Or Sunak or others kids actually having to ever do it.Or ability.

There is basically fuck all difference between an 80 seat and a 200 seat majority.Tories crying about not letting labour get a super majority and still going heavy on taxing everything that moves under labour , dont recall them crying over their eighty seat majority and taxing , well everything . Cant wait to see the back of the snivelling cunts

Poverty certainly does breed crime, violence however I’m not so sure about the link. Studies in the US showed that in the early 1930 violent crime rates actually fell during the depression, likewise during the financial crash of the late 2000s. The perpetuation of the it’s tough on the streets, kiddie gangster shit you see on social media has had a serious impact on behaviour, even amongst those from non disadvantaged backgrounds.Poverty breeds violence and crime.
Read about the 19th-century 'scuttling' gangs in the shitty parts of Manchester.
Of course, it doesn't help that the criminal justice system is on life support. Due to - guess what? - Tory cuts. See also the Youth Service, Surestart, you name it.
Treat people like shite - 'welfare' cuts, poor NHS, poor schools, poor practically everything - and they will react in ways you don't like. What's more, the Church, which used to help with social control big time, is virtually out of business.
Oh, and lionising greed and acquisitiveness hasn't helped either. You see you're 'nothing' unless you have a big car, a big house, massive salary. All the stuff these kids can't hope to get legally.
I think of it as ‘hyperbollocks’"Supermajority".
Another Conservative buzzword that means precisely nothing.
Don’t you think that some sort of “citizenship” course or national service, call it what you like, would be a good idea in this country?
There are lots of young people with zero respect for themselves let alone others and this just might be the best thing that anybody has suggested.. IIRC I worked with some German colleagues in the recent past who did some sort of National Service and they were all for it..
It doesn’t even need to be arms bearing, that could be optional.. the service element is the key thing, learning about respect and giving something to society.. they could use the manpower to help with community projects while giving those who take part some vital life skills…
Quote of the week at the end there…….
‘I don’t want to mislead’!!!!
What’s your name this week grant??
"Supermajority".

10 days, 10 beautiful days to contemplate the Tories being out on their arse.
Yes, so it means nothing in the context of our politics.Supermajority has a pretty well defined meaning - it’s just that in British government nothing requires one.
I think the problem for the conservatives is that for every person they scare with the idea of a Labour supermajority they get 3 people excited about actually wiping the Tories out…

Huw Edwards has fallen almost as far as the Tories since 2019.Maybe the Tories should have done a better job rather than cry about who’s voting for all the other parties. If they get the smashing that is predicted in this election this will be some fall from grace. I remember John McDonell being on the BBC news when the exit pole came out predicting a heavy loss for Labour in December 2019. Think it was Hue Edwards that outlined to him that the size of this loss for Labour they had already lost the 2024 election as well. What a collapse if it does happen.

Perversely, a smaller majority can make a party more radical, as extremists in the party may hold the balance of power.There is basically fuck all difference between an 80 seat and a 200 seat majority.
