The Poolie Bunker

Last post on this topic, Derwent, zealot meaning I am fanatical and uncompromising, I am certainly not an out and out left wing zealot, i wouldn’t have been able secure employment if I was.. I am not fanatical but can be uncompromising at times. I feel as if I am ‘walking in eggshells’ with you and you are just waiting to ‘pull the trigger’ when I post on The Bunker. I post my opinions like others do, no way am I trying to influence others, we are all adults and have minds of our own and by posting I am no way trying to influence others. The comments I post are in general ‘copied and pasted’ from the MSM.

‘Copied’ from the MSM…that’s where you’re going wrong….the MSM in this country now all support the same cosy metropolitan elite’s view of politics and life in general…. and people are waking up to it…and the ‘elite’ don’t like it.,
You have to be here on the ground to experience the feeling of disillusionment and let down by the majority of people with the tired established politicians general buffoonery in office.

people have really short memories. not many years ago there was an outrage if any illegal immigrant arrived hear under or inside a lorry with drivers facing prosecution. now we have all immigrants welcome here in much higher numbers.

You said you were stopping posting on this topic, within hours you post again, this time saying it was your last post on the topic. How many episodes are contained this "last post" epic. Do I need to order more popcorn???
So you're not an out and out left wing zealot, well, in my humble opinion, that's what you come across as. I have been in and around the Labour party for enough years to be able to recognise that category from way over the horizon.
And the "stop picking on me card"......aw diddums. And you are in no way trying to influence others......really....pull the other one. And the daddy of them all......you say you post YOUR opinions but admit that the comments you post are generally copied and pasted from the MSM.
You're tying yourself in knots Jamie and rather that picking on you, I feel sorry for you. You get the responses your propaganda asks for. If you can't handle that then that's your problem.

Has anyone seen Jamie and PJ Poolie in the same room?

If you can arrange that my friend, I demand a front row seat. Funnily enough someone actually suggested to me that they are one and the same.

Oh, so YOU are the arbiter of which posters have ‘common’ sense on the board now …your modesty just flows. Oh dear.

That is Jamie's opinion Snowy, which he is entitled to have.
Irrespective of whether Jamie thinks I have common sense or not and also what he thinks of your posts, that is still his opinion and one he is entitled to have.
Also as mentioned before on this forum, us fans need to unite.

Aye, we all have opinions, that was mine

Just want you and Jamie to get along.

Snowy you are one of the 3 on the board who I respect for your opinions and comments.

I’m only joking ….. it’s ok.

Wow, now that is frightening. Great minds.........

Sent you a PM Mutley.

Most of us are intelligent enough to see that they're all snakeoil salesmen. Also most of us recognise that it's pointless worrying about potential future governments when the present lot (under the premier snakeoil salesman) are doing massive damage to our country on immigration, the economy, energy, industry, poverty, etc etc
This lot are doing more harm to "our tomorrow's" than Farage is.

even worse when you realise we have nearly 4 years left with them and its hard to imagine what the state of the country will be like then.

Free the "Jamie Three".

Let’s be optimistic Labour might pull a rabbit out the hat and surprise us all. In all honesty I believe the U.K. Government will just stumble from one party to another no matter who is in power.

Farage girlfriend in the MSM news, his girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, is reportedly involved in a fraud investigation in Brussels concerning a Eurosceptic think tank she ran, Ferrari is facing a criminal fraud verdict in a Brussels court on November 5th.

There is also the gruesome 2 some, there was 3 but one hasn’t been posting recently.

Normal people have two…..was it a zip ‘incident’ gone wrong…?

Absolutely brilliant.

Theres feck all to be optimistic about Jamie and that's why Starmer's popularity dropped so fast. They are totally unprepared for government and worse totally incompetent, there'll be no rabbits to be pulled out of any hat and well all be worse off at the end of this parliamentary term than we were at the start guaranteed!
As for Farage's girlfriend being investigated, nobody gives a flying feck! You really are grasping at straws to denigrate a party that has a handful of MPs, has never been in power or been responsible for anything!⁴

These two?

the rabbit out of the hat will be the great giveaway in there last few months in power that many will fall for. tax threshholds to go up with reforms and a small roll back on net stupid.

You're having a laugh,right ?..

The best and most obvious rabbit they could pull out of the hat would be to call a General Election....like now.

Why would they want to call an election Derwent, the Tories were in power for 14 years yet after 18 months in power you are calling for an election, how many times did you call for an election when the Tories were in power ?
Has the economy collapsed or are people protesting around Downing Street or outside Parliamentj, hanging a few flags isn’t exactly a protest,Rome wasn’t built in a day not that I agree with their intentions currently or Starmer.
It’s time for Nigel Farage to admit he’d scrap the pension triple lock, if Reform has a shot at winning the next election, it needs to get serious about its policies. Harping on about immigration has won them a lot of support but no credible way to stop it.

So you want to give Starmer time to do what he said he'd do in the manifesto (which is not going so well on economy, growth, smashing the gangs, reducing energy prices, cost of living, etc etc none of which are any better most are worse)?
But it's time for Farage to announce Reforms manifesto when we're nearly 4 years still to a GE?
Isn't it time Labour started delivering on its promises as a priority over some minority party with 5 MPs telling us how they'd run the country?
Farage is doing exactly what Starmer did in opposition, talking a good job and protesting most government decisions.

Jamie, I never said say Labour would call an election, I said they should. I said the Tories should call an election 43 and one half times during their 14 year stint. Although a couple of my mates said it was more. You see during the time the Tories were in I was a fully paid up active member of the Labour Party. I changed my mind and cancelled my membership after the announcement of the WFA withdrawal. I am now partyless, a bit like you claim to be. The only party I have on my list under a definite 100% no no is Labour. I am not a fan of protests or marches, I prefer the ballot box which explains why my suggestion is they should call a General Election so the country can choose if they approve of their dismal effort to run the country or whether we should give someone else a go. I think Mr PTID gives a reasonable resume of their disastrous effort so far.
Hope my answer doesn't force you to walk on eggshells. But Hey whatever floats yer boat.

Thanks for the reply Derwent, I like you are partyless, I couldn’t vote for a centre right Labour Party, no idea as soon as they come to power they abolished WFA, what a crazy idea then use the excuse about a black hole. The Tories are in disarray but Reform is not the answer., who in the current Reform Party would fill their cabinet positions ? The Green Party are becoming popular with their new leader but I doubt they would command the votes of many with their green energy policies costing millions.

Whole idea is outdated.
Just get each constituency to vote someone in who will represent their views.
No parties whatsoever and the whole lot of them work together for the good of the country
This allegiance shite to parties is shameful and has got the country nowhere.

I have no idea who or what is the answer but your campaign against Farage, and let's face it it is a campaign, is a classic "barking up the wrong tree" campaign, simply because the reason the electorate is turning to Reform is the complete fuck up of this Government. The Tories drove a certain amount to Reform but Labour are driving a lot more to them. If Labour were doing well Reform would be somewhat subdued. So if you want to prevent Farage, campaign to stop Labour handing it on a plate for them.
I may be off beam but I think what will probably happen is you will find this campaign, not only by you obviously, against Farage will not protect Labour but will turn people back to the Tories, as the only viable alternative, fourteen year record or no fourteen year record. As a pensioner, mixing amongst people like me they are determined, aye in their droves to get rid of what they see as a menace and they are the ones who will spearhead the drive back to the Tories. The number of pensioners who regret either voting Reform, Labour or abstaining is growing and rapidly and they aim to put that right.
Calling an election right now maybe Labour's only chance, daft as that sounds but if you consider the campaign against Reform coupled with the Tories gaining their ground back the next GE will, as it stands, will be a wipeout for Labour.
So your campaign against Reform could bear fruit but not necessarily the fruit you desire. We might even get a coalition of both Reform and the Tories. We rule that out at our peril. The reality of what I say is staring us right between the eyes.

Yep, I'd be really surprised if the next GE results in a hung (unfortunately not literally) parliament and a coalition being formed. The trouble is as you say it's not about the country and citizens anymore it's 100% party first.
The disruption caused by Reform might if anything served to refocus politicians minds on what democracy looks like.

Thanks for the reply Derwent, I like you are partyless,

Oh no you aren’t.

So Labour are trying to get local elections cancelled again for a second year running, talk about desperation, you really couldn't make this shit up, corrupt doesn't tell half the tale, how are they still in power?.

Why, I have just posted I am, you think I am telling porkies again, no you are trying to wind me up, sorry you haven’t.

DA iawn Caerphilly!! It's Welsh rarebit for Nigel today..Well done sir!.

.

Don't know about Farage gets a kicking, but Labour certainly got a kicking in Caerphilly a distant 3rd. The seat has been held by Labour since it was formed over a century ago!

..Well someone has

what always gets me is how theyonly spout the party line and not views of there constituants or even there own personal views. if they do what happens, they lose there whip and become an outsider with balls and a view.

like they do in wartime. we live in a war situation now with the cost of living that feels higher than what they state, immigration, net zero, minorities above majorities and free speech.

We live in a war situation now..................absobloodylutely we do! Russia and China are slowly taking control of our country by stealth - sadly the mainstream media seem to focus on the big issues - like the new Springsteen fillum or an entitled tw*t who was an active sexual deviant with others for decades - ignoring Wagner group managed terrorism across Europe, state hacking, the OrangeManBaby preparing to invade Venezuela, etc., etc.....and this focuses my frustration with all the political parties - their responsibility to PROTECT the people. Rant over: I have a bunker to dig.

I’ve been saying that most of my life…politics is handbrake on progress.

Political parties and their members are only looking at protecting their own interests, the MSM TV, newspapers etc are controlled by who ever owns them. How many younger people actually ever read the political columns in newspapers.
China and Russia will ‘invade’ Europe by stealth hacking into the internet or even destroying the links which lie unprotected on the sea bed.
The LB Group 100% Chinese owned a is launching a bid to take over The Tioxide plant, Venators as its now known at Greatham which has gone bust. Surely the government should be stepping in to stop this ?
The Chinese want to build a ‘super’ embassy in London,the government has since demanded an explanation for why some sections of the building plans have been redacted - something anti-China activists suggest could be a tactic to hide facilities for detaining opponents of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

I heard the same down pub....I believe our boys are onto it.

Farage girlfriend might be getting a ‘kicking’
Ongoing investigation.
Fraud allegations: In October 2025, it was reported that Laure Ferrari Farage girlfriend was embroiled in a Brussels fraud investigation concerning the alleged misuse of €730,000 in EU funds.
Judgement expected: The investigation relates to Ferrari's former role as executive director of the Eurosceptic think tank Institute for Direct Democracy in Europe (IDDE). A Brussels court specialising in financial crime is scheduled to deliver its verdict on November 5, 2025.

You reside in Thailand yet are obsessed with events on the other side of the world.
You experience nothing here…because you’re not here.
It’s the old Party hack trick of repeating the same message/mantra in the sad hope people will believe it.
Repetition, repetition, repetition over the same issues, whistling in the wind and revealing a frenzied obsession…
Your above post better be watertight if you’re putting it on this age board.

even if he is 100% correct what the hell has it got to do with nigel farage anyway. just the same if our wives or girlfriends do something wrong are we to blame. just modern society yet again trying to stir the shit any way they can.

I am a U.K. citizen and a U.K. taxpayer, I like know about world news and stories related to the U.K. am I not allowed to comment, what happened to freedom of speech ?
The post is 100% water tight, it was in The Independent and The Telegraph and many other MSM outlets but hidden behind a pay wall so I couldn’t post the link, obviously you don’t keep up with the news.
