Labour isn't working - Thread 10

[TheNuthatch]

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.

I studied 1984 in 1984 at school
How little we knew then

Good for you. Easier to clean and cheaper to heat too.
No karking just yet 😂.

Ain't that the truth 🙄

Karking ?? @upseedaisee ( is that northern slang ? )

I’ve googled as is my way

• to take full advantage of a free buffet 😆

or

• to not be a burden

the later probably relates to getting all that free buffet home

@upseedaisee we all have to plan for and make our move to the dower house eventually!

Yep. I re read it recently. People happy about it elsewhere. Maybe they’re not getting the digital database part.

Karking - dropping dead!

Yep, everyone bar the likes of taxpayers (Labour's sitting ducks) will have an excuse and it will be accepted at face value.

It's yet another word to die, push up the daisies, snuff it. But also to to have an oh crap moment. It's all in the phraseology!😁

Oh yes 100%. Watch it be the education tax 🙄

Just read on Sky that Lib Dems, Reform and the Greens have all given a firm no to digital ID. I'm almost certain that Corbyn will also be heavily against. Some Labour MPs also coming out against.
Kemi Badenoch criticising it as a deflection tactic, but she didn't rule it out either. Slightly disappointed in her response tbh. I hope she firms that up.

Corbyn says this about ID cards:

Sorry, here:

Shame he isn't in Labour party any more, a nice bit of division would be perfect going into conference

Of course, Starmer’s given rationale for ID cards is utter bullshit, as is typical for him.

Most of us know it.

Incidentally, if there is a mass rejection of ID cards, with people refusing to sign up etc., that’s the end of Starmer, right there…

I was looking forward to conference before but even more now!!

I use the word karking.. and I am from Luton!

Shamelessly pinched from elsewhere:

If Labour were an animal what would it be? These 2 are my favourites replies

I use it too (East Mids born). I'd spell it with a 'c' though, so it's like carcass. Carc / carcing. 🤷‍♀️

Not sure I knew how it was spelt!

Also Starmer and ID cards can both feck off

Thank you. Good on him.

Agreed! Fucking stupid idea. The man is a bona fide fuckwit. (Rodney, you plonker.)

Amusingly, Labour’s feline-bothering crowd are evidently up-in-arms about the prospect of ID cards.

Funny that…

Good on him. I hope he takes some votes on this. Totally agree.

🤣🤣
