To think the UK will become a barren, post-apocalyptic, dystopian, hell-scape if Labour win?

[Fiftypencepiece]

AIBU to be worried that within 2-3 years of a Labour victory, the UK will become a barren, post-apocalyptic, dystopian hell-scape?

Kier Starmer seems like a mad, leftist radical to me. It starts with VAT on school fees but where does it end???

I’m also really concerned that the imminent collapse of civilisation will have a big impact on house prices, and leave us in negative equity.

Anyone else?

James Callaghan was the PM when we were subjected to relentless power cuts and most public services failed.

It was called the Winter of Discontent.

Just in case you are struggling to type google. I have done it for you.

The Three-Day Week was one of several measures introduced in the United Kingdom in 1973–1974 by Edward Heath's Conservative government to conserve electricity, the generation of which was severely restricted owing to industrial action by coal miners and railway workers.

Nope. Read my link. The country was in complete meltdown under Labour in the late seventies.

Are you suggesting the 3 day week didn't happen under Heath?

Ted Heath introduced the 3 day week in January 1974.

Meanwhile Sunak has taken a day off from campaigning. Much to everyone's relief I am sure.

So you don’t want to talk about Labours track record? I’m not surprised. History speaks for itself doesn’t it.

Are we really going to have a Conservative recessions (7) are good and not at all their fault, Labour recessions (3 ) are bad and totally their fault, type of conversation ?

Labour have always overspent. Yes.

The Tories have always borrowed more than Labour, and always repaid less: they are the party of big deficit spendingg*

Well according to this you are incorrect.

You can’t compare recessions because Labour have barely been in power - it would be an unfair comparison - it’s with good reason labour never win GE! No one trusts them.

Borrowing money is what all governments do, Labour however have historically always borrowed too much and failed to balance the books. I have zero confidence that Reeves will be any different!

And always repaid less?

1974 started with the implementation of the Three-Day Week, one of several measures introduced by Edward Heath's Conservative government to conserve electricity, the generation of which was severely restricted owing to industrial action by coal miners and railway workers.

Not only the wrong PM and political party but the wrong year. Otherwise entirely correct. 😂

I was talking about the electricity cuts and the country going bankrupt under Labour blossom

You were talking about the three day week. I actually mentioned power cuts, try reading it before you disagree.

The major issues in the 1970s were caused by a labour government

At no point in history has a Labour government successfully managed the country’s money. Not a single example

I’ve just posted this for you on and thread.

Labour are inept when it comes to the economy. We can’t afford the luxury of then bankrupting us again.

We’re already bankrupt.

Don’t be ridiculous

Read the graph.

Labour will ruin our country it’s that simple.
