Labour isn't working - Thread 20

[TheNuthatch]

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.

Agreed - but they might have a 1 trillion pound black hole to contend with….

LOL, that’s bananas.

We did, particularly Eastern. We need to rename her The Oracle 😁
We also predicted what the next budget would look like. Whodathunkit.

Haha I already have someone convinced I did this, knives out. I should have manifested a lottery win instead with that kind of power. We all should have 😝

Its all your fault 🤣🤣

😂 poor Starmer. Rumbled by mn threads

And there we have it.

Claimed on here to be new yet on there is now a long time poster??

These people are relentless 🙄

My PMs have been very busy tonight 😂

They admitted they'd joined us to goad at the end of the first thread where they appeared as well. Maybe hoping we'd forget that snippet!

🤣

It's quite sweet that this thread obviously lives in their heads rent free.

How can someone be a long time MNer and not have seen the conversational threads and know not to butt in? The posters saying it’s like hearing people in the pub on another table talking then wading in are exactly right - but how can someone who has been on this forum for 48 hours + even Not Get That.

Especially since there are plenty of threads on political choices and decisions that you can go and debate on and engage with alllllll day long. So many! Why choose this one? Is it because we aren’t rude? I think it must be.

We have people dip in and out of our Christmas countdown thread throughout the year. We're only 'off' with people who post just to slag us off for counting down to Christmas all year!

Can't say that Christmas is less contentious on MN than politics though. Maybe a teeny bit...

Its amazing to me that some are shocked and offended by a group of women who don't like Labour. I think this is the most hated thread on MN. Its not like Labour are hugely popular irl. Just look at the polls.

(I'm assuming you're all women, apologies if not)

.

Well, that escalated! 😳

You what now?
Why do people have an issue with you talking about xmas? 🤯

I do lurk on your thread occasionally as you know, but I wouldn't dream of butting in as you describe.

Especially when it’s clear that Labour don’t like women..

Yep they feel really strongly about it, why? Maybe an mn Labour thing. Nearly the entirety of the public feel the same or even more so.

If they are seething and reading just remember none of this shifts the dial on Starmer and co. If it wasn’t on here their situation would be exactly the same.

I wouldn't dream of going on a gardening thread to post recommendations on how to kill of your rose bushes or that pruning is a waste of time because someone will take the secateurs to me, and rightly so.

You'd be more than welcome if you wanted to join in!

And yes, MN is fucking weird about Christmas (and birthdays; and weddings; and any other happy occasion)!
