Off Topic The Politics Thread

This is a delusional post. Where are the right wing policies? Paying 70 billion out on furlough for people to do nothing? Increasing legal immigration to nearly 700k a year? Sky high taxes to fund big government? Banning smoking? Refusing to leave the ECHR? Cutting police numbers? Refusing to consider identity cards? Making shoplifting legal?

 

Have you forgotten that Liz Truss actually became Prime Minister for a day or two? There's a nasty, far right, xenophobic minority in this country, led by Farage, that Johnson, then Truss and now Sunak have sought to impress. Johnson didn't really care much about anything, Truss is plainly mad, and Sunak just isn't very good at politics, but each have moved the party further towards this vile rump.

Your comment about neither side having any answers is typical of many Tory supporters who know that their party has failed, I'm afraid. 'They're all the same', they cry - well let's wait and see. Starmer is immensely frustrating in that he's **** scared of upsetting the Murdoch press too much before the election, so isn't really committing to anything particularly radical. I'm hopeful, though, that his government will right a lot of the damage done to the country in the last fourteen years.

 

Except both intent on lining their already deep pockets at the expense of Joe Public

 

I’m not a Tory, Strolls.

 

I didn't say you were, Ubes. I said your response was typical of Tory supporters.

You do kind of get the vibe that The Greens are risking themselves for short term gains embracing the cranks.

 

Cranks in the Green Party? Whatever next?

 

Well yes but it’s a big jump from “ban 4x4s” to “burn the Jews”.

 

Gipton and harehills are both **** holes. The only thing green is the mould in the houses

 

Natalie Elphicke defects to Labour.

Huh???

 

Enjoy.

 

Starmer has more in common with Tory turncoats than his own hard left-wing, which is going down like a bucket of sick with the latter

 

It's bizarre, but she won't be standing at the GE so it's just a stunt - I can't imagine Labour would have accepted her if she wanted to stand again. Another nail in Sunak's coffin, though.

 

I imagine the average IQ of both parties has increased as a result of her defection.

 

Can I introduce you to Jonathan Gullis?

Hmm...this page doesn’t exist. Try searching for something else.

 

Yet another example of just what ****ers these parliamentarians are on all sides.
They have zero beliefs or principles.
