They have done enormous damage already and seem determined to do even more.

I'll come

user1473878824 · 23/09/2022 21:12

why don’t you do it then? It’s not actually going to spark a general election.

Scuttlingherbert · 23/09/2022 21:12

Remember they've made protest illegal though

Loics · 23/09/2022 21:13

Do it, lots would join!

N4ish · 23/09/2022 21:13

Follow the ‘Enough is Enough’ campaign, they’re organising protests.

WagathaChristieMystery · 23/09/2022 21:13
  1. Join a union if you can
  2. Write to your MP
  3. Start your own march/protest
  4. Save as much money as you can (to keep your head above water/emigrate if it gets really bad)
  5. Give to charity if you can, to help those worse off than you
x2boys · 23/09/2022 21:14

What do you think that will achieve?
When it comes to a general election people will vote for whoever they feel best represents them .

SheilaWilcox · 23/09/2022 21:15

They do one every 4-5 years and call it a General Election.

DrDetriment · 23/09/2022 21:16

If you feel that strongly, you organise the march.

No they haven’t stop spreading this bullshit you’re doing their job for them.

Loics · 23/09/2022 21:17

No doubt many people's short memories will kick in by then though, and we'll have these idiots for another few years. Although I remain hopeful as they've ballsed up so much, so spectacularly, this time that I can't see many people still thinking they actually care about anyone but themselves.

SophieJo · 23/09/2022 21:18

So what do you suggest as an alternative?

Greenbather · 23/09/2022 21:19

Things have taken a very strange and worrying turn today.

It is just all a bit odd now, just bizarre.

Clinging on to hope this is really the beginning of the end for this Tory government.

Loics · 23/09/2022 21:20

SophieJo · 23/09/2022 21:18

Labour

The Green Party

Steve down the road

An aging, slightly confused donkey

All better alternatives...

Leilu · 23/09/2022 21:21

How very “left”, wanting something but expecting someone else to do it for you.

NewBootsAndRanty · 23/09/2022 21:22

Scuttlingherbert · 23/09/2022 21:12

When did they sneak that one in? @Scuttlingherbert

WagathaChristieMystery · 23/09/2022 21:22

Can you explain what you mean there @leilu?

Lockettop · 23/09/2022 21:24

As per a PP, look at Enough is Enough. Lots of protests planned for the 1st October.

PolarPolly27 · 23/09/2022 21:26

Leilu · 23/09/2022 21:21

How very “left”, wanting something but expecting someone else to do it for you.

My thoughts exactly.

iekanda · 23/09/2022 21:26

We live in a democracy. People voted conservative. I didn’t. But I do not agree with overthrowing the elected party.

This. ^ @Kendodd If you want an anti-Tory march, ORGANISE one YOURSELF.

AnneLovesGilbert · 23/09/2022 21:28

What’s stopping you organising something or joining an existing protest group?

x2boys · 23/09/2022 21:28

Loics · 23/09/2022 21:20

Labour

The Green Party

Steve down the road

In reality though there is only one real alternative which is labour and they are not exactly setting the world on fire with their policies
Maybe a more dynamic leader would help Keir Starmer is a bit insipid

Leilu · 23/09/2022 21:28

WagathaChristieMystery · 23/09/2022 21:22

Well, they’d like to have a march organised, but rather than doing it themselves they prefer that someone else organises it.

Tootiredtoogiveatoss · 23/09/2022 21:29

My daughter and I were only saying today that the people who have been completely screwed over by the state are so concerned with survival that they have neither the time or energy to protest!, Absolutely shocking situation!
