You are right about him but the voters chose him. What does that say about the area he represents. :(

The same as the whole of the UK the voters chose the present government on a single sound bite,this is what we got for it.

Cipolla's third law of stupidity "A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses." Guess that applies to most who voted for what we got on 1st Jan.

It amazes me the candidates put forward to stand in general elections, what pool of talent must they be choosing from? It amazes me more that some people then get elected. One would think, when choosing a candidate, the aim would be to choose someone likely to win new votes, with broad appeal. I think it's a problem of our system and a problem of 'safe seats'. Proportional representation would at least give a reason for the people who want to vote for a different party in such 'safe seat' areas a reason to vote. I wonder if voter turnout is lower in safe seat areas, as voters must think there is little point in voting, either for or against the favourite candidate.

He might but he's going to have to eat lots to make up for the losses in the fishing industry. :lol: :lol:

Anyone remember Michael Gove telling us all that the reason he always wanted to leave the EU was that the EU destroyed his father's fish business?

Scottish fish being landed in Denmark:

Ans some interesting requests for compensation from "the Government". What are the general principles that should apply to that decision?

As the bureaucratic red tape relating to the UK’s exit from the European Single Market settles down, a Brexit supporting packet of smoked haddock was said to be ecstatic that instead of being consumed and digested by a European, they will instead be left to decay inside a shipping container at Grangemouth Docks.

“This is exactly what I voted for”, the vacuumed packed Piscean comestible cried, “A British fish, killed by British Fisherman, rotting in a British Dock. ”
