I don't see the problem tbh. They are humans, aren't they ? The same "scandal" happened with that woman, the Finnish Prime Minister. So what ? They're entitled to have fun, just like us. Let's judge him for his political and economic opinions/decisions. Not because he's having fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karbatal Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 In Spain that is exactly the image that we have of British people: obnoxious drunks. I guess we are the only country not surprised with what happens in the British government Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, for me is important to know that both his wife and him don´t pay taxes in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not because he's having fun. Exactly. There are much more solid grounds to criticize him having in mind that he is a Tori, rather than him having fun. It’s the reasoning of the ultralight - their last mean to bring someone down. I m sure this guy would give us much more ground for the policy he would support.

promise to try Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I have to say that in the basque country this would be a huge scandal. The "primer minister" of the area is supposed to enjoy the mountains, play football...but this, mmmm, no. Then again, in spain the conservative candidate has a picture in a ship with a drug dealer and is not important! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Um...that isn't him. I can assure you the only 'scandal' being discussed is Cruella being reinstated at the Home Office 6 days after being sacked and the appointment an anti LGBT, anti abortion horror as 'equalities' minister. Same old shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 So the current scandal is Truss' phone being hacked and the subsequent cover up to ensure her election as PM in addition to Braverman sending classified documents via Gmail... bypassing security protocols and foreign office advice....

It’s based around Brexit and COVID. All these things happening and he is quoting Shakespeare and tales from Greek mythology, I thought it was hilarious. Extremely entertaining.

Of course, to work in the fields that they have studied, they will need to show a proficiency in spanish-basque-catalonian or whatever language is spoken in the place we have received them, with perfect accent because we only understand people with perfect accent,but their salaries may be lower.And they have to pay taxes here, not in India. They ´ll also have to learn that at 17.00 we drink coffee, not tea or alcohol, they will have to avoid balconies, and porridge will be forbidden Of course, I´m try to be ironic, it´s a joke (but that´s what happens to a lot of people when they have to escape their country) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he's made more headlines for his disgusting cabinet of either extreme right wingers or extreme incompetents more than anything. I guess good old fashioned recession/low growth/extreme austerity is seen as competent when compared with the economic Armageddon Truss almost caused... Anyway the media narrative has now moved onto migrants and their "invasion" of England...as it always does when they're looking to distract from everything else.

Plenty want Boris back but he's still being investigated for lying and if found guilty could trigger a general election which the Tories don't want to risk. Sunak is generally regarded to have handled the COVID situation pretty well and there is literally nobody else who seems capable. I think Gove has stabbed too many people in the back. But yes, the markets stabilised, the pound went up and things settled down when he was appointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karbatal Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 1 hour ago, promise to try said: what does "swiss-style mean? I´ve tried to read the article but is not free It means to access the eu market and grants and schemes but not being a member of the club. They keep much political sovereignty but of course they have to accept the four fundamental freedoms of the EU: movement, capital, goods and services. And contribute to the EU budget. Difference between Switzerland and UK is that Switzerland is rich and the UK isn’t anymore. The UK will not have to integrate directives not related to those freedoms but they can’t have a voice in long term decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
