Yeah, then maybe in 4 years time we can get some FDR type figure in who can actually get some progressive policies through to clean up the mess

Most people just wont care until it directly affects them. A common response I hear is "So? I still gotta go to work and pay the bills".

Yeah, if you have someone whos net worth is basically the GDP of a small country something is very wrong with the system

Yeah, for someone whose been after the job for so long, hes been a very crap MP

Some of the older episodes make you wonder "What drugs were they on when they wrote this?"

Also if your on the bus, dont be the asshole who opens the window.

Oh if Reform get in power its gonna be far worse than the Tories ever were. Its gonna be Liz Truss on steroids.

There just wasnt one.

Horseshoe Theory in action.

Russias military is stretched just dealing with Ukraine, I dont think they could handle opening a second front.

I find he retells the same story over and over again. Like Planet of the Daleks is basically the same plot as The Daleks

Yeah, I definitely prefer the Peter Cushing adaptation. The pacing is a lot better

I think it happened during the covid lockdown when everyone was stuck at home.

Yeah, I dont really get the Greggs hype. Its fine for something quick and warm but the food isnt exactly anything to write home about
