When politicians are more interested in drawing attention to themselves and their appearance rather than focussing on the work then yes, massive red flag. And yes, that includes Boris. Apart from that you can tell she’s a wrong un. It’s written all over her face. I mean… state of it.

Yes because you can always tell if people are ok just by looking at them 🙄. Criticise people on their actions of you want but you lose all credibility when it’s based on the face they were born with or the colour of their hair. Just so I know, what colour is it acceptable to put on my hair? Was I a wrong in when I died it ted but more acceptable with blonde highlights or am I just not acceptable in the working world regardless?
 
I could definitely tell that she was a wrong’un and It turns out I was correct. Anyone can dye their hair whatever colour they like, but don’t expect people not to make assessments as a result. Some may think a politician doing that is “fun” and “different”. Others (me) might think they're not serious minded people and are more interested in the attention. Either way she’s not making her hair that colour so that people don’t notice it.

One of the best people I have ever met is a hospice nurse who has bright green hair and spends her days looking after dying patients. Nobody gives a flying duck what colour her hair is she's a bleeping legend and the kindest person you could ever meet.
 
The colour of a persons hair isn't a sole indication of any major personality disfunction I don't think, but it might indicate *something* worth keeping an eye on, at least in my experience. That Tory MP with the ridiculous hair (wig?) Michael Fabricant is someone else I would have my guard up with. A criminal conviction is definitely an indication of *something* too.

I also believe, more importantly, that the type of person who is driven by gaining a position of power and influence over others, be it in the police force or as a MP, is likely to have certain personality 'traits' also. In all my life I have never met anyone who has wanted to become an MP, or even a county councillor, they are a certain rare breed of person for sure.

I don’t think about it as fun or different, I don’t think about it at all as it has no bearing on anybody’s ability to do the job. I’m currently judging you for your very obvious bias but I don’t care what you look like.

Well this bloke has natural hair colour and a “conventional” hair style. I can’t imagine him having any tattoos. No criminal convictions (which is pretty baffling considering).
And yet I’d wager he does have a major personality dysfunction and I wouldn’t trust him as far as I could chuck him. 🤷‍♀️

Referring to a woman as “it” tells you a lot about someone. None of it is good.

I assumed the "it" was the hair.

You might. Don’t judge everyone else by your own standards.

Everybody does. It's instinctive and so much part of our being that we are most often unaware that we are making the judgement because it occurs at a visceral level. It is an evolutionary survival trait.

If course we do, otherwise cosmetic surgery wouldn't be a multi-million-pound grift, I mean 'industry'. :rolleyes:

Not everybody has or would ever want any form of cosmetic surgery and regardless of my feelings on the total pointlessness of going that route I don’t assume that it makes any difference to anybody’s ability to do their job. The OP claimed that somebody choosing to dye their hair an unnatural colour equaled them being a wrong ‘un which is ridiculous and lots of people wouldn’t make that sort of judgement. If I judged professionalism in that way I’d have been hauled up in front of HR and lost my job years ago.

I feel like we are on a cusp of change nationally, like a severe ‘winter of discontent’ is coming within the next couple of years. Whatever Kier Starmer claims about not raising taxes on working people isn’t going to hold it off. He’s instead put in place tax changes that raise costs for businesses, there will be job losses and cost of living increases as a result…wiping out his mantra that he’s making these people ‘better off’, the lowest paid people are still getting worse off, and there still isn’t enough financial incentive, especially for parents entitled to significant benefits, to work full time. The continued high numbers of immigrants means that alongside the alongside this problem, the strain on public services will worsen, meaning discontent that people don’t see value in return for their taxation.

I think countries are allowing a lot of migration (like Canada, Australia, UK, Germany) because there is a demographic time bomb waiting to go off. With the birth rate the whole system collapses when there's not enough at the bottom to support those at the top.

France has gone from 3 working people to support 1 pensioner a few decades ago, to 1.3 working person to support 1 pensioner and it's only going to get a lot worse in the years to come. Also in the UK half a million people since covid have been signed off as too sick to work. The number of economically inactive people is growing so much each year.

Immigration is seen as a quick fix to keep the plates spinning. When there's actually no good way to resolve all the issues that have been building up for decades.

There's a huge incumbent swing happening everywhere, with oppositions promising they can fix the unfixable.
