and years of re-negotiating all of the trade deals we'll lose and from a weakened standpoint... oh, wait. As for nationalisation, yeah, you're correct, totally. Why re-nationalise when the private sector is doing such a great job of fucking it all up, sucking the tax-payer dry through subsidies, bail-outs, etc. and the fact that when _they_ fuck up it's not just the pension they get, it's massive bonuses and golden handshakes and/or upwards-failing. Only an idiot would rather tax-payers' money went to the private sector earning dividends for shareholders and obscene profits for the companies while services diminish to the point of being a massive piss-take. Yeah, that's better than keeping the money in the nation's hands where it can actually benefit the nation itself. 50% of *ALL* government spending goes to the private sector, now _that's_ value for tax money! WAKE UP PEOPLE!

[@Bob_Dub]

@Captain Insano Shows no mercy ​ Repeatedly blocked by whom? The ERG? A whole list of other Tories including El Boriso la Clownio? Jacob "only dumb people die in fires" Rees-Smug? -Ugli- Priti "it's not the government's job to care for its citizens" Patel? Bozo didn't pull the bill because it wouldn't pass before any deadline, he pulled it because he expected Parliament to review it in just *TWO* days! In other words, he didn't want anyone looking too closely at it and he claimed two days was more than enough. Funny that, I mean, he has the report into Russian collusion sat on his desk, all "oven ready" & signed off by all that need to, but he says that needs weeks & weeks to check before publishing. Hmmmm. Labour bankrupting us? You mean with their fully costed manifesto? Not like the Tories who can't say where their funding will come from. So, trying to out-spend what ever other parties announce with money that's coming from tax *_cuts_* ? Maybe it was costed by the guy who did the figures on the 40 new hospitals or the 50k *NEW* nurses, or even the 20k Police on the street which includes 7k support staff, which still leaves us below the number we had in '10. Oooh, I know, it was the dude who went on TV and proclaimed that the recent flood victims would all receive £5000 but it actually is just £500? Easy mistake when you're a millionaire, I guess. The dude who "spaffed" £45m on the bridge that never was, I'm sure his mates being the ones who benefited from those funds is purely coincidental. I could go on, the list of how the Tories fucked us all over while spewing lies is endless, but hey, at least I'm not reading in the Mail that _they're_ commies, so that's okay. The biggest, odds on favourite thing to well and truly bankrupt the country is, after all, Brexshit! You're so -un- well informed I thought you would know all about government expenditure and not need to have it explained to you. Business paying low wages then expecting the government to subsidise their staff with housing benefit, income support, etc., the subsidies the rail companies get for running ever shittier services, privatisation really improved that one, eh? The continuing privatisation of the NHS, the prisons system, the... well, you get the idea. I'd hazard a guess that you're a Yank but I get the feeling you've just been drinking their Kool-Aid as you, like them, seem to equate, quite wrongly, Socialism with Communism. Again, that's something I'd expect someone as wisened as yourself to be well aware of. If you're paying tax for something, in this case, broadband, then it isn't free, is it? But at least the Richard "I'm so fucking rich I'm off to live in space" Branson and the likes won't be making multiple fortunes off the backs of us. If you think you have a choice of broadband suppliers at the minute then you're deluded; there's basically the copper network and the fibre-to-the-cab network, if you're not with Virgin Media then you're on the (mostly crappy, thanks to Thatcher) copper network and it doesn't matter who you pay YOU'RE STILL ON THE SAME CONNECTION! Real choice there, and by choice, I mean you do get to pick which company you'd like to screw you over. _"Seizing school assets and creating public schools out of them"_ - wut. o_O Yeah, 'cos Labour are all for public schools... in your universe, maybe. Seriously, *WAKE* the feck up, before it's too bloody late!

@Captain Insano Shows no mercy _"You know what I meant."_ I'm not psychic so no, I can only know what you _say._ You're still not being clear on what you mean, do you take umbrage because of the planned removal of the charity status public schools have always had? They're _not_ a charity and never will be, they're businesses, as plain as the lies from a Tory's mouth. Virgin or some other ISP on the copper network, no, it's often not a choice, there are many areas, even here in Manchester where the Virgin network _still_ isn't laid and the *only* option is on BT's network. And you know what, that generally seems to be the worst capable part of the loop, guess why. Well, with no VM to compete with there's a monopoly, no matter the ISP if they all use the same network. Look at the business model of US providers and see how they carve up areas between them, creating monopolies and and charge high prices for poorly performing networks. Your NHS argument is simply nonsense and I think, deep down, you know it. If Corbyn is being held liable for alleged years of anti-Semitism in "his" _current_ party (I dislike Tory Blair for so many of his policies, especially with the benefit of hindsight, but he was the lesser of two evils in '96) then surely Bozo should be held to the same standards and be just as liable for _his_ current party? Just look at the Cabinet he'd assembled, all right-wing and *all* with histories of voting against the public's interests, particularly when it comes to the NHS. All of the moderates, "one nation", middle of the road, progressive Tories expelled, and "they" call Corbyn Stalin?! How many atrocious things has Bozo tried to delete from history under the "unelected, undemocratic" Cummins tutelage? Yeah, Corbyn's the Pinko, right? The IFS, isn't this the same bunch Michael "I won't stab you in the back the moment it's turned" Gove referred to when he declared that _"I think we've all had enough of experts"_ ? The very same ones that have claimed, time & time again, that Brexshit will be (even more of) an unmitigated disaster for our economy? As for the 1% and tax, you're just wrong. They may well contribute 28% of all INCOME tax but not, as you state, *ALL* tax revenue. And where do you think they earn (earn, lol) all of the money that means they are in the 1% to start with? Yeah, here, us. You think they will pack up and leave because that nasty man wants them to pay an extra £50k per £1m or £50m per £1B "earned" towards the society that they produce their incomes from? Feck knows where you get your figure of "4-1%" from, or even wtf it means. As you appear to be so hung up on "unfair" taxes, what do you feel about VAT? To quote James O'Brien: _"VAT is a horribly punitive tax. A single mother who is existing on Universal Credit pays the same percentage of VAT as a billionaire on everything. And that's rank."_ _Four day week, blah, blah, blah._ Yeah, remember when we all had to work seven says a week and that upstart said we should at least get Sundays off and aaaaaall of the employers were all like "dudes, oh noes, wtf, wezz'll all goez bankrupt payin' ya'll to have a day off!!11!!!1!!eleventyone!"*_artistic license_ Guess what, commerce didn't collapse and workers' lives improved. Then came that other bloody upstart a bit later on with his smart ideas that we should all get Saturdays off, too. And the same voices were raised condemning the new upstart as a fantasist who'll bankrupt the country, oh my! And guess what, again, the kingdom didn't go bust, commerce didn't collapse and workers' lives improved.. Now, here comes along _another_ gobshite upstart and guess what... But there's good news for all of the plumbers that you know with their own businesses because -Our Glorious Leader- er, our Prime Minister has announced where he stands in this regard when he proudly proclaimed: *"FUCK BUSINESS!"* It's pathetic to think it's a _bad_ idea.

All that venom and for what? I said you’re weaselling? I stand by that statement. My god if you went off the rails just because of that then good job I didn’t say anything harsher, there might have been a killing spree! In all seriousness the arrogance on display is something to behold. “It’s only advisory” and “but you cheated!”... fucking pathetic, man. We’ve had nothing but scaremongering, insults, threats, and an undermining of our democracy by remainers for the past three years, yet you complain about playing a bit loose with the truth?! Get over yourself, both sides did. Let me break this down for you: The referendum was politically binding because EVERY PARTY said they’d honour the result. The referendum was a form of direct democracy; the decision was removed from parliament by law and given to the voting public to decide on the matter of our relationship with the European Union. As I said it is a politically binding result and a direct mandate by the majority to enact the decision. Any attempt to undo or undermine that decision is immoral, undemocratic and a failure to uphold their responsibilities and obligations to the Voters. The EU elections was a landslide for the Brexit Party, and now Boris won a landslide on the sole election promise to deliver our withdrawal from the EU. There is a clear mandate for this now... how many times must you people be told before you get the message? For millions on both sides of this debate (I voted remain btw) the result was and still is binding, there were clear promises made at the time, written in both major party manifestos to honour it. Sorry but remain lost, leave won, that’s it. Finished, end of story. It is Christmas Day and I don’t want to finish with animosity, even if I started this with some. So I sincerely wish you and your family a happy Christmas.

[@Rikky999]

trident3b - you can’t argue because I am right, it’s why you reverted straight to patronising insults rather than actually arguing what is essentially an argument you cannot win. Whether or not you believe the referendum was only “advisory” is irrelevant, but let’s face it if the result was reversed you wouldn’t be arguing that it was “only advisory” in the face of a backlash would you? As I’ve already stated it was said to be honoured, it was written in the party manifestos that it will be honoured, and we just had an election with one party solely dedicating to honouring the referendum. That is irrefutable and well documented. IF the party’s and those running the campaign said explicitly that it’s only advisory then you’d have a leg to stand on, BUT they explicitly said the opposite and wrote it into their party manifestos. Sorry! What I said is exactly what it is. What is interesting is that you haven’t even bothered to try and prove me wrong; simply saying I’m wrong without proving yourself right is utterly meaningless. Instead all I had was insults, patronisation and spite. Some people are just sore losers I guess, just like the spineless cowards who have tried for three years to undermine the most important democratic vote in the history of the country. Oh? And what type is that then? You don’t even know me 😂. I’m mean seriously if you don’t live here then you have no right to say anything on the matter do you? I’d sure would like to borrow that magical crystal ball you have since you - and only you - can possibly see what is coming! What an arrogant twat you are! The UK will be perfectly fine and dandy thank you very much. It will be better off outside a draconian, isolationist protective bloc that lurches from recession to recession, that leaves its member states desolated to fill Germany’s coffers. In short the EU is pretty much screwed either way. Britain, however can forge its own path, free from EU red tape and overbearing bureaucracy. That’s what counts ultimately. Also I’d suggest you live by that quote yourself before quoting to me or anyone else.

[@lukasedwards3081]

@Emil Mekhtiev Some good and interesting points. The tories have been spending massively even before covid, but theres already talks about reducing the furlough scheme and I wouldnt be suprised if more follows. Before covid the tories had spent more than labour had planned, potentially positive; however as they are keen on saying it's where it goes. We havent seen any improvements in living standards and no real news about good things to come, granted it is early days but there still hasnt been any change. Brexit say-what-you-will will cause major economic setbacks, and the tory plan on a fairly hard brexit will be disasterous to both the economy and the union, not to mention the environemental, workers rights and animal rights legislation that will be lost. Blair (though widely critisiced by many on the left and myself) achieved an economic growth of 2.8%, whilst tories since 2010 have a mean of 1.87%, and a good amount of that is from the recovery from the 2008 economic crash. All in all whilst you do make some interesting and valid points I would have to respectfully disagree.

[@boomerrob9223]

Totally agree. I dumped telly about 17 yrs ago. It's like a slow motion revelation. Clarkson? Arse! Socialism bad, he says. Public roads. Socialism. Public water supply. Socialism. Free education; socialism. NHS; socialism.... yes. Even the roads he drives on. Still an arse!

[@MrSamoDude]

@@boomerrob9223 Roads are a good example, compare the quality of 'social' roads to the private toll roads such as the M6 section, there's no comparison, public roads are full of pot holes, poorly constructed and hardly ever flat these days. Socialism provides at a base level, but without competition there's little drive for improvement and you're stuck with what you get.

[@jochenstacker7448]

@@MrSamoDude but what if every road was privately funded and operated? Would you pay for that? And the other question, what about people who'd be put off the road because they couldn't afford to drive anymore? They'd have to use public transport, oh no, that sounds very socialist to me, can't be having that. Also, private operators are purely profit driven. If your village is too small and there's not enough money in it, no road for you. So yes, on the one side you'd have a few gold-plated roads, actually, you wouldn't. Doesn't Britain have privatised railways? Do you have affordable luxury trains that run on time? Palaces on wheels where lackeys hand you cocktails whilst you recline on comfy sofas? So, take the way your trains run and transfer that to the road. You do need public infrastructure, privatising everything doesn't work either.

[@MrSamoDude]

@@jochenstacker7448 Trains are privatised in the UK but not the railway infrastructure. Though for the standard commuter there's no competition, it's train A on track A or no train at all! I don't think trains should be privatised unless there's multiple companies running on the same track to generate competition. Roads are still paid for whether the money comes from private or public funds, technically it would be no different to water, electricity, phone lines, etc.

Folk are selectively blind when shouting the virtues of capitalism, and like him select the worst examples of socialism whilst ignoring corruption and bad government and serious interference in a countries economy by the USA. He echoes the propaganda of divide and rule which has resulted in Britain supporting a hellish self centred incompetent government because it somehow represents capitalism v communism.

That's it ! I too lived through the 70s visiting communist countries which let's be honest a lot of socialist voters or even politicians didn't or haven't done .Directly I crossed into east Berlin from checkpoint Charlie I saw the reality of socialism/communism : No neon lights , no shops with expensive goods , no people walking around , just Street lights and bombed out buildings from the war and deadly quite unlike west Berlin which I'd just crossed from ...you could feel the oppression immediately. The accomodation was at the Adler which was frequented by Nazis a few decades prior to my visit and that was probably the last times it was cleaned , lol . The people had a stress free life compared to us in some ways as they had a reliable transport system and their rent was 3% of their income . .But if you wanted to land a job or create a business with a huge salary, a big car, a nice house - FORGET IT !!! Unless you were a top commissar with the party . And this was fun city compared to North Korea which still exists today. The students of that time that are now creating generation snowflakes should have taken the time to visit countries like that instead of just getting drunk and sleeping with women of I'll repute and and they would know that socialist ideas are just a con like religion.

@@diesel92kj1 It's not, it is a derogatory term used for a certain group of white people who get a bit wound up about things that they don't understand as much about as they think they do. And it's mostly used by white people. Calling the term racist shows that you don't really understand what the term racist means. It would probably be more accurate to call it ageist. According to wikipedia, you don't even have to be white to be a gammon. Either way, calling it racist makes you look a little bit like you exist only in a tiny little bubble of your own comfort.

[@weswheel4834]

And while we're on the subject, is the term 'snowflake' racist? After all, snowflakes are white and fragile, and it is used as an insult, and I suspect that most of the people that it's directed at are white. So, is it racist? No, of course it isn't, but why do people seldom claim it to be racist whereas some people like to claim that 'gammon' is racist? Let me suggest the reason is that gammon is directed at people on the political right, whereas snowflake isn't. Bunch of right-wing snowflakes.
