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?

A bit OTT, but yes, I agree that UK economy will be further destroyed if Labour comes to power. Definitely going to be a sh!tshow

Why do you think that?

FFS, the utterly pathetic levels of drama on you, OP 🙄

leftist radical

Starmer is about as centre left as you can get.

With eating the rich, how else?!

You can mock me, but you won’t be laughing when your house is forcibly requisitioned by the state to be converted into a collectivist art therapy centre.

And everyone is required to eat TOFU! (When not eating each other, of course.)

Bloody Wokerati!

No Rishi I don't think that will happen.

Better than current 12 months wait for therapy

Exasperatednow · 24/05/2024 17:40

Are we going to have to put up with loads of this bilge for the next 6 weeks.

For context, yesterday I needed an ambulance somewhere not near home. So after 2 hours of waiting in agony and nearly passing out in pain I had to get someone to take me in their car whilst screaming in pain.

I would say the current situation is terrible and we can't keep voting for the same terrible thing.

First they came for AIBU then they moved us into a special general election topic area, then the gulag...

The word on the street is that the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are saddling up as we speak. Prepare for the end of days.

There will be very little difference because there is no money to invest in better services. It makes no difference who is in number 10.

And your children are marched off to the re-education camp that Raynor is setting up in an ex-council house.

Notonthestairs · 24/05/2024 17:46

It makes a difference how the money is spent.
Not giving 400 million to the Rwandan government for example.

I’ve lived longer than most posters here and seen enough to point out that’s complete bollocks. The Blair/Brown government was the best of my adult life. And I’ve seen plenty of governments since I attained voting age 52 years ago. Even Thatcher would be appalled at what this shower of shit has done to this country.

They were the "best" for you because you were a public sector worker. You have to appreciate that different demographic groups are affected in different ways and that plenty of other people didn't benefit from the Blair/Brown years.

It is already.

Plus every private school will house asylum seekers and if your name is Jonty you'll be made to give your ski gear to someone on remand.

Not as silly as it sounds. I couldn't find any oats when out shopping 😮

NerdWhoEatsMedlar · 24/05/2024 17:52

Aldi had oats this morning, but if you are in Islington I presume Jeremy Corbyn has already stockpiled them.

Or maybe the rider on the pale horse took them for his steed...

vodkaredbullgirl · 24/05/2024 18:07

I've got oats, they must be at least 3 years old.

Righto.

As in, never.

I've heard that when Labour get in, self identification as a cat will become compulsory and you'll be able to get cat litter and flea collars on prescription. Private schools will be commandeered and used as free accommodation for asylum seekers. All true, Keir spoke to me through the dishwasher.
