So.....................

We ain't gonna talk about Judy (sorry Brexit), I've had more important things to think about, but Judy probably means nothing to the majority of people reading this.

Why has it gone so quiet on here, has nothing happened recently?

I could list quite a few things, does no-one care?

The country's heading for choppy waters for sure, but one of my main concerns is, the imbeciles in power are arguing amongst themselves re: Brexit.

Yet more bad stuff keeps happening, has everyone lost their will for change?

Brexit won't happen - the Tories are making a total fudge of the whole exercise, lots of information about exactly what it will mean is finally starting to permeate past the firewall of the MSM, and public opinion is shifting; the Lords will kick it down the road for long enough that the fatally wounded Mrs May won't see it through, and we'll end up with a referendum on the actual deal - which will be rejected. Then we'll spend the next few years trying to repair our damaged reputation on the world stage, with JC as the PM - which he kind of is already, in all but name.

In the pub early this morning.

Apart from the Lib Dems and they dont really count in the grand scheme of things, the 2 main political parties are split within themselves and May, in particular, especially with here lack of majority, cant risk upsetting any of her party, leaving us all in limbo.
The EU27 are more than happy to play a long, waiting game, as they stand to lose significant income if/when we are out and the will just keep stonewalling the UK until it's too late to agree a deal.
The whole issue is damaging the economy (as it will within the EU) but, hey ho, that's politics

Belittling someone on an Internet forum because you don’t agree with their view is the hallmark of a bully

I appreciate the sentiment, but I don't see a vacuous 1 line response as bullying; quite the opposite - it strikes me as the standard response of someone who doesn't have their own opinion, but just disagrees with mine. I'm indifferent to it.

I have an opinion, you’re just closed minded to even bother posting it. I’m glad you’re indifferent, I am far from a bully, but King James is a troll of the worst kind. If you genuinely believe Corbyn is “prime minister” in all but name then fair enough, I think he’s a doddering old hippy who missed the 70’s. One thing we can agree on, they’re all pretty useless, regardless of party affiliation.

Saying 'we can agree' on it doesn't make your opinion any more valid, nor do ad hominem insults ('doddering old hippy'). In fact, these kind of juvenile attack lines are no longer effective, and even less so after they were all used up in the election campaign. Most people are starting to see Corbyn as he is, an old-school but compassionate Bennite leftist, who refuses to get down and dirty even when his opponents lamentably abuse him. If you want to halt the decline of your beloved Tory party, you better start countering Corbyn and Labour with proper facts and proper respectful arguments. Right now you're losing the war of ideology quite badly.

Agreed, he’s 50 years out of date, post all the graphs you want, simple fact is Labour, without fail, screw the country over whenever they get any semblance of power. Life isn’t fair, we’re not all equal, human beings are the only species where some believe that survival of the fittest should be disregarded.
