Starmer Speech

[saintpeter48]

What a boring man he is, he has no charisma at all, he's banging on about what he would've done differently had he been PM, do me a favour!!
You need charisma and a bit of 'wow' factor to appeal to the voters, Boris has it, as did Cameron, Blair, Thatcher, Wilson, MacMillan, Churchill, where as May, Brown, Major, Callaghan, Heath, Douglas-Home didn't have it.
Labour will be in the wilderness for many years IMO under this man.

First thing should be the curbing of Momentum.

"Saying you're going to do something and actually doing it are two different things, it's fine promising the earth, it's the delivery that counts..."
World beating track and trace, anyone?

[teacake44]

Charisma and wow factor don't produce a good testing program or save lives.

[youngmafbog]

And that is why Boris' authority is being questioned Ken. So your point is?

[dannyk13]

//World beating track and trace, anyone?//
I'm not sure that this particular idea would work effectively.Both France and Spain have had a reasonably good track and trace system but both countries are seeing cases doubling day by day.

[teacake44]

Moe like world beating shambles track and trace.

[Ken4155]

ymf, i was quoting the OP. People in glass houses, etc. That's my point.

[youngmafbog]

Gotcha.

[teacake44]

I would think that we have another world beating speech at 8pm, with shoulders arms and fists flying in all directions to show us all how tuff he is, just to tell us about early closing of pubs. :0)

[Peter Pedant]

// They then voted in Starmer who I agree is a totally boring, uncharismatic man. //

he may well be trying to be- - - attlee - who is now called a whizzy administrator
( an empty tax drew up outside No 10 and Mr attlee got out)

compared to fabulous fantastic Boris
who devotees are confused and irritated that the man they put their blind trust in - hasnt come up with the goods

[Zacs-Master]

I think the OP is confusing Charisma with Eccentricity.

[ichkeria]

Damn Peter you got the Attlee taxi quote in before I could do it (yet again).
Starmer is boring?
I’ll take that over Corbyn-stupid any day.

[ichkeria]

I mean even Mr “There’s only been one Labour PM ever and he doesn’t count” Tora seems to like boring old Uncle Clem :-)

[Peter Pedant]

starmer is - - - calmer
karma of starmer is no alarmer

farmer Starmer ....

[ichkeria]

You should do his speeches Peter

[Jackdaw33]

Another Attlee quote:
A modest man who has much to be modest about. (Churchill)

[Peter Pedant]

hi itch
your contributions are like glastonbury tor sticking out of the mist shrouded somerset levels

Mr one pm - also made out that we havent had a labour PM since 1974
AB amnesia - 1997 - unless of course you say Bliar wasnt labour

[Peter Pedant]

well babies
we are where we are

we elected him and knew his scrowing around and we cheered,
he frazzled his hair and we clapped
he quoted bits of latin and we sang hallelujah ! ( a bit awry there - OK - O fortuna! )

he opened and closed pubs like lady of the nights knickers
and we la-la'd the Can-can

what did anyone expect

[woofgang]

"Pedant hi itch
your contributions are like glastonbury tor sticking out of the mist shrouded somerset levels "

when I lived in Wells, I could see that view from my upstairs windows. At ground level it was blocked out by the sewage plant.

portentious or what?
