The Conservative Party

[Colin Bells Boots]

Cocking hell. Speakers hit puberty and his balls have begun to drop. Small step and lots more of this needed to get responses to perfectly reasonable questions and allow interested parties to read the full disclosure. You would not get away with this in a Board meeting or a meeting with investors or whatever. Gove should be deported to Rwanda for being corrupt, taking the piss and acting like a ****.

A much better solution to the problem

Or just incompetent and out of their depth.

It‘s all part of the great deregulation.
It starts with brexit and the ability - some of them call them ‘freedoms’ - to get rid of H&S at work, employment rights, and have rivers full of shit, moves on to changing rules about strikes, and the right to protest, and from there into the seat of government, where they treat with contempt, the codes of conduct and the rules and accepted norms that ensure legal and democratic government.
No prizes for guessing who benefits most from this.
It won’t stop until they are out.

Much longer than twelve years mate..... every problem that we face today can be traced back to the British public.

Edited for accuracy.

People forget that wages have not been increased in real terms for years. There are a few exceptions. Lorry drivers are probably one. But the great bulk of workers, not least in the public sector, have been expected to 'sacrifice' for a decade.

Meanwhile, uber-rich cnuts have become even more uber-rich and the wealth gap has grown massively.

The bottom line is that the great majority of workers in this country are seriously underpaid.

Evidence? 1. Many people draw UC (benefits from the state) to supplement their wages. 2. People claim they would be 'better off' on benefits. Given that benefits are at the starvation level, this proves, if true, that wages are far too low. It certainly is not the case that benefits are too high.

Give people this treatment for too long and they start kicking off, which is what we are seeing. Now on top of all that we have real-term tax rises, not least the freeze on personal allowances, which is quite subtle but will claw more and more as the years go by. If inflation remains high, I suspect it will even lead to people on state pensions (and nothing more) paying income tax in a few more years.

No wonder people are pissed off.

Do the British ever really get pissed off anymore?

 

[hilts]

Me? Yes. Its the only realistic chance of getting this lot out. Deal with any issues arising in the Labour Party post a landslide election win. Anyone not voting Labour is a Tory enabler in the next GE despite what they might be telling themselves and others.

Give it a couple more weeks

 

[hilts]

Give it a couple more weeks

I've been thinking that for about 2 years now:-)

Give it a couple more weeks

When the gap between can't pay and won't pay opens up.
