Theresa May strong and stable. Not

[Plumbhead]

This government isn't keeping the population safe.

3 terror incidents in 3 months.

Information about terror suspects have not been acted upon. Yes i know other planned attacks have been prevented but 3 horrific attacks in 3 months???

Police cuts, fire services cuts, phasing out the NHS.

Cutting disability support. Cutting mental health support.

Burdening us with Brexit and the associated economic downturn reducing public funds further.

Inadequate housing policies, possibly resulting in the deaths of hundreds of innocent British citizens.

Risking the Good Friday agreement due to sheer reckless politics.

I strongly feel, based on the above, that the government is not keeping the British people safe.

Aibu?

YANBU

But I expect people will come on and defend her and the reckless capitalist bullshit we have to put up with.

Lol, look at these two.

Slow day at the students' union, you scamps?

Omg YADNBU.

deffo I think everyone's entitled to their own opinion. As you are to yours.

Deffo you do know lots of adults voted labour don't you?
Yanbu OP

Dixie I wouldn't have done if there was a decent alternative. But with Corbyn at the helm of the Labour Party determined to spend all the money. They seemed like a safer bet for now. I'm glad they didn't get a majority though, hopefully it'll push May out soon and they can take stock and move away from the harsh austerity package.

All the services you mention require money. It has to come from somewhere, and people tend to prefer not to pay higher taxes to put more nurses in hospitals, more police on the streets and so on.

If Corbyn or the Lib Dems or any other party came up with a credible plan for paying for the services we need without hiking taxes, they would have won the election by a landslide. But they don't, and anyway it's easier to criticise than think of a solution.

The only people to blame for the terrorist attacks are the terrorists and their supporters. As a country, more people prefer to see successful terrorist attacks than are willing to pay more in taxes or vote for radical parties and their alternative strategies for preventing terrorism.

Yeah, bloody Corbyn. He would waste our money on things like making sure people had adequate housing that isn't grossly unsafe, and a functioning health service, and renationalising the railways so the profit they make isn't all going to the Dutch government. So profligate. I feel much more secure when the government is giving all our tax money to the banks and making sure corporations get to pay really low rates. Strong and stable!

Literally can't wait for Jezza to take the helm now.

All those disappointed little faces when shit keeps on happening.

All the services you mention require money. It has to come from somewhere, and people tend to prefer not to pay higher taxes to put more nurses in hospitals, more police on the streets and so on.

Do they though? Do people really not want to spend a tiny bit more in tax to have enough nurses to go round, or to feel safe on the streets? I really don't believe that.

Why was my post deleted?

Yawn!

Apart from the 1,300,000 who lost their jobs in 2008/9, you mean, Dixie?

Are we still blaming Labour for the global economic meltdown? Sad!

Didn't the Tories say they'd have the deficit cleared by 2015?

Ghost Had we had real austerity as opposed to austerity lite, then it might have been cleared by then, but you wouldn't have enjoyed it. In the RoI for example, the Armed Forces, and public servants and those who had retired from those jobs had to take a 10% cut in their incomes to plug the gap.

We, on the other hand, had a pay freeze, and your income only rose if you still had scale points to climb.

I hadn't noticed OP that the NHS was being phased out, and I think the cladding of the tower blocks happened under another PMs watch, not TM. I don't think she called the referendum either.....iirc.

We aren't talking about RoI. Nobody refers to austerity lite. Austerity has seen pay freezes, public service cuts. All this for Tory ideology in one of the richest nations on earth.

Yes, because Corbyn would have dealt with these tragedies so much better as shown by his amazing record as a productive MP.

Not denying that May's shit, but Corbyn is even worse. In fact, any information would not only have not been acted on, the information would not have been gathered in the first place that stopped numerous other attacks if it were down to Corbyn and his constant voting against anti-terrorism laws.

Anyway, nice first post OP. But I thought this was Mumsnet, not a Mometum forum.

JC has been speaking out about housing inequality for a long time.

No I'm not blaming labour for the global economic meltdown, that was the fault of sub prime mortgage lenders and bankers in the US. However my opinion is that Labours policy of spending to prevent a boom and bust economy meant that when the inevitable bust occurred we already had too much debt. We hasn't bothered to save whilst the going was good. As such it's been really hard to manage after the crisis and we've had to make cuts (not all of which I agree with by the way).

deffoncforthis how patronising. Neither am I a student nor are the students who voted against such an awful government childish. It's telling and very sad that you confuse a fair and safe society with naive childishness.

" Literally can't wait for Jezza to take the helm now"

Well, at least he seems like a decent and competent leader as opposed to faux May. I have never understood before this year just how rotten the Tory party are.

Not a great fan of May. I just want this absurd quasi-religious bubble around JC to burst, and it won't until he gets into power and has to prove something rather than just protest and wring his hands.
