The country was also in recovery from Thatcher and the recession of the early 90s. He stuck to the fiscal plans of the outgoing Tory government and the country boomed on easy credit both as a country (PFI finance was all borrowed) and individually (self cert and interest only mortgages). All went tits due to the yanks in 2008 and we’ve been in a political and social culture war ever since Spot on. Add not reversing any of Thatcher's crimes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask, for those of us old enough to remember New Labour in the 90s, was it like this? New Labour was nowhere near this - very centrist. This is far right as I've ever seen a Labour party, and it fucking reeks! I can't make my mind up if this is actually his rhetoric, or he's shitting his pants in the wake of the local election results. Either way, he's going to lose a fuckload of grass roots Labour supporters who I doubt will return so long as he's in charge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 24799 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 (edited) Much as I love you PL am not signing up to Facebook just for this so I'll continue with the guessing game.Town Yetholm? And apologies for saying you're from Wooler. It's nearly as bad as when MF said I was Cullercoats or when I said HMHM was from Walkerville when he's from Wallsend. 👍 Edited May 16 by Renton 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 38248 Posted Saturday at 12:47 Share Posted Saturday at 12:47 While it’s difficult to have much sympathy for those who might be on the receiving end, I also think that if it was anything like as straightforward as it seems, it would’ve been done already. More worrying for me is the general trend of trying to appease all the people who are unlikely to ever vote for them anyway. Out of fear of Farage and Reform. And also taking everyone left leaning for granted. And not really getting to grips with anything. The mooted European deal being a case in point. I’d actually rather queue long at passport control, for example, as opposed to mollycoddling the people who voted leave and still don’t except the damage it’s doing and has done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 6670 Posted Saturday at 21:37 Share Posted Saturday at 21:37 For me it's not even the slippery slope, though that is a completely valid point. It just offends my sense of humanity even for legit offenders. It's like throwing in the towel on trying to better society and resorting to draconian and brutal methods in order to spare us from doing the hard yards to make society better. It's like saying "Some people are just born bad and it's not in our power to do anything about it". It's a very right wing view in my eyes, that 'evil' is something that just exists and that we don't need to understand why or address any of the underlying causes. Just put a bullet in it and write them off. It's that kind of vibe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 38248 Posted Saturday at 21:47 Share Posted Saturday at 21:47 It’s fucking bullshit anyway. How do you implement something whilst paring back the very institutions that would be tasked with implementing something this complicated? The real issue here is the government’s complicity in continuing the previous one’s policy of being disingenuous and hoying out bollocks just to create an impression of tackling X, Y or Z. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 53717 Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago On the day Farage does a speech saying Reform would lift the 2 child benefit limit, Bridget is rolled out to say "yeah well we were thinking of doing that too". Farage is playing them like a fucking fiddle. You could argue it's easy to do, he's not even the opposition so he can say whatever he likes, but fucking hell Labour look like the bloke with 5 MPs has got them fully on the run. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 6670 Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Why have Labour got it into their heads that they need to eat into the right wing working class? From what I can see on the polling data, it's the Tories who should be panicking about Farage, not Labour. I appreciate that if Farage manages to unite all the orcs under one banner then he will be fairly formidable, but he is never going to completely manage to take all Tories with him, which means he will always be hamstrung to an extent. Labour on the other hand are losing voters to their left, presumably expecting that they'll all come flooding back to prevent Farage taking over. Which may be true to a degree, but not entirely. Or am I wrong, and Labour actually are losing more voters to Farage than they are to this shift to the right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
