To be sick of people being so negative about the things Burnham is putting into place

[histrainersbythedoor]

Nobody thinks they’ll fix everything but he’s doing small things that can be actioned quickly and will drastically improve aspects of our lives that have got worse over the last two decades - parking fines, music on trains, vaping on public transport. They’re all small things, yes, but they will make things a little better.

He’s not said anywhere that he thinks that doing these things will save Britain. So why are people acting like he has said that?

Great stuff.

Glad you agree it is unnecessary to paint ordinary left wing people as ultra far left lunatics. MNHQ also agrees, thankfully.

"The only country consolidating its debt"

What nonsense is this?

Agree. The one positive thing the loons have accidentally achieved is to raise the RNLIs profile and the donations. £200k in 24 hours in a show of solidarity.
Looks like the ordinary decent British people showed where their concerns really lay.

I was at secondary school when we had BST year round for a couple of years.

It was horrible, it stayed dark until well after lessons started. This was in the SE too, it must have been worse in the north.

Ok not sure what you’re talking about but sounds good.

Fill your boots.

Snout in the trough!
But OP will tell you that there is t a problem. Just everybody else who has got it wrong!

Go for it.

A lot of radio hosts only select callers who agree with their position, particularly on LBC recently.

To be fair on LBC I’ve heard them deliberately pick people who oppose each other and argue it out

It's all just lip service! Realistically there isn't going to be someone (don't know who would issue the fine - police, bus staff etc) on every bus or train implementing the fines - the cost of doing so would be ridiculous!

It is difficult imagining anyone who thinks those parking charges are fair, unless you are the parking company ofcourse.

Similar with the anti social music.

What are you filling your boots with?

There is already something in place with TfL. Only four people have been fined in five years.

So why didn’t this work between 2010 and 2024?

They probably died waiting, I'm not sure you know how to interpret relevant data as you seem to be making assumptions from headlines

If you read the ONS report, it clearly states job vacancies could be down as smaller businesses can't afford to employ people

😂😂😂

Either died or been kicked off the waiting list

I wouldn’t be so sure about that tbh. These people are anti social, and don’t care… they’ll carry on

Oh I agree. All I’m saying is some of the radio hosts have a lot more people agreeing with their point of view than opposing it.

One yesterday was about changing the Leave to Remain to 15 years.
Queue a number of callers all awaiting Leave to Remain crying about it.

Fringe upon fringe issues. Almost meaningless in the broader scheme of things.

Well, if we’re as skint as they say, then either taxes will have to go up, or welfare costs will have to come down. 🤷‍♀️

But added up they’re not. That’s the entire point.

These are little things, yes. But they’re a symptom of the social contract breaking down. If they can be fixed things will be getting a little better.
