We have a different mentality as oddly it is you guys that tend to carry rain forests around on both shoulders and have the need to feel so insular and unsure of the other persons intentions.
Plus we will call a spade a spade and that goes for both Boris and his fellow clown Ken, no matter how well educated they may be the is no getting away from the fact that both are idiots.

Again if you were in London you'd see things differently, such as realising that what you just said is nonsense.
Insular is a pretty interesting word to describe Londoners too given London is as multicultural as they come.
Pulling out the usual stereotypes is par for the course I guess.

Also the economic cycle is somewhat behind the political so we are still in Labour economics and by the time election arrives and Tories economics start to impact likely get a Labour government who then claim immediate success of their policies.

Conservative save? You're having a laugh. These guys are still spending like the wind, just on the wrong things. They've done less than 12% of the cuts but hit us with the vast majority of the tax rises.
You're thinking of genuinely conservative governments, not the bunch of tools posing as Tories in power now.
