The Conservative Party

[halfmist]

Good grief.

If "steady as she goes" means reducing class sizes, getting rid of NHS waiting lists, etc etc let's have it asap. If you think Blair's government didn't make a significant difference, either you're too young to "recall" it, or you're just another Tory in denial about what your self-serving corrupt nasty party has done.

FactCheck: Labour's election pledge cards

Did things only get better since Labour came to power in 1997?

As I said but you seem to be struggling with it, I am genuinely not bothered who is in power. I stand on my own two feet and don’t expect the State to run my life for me.
If polls are correct, then we will see a change in Government.
What I can guarantee is within 6 months the lefties will be on here moaning about how slow things are changing and the rich Tory scum have not yet been rounded up and shot.
Also, within 12 months Labour will be saying, all the non doms with any big money have left and the 3 billion we were going to raise from them has only raised a couple of hundred million so I am afraid you PAYE plebs will have to make up the shortfall On spending commitments we have already made.
I am dying to see how Starmer reacts to pay demands from the Unions to make up for years of shortfall from those nasty Tories.
Time will tell if I am right or not, but it will liven up Politics which has gone a bit stale.

A steady ship is better than falling down a sinkhole.

But the lefties don’t want steady, they are impatient for revolutionary.

 

[halfmist]

If they lose 4 more by elections in 6 weeks they'll have to call a general won't they? It'll become too big to run away from and buy time.

Why, ? , and why would they.

I always wonder why we pay politicians to purely avoid any questions on the NHS
and health of our people David Cameron on the stand. He is more concerned with GDP than a pandemic.

 

[halfmist]

On ce this period of extreme politics is over again I might start voting. I'v yet to see what Cons are offering (Its not Sunak or any of the shisters they have now) but Labour are looking like an actual political party that might, might just start to run the country for the best and not themselves. Im not a big fan of starmer, he seems lightweight, we' l see.

He did what most politicians do on the Today programme this morning, ducked the question and gave pre prepared answers to the questions he wanted to be asked.

Without GDP there is no NHS

Us lefties just want fairness. Not a party that will expect us to accept the Cameron levels of austerity to pay for the Tories mess.

Punish those cunts, not us.

You must know by now there is no such thing as fairness in the big wide world. That’s just politician waffle speak, you won’t get anyone to say I want to live in a world of unfairness vote for me.

 

[Kirkstall Blue]

Without GDP there is no NH

Without a functioning NHS there is no one left to create the wealth, Cameron admitted “we were not prepared for the pandemic” health must be first before money imo.

I just hope all the recommendations from this enquiry will be implemented who ever is the Health minister
Hunt reorganised the NHS health boards he will be answering questions from the enquiry.

 

[oldius]

The Conservative government buried the Cygnus Inquiry, in 2016. Its findings were very clear: the UK was ill-prepared for a major health outbreak, especially in terms of PPE. THE REPORT WAS HIDDEN AND ITS FINDINGS NOT IMPLEMENTED. In simple terms, the government placed politics over life itself. How often have you even heard about this?

 

[TinFoilHat]

I just hope all the recommendations from this enquiry will be implemented who ever is the Health minister
Hunt reorganised the NHS health boards he will be answering questions from the enquiry.

Hunt as Health Secretary vetoed a pandemic plan saying the costs were too much.

He should be fucked for that alone.

It’s not really that polemic. There’s plenty in the centre that don’t want extremes.

To some it is….

Actually, I thought that was Thatcherism. Life is unfair, poverty is a personality defect, and it's perfectly fair for the rich to get richer. Vote for me.

Labour have turned out to the voting this after, tory benches empty , cunts , vote them out ffs people

Probably no issues with average child obesity around there in that case.

That’s not true at all. The largest economy in the world doesn’t have an NHS

 

[Kirkstall Blue]

Thatcherism a selfish society that I can sink or swim by myself all about the individual if I’m born handicapped mentally or physically of low status that’s where I will stay it’s your birthright
Privatisation of all the essential services led to the rich getting richer selling off the collective assets we all paid for via Tax and insurance so there is nothing left of the society that dreamt of equality for all

That’s not true at all. The largest economy in the world doesn’t have an NHS

Is that the USA the land of the free where sleeping rough and crime is far worse than our country and if you can’t afford a doctor your health suffers.
This is not about what other country’s do, I love this country and what we once had is largely lost, having a health service free and fit for the future when a Pandemic hits is a top priority IMO
