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?

🙄 oh for heaven's sake, don't be such a drama queen. They're not likely to start WWW 3.

Is this what MN is going to be for the next 6 weeks.

No, not at all. There is plenty of room for things to get far worse

MrsSkylerWhite · 25/05/2024 11:36

True, which they will if by some fluke the CP is re-elected. There really will be no reining them in.

Thanks to the revolving Reform UK, though, that is unlikely.

I was sorting out the hall cupboard the other day and found this. Now I don’t know if it’s one of DDog’s old toys or the tribbles from Star Trek have started their invasion.

Definitely tribbles 🤣 You must be buried up to your neck in them now

I heard today at the tennis club that if Labour wins, cash will be burned in wheelbarrows at the end of every street, and that a barter based economy based on fuel and agricultural products will be brought in. Is this in the manifesto? It sounds exactly what happened in the 70s.

exactly right. corbyn will be laughing because he has an allotment. I have also prepared in advance and have a veg patch this year

Johnson and Sunak

Chancellors who receive PCNs in post?

Can't believe lots of posters did not immediately clock that the OP was being sarcastic Confused

In my defence I'm autistic.. and I realised half a second after I posted and posted my doh! moment 🤣🫣

Have you been at the gin OP? 🤔

Whatafliberty · 25/05/2024 20:31

No it isn't and I was there. The unions were the problem.

Whatafliberty · 25/05/2024 20:37

What about the tories this time?
No nhs to speak of
No dentistry if you're not loaded
Plans to vilify to mentally ill!
Plans to stop no fault evictions... pie in the sky.
They are so bad that it is no wonder that they can't stick each other.
From a life long Tory voter.....I will take my chances with labour this time.

Yellowbananasarebetterthangreen · 25/05/2024 20:44

Yes, OP you are right. Because life with the tories in charge for so many years has been so great for us all.

Dymaxion · 25/05/2024 21:11

@Polishedshoesalways do you remember when interest rates were 15% ?

Respect. It takes a lot to abandon that kind of loyalty.

Full disclosure: if I'd had a vote (I don't, I'm not British but I live here) I would have seriously considered voting Convervative in 2010. Would probably have ended up going Lib Dem though.

keffie12 · 25/05/2024 21:43

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Erm, I am presuming your trolling/making an extreme parody post?

If not, go bang on your head! I can't think of any other treatment

I am concerned that liberalisation of the post-Brexit trading landscape will mean that people don't have to battle violently for basic pharmacy medicines, thus having a terrible effect on the fitness of the nation.

.... And we'll all live longer and there won't be enough pension to go round, the elderly population will starve, cemeteries will run out of plots so crematoriums will be burning bodies late into the night 24/7/365.

Yep this. ^ And LOLing hard at your username!!!

SabreIsMyFave · 25/05/2024 22:29

Funnily enough @JennyForeigner no-one I know has had to 'battle violently' to get their meds. Been fuck-all difference for anyone I know since Brexit. Funny that. 🙄

I clearly remember how high the interest rates were and how much I had to pay on my mortgage in the 80s (first got a mortgage in 1986) and 90s, thanks to the horrible Labour Government GrinWink

I think this is tongue in cheek but just in case some people think it is serious.
The conservatives were in power for the whole of the eighties and most of the nineties

prettybird · 26/05/2024 11:32

It was indeed tongue in cheek Grin

But you're right - there are people who would blame Labour ConfusedHmm
