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

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?

I think the term is 'there is no magic money tree' ?

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

It petrifies me. We can't do yet another Labour bankrupcy.

We haven’t had one yet so “another” is unlikely.

Looking on the plus side, a barren, post-apocalyptic, dystopian, hell-scape, should kick start my weight loss Grin

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.

They're going to win this one. No one trusts the Tories.

I don't call giving all the
Countries wealth to my mates "running the economy well"

All those saying "in the few short chances labour had they didn't run the economy well" can you please explain how well the economy s currently running ?

We went bankrupt in the 70s under Labour !!

😂 ... and this still feels better than when the Tories are in charge.

You can do, because everyone knows Labour is going to win!

Sunak is having a day off as he knows it is pointless for him to campaign and he is rubbish at doing so. There are even rumours that he is going to throw in the towel.

Relax. Liz Truss hasn't defected yet.

Polishedshoesalways · 25/05/2024 08:23

Labour are going to ruin us.

You might have done, the rest of us didn’t. It’s like saying we’re doomed because of the events of the Napoleonic wars.

What a load of hysteria being created about what are effectively two parties which are not 100 miles apart.

Hasn’t that already happened? Has nobody noticed the state of the country at the moment? It can not carry on like this.

Ha. Said straight out of the mouth of someone that really doesn’t know how fortunate they are to live in a stable, civilised, well resourced country with the best benefit system in the world. Staggeringly entitled outlook.

There are NO guarantees that our way of life will continue FFS.

@Polishedshoesalways I love the way you ignore actual data when it's presented to you and then just keep bleating on 'Labour are going to ruin us'.

Don't you believe in evidence?

Doubt they even know what it is.

Polishedshoesalways · 25/05/2024 09:08

The evidence is Labour’s track record.

We are massively struggling actually so please don’t make assumptions. This country is a shit show and a complete mess. Can not wait for change.

Well, buckle up as it’s about to get much worse. I know how much you must hope someone will come riding in, and Labour will save you from your misery. But it isn’t true, and I’m sorry your life isn’t better, but faux hope will lead to serious disenchantment and despair.

@Fiftypencepiece you are off your trolley.

Which has been set out to you clearly in graphs and data, and is not what you want it to be.

Saying something is so doesn't make it true - if that were the case, I would be a millionnaire with a mansion filled with cats.
