Thread Name: BS: Brexit & other UK political topics
Subject: RE: BS: Brexit & other UK political topics
I met some guy in an Ilkley pub a couple of nights ago - him and his business partner were just back from downing street to get an award for something. He was a jolly (quite pissed) bloke , thought boris johnson (and trump, and farage -and Liverpool weirdly - were great (that was all we agreed on) I didn't get the sense that he was political really - he just liked his life and wasn't bothered about much else. Though he did think he was insulting us by calling us lefties from Lancashire. My sister and I took the piss for the rest of our pint before we got away. I thought it was interesting - i'd guess the bulk of tory support are something like this guy - but I was glad to escape.
