8 күн бұрын

James O'Brien hosts a phone in asking callers to identify the most memorable Tory moment from the last 14 years.
James hears from caller Anne, who argues that the Brexit vote was 'not ridiculous' and those who voted for it are 'quite intelligent and quite informed'.
James goes on to ask Anne to outline the 'best bit' of Brexit but she refuses to give him an example.
They argue back and forth for seven minutes before Anne hangs up...

I hoped that my protest vote will cause the government to correct these issues. But unfortunately I must have been alone in my views. As the fools took charge. Hence I regret my vote to leave.

To an unfortunately large number of people across the world the perception of being right is more important than actual reality.

Two Fines literally cost the tax payer over half a trillion Pounds in 2008 alone. Then Pociophile Dave publicly interfered with the prosecution of his 2 co-conspirators in the UK to the point the judge had to shut the trial down on the grounds that they could "no longer be guaranteed a fair trial". If not for that interference they would have been jailed and Two Fines extradited back to the UK for trial.
