UK in 5 years

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Honestly hard to see the positives, the negatives seem easier to point out:
- They'll have slowly started charging for things on the NHS, small at first just to begin 'normalising' the transaction of money for healthcare. Even something small like charging small amounts to use A&E. Medicines will most definitely cost a lot more.

- Racism and homophobia will spike as right wingers will feel vindicated by the prime minister past comments, already seeing it on twitter with leeches like Katie Hopkins clinging on to the Tory party.

- Homelessness will still be a huge issue and lots of people will still be dying on our streets. Let's be honest they've done piss all so far, so don't see that changing.

- Brexit will still be ongoing, we'll have left in a sense but there will still be things behind the scenes that they haven't sorted it out.

- I think a lot of the working class who voted for them will realise once Brexit is done that this government will do very little else for them. Especially in the northern towns.

- One of Scotland or Northern Ireland will leave, maybe both.

- Food banks will be normalised more than they already are, becoming business like, sponsors etc...

- Immigration won't stop and those that wanted that from Brexit will be disappointed. Our immigration will just come from further afield now (Asia and Africa).


Alright some of that is probably excessive but all are avenues that I think have been opened up now.

Ooooh jeremy stop it

That’s true, my feeling though is the Scottish people will look at Brexit and be smart enough to know this would be even more complicated.

perhaps. Time will tell.

Not as ridiculous as assuming behaviour due to characteristics whatever they may be

I shall leave conclusions up to fellow bluemooners, but how many of these labour leaders were toffs?
Atlee educated at leading public school Haileybury
Gaitskell...Winchester ffs!
Wilson....Wirral Grammar
Callaghan...Portsmouth Grammar
Smith....Dunnoon Grammar
Blair....Fettes (the Eton of Scotland)
Corbyn.....Adams Grammar Newport (highly selective).
Only leader to go to comprehensive was a tory ......Haigh....Wath Comp.

You missed off

hardie
Henderson
Barnes
MacDonald
Adamson
Clynes
Landsbury
Morrison
Brown

Plus the answer is none btw.

Some were from well off middle class families but why you think someone getying a scholarship to a grammar school like wilson did sudenly makes him a toff I'm not sure.

Atlee, gaitskell and foot were from decent enough off backgrounds and political families.

 

[KS55]

I didnt have enough recall to list them all. I don't know what constitutes a toff. Meaningless to me, their actual political stance is what counts. Look at Atlee.
I am, of course, a toff, but I dont use my title here, dont cha know.

Not sure it is excessive. That’s pretty much how I picture it.

I think the economy will hold up as new trade deals take place and more industry is privatised. Inequality will rise further as a result.

The only improvement I can see under Boris is I think they will invest in more police.

Well he needs the police to his dirty work

You need a lie down or a good drink.

Seen them do it before mate. Orgreave is a name you should look up.

As for a good drink, saving it for Arsenal tomorrow

 

[Bigga]

Not all that different than now.

Slightly more divisions, poverty, drugs, homelessness. Violent crime, greed.
Worse health service for certain. Jocks gone, less european workers, more immigrants from outside EU, therefore more racial issues. No credible political opposition to the repugnant lot who just won.


A thoroughly unpleasant place to be stuck in unless you have money and my advice to anyone who possibly can is get out and never come back to the fucking shit hole.

I can say with absolute confidence that it would be much much worse had Corbyn won.

"With absolute confidence"??

You can predict the unknown unknowns now?

I've heard it all...

 

[purplenose]

Sorry to say yes.

Give me an example of how I am wrong on that one?
How on earth was he going to finance all these wild promoses for a start.

Where on earth was he going to put all the people he was going to let come? Ask Vinny to sort it?

The list is endless, i have disabilities as you know and i am royally fucked now the tories are in, other half convinced she will die on a trolley in leighton hospital when we have to come home.

Its an absolute nightmare but even we could see things would be even worse with the utter madcap ideas the Corbyn regime had in mind.

What about the armed forces? What about the economy?

I would love to see a centre Labour government not built on greed and pandering to the rich. What about the fact he would have caused even more toxic divisions.

Do you honestly believe it would have been anything other than a disaster?

Do you deny that he was a far left?

Far left or right makes no difference they wont work and will cause division and hatred and will take the road to hell.

So yes absolute confidence as sure as it will piss down in Manchester this week.
