"Johnson says 'nothing and no one' will stop him carrying on as PM and delivering for British people" Erm. That's a dictatorship, isn't it? Source: The Guardian but the quote is from him, I believe.
Just seen the clip.
He didn't even say it. So I was as fooled by you as the twisting of the quote.

Hansard has the quote as "Absolutely nothing and no-one, least of all her, is going to stop us with getting on and delivering for the British people."

This idiot and his cabinet have quite blatantly and obviously NOT been delivering for the British people.
You would also have to be a complete idiot (or a Tory, although in my thinking, there is quite a crossover of sets there) to think that suddenly, after all these years, they are suddenly going to start.
My guess is lots more soundbites, to try to cover up serious policy failings.
Pavlovian salivating from right wingers over...
Deporting Asylum Seekers and immigrants
Tax "Cuts"
Making the poor poorer
Making the rich richer.
The Tory manifesto at a glance. Bet you're proud to vote for them.

Selling off more public housing when folk can’t afford to put food on the table or if they’re lucky enough fill up their car, how does that work? Tory bastards.

Except it isn't even public housing they are proposing to sell it's social housing owned by housing associations which are private companies. So now having sold off all the nations assets they're resorting to forcing the sale of things they don't actually own....

Watch out next for either private landlords being able to buy SH to rent out, or SH renters flipping their newly-bought houses to landlords...

Talking about enabling people on benefits to get mortgages.
Just not sure how that will work.
I see it as delivering for British people though, after all the people who run mortgage companies who will benefit from, well benefit mortgages are often British are they not?
Eton debating sly tactic again, don't say which British people.
What a bunch of c@nts

Aye, sorry, wrongly described. A huge number of these homes will end up in the hands of buy to let landlords in the not to distant future. With not many being built to replace them, adding to the housing crisis.

^^ this is what has happened the vast swathes of Thatchers sell off.
I'm guessing private landlords are British people to right ?

Another well thought out policy from our illustrious leaders..
The UK recently launched a “High Potential Individual” (HPI) visa aimed at attracting the “brightest and best” from around the world to its soggy shores. If you qualify under the scheme you are welcomed into the country for at least two years, even if you don’t have a job offer.
So who counts as the brightest and best? According to the British government, an HPI is someone who has graduated from a top-50 ranked university outside of the UK in the past five years. Twenty-four of the universities listed are in North America, and include institutions like Yale, Harvard and MIT. None of the eligible universities are in Africa, India or Latin America. It seems there are officially no bright people in any of those places, then!
