Fucking Tory Kueensberg spun it as an attack on the floppy haired twat.watched this earlier - Johnson - like most modern day politicians - was fucked being approached by and trying to deal with a member of the public not being threatening just trying to engage him in debate.

A vote for Labour at this time may well bring us 1970’s style nostalgia in the form of power cuts, mass strikes, and 3 day weeks. Fuck that!
What's wrong with 3 day working weeks?

It did.That happened under a Tory government if memory serves.
To me as a trade unionist that is a goal all workers should work towards. Thd perfect work life balance. (As long as we paid accordingly for it)

Of course it should, in the UK people work far too many hours as it is.It did.

There should be more of a work/life balance so people can actually enjoy their lives rather than be slaves to the capitalists.
Wherever a part of society possesses the monopoly of the means of production, the labourer, free or not free, must add to the working-time necessary for his own maintenance an extra working-time in order to produce the means of subsistence for the owners of the means of production.
People spend too much time working to enrich others rather than earning enough to sustain their own standard of living. Capitalists love that, they are the true idle rich.

Come to think of it, that’s a very good point. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday would suit me just fine!

Even though that happened under Heath's Tory government, which left the country in such a mess through its incomes policy, Labour had no choice but to go to the IMF when it won the election. Of course the OPEC crisis didn't help but people forget that too. Thatchers vendetta against the miners for bringing the Heath govt down led to those myths.
It is amazing how myths carry on for decades.
To be fair, it wasn’t a particularly conservative government as Heath was almost as left wing as you mate ;)

Though I know your comment is tongue in cheek that nonce Heath was hardly left wing, it is jsut that the Overton window was much more lefter than it is nowadays where such ideas were considered a little more as right wing and the likes of corbyn would be called a moderate centre leftie rather that extremist
