The problem was someone else also told them this exact outcome wouldn't happen.

The problem is that the person who told them this was Boris Johnson who was about as believable as the devil. So it's still on them.

If the bus were* true

When using be in an if clause for an unreal conditional sentence, always conjugate it as were, no matter what the subject is. Even if the subject is first-person singular (I) or third-person singular (he, she, or it), still use were with an if clause in unreal conditional sentences.

Yeah, but only one of these two parties was a pathological liar.

[–] soggy_kitty@sopuli.xyz 1 points 7 months ago (2 children)

The problem is how do you prove the other guy is a liar when he is saying you're a liar?

Yup, I just described how the british political system is played.

With sources and facts and by remembering it's the party that said the country is sick of experts as one of their barrage of lies during Brexit. By not trusting the party that's been looting the country for 14 years, leading us to where we are now, a situation they are claiming they will be able to fix if only we elect them one more time! They just haven't had enough time in office you see.

It's blatantly obvious which party lies most unless you're a gullible fucking moron.

Evidently 52% of voting UK are gullible morons

Pretty much. Not really their fault, they have right wing media, false balance, and being too busy with coping to then go and research stuff afterwards.
