[TheNuthatch]

A chat thread for those who don't like this Labour government. 💙

Bracing for the budget 😬

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

Err have you seen the other options! 😂

The quality of the visitors kinda matches the quality of the Labour Party! 😩🤣

😂😂😭😭

Err have you seen the options from the other parties! 😂

Right now I'd have Boris back in a heartbeat.

True. Those with half a brain abandoned them long ago.

Ohhhh!

Good one!

Well, that too.

He's been up against a weak field both times he's dealt with an election!

Right now Labour will have Boris in a hearbeat!

I miss Boris! (Not something I could have imagined ever saying, tbh.)

Yep with Sunak as Chancellor

People losing it over partygate has a lot to answer for. Cummings did that and this site went bananas

Sunak with Hunt as chancellor would be my preference .
I would definitely take Boris over Starmer, any day.

Either for me. I like Kemi too tbh. She has some good thinking on how to fix things.

Those four, oh and Wallace of course as defence sec

What have Labour loyalists done, look where we are.

@TheNuthatch

Population size is raw number. Per capita allows for fairer comparison.

We are 17th per capita compared to other EU countries.

I don't care where we sit on the league of soft touches. I hope that's clear enough for you.
No need to keep repeating yourself.

Good to know that Brexit isn't a legitimate excuse though, thanks for confirming. 👍

Ooh, yes to Wallace!

We don’t care where we rank ok? 1st, 9th, 17th, whatever. Still way too many taking advantage of our ongoing hospitality.

@TheNuthatch

And then globally Iran takes a huge number. 3.5 million.

Soft touches? Like when we considered the Middle East to be a ‘soft touch’ and plundered for oil and trade. When we divided communities by creating arbitrary borders for colonial interests, forced religions together and created poverty.

Yep.
Its not exactly going well in Germany either is it? What a stupid argument to make 🙄.

Quite. Germany came within a bawhair of electing the AfD, and at this rate will next time. The current coalition is now looking at returning 1.3 million refugees to Syria.

I think you'll find that a lot of what's going on the Middle East now is because of the Ottoman Empire and its demise.

Yes, and they've returned some to Afghanistan too. Labour are dancing to Farage's tune and looking towards the Denmark model.

The left clearly don't want us to discuss Starmer & Co and the damage they're doing. They only want to discuss Reform, and will divert every debate in that direction.
Again they fight against, not for.

@SpaceRaccoon

Oh I agree. The far right are growing across Europe. Disillusionment with mainstream parties, anti immigrant sentiment, a focus on national sovereignty.

Far right terrorism is on the rise too.

Yes. It’s all they know how to do.

I think they’re losing so much ground now it’s becoming apparent to even the most committed Labour loyalist.
