The Labour Government

[hilts]

As you’re arguing for the poor to get more benefits and multinational corporations to pay more tax then yes you sound like a lefty. As for the brainwashed aspect, you appear not to be able to understand any points made to you or refuse to read them so maybe you’re just a bit thick.

He would certainly be more left wing than the self proclaimed centrist socialists from just over a year ago on here.
More to the poor less to big business bbbbbwwwaaaahhhhh

There is literally zero point in interacting with Joe. Facts are ignored, insults are thrown and then anyone who tries to add nuance into the debate are negated as “too intelligent” for him.

I’d concentrate on your convalescence and leave the people who want to rant and rave about the same things ad nauseam.

There is no debate to be had. Lines have been drawn and if the country has enough people to have to experience the consequences of voting for these grifting charlatans, then that’s where we’re headed.

If not, this very vocal minority will head back to their local taprooms and be ignored by the majority.

These TV debates are utterly pointless at the best of times.

When Sunak is trying not to lose his own seat, it seems even more moot.

One side says their leader is better and the other side say the other.

The comments on here are pretty much the same as the other TV debates too.

I can’t comment further as I’m enjoying watching the Portuguese pensioner getting beaten by Georgia.

You posted similar to me before. These debates are totally pointless. It just gives journalists something to write about and Twitter to overreact.

It’ll be forgotten tomorrow.

The irony of this post landing under a reply by chippy not wanting to debate because someone has a “shit attitude” isn’t lost on most.

This thread is utterly pointless now as it’s dominated by 2 people calling everything and anything shit because the vote didn’t go their way.

This thread is pointless.

The next interesting thing to happen in here will be if and when buyer’s remorse begins to kick in.

You can believe what you like. It’s not going to change anything.

You just try to antagonise people. It’s a pointless exercise entering into debate with you.

Agreed. Until people are ready to have the adult conversation about it, the rage baiters will froth up the same nonsense without any workable solution.

Hence it’s pointless debating with them, as has been shown here.

Investment in infrastructure is a far bigger issue than a few thousand people crossing on dinghies, but hey, I don’t create the headlines nor rhetoric.

None of them are broken beyond repair. If they were, any discussion would be pointless as the whole country would have collapsed and as far as I can see, that hasn’t happened.

Every system can be improved always.

Being cynical is fine, but be careful about not listening to what others say as you then get in cyclical debates which revert back to your opening question as you’ve not listened to the argument. (Which is why I don’t want to debate with you)

This is hard work. I have no interest in debating with you, you’ve shown me it’s pointless.

I replied to a poster who wrote himself that in another thread.

I assumed that you’d have read both messages before replying, but that was my error. Mea culpa.

The quotation marks were showing it was a quote, not that you had said it.

Now please bore off and funsponge the shit out of someone else’s day.

They can’t see it. It’s pointless conversing with such people. They need to experience the shitness of populism.

No amount of words will change their outlook. It has to be actual pain felt.

It’s all this thread is.

It’s utterly pointless.

I don’t know why you all do it to yourselves.

The same things posted repeatedly, followed by the same insults.


Utterly pointless.

It’s an utterly pointless thread now. Same people saying the same things and then insulting each other, whilst no minds are changed and nothing progressive is ever discussed.

It’s a thread that lets people vent to make them feel better briefly, before looking out of the window and shaking their fists at the sky again.

So many words; so little point.

Standard.

I was going to do a brexit one on you but that would be very time consuming:-)

Do you ever come out of these on top?

Err.... no :-)

I'm not really that bothered about inane insults, it's sticks and stones to my mind, but what you should consider is, over the last 80 years or so, since the end of the 2nd world war, what we have in terms of benefits, isn't normal.

The norm has been a few wealthy individuals taking all the cream, and keeping their minions in poverty. It's been standard practice for hundreds of years, and most of the worlds population currently live in countries with that mindset.

It's been a difficult and, at times, bloody battle over the years to change that attitude. You probably enjoy the benefits our forefathers fought so hard to achieve for our collective benefit. It's a shame you can't recognise you are just as much in the crosshairs of right wing free market capitalists wanting to take all of us back into the grinding poverty that has been, until relatively recently, standard practice.

Take the piss out of lefties all you want, but remember it's lefties that have given you healthcare, paid holidays, employment protections, pensions, consumer rights, food standards, and much more. All of them were opposed by right wing politicians that wanted to keep as much money in their pockets as possible without any concern for the wellbeing of people like you and I, the removal of which is gaining popular support from those, such as yourself, that are blind to what is happening.

You are a turkey voting for Christmas.

The leader of Labour in Wales suggests she would like all pensioners in Wales to get the WFP as long as ey are standard rates taxpayers or pay no tax ( i.e.. getting less than £50k per year).

This is an outrageous suggestion and together with free prescriptions and free hospital parking just goes to prove they are not fit for office. Bring on anyone other than this load of charlatans!! lol

Lots of good stuff in there, the only negative is you think, for reasons that baffle me, I'm having a go at 'the left'. You haven't read or comprehended my post. I'm saying they are false socialists. I don't vote Tory or Reform.
My party is very much left of this Labour lot and their lackey supporters on here.

It’s my first post in this thread for a fortnight. His point is moot.

He’s as much to blame for the thread dying and leaving the recurring dregs that remain.

I stand by my points he so helpfully reposted to highlight what this thread has become.

It also shows when he holds a mirror up to himself that he sees nothing. He’ll be in a perpetual cycle of cynicism and sarcasm. I left that behind when deciding to step back from debating on this thread as there is no point and they just drag you down to their level.

The leader of Labour in Wales suggests she would like all pensioners in Wales to get the WFP as long as ey are standard rates taxpayers or pay no tax ( i.e.. getting less than £50k per year).

Something I advocated ever since the Labour Government came forward with their slash and burn policy against the whole of the elderly population.... off you go - do your research, I have mentioned it several times...

So if that is what she believed (tax thresholds....) why does she not introduce it? I mean she is the Leader in Wales but chooses not to implement this, yet she does support increasing the number of Welsh Assembly members by around 60% next year,

This is an outrageous suggestion and together with free prescriptions and free hospital parking just goes to prove they are not fit for office.

Excellent policies.... why do the National Labour party look and learn.... I mean Wales is the future, the way ahead according to Starmer

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Not only is it pointless for me to post anything on here, it’s also pointless for anyone else as the same things are said and the same insults flung.

Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

 

[hcblue95]

To the number that have left the country but I'm in a minority but as we were once told tens of thousands was the target then cheering because the numbers got so vast that a bit short of half a million is a result is hilarious.

But as I said earlier posters like to spin, not everyone falls for it.

Unless you actually think it's an achievement?

It's probably some sort of achievement, maybe a small one. I don't really care about immigration it's not anywhere near the top of the big issues for me, but I know it is for the original poster and for you.

As you keep on repeating lol, oh the irony.

Tbh the United thread is much more fun. :-)

Yeah, my first postings in weeks. Not really the own you think it is.

It’s been funny watching the same posters post the same things to the same points repeatedly. It’s like posters are compulsed to write the same stuff about each other. An involuntary tick, if you will.

I’ve moved house and moved on. All I’ll ever do is point out the futility from time to time.

See you in a few weeks. :-)

Not on here much these days also Alan, but it is somewhat ironic that you only come on to post the same thing about others posting the same thing. Made me smile.

Indeed. It’s intentional to highlight what the thread now is, trying others to snap out of the cycle of misery. It’s great when you’re out of it.

You can just smile whimsically at the posters stuck in Groundhog Day, perpetually moaning about everything.

Go and find some positive things to concentrate on. It’s a far more enjoyable experience to stressing perpetually how shit you perceive things are.

That’s important in all areas of life, not just this miserable subforum.

As I said, much more enjoyment can be found on the utd page.

You shouldn’t be baffled. Reform is on the extreme end of the political spectrum and your politics/attitude is also on the extreme end. You despise centrist politics and their ‘lackey’ supporters. Purity of thought and deed, no cake is better than half a cake and compromise is a dirty word etc., which are features of the far left and far right so to others there is little distinction between the two.

Additionally, your default mode is to snipe and mock which discourages debate. Scoring points or highlighting some perceived hypocrisy is more important than the issue at hand. Smug pomposity is my overriding impression based on your posts.
