Immigration Detention Centres in Green Constituencies

[Christmastimemisteloeandwine]

Reform”s policy of Immigration detention centres in Green constituencies.

Regardless of your political persuasion, this just demonstrates the dismal state of British politics.

What happened to the governing party governing in the interests of everyone, regardless of who they voted for? And what about Reform voters in Green consistencies?

Fucking awful, the lot of them.

It’s a vote about your local council. You are voting for the people who work out how the bins work,
the streets get cleaned, child and adult social care. It’s not about “getting Starmer out”, whatever Nigel Farage is assuring his fanbase

Who do the Reform voters you know want to replace Starmer? Who in the Labour Party do they think is better than him?

The only Reform voter I know that I have been able to ask about this, said it would trigger a general election and Farage would be PM.

You imagine wrong. They’re not the Tories.

You are voting for your local council in England. Meanwhile in Scotland and Wales we are voting for our Parliament members.

I’m not voting for either but presumably the political pressure is the point of it. If the results are incredibly dire Labour MPs might make a move.

Maybe. But if anyone thinks that tomorrow's elections will bring about an immediate General Election, I think I'm allowed to call them stupid.

I doubt it. It’s the Tories who change leaders every five minutes.

So Reform propose significant capital spending and job creation, and they plan to do it in "Green" areas, and the Greens come out against job creation.
"It's like rain on your wedding day. It's a free ride when you've already paid...."

BTW, other parties are just the same, but not as blatant with the announcements. Six of the eight biggest prison building/expansions by the Labour government are in Conservative constituencies, despite there being over 3 times as many Labour constituencies.

At a branch meeting I was at no one thought this. About 40 at meeting.

You might want to look into this a bit more
For example private health cover mostly has restrictions on lots of cancer treatments, endof life care, paediatric issues etc. Take a look
Also they obviously arent going to do the extremely specialist work or A&E
Think about it

Exactly. They do the easy stuff because it's where the waiting lists are longest, so it's where people go private. They mint it because it's usually low risk too. But when it does go wrong, private facilities don't have the capacity to deal, so patients get shipped to the NHS. Win win quids in.

The issue with the NHS being free at the point of use is that where there no constraint on demand through price then demand gets constrained through queueing. We saw this in communist countries where prices for clothing, food, cars etc were set deliberately low by the state. But at Government set low prices there was more demand than supply, resulting in queues.

But I don't think the point is them actually doing it, it's the response to their suggesting doing it and that it reveals hithertoo unacknowledged bias's isn't it?
