You’re preaching for socialism to stop at our borders. Fuck the foreigners whose governments can’t afford to bail them out eh?

Regarding the French EDF took something like a 10bn euro loss to support that 4% cap. As a state owned entity they could do that. Yes our rail fares are a fucking nightmare.

I can't work out who is chatting more shit between you and Worsley Web, and your pathetic attempt at trying to play the race card in order to deflect from the worst government in my lifetime isn't fooling anyone.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure that EDF made a lot more than 10bn Euros from their UK customers when energy prices rocketed so again, your point is completely moot.

By the way, who are you voting for today?

A super majority doesn't exist, it makes no odds if you have 40 more than the rest of parliament or 200, a majority is a majority either way.

Calling it a super majority is more media nonense to claim a tory wipeout is a bad thing desperately hopefull it will make some worry enough to vote as they always do not for change.

There is a view that the larger the majority, the harder it is to maintain party discipline. Where one party has a wafer-thin majority, MP's tend not to rebel, or the whips have to work harder to keep them in line. Whereas with a big majority, an individual MP, or small group, can rebel against a measure without imperilling the government's position.

But it is rather revealing of the Tory position that their main position seems to be not to judge them on their achievements, or what they could do, but to basically admit they've FUBAR and simply plead not to be wiped out.

That’s the point. Just because someone may not have suffered acute symptoms (some even no symptoms) this was a nasty virus that killed folk. We’ve simply no idea what long term damage it’s done to great swaths of the population. Those who exhibit long COVID may just be the thin end of the wedge.

The point was that Johnson's not taking Covid seriously ("mild flu") is what killed folk.
 
I am amused by that Telegraph lunatic doommongering linked earlier seeing the Conservatives have second most seats and be the Opposition, only for 20-25 Labour MPs to defect to the LibDems and make them the Opposition instead.

I don't really see much Telegraph stuff but have they really disappeared down their own rabbithole so far that that drivel is standard.

To misquote Baldrick:
"Doom, doom, doom,
Doom, doom, doom,
Doom, doom, doom,
Doom, doom, doom."

Well to follow that indepth analysis to it’s logically conclusion, for everyone who is voting for Labour who have same policies but just promise to do them more competently I guess everyone voting Labour this time around is also a ****.

Was it not obvious that it was a joke comment. Although I actually do think it as well in this case

I don’t actually think we need to pay more tax (although a 1p rise wouldn’t bother me) the money needs to be spent better there’s far too much waste on shit.

Valid point , hopefully Labour will go hard on the fraud committed during COVID , would be a huge step in restoring some kind of public support in politicians .
