Boris Johnson wins leadership vote; becomes new PM - Progressive Rock Music Forum

hah.. you couldn't let us fave all the fun could you over here now could you. Stupid is as stupid does.. so I guess it is up to us again to up the ante of stupidity and morbid entertainment of watching cars collide on a daily basis.

so what is it to be America... war with Iran? My bet is placed there. Britain matched up for short term stupidity.. but still a leg up on long term stupidity.. America should do what it does best.. kill great mass quantities on stupid or non existant pretexes and make those that send others kids off to kill and be killed...the rich that much richer....

that is precisely what a complete moron like Trump and his bootlickers and hawks could easily blunder our way into.. a shooting war with them where there was absolutely no need for before his childish spat of tearing up previous agreements only because his predecessor was the one who made it.

Anyhow.. welcome to the club of having a Clown in Chief to go hand in hand off the cliff with our Toddler in Chief. A match made in heaven... and man do I have the popcorn and beer ready.

It's going to be a lot of fun and, after all, isn't that what the British people want most of all? Fun?

People are bored of the monotonous consumerist existence of the neo liberal dream. They want to shake things up a bit.

I'm all for shaking things up and seeing where the pieces land. Maybe it'll be better, maybe it'll be worse, but it'll be less boring, which is why I say bring on Boris and let's have a bit of entertainment

Songs cast a light on you

The world is going to hell, who's get thinking of the children!

Now I have an image in my head that I really don't want.

I'm not sure Portugal is a good place for jobs and to make a living ... no one in my family is there anymore and we have closed shop in Lisbon, as the house was simply a monument to nothing.

Well, at least the father and the library were acquired by the government (the children made a total of ZERO cents for it!), so I guess it can not be that bad ... but I doubt I would be able to live there in my retirement ... and even be allowed to write film reviews as I do now (and not have them censored like dad did!) ... from films from the world over ... well, at least over there I might see a few more European films than I can find here ... the choices here are horrible for the most part in Netflix!

Sadly, or fortunately, I have no feeling or desire to return to Portugal or see anything in Europe ... it's like it's all past history and long gone.

The only weird part is not having a connection to a portion of your life ... it's like it doesn't exist. Wish I could explain that better, but I can't.

You must have been very lucky here in the US. As far as I am concerned, my greatest desire is to go back to Europe to spend the last years of my life. I'd rather take past history than anything this country has to offer - which, in my case, has been next to nothing. Your statement sounds alarmingly close to what you can read in the Futurist Manifesto, which I am sure you know quite well.

Back to the matter at hand, in Naples they have a saying that, in my view, applies perfectly to the current global situation: "Adda passa' 'a nuttata" - meaning "it can't be night forever".

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

So the biggest prick in the village is now in charge of the bouncy castle. What could possibly go wrong?

All joking aside, shouldn't there be the utmost concern that such individuals like Johnson, Farage, Trump, Salvini, Le Pen, Kurz, Helme, Orban, Jansa, Wilders, et al are rising to the top of their profession via democratic means? We need to ask ourselves what is the source of the expedient 'nationalism' that is turning indigenous peoples against each other?

Not me, he is a ****ing idiot and disaster waiting to happen, especially with Trump around. All I can hope for is that he is such a disaster that he has to resign pretty soon.

What's the quickest way to emigrate?

Was one your parents born abroad? You could apply for dual nationality. I'm seriously considering applying for an Irish passport.

Failing that you could plead asylum in Russia

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
