Here's number 2

Abolition of the Death Penalty.

That hardly benefitted subsequent murder victims who might have lived were it not for the absence of that deterrent

"You soft southern Nancy Boy, shandy drinking,Tory bastards supporting poofter!"

Insofar as I’m concerned, I drink Guinness and my sexual inclination is heterosexual, so that would be largely inaccurate…

Death penalty has never nor never will be a deterrent. I doubt many murderers go out thinking about the consequences.

What legislation passed by the last Labour government benefited everybody?

How can any legislation possibly benefit everybody? Surely, the purpose of legislation is to restrict the activities of some, to benefit another class of people.

You completely misapprehend the purpose of laws if you feel they should ever benefit everybody.

For example, the law against rape, section 1 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (Labour legislation) does not benefit rapists.

Do you want rapists to benefit from our laws?

Do you think Labour legislation should have taken the interests of rapists into account when drafting its legislation?

Were the last Labour government not sufficiently pro-rapist for you?

Thanks for the candour. I think the clear influence recently shown by global financial markets suggest that they ultimately determine economic policy, not the government. Should Labour get into power, they will face the same constraints on policy.

No. It shows that if you sack the top Treasury mandarin, do a mini-statement with unfunded tax cuts, refuse to let the OBR do a cost analysis then the markets will assume you are a lunatic and react accordingly.

The morale of this story is don’t be an arsehole. Truss and Kwarteng were arseholes and got fucked, sans lube. Unfortunately, the country also paid a high price.
