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.

So, sure enough, "Andy Burnham is open to increasing financial assistance for Commonwealth countries to help atone for Britain’s role in the slave trade."

I give up. I'm convinced now that it is deliberate destruction of the UK, and they're blatantly just waving it in our face.

I don't even know what to say at this point.
Would it sound insane to say that there seem to be shadowy forces at play that don't wish for a Western, European society to exist in its current form?

Me a few years ago would have thought the person responsible for typing that sentence was a deranged, racist conspiraloon.

What idiots they are. Burnham the most idiotic.

@KathleenDarleenDayKnightit’s beyond sense.

It's always bad news isn't it. We are told we are in awful debt with endless and ever increasing black holes and yet every news piece seems to going in the other direction .
We are shifting money elsewhere.

Never underestimate craven stupidity.

True.

The thing that most bothers me is that if he were to call an election next spring, it’s quite possible that the split between conservative/reform/restore would let in another Labour government or Labour/lib/green coalition. I don’t see how Burnham’s plans for devolution, creating more mayoral areas, will do anything other than exacerbate regional differences - obviously he hopes (as with London) that there will be Labour mayors even if there’s a right wing administration. The way he gives away money to all and sundry - and borrows in order to do so - means that sooner or later, there will have to be an almighty reckoning as a result of socialist fiscal incompetence, and it’s a big worry as to where the axe will have to fall. And don’t get me started on the lies he told the people of Makerfield about how he wouldn’t re-open the Brexit question. I didn’t think he could be worse than Kier, but he really is.

I can't understand why he has a bounce.
Whose bouncing this man 😟who is he appealing to ?

There’s a fair few on here and probably elsewhere, whatever he says they agree with it and push for it on SM.

But yes it’s bizarre.

What an idiot Burnham is. We are in debt to the tune of £3 trillion ffs.

At time of writing there are over 5700 negative comments on the DT article.

Burnham open to slavery payouts
