We had 14 years of rather rubbish government under the last lot. Yet people seemed to put up with it for a very long time.
Now within 12 months the new labour government on top of the usual complaining from the right wing media. Which has gone into over drive is facing a second summer of riots over immigration and now talk of green protesters collaborating with Palestine Action to overwhelm the police.
Neither group seems to have a clear motive. The first cannot stop immigration or people being housed in hotels. All that will happen is they will be moved to different hotels at great expense whilst the police are kept busy dealing with protesters also at expense. They will eventually be moved into housing rather than hotels so the problem will be dispersed but that’s always been the plan nothing to do with the riots
The green and Palestine Action stuff seems to be focused on overwhelming the police and little else
The current government have actually done lot of good things. Planning reform record NHS investment, stopped the first lot of strikes, record deportations, India, US, Europe deals, wage rises, interest rate cuts, record investment, reviews on everything, new regulators, I am sure I missed lots.
If you look at Twitter, there certainly talk of the government being against the people and talk of overwhelming the police and I would say a few who are actually calling for something more sinister. Some seemingly pro American / Israeli /Trump and probably some Russian or Chinese bots and some probably just far right
So what’s going on and what should be done ?
