Labour isn't working - Thread 6

[TheNuthatch]

A chat thread for those who don't like this Labour government. Labour isn't working.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

I have a feeling that vape on a boat image will be her parting pic

Absolutely I agree with her also.

There’s nothing quite like being patronised by a man after your job is there…hahaha. Although Wes wants the top job I expect.

Yes, a dinghy-borne Icarus.

Ive already replied to the second part, but with regards to the first, what makes you think I'm a woman?

Yes. If Streeting can hasten Ange's demise it will clear the path for him. He must be salivating 😂.

😂 ah that got me, I laughed

£11bn to shoot yourself in the foot.

Wtf?

Christ. What a spectacular FU. I'm with Kemi on this one.

Isn't it dreadful? So tax payers can stump up £11bn to an industry that was sabotaged by Labour and in addition, we can pay higher energy bills too so that some zero carbon zealots can shine their halo.

Yep. I was fuming when the tories caved in to the pressure and upped taxes on the energy companies. They should have stood firm. Same with non doms but obviously labour were going after Mrs Sunak at the time.

“If socialists understood economics, they wouldn’t be socialists.”
– Friedrich A. Hayek

“When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation.”
– Adrian Rogers

And finally of course..

“A socialist is somebody who doesn’t have anything, and is ready to divide it up equally among everybody.”
– George Bernard Shaw

It's so frustrating, isn't it? The Chagos Islands, zero carbon, chasing away the non-doms - again and again taxpayers are asked to pick up the tab to bolster fragile political egos and sentiments.

Andy Burnham tried to introduce a 'clean air zone' in Greater Manchester. It failed spectacularly and almost took Burnham down with it. It was pulled at the last minute, but not before thousands of trades had already replaced their vans.
Thousands of signs were erected at the time all over the region ready for implementation. They are currently being taken back down at an eye-watering cost of £600K.

My favourite political quote, from FE Smith:

Nature has no cure for this sort of madness [socialism], though I have known a legacy from a rich relative work wonders.

Yes, quite so - forgive me.

Rephrase.

Would sir/madam/it/they/them be better served on a pro-Labour thread, perhaps?

Why do you all feel the need to try to throw people off threads? It really isn’t the spirit of MN. Other views are allowed you know. And many of you seem to happily hang out on Labour ones.

OK.
