Scotland starts renewed case for independence

1. A PM who lies about attending a party, and runs with the lie until he is forced to admit it by a report and photographic evidence.

2. A PM who lied to the Queen.

3. Food poverty on the up [1]

5. £350m a week for NHS post Brexit, and yet that was a blatant lie. NHS now struggling with many staff quitting post covid and as a result of increased work load due to brexit.

The list goes on.

All those. Plus, threatening peace and stability in Northern Ireland, first by pursuing a hard Brexit at all costs, and now by tearing up the Northern Ireland protocol.

And all of these points so the Prime Idiots can remain in power. Brexit: promised by Cameron because he was scared of nationalist UKIP's rise. The years of Tory austerity and blaming foreigners for the lack of jobs didn't help him win the vote (he preferred Remain).

And now the middle finger to the NI protocol, which is just the current Prime Idiot's move to gather support from the "Fuck the EU!" members of his party so he can again, remain in power, free to booze, fuck around, and taking donations for apartment renovations...

Yes, it is entirely correct that the IRA determine the UK's custom borders. Completely foolish to think otherwise.

This is a nonsense comment, but you probably know that. Northern Ireland was opposed to Brexit, and the Northern Ireland Protocol is supported by a majority of representatives in Northern Ireland. Nothing to do with the IRA.

Unionists make up the majority of Northern Ireland and they are against having a customs border within the same country.

The whole justification for not having a border between Northern and Southern Ireland is "the peace process" which is a euphimism for not upsetting the IRA.

None of those really seem to make the UK worse than other countries.

1. A politician being a hypocrite. I'm shocked!

2. A politician who lied. I'm shocked!

3. Seems to be happening in many countries?

5. Nursing and doctor shortages are happening in other countries as well.

Also a leader of her majesty's opposition who lied about attending a party.

For an easy case: compared to itself before Brexit.
