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.

You're making me twitch 🤣🤣.

I for idiot is brilliant 😂😂

Dh and I use it all the time, and we don't even say the letter first. We just say bravo, alpha, lima, lima. That's how it's done folks! None of this B for... malarkey please 🙏

Oh that’s very swish well done 😬

That resonated with me. I am also a massive stickler for the phonetic alphabet. I can't stand it when people don't use it properly. Literally makes me twitch and grind my teeth. My dc are fluent, I made sure of it.
Woe betide if any of our staff say P for Peter in my presence 😂

Same here. I've been known to correct folk too. 😁

TheNuthatch · 28/10/2025 20:24

Have I got this right?

So if the conservatives put asylum seekers in barracks, that's bad, inhumane etc.
If Labour put asylum seekers in barracks, that's good???

Yes you’ve got it.

So infuriating and hypocritical. I’m glad they’re tanking so badly.

Like quicksand, they're being pulled under by their own lies and hypocricy and I can see no rescue in view.

Neither can I.
Hopefully the budget, followed by the May elections will finish them off. They will have nothing left to offer that the markets will tolerate.

I just hope they're finished off before any of their Bravo Sierra policies take root. The very fabric of this country is ready to fall off a cliff.

AbsentosaurusRex · 28/10/2025 22:05

Oh god. You’d all hate me. I can never remember the phonetic alphabet at the time I need it .. unicorn comes before uniform, cat comes before Charlie, sausage comes before sierra, fuck comes before foxtrot etc in my head when I’m put on the spot.. Weirdly it’s always the same ‘wrong’ words.

Oh well! Sorry for raising your blood pressures ;)

Anyway phonetics are questionable. Phonetic doesn’t even begin with an f, where does that leave us?

EmpressoftheMundane · 28/10/2025 22:15

Just watching BBC news now. We are still on Jamaica. DH commented that the King and Starmer had a quiet word and asked if tgey would put a special focus on the storm. 😂

EmpressoftheMundane · 28/10/2025 22:16

If only we got so much analysis of our own economic problems…

EmeraldRoulette · 28/10/2025 22:28

@AbsentosaurusRex unicorn is much more fun than uniform 😂

Lord, I hate AI. I forgotten how to do that thing where you exclude AI results does anyone know?

I was trying to look something up about the cuts to adult education under Blair. I remember them being massive. One of the annoying things about tech is that you can't search out this stuff easily unless you can name a report or whatever.

Anyway, I shouldn't really be spending my time with people who are determined to blame one party for everything. I have voted for both - I'm not die hard anything.

brave is a good search engine, with no AI. You can turn it off in settings.

It’s a good one!

EasternStandard · 28/10/2025 22:42

Just hearing about the house building target which is not going to happen on Times Radio, plus productivity downgrade

Oh!

You might ban me from the thread.

I use F for Freddie.

I use F for Freddie too!

We can start a splinter group. See how far we get. Grin

I notice howls of protest from the Inverness re barracks as it could be bad for ‘community cohesion’ - who’d have thought eh?
