[@freyamccullough8326]

Yes, David woke up one morning and thought "I think I'll bail today but first I must split the country." He followed through on a campaign promise (not one I supported) to hold a referendum on remaining in the EU and campaigned heavily to remain. The country voted otherwise and he was simply too polarizing a figure to remain Prime Minister. When the Head of Government's vision does not align with the country that obviously, it's impossible to remain.

+Frederick Maskell Thatcher destroyed Britain. She brought unemployment from 1m to 3 million. She didn't replace build a new council house for every 'right to buy' schemed house bought, leading to our housing crisis today. She sold our nationalized industries to private firms that care only about maximizing profits instead of caring about public service. She might have done well in the eyes of those who think GDP growth is the holy mantra of success, but she obliterated our society and took a dump on people's well being.

[@KennyBare]

Just to give her the benefit of the doubt, she spoke in very general terms. Women do "earn" less than men. They just don't have lower wages. There's an earnings gap but not a wage gap. She also brought up the plight of white working class boys which is refreshing. Seems that most politicians have forgotten about us.

[@thatperson1663]

+Cardinal Ximenez There is nothing racist about wanting to control immigration. The reason that anti-immigration views are so common in the UK now is because of lefties that label people as 'racist' and 'islamaphobic' because they have opinions different to them. People are not allowed to speak out against immigration, therefore they feel threatened by it. Stop calling everybody racist and look at the facts about mass immigration and controlled immigration and then make a comprehensible argument supporting your views. Labels will get you nowhere.
