To absolutely hate this government, and what they are doing to our country?

Strong words but is is how I feel at this point in time. All of them make me feel physically sick. The latest example -

No wonder Labour won't cut benefits. More than half of Burnham's MPs represent seats where claimant count is higher than their Commons majority

https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16147745/No-wonder-Labour-wont-cut-benefits-half-Burnhams-MPs-represent-seats-claimant-count-higher-Commons-majority.html

Half of Labour MPs in seats where PIP claims are higher than majority

Some 212 Labour MPs in England and Wales have more constituents on Personal Independence Payment (PIP) than their winning margin at the 2024 general election .

Probably for the best that dot.

If you rely on that link but don’t read any news then you’ll be missing more current sources and data.

100%.

Yes but you don’t read any or access any MSM.

The OBR won’t have published the current pre budget assessment on that page you linked yet.

ah, right so, so your trying to hold onto that fragment

the pre-budget time series graph shows no doubling

the BBC new article you linked showed no doubling,

just the fact you were bubbling

You know nothing about me. You know what they say about assumptions. Income tax rates have been the same for years as has CGT.

That’s not really how protest works.

It's how political discourse works..I remember when there were protest about conservative party conference when I went. The protest happened outside the actual conference centre

Like who? Surely it’s a good thing those on the left are not constantly posting hate filled rants.

I don’t ’do’ hate, personally.

And accusations of ‘hate-filled rants’ are akin to the ‘racist’ ones.

i.e. Fictitious.

Indeed, hello Thatcher’s council property Right to Buy which changed this country for ever.

Plus Tories rushing to buy those council properties out from their first owners at a slightly higher price than what was originally paid, but still way below the market rates. This created property magnates with huge portfolios if ex-council property. Charles Gow, the son of Thatcher's Conservative Housing Minister Ian Gow, accumulated at least 40 former council flats. It's a scandal that nobody talks about

Ik you really don’t want it to be the case. The Times has probably been informed by the OBR. Maybe Labour said ok as they need a headline and reason to get it down. Leaks happen all the time. Labour loves to pitch roll.

Let’s see.

Under this government more wealthy people are leaving the country. The more taxes Labour impose on wealthy people the more likely they are to relocate overseas.

My sister is a millionaire and she votes and is a member of Sinn Fein. She's very content and happy.

Attempting to spread the far right anti-semitic Great Replacement theory is fairly hateful I would say. Is that a clear enough example?

Any thoughts @Schlossadler or are you choosing to stay silent on this?

Women don't ask to be raped. Disruptive protestors are kinda asking to be removed. If they continue their disruption (which they love to do) force needs to be used to remove them.

The same way I remember the road blockers I didn't feel sad when people physically grabbed them and moved on..or sprayed ink on them.

And the force should be applied by professional security, as it is at other conferences. They know how to do it safely.

So you're still an apologist for assault.

I agree. A lot of people employed by public sector has got no idea who actually pays their wages. They're in that lovely bubble with unlimited fully paid sick leave, final salary pensions, etc.
They have no idea how difficult it is to make money as a business. Real money - money that pays for everyone.

They're in that lovely bubble with unlimited fully paid sick leave, final salary pensions, etc

Public sector worker do have decent T&Cs but they don't have unlimited fully paid sick leave or final salary pensions.

You do accept that it’s possible for people object to certain issues and not be a ‘hate filled racist’?

Tell me that, at least.

I don’t adore Burnham. I didn’t vote Labour in the last election. But it is fascinating how much time people have to revel in hatred and post thread after thread and link after link of hate. I wonder how it makes you all feel. I think we need controls on immigration, but the depth of your little group’s obsession is something else!

What do you mean, my little group?

That's a lot of assumptions on here, most of which are wrong.
