Suella Braverman - sacked as Home Secretary (p394)

I’m still not understanding what she is saying with this ‘multiculturalism’ stuff, surely she must look in the mirror and her household every now and then. Are these just hollow words made up by the hard-right spin doctors or is she just fucking stupid?
Yes.
 
This country's voters clearly have a dire choice at the next general election.
There is a Tory party mired in chaotic policy u-turns and financial mismanagement, interspersed with regular ministerial misdemeanours.
Desperation might send voters in the direction of Labour, a party with no less baggage, for example whiffs of anti-Semitism, Corbynism and trade union cronyism. Labour also an inbuilt outmoded philosophy of socialism, and the deluded economic policies born of this.
In my lifetime, post-war, every single Labour government has ended up bankrupting the country's finances. Immediately post-war; Attlee's administration. Then another Labour govt in the strike riven 1970s featuring Wilson and co. Finally, the last time out for the Labour nag, ridden by Blair/Brown, that belly flopped, leaving the finances in ruins and the Treasury with the now infamous note "There's no money left!".
A Labour government elected now would be no different; in hock to the unions, unrealistic economic policies together with the budgetary restraints of a lottery winner.
The voters' dispirited eyes may drift down the list to the Lib Dems, hapless nationally, maybe not so at local level, where the memorial clocks will be fixed and the councillors will be seen out and about. On any measure, given the appalling records of the above Tory and Labour deserts occupied only by political and economic ineptitude, the LibDems should be elected with a landslide majority that Jo Grimond could never have dreamt of!
However, the LibDems are mired in vague policies, prevaricating, nothing definitive. Drifting along leaderless and rudderless.
There is a desperate need in the country for action and decisiveness. A desperate need to restructure, at the very least, the 'broken' NHS - it was 'broken' many years ago!
There is an energy generation crisis and the Lib Dems have been, historically, vociferously anti-nuclear power. Hesitation and cancellation of construction contracts to build nuclear power stations has proven to be calamitous.
Hard and fast decisions need to be made on the horrifically expensive, but fruitless, HS2 rail project.
A future government will face no less hard decisions on taxation, runaway government spending in all departments, and the continuing ramifications of the appalling Brexit vote.
Hard decisions, decisiveness, no fudging, can we depend opon a party that likes to be all things to everyone?
UKIP? Elitist nationalism harking back to 1930s Europe. The Brexit disaster was born there.
The Greens? Utopian dreamland, including a nuclear free world of plentiful cheap non polluting energy, and everyone cycling everywhere. These 'flower power' people belong to the doped up San Francisco of 1968.
To hell in a hand cart? The only choice voters seemingly have is in which hand cart to take that ride!

Fairly sure you’ll vote Tory anyway. You’ll be looking for an excuse to ignore the last 13 years of corruption, sleaze and total mismanagement of the economy by pretending, with no evidence to back it up, that everyone else will be worse.

I wish people would just be honest and own it if they want to vote Tory instead of doing this dance where they have to prove the entire rest of the world is just as useless and/or corrupt to justify their position. Nobody of sound mind really thinks that way.

Oh dear ...... you lost me at the 3rd paragraph

IMG_1806.jpg


you've been reading the Mail & Express haven't you? The NHS wasn't broken until 2010 ... in fact it had the largest investment and the lowest waiting times during the Blair Government.

Brown signed off the building and financing of 8 nuclear power stations before he left office. A policy not progressed by the Tories.

The 'no money left note ' was a joke played by the majority of Chancellors since the end of WW2

Every single Labour policy put forward at the last election was fully costed.... even the nationalisation of Broadband which would've saved the UK population £20 billion.

I agree with you about HS2 ...... Should've been cancelled long ago but the Tories cant make a decision.




Every crisis we now face is as a result of Tory policies and / or their inaction.

I think if your primary concern about Labour is the performance of the economy and you are genuinely open minded it would be worth you having a look at the research in relation to Conservative and Labour governments performance in the area of economic management. It's quite hard to measure as there are so many variables but nonetheless there is simply no data to support the idea that the Conservatives are better able to run the economy, if anything the opposite is true. Their reputation in this space is really just extremely good branding on their part but is based on no substance whatsoever.
