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.

Ye gods! That was painful in more ways than one. Hope you heal quickly.

Sorry I lost you all for a bit there! I was AWOL looking after my dad last week and you lot chat so much you filled the darn thread!

Anyway I’m here now!

Hope your Dad is OK

I brought a fake one years ago we've used it once.
But it's a cheaper dark homebase one

Micheal hesiltine has attacked farage as too far right
Like the point about green votes sucking up the 16 year olds 🤣

I bloody love a real Christmas tree but the bastards, or more particularly the mould spores on them that grow indoors, can make me wheeze. So I'm resigned to a plastic one. If I spend too much time lurking on the Christmas board then the lure of a Balsam Hill tree sneaks up on me but I'll stick with my ancient but sturdy B&Q one for another year.

Sorry to hear your Dad is unwell CaveMum. These threads move so fast now it's easy to miss the new thread.

Personally I get jumpy if posters say even the greens are too batshit for the average voter. It’s like tempting fate.

(my autocarrot corrected batshit to vatshit at first… that’s telling too)

Like saying Candyman three times in the mirror? 😬😂 Never overestimate the electorate

Or Beetlejuice. Shudder.

Oh, yeah, Polanski does have a bit of Beetlejuice about him. Totally fits with the manifesting big boobs vibes.

🤣🤣

I know the feeling.

Regular person - this is bonkers, who the fuck thinks this will work!
Electorate - hold my beer!

🤣🤣🤣

🤣🤣 so true

I'm not sure Lord Heseltine holds much sway anymore, particularly during a conference marking Thatcher's 100th birthday. Has he spoken at the conference, or was this on sm?

String on a door knob 🫣

Does anyone remember their parents doing that to you.

With a milk tooth, you'd have to get the power tools out to dig out a wisdom tooth.

We have plastic too.
Our dog pees against the real
ones and over the presents if they’re next to it
We’ve learnt the hard way. 😳

No just baffled at the sudden Christmas trees. Thought MN was playing up at first

Yep, you should definitely stick to artificial 😂.

I might put the plastic one up again, and try some of those scent sticks.

Oh no 😂 Yes, a real tree is a liability.

Apparently the woman who was cutting the ribbons today was an Art Council funded PhD student who is writing a thesis on haunting and the supernatural in Palestinian territories.

I'm just going to leave that there without comment 😗

I like a bit of side chat to keep things jolly. It seems to roll along uneventfully between the politics.

I don't have the words either, without swearing profusely.

Same. We’re a real tree family. I have coveted baubles and woe betide if any smash.

I assumed that your pp was barbed,.and aimed at me. I apologise if that's not the case.
These threads are often tangential. I like that though, it's nice to lighten the mood sometimes.

Yes I enjoy the randomness
