What was the context?
Lazy Bastard (:
It is said that the Queen has come to love the Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving picaninnies; and one can imagine that Blair, twice victor abroad but enmired at home, is similarly seduced by foreign politeness. They say he is shortly off to the Congo. No doubt the AK47s will fall silent, and the pangas will stop their hacking of human flesh, and the tribal warriors will all break out in Watermelon smiles to see the big white chief touch down in his big white British taxpayer-funded bird.
Daily Telegraph 10 January 2002
The problem is not that we were once in charge, but that we are not in charge any more... Consider Uganda, pearl of Africa, as an example of the British record. … the British planted coffee and cotton and tobacco, and they were broadly right... If left to their own devices, the natives would rely on nothing but the instant carbohydrate gratification of the plantain. You never saw a place so abounding in bananas: great green barrel-sized bunches, off to be turned into matooke. Though this dish (basically fried banana) was greatly relished by Idi Amin, the colonists correctly saw that the export market was limited... The best fate for Africa would be if the old colonial powers, or their citizens, scrambled once again in her direction; on the understanding that this time they will not be asked to feel guilty.

Hopefully this quote will be more accurate
"I have as much chance of becoming Prime Minister as of being decapitated by a frisbee or of finding Elvis."

Yyyyeah gonna say that first one is not the greatest.....Quote:

Now the second one....that I believe is up for interpretation. Inartfully phrased of course as Boris is wont to do...but under colonization (horrible as it was) there were SOME mutually beneficial things albeit those didn't outweigh the horrors of say King Leopold II's Belgian Congo...but due to colonization you got Gandhi, economies improved, spread of technologies to help with production and agriculture. Now with China and Russia colonizing Africa we'll see how that goes, I'm going to guess like most things those nations do it'll end poorly and i hate it for the people of that continent.
Africa is quite the quandary for me, what kind of Africa do Africans want to see? What kind of Africa does the world want to see? Do we want to see the future or do we want to see our past? Do we want to move forward or return to past greatness? Will there be more advanced cities or more rural areas and giant preserves of their amazing flora and fauna?
I think Boris is a bit of a bull in a china shop, he's seemingly a funnier British version of Joe Biden just constantly suffering from having his foot firmly placed in his mouth.
Well the Tory leadership race is on what a motley bunch Borris bad hair day Johnson is favourite. The Tories answer to Corbyn hell heaven help us two twerps that could be leading this country.☹️
Boris is awful and the rest were poor. Jeremy Cunt apologised for the cuts which were too deep. The damage is done, too late for the poor souls in health and social care that are affected by his policies.Quote:

I still like Corbyn, but I just hate his party and how soft he is on immigration and how he campaigned for the EU. Plus look at what Labour appears to have been up to in Peterborough. Looks very much like vote rigging. Why would you let a convicted vote rigger be so involved again? Not cool, but we will see how it plays out. My view is there should be another election and much more careful monitoring of the process. Especially the postal ballots as they seem to have a history down there.
I am not anti Labour but Corbyn is not fit for purpose this affair over Brexit all Politicians of all parties are not fit for purpose.
This country is a laughing stock over Brexit we had a vote to leave.
How much BS can people stomach a poor show by the politicians Sham on the lot of them.
Blame the Tories then, they had the vote, they won the election and have not delivered nearly 3 years on. People seem blind to their incompetence and Gove was saying we do not want a Marxist Corbyn Labour party in office.Quote:

Why because none of them can agree on anything!! frankly we are in a mess I can't see a general election solving anything can you.?
Yes it will get the Tories out of power. It will end the austerity lie. Thousands of people may avoid having to pay for private health care through the back door and we will not put the NHS up for sale to Trump like Farrage and the Tories. The education system will get the proper investment it needs instead of parents and grandparents having to buy equipment for the kids and it will stop private companies buying up schools to sell off for housing down the line. Homelessness will be properly addressed and a social and council housing program will start to help that.Quote:

Thousands of disabled people across the country will have the social care they deserve and the opinions of doctors and health care professionals who declare people unfit for work (often because of things like being terminally ill or having no limbs ffs) will be respected more than some thick jobsworth at the DWP.
It also has a far greater chance of solving the Brexit problem without us selling out to America and destroying even more businesses that have already fallen at the hands of the greedy Tories and corrupt Brexiteers.
But no...you can't see it solving anything :-\
Labour winning the general election can make big changes provided they have a healthy majority. They could work on a brexit deal and deliver it for a start.Quote:

I do not want a no deal brexit, I did not vote for a no deal brexit. I thought that the politicians could come up with an agreement. They have screwed it up and with Boris and the Tories it is heading down this cliff edge.
Labour's proposal was better than May's deal.
I am afraid UK politics and politicians are broken lack of direction distrust false promises.
Party policy's what are they no one has a clue to much infighting I think l may not vote if there is a general election.!
First time ever 😟
Exactly. None of us voted for whoever the Tories anoint as next PM either. That is why a general election is needed. If there is one and people refuse to vote labour after years of the cunts we have had running the show they might as well have voted Tory.Quote:

And don't let anyone tell you any lies about them either. Tories and Labour are both corrupt and both brought in private services. Plus who on earth pays for hospital parking? Or spends a quarter of the budget on management? Or tens of millions on translation? Peterborough looks like a 3rd world seat too. That's what you get with Labour. Really appalling information coming from there.
My Wife and Daughter both pay for hospital parking both work in Gobowen hospital just across the border in England in Wales it's free.Quote:

Yes it is the Americans. When my Mrs was in last year she had to pay for TV, just like her mother a couple of years back, and whose model is that? In fact who owns and runs that service? Hospicom a U.S based company.Quote:

Apologists and traitors can't wait to blame Corbyn for the actions of Tories as they urge on the destruction of everything that makes Britain great.
We live in a democracy not a fucking great supermarket where foreign powers are free to pick and choose which parts of our heritage they want to control and then we stupidly pay them to take them away and destroy them.

I see Labour has backed a new referendum. Bye Bye Corbyn. Meanwhile on the sly May was making EU security deals.....post Brexit.
I had to pay for the extortionate fucking TV/phone in hospital too (I didn't haven't an internet-phone device at the time). Cost me hundreds for FIVE terrestrial channels (I would have jumped to death from my ward but didn't have the ability to climb out the window).
If you had only had 3 or mouthfuls of vitamins and a cup of Ginseng Tea instead of actual food for breakfast you would not have cost the NHS so much by being in there, you selfish bastard. ;)Quote:

You believe Ginseng tea is the reason you didn't catch a cold, however, there's no evidence for that. You are consciously trying to live a healthy life.
From your article - Based on the lack of large-scale clinical trials, it's too soon to recommend ginseng as a treatment for colds. For help in staying cold-free, make sure to wash your hands frequently. A number of lifestyle practices (such as getting sufficient sleep, exercising regularly, and managing your stress) can help rev up your immune system as well.

There are many types of Ginseng. For instance, I saw it on the shelves of the supermarket back home, but I don't think that would have been particularly effective. The one I use is a highly concentrated form of the Korean Ginseng. Not a miracle cure but something highly resesearched. Like I say actually recommended to someone with bone cancer who did her own research and is doing fine. I have also listened to presentations by experts while on hiring committees. It is very potent and I think that along with my other things has kept me clean. I didn't take it to avoid the common cold which of course I will get sometime this year I am sure, but more for the all round general immune system boost. True, that you need an all round approach to health and it is just one of many things to add.
I was watching that Theroux doc about people drinking themselves to death and that was an eye opener too. When I used an ambulance one time because I collapsed having done too much too soon I had to pay for the ambulance and all the treatment and it is not as though my national contributions are any less than what they would be in the UK. Everything still costs thus any visit to a doctor or extra treatment costs money even though you pay national insurance. It's not about becoming American like Beanz thinks but people are far more messy today thus budening the system. Seems very wasteful. Until you are willing to help yourself then nobody can really help you.Quote:
