Labour isn't working - Thread 13

[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.

Exactly. Labour will struggle to pin the blame elsewhere when people have real like experience of pre and post Labour.

More money in your pocket was promised at the election. I think they'll find the electorate won't take excuses as a substitute for cash.

I must admit, I’m confused.

‘I'd say all these posts on here is a sign that it is working’

To what does ‘it’ refer, in your sentence above?

I'm not sure that poster made it much further than the thread title and 'it' is Labour.

The Tories didn't make an effort to get rid of these jobs though

I was hoping they could at least reduce them through natural wastage if they couldn't face making redundancies. But as far as I know, they didn't do anything. David Cameron talked a lot about cutting wastage but no one actually does it. They get into government and they want the gravy train to get bigger and bigger. Or should that be longer and longer?

OK so it's carte blanche then?

Just checking because I currently don't lurk on there but it's seemingly ok so I expect a modicum of respect if I do comment on that thread now. You've been lurking on here and reporting back for ages. I am happy to return the favour.

Do you go over there and say..."I'm watching you" like a creepy stalker @twistyizzy ?

😂 Oh I see. I suppose I should have known, given the rest of the post didn’t demonstrate much critical thinking.

I may do exactly that 🤣🤣

Or just post some 👀

Labour are annoying the right kind of people seemed to be the gist of it. What, pensioners, disability benefit claimants, tax payers, unions who are about to strike?

their approval ratings are so low I’d say they’re annoying the vast majority.

Pledges are meaningless to these people - their simple retort is that the ‘world has changed’ - everyone sees them for the liars they are.

If it is open season, count me in - I’m ready.

With the faintest aroma of 25-year old No.5

🤣🤣

According to Pandora yes it's all is fair in love and politics.....

This is such a nonsense lie they deserve to be eviscerated. They’ve fucked up and made a hole bigger. If there really are tax rises coming then Sunak was right and everyone should go nuts at Labour’s incompetence.

One can only surmise that they too have given up on Starmer and his motley crew.

Perhaps they are ready to come in from the cold?

Agreed, and the polling data amply demonstrates that.

I maintain that the 26th November will prove to be an absolute horror show - I confess that I am praying that Reeves goes in hard, so that we can accelerate the demise of this wretched government. I am no sadomasochist, but I am increasingly of the view that we want as much pain upfront, as possible.

We already know that they are liars - it does not otherwise alter the equation, IMHO.

Christian schools win right of appeal against VAT

‘…the Court of Appeal’s decision recognises the serious human rights implications of the policy, including potential violations of Article 14 (prohibition of discrimination) and Protocol 1, Article 2 (right to education) under the European Convention on Human Rights.’

Well who’d have thought it. Not ex human rights lawyer human bollard Starmer, it seems. 🙄

Our local privates all have chapels and group worship. It’s very vague, ecumenical stuff. I wonder if they will soon be getting back to their roots. With their Hindu, Sikh, Muslim and Jewish clientele being surprisingly happy with it. 😂

Yes in the original court verdict they admitted it breached the HRA under the Articles it was brought under. They also agreed it was discriminatory. The conclusion was that the government was OK to do that as money was going to state schools.
However 2 days prior to the verdict Starmer posted saying the money was going to housing. He knew the verdict in advance and was mocking us. They lied in court.
