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

We are bracing for the budget 😬

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

Sorry you feel chased off. I've really enjoyed your posts. It'll settle down, it always does, so might be worth coming back in a while.

I agree, @Damnthetorpedoes, don't go. Don't give them the satisfaction. They want to stop us talking; let's keep going. They're rattled and know they're doomed. It will go our way in the medium term.

Does anyone have the 'interruptatron' image used on FWR?

Hahaha the nursing home will want first dibs on house sale income. If they don't get it then the council will have to pay for care. There are no winners.

As pp said it'll kill the housing market.

Feeling similar

No prizes for guessing what I hear when I hear the words "please stay"

Or did you need a clue and a distraction?

"please stay...

I'm never gonna post again

Derailing has knocked my interest

Though it's easy to pretend

I've other stuff to dooooo

Should've known better than to try again

The wasted quiz that I had written

So I'm never gonna post again

So few posts are true , woooaaah"

<cue saxophone>

(I really did mean to post combining politics and hidden song references at some point 😂but I think I'll keep off here for the mo)

June 2024 article. He wasn’t wrong about most people disliking the Labour gvt in no time. He was wrong about them showing any kind of ‘fiscal restraint’ .. Interesting article.

‘Voters have had 14 years to observe the faults of one political party in subatomic detail. And 14 years of relief from Labour’s. That is going to change soon. So what will the public dislike about the probable next government?

In a word, statism. Labour exists to spend money. No disgrace there: it is the quickest route to some of its social objectives. But with taxes and public debt so much higher than when Labour last governed, the pain this time will be sharper.

Here is a prediction. After some initial fiscal restraint, Labour, in frustration, will borrow more — on past evidence, much more — than markets currently expect. If taxes rise, too, the public’s reaction won’t be the kind of grudging assent granted to Gordon Brown’s penny on national insurance in 2002.’

Agreed. Just report from now on. Enough.

Sorry for being a princess - just temporarily fed up with the nonsense. People are suffering (including some of us) and we don’t always have infinite patience.

Returning to the topic!

That was an admission of collusion with another poster to derail and disrupt. MNHQ better act or they are enabling it. Don’t let them win. The left leaning posters have bullied enough off this forum with tag teaming. Enough.

Yay! 👍

Agreed. A few days off @Damnthetorpedoes will do you good. x

I've a couple that haunt me, they're active over the road. Think they take it personally that I don't tow the Senedd line just because I live in the principality eejits

So don't go just glide on past.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Back already! Good. ❤️

Hope it wasn't something I said!

No, you're not being a princess at all. Its fucking ridiculous.

They really are nasty little grubby bullies. That’s the current Labour Party .. they all fit .. 🤢

I’m trying to find the post.

So bad.

Ah!

I see it was The Tooth Fairy in action.

It’s been deleted now. A clear admission of tag teaming with another poster. As we all suspected.

I’m actually nursing a glass now (think Ange sized bucket)…

It really is.
