[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.

She’s got to raise every possibility in the press first to judge reaction as she hasn’t got a scoobies. Will ignore the results of public reaction though.

Save your strength (and swear words) for tomorrow ladies.
We have to get through Starmer's speech yet 😂. Gaslighter in chief.

Maybe we could turn it into a drinking game?! We'll be so wankered by halfway through, we won't care what he says next!

We’re going to need a new thread before the day is out at this rate. And then probably another one by the end of tomorrow after we’ve all ranted about SKR’s incompetence!

Thankfully I have a 209 mile drive to do tomorrow afternoon so will distract myself with my numerous podcasts 😜

😬

Count me in!
I'll take a hip flask to work tomorrow 😂

🤣🤣🤣

Indeed..I liked the standing ovations ...kier holding instructions up off camera

I have been busy with my day job, but I look forward to reading through all the posts I have missed, you lovely people!

Well of course they said it was good, they've drunk the koolaid and are part of the "see no evil" cult

‘Fixed the foundations….’

Of what, specifically? The black hole, or Reeves’s warpaint? (Miaow).

I'll be working..thankfully!

They don’t need a link
It’s a Well known private school

so yes. Discrimination

would it be wrong to just tell him to lie next year. ?

@GabrielsOboe id say her hair & make up is the only thing that has improved over the last year that she’s in charge of too!

Nope many are lying.
Same when it comes to being refused NHS services, just lie.
Same with work experience, just lie

It’s terrible isn’t it that honest kids have to lie to stop discrimination and sidelining.

Will do tho 👍

I would be inclined to try to get something in writing from them, and then serve them with an FOI request.

Difficult to prove discrimination I would imagine, but it would serve to make your point.

Unbelievable! Was he really turned down because of his school? How dare they.

Sod that, of course he should lie if he goes back.

It stinks! To have to lie to get a job. Oh, wait, half the government did it, so it must be OK!

The NHS are doing it openly in some geographical areas. But they’ve specified pupils from certain schools aren’t eligible (private schools). Also for some of their doctor work experience. All disgraceful. And you’d think, think illegal.

caught in the headlights 😵‍💫

I was tempted to post pick of wicked witch from wizard of oz ( re comments on makeup ) but even I thought that was too mean

Ill save it for the budget

More in Common, asking people to sum Starmer up in a word. June 2004 Vs 2025 September. It's a picture of bad moving to worse, look how much 'Weak', 'Incompetent' and 'Useless' has really grown over the year.

He filled out a form. Name, address , age, school.
He'd worked out he needed to stand near the door that all the managers come from as they only seemed to consider those nearest that door.

He gave his name. They looked at his form and literally said ‘ wrong school mate ‘. Then immediately moved on to the guy next to him. No discussion.

He’s tall, athletic and well capable of heavy lifting etc.

I think as we have a right to ‘prefer not to say’ on pronouns crap he should say that next time. Maybe just put his Uni down or something ??

That must have been horrid for him. It's just wrong.

I’m appreciating some of those new smaller words too, pathetic, wanker, liar and rubbish
