To want Elon Musk to stay the fuck out of U.K. politics?

[Birdscratch]

And German politics and just focus on the President he’s already paid for and turning X into a toxic wasteland.

They also care about winter fuel payments. The NHS is a system unfit for purpose, no government can save it, so Labour will simply be the government in power as it inevitably slides further downhill. interestingly I’m seeing increasing number of teens moving away from the lefts ideology.

Labour will never stop the boats - they fail to acknowledge the issues at stake. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/oct/26/small-boats-channel-crossings-figures-labour-home-office

How is implementing the recommendations of the inquiry that’s already taken place brushing it under the rug?

Tories won’t stop the boats we all know that. It was their only policy and they rose massively under their 14 years leadership. 🤣

Re winter fuel many of the grey vote agree with it thinking the nhs is more important than many getting an allowance they don’t need and having a state pension increase of the same amount.

We know Farage wants to privatise the nhs which is deeply unpopular. They have no other policies.

This pensioner doesn’t give a stuff about winter fuel payments and that issue will have vanished into the far distance before the next election. There was 70% public satisfaction with the NHS in 2010, if this government drastically reduces waiting lists and increases the number of GP appointments satisfaction ratings are like to rise from the current 23%.

But the Tories aren’t in power, Labour are. It is irrelevant what the Tories would do. The relevant question is what are Labour doing? Presumably they think the reason the won the election is because they think they can do better than the stories. So what are Labour doing to stop the boats?

Labour have a history of having no policies in opposition, in fact I can clearly remember David Lammy on Question Time saying his job wasn’t to have policies it was to oppose the government (can clearly remember thinking what a stupid thing to say).

Oh a lot of pensioners are upset about the winter fuel payments.

Fantastic sample of one. Who can argue against that

As with many things, I suspect the answer is Russia & Putin.

It isn’t likely to be a co incidence that the three countries he is meddling in -US, Germany & UK are the largest backers of Ukraine.

Unlikeky, at the end of the day these countries are powerful economies. That is the reason- doubt it has anything to do with Russia

Bully for you but What does any of that have to do with what I said? contributing to threads good for you!! Talk is cheap, usually by people like you. Yes before you ask I have been involved in more that talking about these girls

And the rest of that post?

Musks "involvement" is merely old fashioned tawdry greed dressed up to dazzle the easily dazzled.

He's just shitting bricks because Teslas are crap, sales are tanking and China will easily outpace them in the next decade.

Hey - I like this alternative interpretation game. Fuck wordle.

Unlikely unless it’s a bounce back from the issues caused by the pandemic

The main issue caused by the pandemic was to identify how (literally) terminally stupid enough people are that you could probably get enough to start a riot.

@MrsRagnarLothbrok but this is a talk forum?
What's else are you expecting people too do on mn?

Thanks for that. Not really sure what you’re on about.

No many feel like this. We’ve done running services into the ground for 14 years. Most voters want decent services with nhs dentists, GP appointments, decent school buildings etc.

There's no law that states someone can't have an opinion.

Let's start with......

Rupert Murdoch

Elon is one of the good guys.

History will judge him very well for exposing a despicable establishment cover up.

Musk has exposed (checks) a despicable establishment cover up in the same way I am about to expose that water is wet. Yeah, blowing the gaffe wide open on big ocean.

(Guess who got the game "hyperbole" for Christmas ? Thanks kids !)

E2A: However I will admit that I have no examples of people who were treated as saviours in their own lifetime only to be subsequently re-evaluated in the light of history. None whatsoever. There are no examples of a leader being celebrated - saluted even - by (say) a 700,000 people in a stadium only to then turn out to be a bit of a wrong 'un. It's never happened

Elon Musk is actually part of the incoming US government

This made me laugh, but having decided that my laughing faces are to used as biscuits, I didn't want to give you one.

And many feel let down by the winter fuel payments. The NHS is unlikely to get any better under Labour because it’s a model that fact cope with current treatments, and demographics.

They really don’t! Many many people get far less than many many people getting it. It needed to be means tested, even many who have lost it think that.The Tories were just too chicken to sort it.

What do you mean “they really don’t” I can assure you plenty of people are

Hear hear
