There's actually been a lot of progress the past decade or two. Orderly democratic transitions are fairly normal now and policies tend to be more business-like instead being just being all about revolutionary/socialist fervour.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostDISCLAIMER: the author of the above written texts does not warrant or assume any legal liability or responsibility for any offence and insult; disrespect, arrogance and related forms of demeaning behaviour; discrimination based on race, gender, age, income class, body mass, living area, political voting-record, football fan-ship and musical preference; insensitivity towards material, emotional or spiritual distress; and attempted emotional or financial black-mailing, skirt-chasing or death-threats perceived by the reader of the said written texts.Comment

Hard not to make progress with the bar set so low.
Plus, modern communications shine a light on things that were previously hidden and/or ignored.

Absent that, it struck me as trying to be edgy by using vaguely racial undertones.

the interesting thing to discuss about boris johnson, is not the frequently made accusations of racism, which although not totally baseless, are really about a certain kind of colonialist attitude to places like africa, rather than prejudice based on skin colour, but rather the reason why he is popular. i think it's because he (and nigel farage for that matter) is seen as honest, compared to other political figures. this is rather ironic of course given his unrelenting dishonesty is all areas of his life, but there it is."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.

That and the British love an 'eccentric'. It's like watching a fat, less intelligent Magnus Pyke at times. And of course, for Johnson to pose as the swashbuckling outsider bringing truth and justice to Parliament or politics is truly hilarious.Originally posted by C0ckney View Post
