Labour isn't Working - Thread 36

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.

Can somebody please link what they're upset about with Kemi? I cannot find it.

It's remarkable the number of people who seem to be able to shelve any horror or compassion for a woman who was violently murdered because she didn't reflect their own political views.

Death seems to be celebrated as some kind of tool by the left which dished out to those who aren't on board with their project. Right back at Brexit when there was so much talk about how many people who voted to leave would be dead soon, and who should get a say and who shouldn't get a say because they'd be dead, the minimisation of October 7th where rapes and death were chalked up by activists as a dialectic resistance (looking at you Butler), the murder of Kirk was actively celebrated.

And now the death of Ann Widdicombe (I'm terrible with proper nouns, I know I misspelt her name earlier, pretty sure I have dyslexia which I can just about adapt for but bloody hell, there's no rhyme or reason to names) is couched in relation to her views - as if her violent murder is more palatable.

Anyway, I know I shouldn't have wandered around on the wider site.

In lighter news, I am going on holiday tomorrow but I am too hot to pack. And I may never get to it at all if it doesn't cool down a bit.

Men march about at every Pride parade with signs saying how much they’d like to murder women they disagree with on single sex spaces.

Yes, and some Scottish politicians ready to endorse the message. Kirsten Oswald and Kuakab Stewart...

They really do make me sick. So many comments starting with I never liked her but....I don't share her politics but....
Its like they have to signal their virtue before they can show any sympathy.
Although we shouldn't be surprised after what we saw on here after Charlie Kirk was murdered.

I feel you! I'm also packing today and its hell! I had to go into the loft for suitcases this afternoon. Nearly passed out! I've got massive piles of stuff everywhere, but its too hot to deal with. Also had to abandon the last minute clothes shopping trip this afternoon after burning my shorts-clad legs on the leather car seat too many times.
Solidarity 🥵

Thank you for posting this I agree.

I also feel ill at Adam Boulton’s comments. I think he should lose his job over it.

Have a lovely holiday and you @Nuthatch26

Nuthatch26 · 10/07/2026 21:06

It's not Boulton's first offence but he still gets airtime. No idea why Times employ him. I didn't think Sky would have him back. He makes my skin crawl.

All of you trying to get packed and ready for a holiday trip. You're in my thoughts. It's just too hot to be organised for me.

Thanks Just asking - And we were this close >< to booking a place in Spain without aircon. Thank god we switched. This is why February is a dangerous month to book, when it seems like hotter could only ever be better.

Chris Mason managing to not mention her marital status etc. See, Adam Boulton, it's quite easy really.

Quoting myself in case this was missed. I spent ages yesterday trying to find this. Can somebody please link it for me?

I hope everyone who's going away has a lovely time. 🏖️

There are always people spouting conspiracy theories and other such nonsense after high profile deaths. This is a side effect of the internet which is really unhelpful, as they get amplified.

@NoWordForFluffy I'm 99.9% sure there isn't anything.
