Thread: There’s barely anything I agree with this Government about, but

    There’s barely anything I agree with this Government about, but

    Sunak was right to express his reservations about the USA supplying Ukraine with cluster bombs in my opinion.

    'Reservations' are better than nothing I suppose, and it is probably unrealistic to expect any UK PM to go further - especially a Tory PM with a limp survival strategy of 'talk tough on migrants; talk tough on Russia'. But the right response to the US and Biden should be total condemnation.

    I did wonder if “reservations” was the right word to use - as you say, it’s hardly a total condemnation is it.

    As fellow members of the 'Five Eyes' group it is not surprising that the criticism is guarded. The US declared itself to be neutral during the Falklands conflict whilst supporting the UK with intelligence behind the scenes, such is the relationship.
    It's Realpolitik.

    The U.S is in danger of isolating itself with this latest development.

    Ukraine may be running out of conventional weapons.

    I believe they have the finance strategy right ( as does Labour as announced by Mrs Reeves yesterday ) it is forcing house prices down which is a good thing for young folk

    Stop illegal immigration.

    Support Ukraine .

    Supported their Vaccine and Covid support scheme.

    Did not support the severity of lockdown measures as they stood as more folk are dying now as a consequence ( had no choices though as opposition /media frenzy and wacko scientist pushed them on to it ) blood on everyone's hands .

    Curtail strikes of key workers and expand it out to Rail , Teachers , Universities , Border staff , DVLA , Passports get more in line with the European model.

    Introduce a top up insurance of health for those that can afford it as per European models ( Wes of the Street thinks the same )

    Agree a woman cannot have a penis and stop the invasions of their safe and private places toilets / prison .

    Admire their commitment to having the first black leader ,let woman lead their party and allow many more ethnic minorities to fill top cabinet jobs .

    Agree on leaving Europe as we see Germany and Netherlands slip into deeper recession .

    Agree on making our own decision on health as per vaccine roll out and hopefully now we can deploy before Europe and the world the new Alzheimer's Aducanumab drug instead relying on the dithering European Medicines Agency who refused the licence 2021 ,explain that one to the Alzheimer's sufferers who will want to try anything ?

    My list of Labour governments decisions are :
    ???
    ????
    ?????
    ??????
    ???????
    Follow the Tories decision ( yep that is one )

    Exactly. This is exactly what diplomacy means. Words are always guarded in public

    It's not just diplomacy. It's also the intelligence alliance that is involved behind the scenes.
