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

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 .

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.

Of course it's possible. But certain posters betray themselves on here.

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.

This is true. Local authority workers are badly paid and many of them never get past a certain incremental pay grade.

Our council cannot get people to work on the refuge collection services; simply put no one is interested.

Cue loads of posts on local media sites complaining about lack of bin collection.

I wish people would speak up and out - spell it out, or dont.

All this pussy footing around.

Which posters are ‘betraying’ themselves?

Have you read the thread?

On the threads about concerns with immigration, boat crossings etc the only hatred I read is from the left where they accuse anyone with concerns of being racist, far right etc and resort to name calling.

Well yes, the Great Replacement theory is a load of hateful anti-semitic bollocks. And it is regularly pushed here on MN including on this thread. And on social media generally by the far-right.

Ik you won’t be aware of this as you avoid MSM but leaks and pitch rolling are standard pre budget. It’s a way to smooth the way for whatever they do about PIP.

The OBR are assessing now, and that figure below is high enough for Labour to start talking about changes.

It's certainly clear you've made a beeline for this poster. In doing so, you've not been so subtle yourself.

If you fear name calling then don't be racist.

Have you missed the hatred towards the RNLI on those threads?

You seem to have suddenly developed empathy for antisemitism. Are you going to be consistent with that support, regardless as to who is threatening Jews?

It's clear that you will always support @EasternStandard, though you neglected to call them by name. Sad face.

However you and "Cov", ie @CoventryCity seem to be best mates.

You know very well that singling out posters will result in deletions for personal attacks.

I hated the last government. The way they trashed all public services to the point prisoners had to be let out early due to no space and ambulances had huge waits. The way they accidentally bumbled out of the EU. 🙄 The way they prioritise the old to buy votes, while neglecting the young. The way they ignored the housing crisis

A-bloody-men. Too right.

As I say, it’s a load of crap IMO.

I don’t do ‘hate’ nor racism - but I will call out people taking the piss out of the taxpayer, irrespective of their skin pigmentation, religious beliefs, or where they come from. All are equal on that score.

Shame that doesn't normally stop people. I guess making sneery accusations that aren't even thinly veiled is the new tactic.

It’s bonkers for sure. There is other stuff to be concerned with, piling up debt for one.

Refuge collection services? Great typo!

Some posters on here would approve of this service. A sort of British ICE.
