To absolutely hate this government, and what they are doing to our country? PART 2

A continuation of Thread 1.

Strong words but is is how I feel at this point in time. All of them make me feel physically sick. Why? Well many reasons.. Here are just two.

Eg. They won't release sex crime statistics of immigrants / asylum seekers. Why? Other European countries have done, and it is not pretty. Our gvt gives out a leaflet asking them not to rape the locals. Why? Our gvt has said they won't house asylum seekers next to schools and nurseries, why?

Eg. UK now spends more on benefits than it earns in income tax. Labour have increased this - not reduced it. Astonishing. As they say - "Who can we tax in order to pay benefits to others?" That's Labour's Welfare Secretary. He's describing the priorities of Labour MPs.

In the last financial year, the UK government brought in £331 billion in income tax — and spent even more, £333 billion, on welfare, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility's latest economic and fiscal outlook (obr.uk/efo/economic-and-fiscal-outlook-march-2026/#chapter-6).

Do you mean bored of being part of the pile ons. I was the subject of a couple.

Do a post with evidence, get the onslaught of one or two line quote replies that had barely anything beyond " Wrong" "snide", "see how thick they are", learn to to see the big picture".

Evidence ? WTF is that. That's on the thread next door. Not welcome here at all.

Your posts were corrected, that’s all.

I think we can see what took place in terms of unpleasantness by the deletions that happened.

Mangelwurzelfortea · Yesterday 17:51

Haven't read the whole thread but does it just carry on being an ill-informed moan about asylum seekers all being rapists and how the government is planning to give them all our hard-earned taxes? And how we shouldn't really have to pay tax anyway and services like the NHS would be dripping with cash if it wasn't for asylum seekers etc etc?

Are they?

It depends. If Farage gets his girlfriend to buy a house in Clacton, it's so he can serve his constituents. If anyone else buys anything, it is an "investment".

That makes no sense I'm afraid. Do you want to rephrase? Or not - I don't want to be accused of telling someone what to do but it's not very legible.

Pretty much. Tedious though it is.

The OP was very happy with pile ons. They were doing it. Check back.

They were and yes it was discussed.

I think MN must have 'had a look behind the scenes' and banned her.

Thought so.

I hated the last government tbf but that was because they'd absolutely wrecked the economy, presided over 12 years of low wages, low growth, zero productivity, were corrupt as hell (everything Boris; the contracts handed out to mates and massive waste of tax payers' money during covid), ran down the NHS, ruined teachers' lives, Brexit, and the general obsession with immigrants as a cover for all the other afore-mentioned failings.

Among other reasons.

Apart from that they were all right.

They will often suspend people for a few weeks for 'not posting in good faith.'

Myst have be something like this or she would def have continued with the article posting.

Hmm at this. Still the AI post led to an mnhq update so that’s something at least.

Why would you assume that just because she hasn't posted for a few hours?

Not a very nice thing to say. She's probablay just making a Roast.

Oh well Labour are in power now with their second leader and most people discuss current stuff.

Lovely that you think you can read people's minds and know what they would definitely do.

Not very realistic but it must feel good to think you know so much.

shecanbe · Yesterday 18:06

There are posters who obviously know how to stay just behind the 'hate speech' line - ie. they won't say what they clearly want to say but just post selected articles in an attempt to push their agenda.

Her Roast might be better than yours 😉

There's a hundred other things she could be doing too.

I predict someone else with only an interest in asylum seekers will start a thread soon.

It is a bit close. Who knows, I’m sure there’ll be more threads that posters won’t post on like this one.

She was posting articles in a slightly manic way. Then she just stopped.
