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

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

It was covered in the media quite extensively but once the men were charged then there isn't much the media can say without being in contempt of court. The trials are at late April next year, right before the local elections and the Senedd 😬

This story seems a bit odd. I wonder why it wasn't covered in the mainstream media?

How strange: young Ukrainian men apparently setting fire to things (flats and a car) which used to belong to Starmer and now don't, as well as his actual home 😕. Completely appalling and unacceptable. But what was their purpose?

@strawberrybubblegum I don't know, very strange. Apparently all three of the men had Grindr accounts which then got deleted. I'm not going to make any speculations though.

Thing is, the people this article talks about are not far right! Most of them are from strong red wall constituencies and are definitely on the left. What they are is disillusioned, left behind and bloody angry that they have been done over by the party that has had their support for years. You can't really say that there is a rise of the far right, it's just now people are waking up to the fact that a Labour government is a pile of shite. Maybe it took someone like Tommy Robinson to wake them up, but a really do not think so many people can all of a sudden become far right, it's more they've moved from the left.

Edited

Well exactly.

Well that's sort of answered a question about babies in childcare that's been puzzling me for a bit.

Our closest neighbour is a SAHM who's very hands-on and involved with her children, but both of them were put into nursery as babies. It's nothing to do with money (hubby's in the superyacht business); it seems they've bought into the idea that very young children benefit from early socialisation or whatever wacky thinking is behind this trend of state interference. (China springs to mind.)

It's madness. Are those children going to remember which stranger changed their nappy when they were a year old?

‘it seems they've bought into the idea that very young children benefit from early socialisation‘

No I’m afraid not. They’re just lazy fckers who palm their children off on others to care for.

I also didn’t realise that even if a person is not working, they can claim 30 hours free (ie. Paid for by us), childcare. Wtf. I thought the WHOLE point was to enable the patent to work if they needed to. My brain is broken trying to understand this type of thing 🤯

Absentosaur · 21/09/2025 18:51

Just scanning messages so might’ve missed some. But yes. 3 young men. All on Grinder. Burnt property belonging to a well known politician. No one knows why. It’s a big mystery. And there is a super injunction allegedly. But the one rule of super injunction is that none talks about the super injunction . 😶

Absentosaur · 21/09/2025 18:52

Ed davey? Marching band? I can’t make room for that right now

Does it strike anyone else as convenient, that this has come out just as Labour need a fall guy to cover Starmer's arse over the Mandelson affair? It had been hinted that Mc Sweeney was on his way out, maybe they're going to pin more sins upon him.

Blimey what a thought
are you in the MI5 or something. If not you should be
👏👏

Rivalled · 21/09/2025 19:08

Think you’re right re Morgan McS @upseedaisee its taking out the trash time, Labour style….

oooh I love ed davey’s stunts - i know Lib Dems habe issues but he seems one of the few politicians with difficult life experience who isn’t just a cardboard cut out of a person.
