Re: What a bunch of tossers

I look forward to actually stating some facts some day.

Hope the weather is nice in Arizona old bean.xx

I sympathize. You do get confused, thinking your opinions are facts.

It is nice. I’m in Penylan at the moment though.

Re: What a bunch of tossers

What pissed me off was Tories pretending to be shocked about workers being treated like shit by billionaires who've claimed taxpayers money and are paying millions of pounds in dividends, when that's exactly the way they think the world should work, to the extent that they actually voted against laws preventing that kind of behaviour last year and have said publicly that workers should have fewer rights.

People who actually give a toss will be promising never to vote Conservative ever again.

Bang on the money

Raab and Shapps are these types , Raab in particular totally against workers rights

Oooops .......better pretend I am outraged and support them !

Total tory hypocrites

Re: What a bunch of tossers

I think the meat in the sandwich here is very clear and tory boys just don't like the truth

They vote for a party that has always been on the side of employers

And Raab in that clip is the epitome of Tories

And we are supposed to now belive all this faux outrage from the very same people over this P and O ferry scandal ?

Get out of here ff sake

Re: What a bunch of tossers

I really think that you need to let this Brexit thing go now. Your side lost in a democratic vote and is still trying to ignore the result. Presumably if you had your way, we would be pursuing policies akin to Putins in Russia, including the arrest, maiming and killing of innocent civilians.

The typical right wing, daily mail reading baby boomer ladies and gentleman.

Incredible post.

Credit for referencing right wing, boomers and the daily mail but you've really missed an opportunity here.

For extra points try putting 'far' or 'extreme' before the word right. Also, a missed chance not to mention brexit (or brexshit). Finally, the Daily Mail is always more hilarious when referred to as the Daily Heil.

Otherwise, as usual, an enlightening post.

I don't think you understand how these things work at all. You are just a bigot against a certain party, and ignore any information that challenges your decided position.

That you think that the government is actually happy to see 800 workers sacked shows just how far down the rabbit hole you are.

They say Americans don't get irony. You must have been there a while.

Can you not see the state of the UK right now thanks to the voting habits of your demographic? You live in utter denial and the chickens are coming home to roost right now.

Re: What a bunch of tossers

I'd say the state of UK and its boomers would sit more in the Blair era and just copied ever since , voting habits are those who have incline between right and left , there is no far right or far left they have been chassed off a long time ago .

Brexit is about independence bit like SNP . Plaid .Welsh Labour who all seek separation and independence of a central body ie Westminster or EEC .

Give me some of the things particularly upsetting you, so that we can see how these things compare with other countries to try and determine the cause of these issues and hence solve them. Not everything is caused and solved by a nations government. Inflation at the moment for example is soaring in almost every country on earth, so it's beyond the reasonable control of governments.

What issues do you want to discuss? Because the issue may be that you are misdiagnosing the problem and hence unable to solve it. Just blaming everything on the government in 2022 may be as futile as just blaming everything on god in 1022. The root causes may well lie elsewhere, at least in some cases. Or fixing problem A may make problem B worse.

• Child poverty increasing
• Working poverty increasing
• House prices becoming unaffordable to young people
• 40 years of stagnant wages
• Huge amounts of corruption in our current government, including passing contracts to mates during covid
• Fire and rehire e.g. P & O (notice other nations didn't have staff sacked)
• Brexit and the serious negative effect that's had on businesses that import/export (this contributes to inflation whether you like it or not)
• The NHS running on fumes and increased privatisation (which no, doesn't make it more efficient)
• Appalling death rates and one of the worst performing developed nations economically when it comes to Covid
• One of the worst pensions in the developed world
• Billionaire controlled right wing media, our newspapers are owned by what? 4 people? These papers have convinced half the British population that the biggest threat to it is wokeness, immigrants and those on benefits rather than the mega wealthy.
• Spiralling wealth inequality
• Huge increases in electric and has bills (this should have been solved decades ago)

You may say well these are worldwide issues (which have been made far worse by our current government) but the basic cause is 40 years of neoliberalism across the West that has screwed the average person but somehow you get braindead morons who views the status quo and somehow thinks 'this is ok'.

I look forward to you diverting from my points or just point blank telling me they aren't issues or that I'm making them up.

Blair was tory light and a neoliberal. He'd fit in with the tories post 2010 as would Keir Starmer.
