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 am not concerned as I can leave. Either way we are f'd just a bit more with Keir

@IClaudine Nah, I'll just wait it out and crow when the Tories lose😂

It isn't one already?!

OP, think of better ways to say 'vote Conservative'.

@Brefugee I didn’t mean to be ageist. They were targeted on local news as well in the City Centre. But I’ll get my accidental offensive post removed. Sorry

it's ok - leave it there.
I often report ageism, but i've given up as it is rarely actioned and MN say "counter it in the thread"

I can understand that certain people in the older age groups would vote conservative, but much like any other age group, they are not a monolith.

Starmer will make us all have 15 bins then make it illegal for bins to be any colour other than red, and bin men will get confused on recycling day. Just you wait and see. It'll be carnage! Red bins everywhere...
And all the private schools will be turned into printing presses for the Socialist Worker, and everyone on above median wage will have to pay all their money and their firstborn children over to the government for indoctrination.
All parks, sports pitches, and golf courses will be turned into allotments so the country can feed itself without international trade.
I'd be happy with cat overlords as long as the supply of antihistamines holds up.

I heard he was going to requisition all public land for donkey sanctuaries, then sell them for big bucks to his mates 😮

Also, that Angela Rayner is a wrong un. Gobby, female, northern, ginger AND working class. We are doomed.

MsFogi · 24/05/2024 14:51

No - that's going to happen whatever government is in place due to Brexit.

You're right OP

Things will be much better

They won't. The serious issues nobody has solutions for.

You think Starmer is a leftist radical? 😂
How right wing do you need to be to think that?

Genghis Khan presumably.

Isn't that everyone's main concern about the apocalypse?

Toilet paper THEN negative equity. Clearly not a prepper.

Tryingtokeepgoing · 24/05/2024 14:53

Bit of an overreaction. Sure, it’ll be a higher tax economy with a larger ‘state’, which often means sluggish growth. But it might be a nicer place to live!! I however can afford to say that as Ive given up work and will be spending most of my time out of the country, in France and Portugal. But, I was planning to do that anyway not just because of labour. After all, no one knows what their policies are yet.

DunkinBensDonuts · 24/05/2024 14:33

Look at Canada and the radical lefty cities in the USA

tbf radical leftist cities are actually still nice places to live, if you aren’t on the wrong side of town. But American cities reach their peak under right-leaning politicians (eg Guliani and Bloomberg-era NYC)

That's a statistical accident. Freakonomics did a good essay on why it might be. Roe vs Wade!

I will vote for this to happen to golf courses

fucking hell... Tory HQ is on a roll today.

Hint - it isn't working Tarquin. Go look for your next spad job instead.

How many more of these are we going to get before July 4th?

GoodAfternoonGoodEveningAndGoodnight · 24/05/2024 15:09

😂😂
Bloody hell, these threads are getting ever more desperate lol
What can we expect next?!
AIBU to think that every time a Labour seat is won, a kitten explodes and that Labour will go around shouting BOO at babies?!
😂
Bonkers

SeasickAccountant · 24/05/2024 15:14

I actually far prefer these threads to the supposedly-subtle 'Oh dear, yes the Tories have made an awful mess but we HAVE to vote for them again because ..." MN is being flooded with those too.

Exactly. And she knows so little about him she can't even get his name right.

I heard he's going to do a deal with the Russians and they'll turn the UK into a gulag and we'll all be reduced to living on raw turnips and candle stubs 😜

What do you mean "reduced to"? You mean you still have candle stubs where you are?

Treelichen · 24/05/2024 15:20

Starmer is right of centre so you must be off the scale OP😂.

vodkaredbullgirl · 24/05/2024 15:22

Bring it on, I'm waiting for it 😁
