Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

Well, actually, we are. It is a bit rich that Labour are accusing the Conservatives of doing nothing even when they have already closed quite a few loopholes and are working to close the rest when Labour itself did nothing in all their years in power.. Do you really not see the irony, Den?

The fact that she said it in the first place says everything you need to know about her.

But we are not talking about the Labour party and their considerable mistakes in government as you cannot keep blaming them for all our current ills as we are talking about the last few years and the present as thus so far HMG are big on talk and stabbing each other in the back and short on any deliverance of any decent coherent policies for the whole of this country and not just the groups that are likely to vote for them.

Personally I think there's too much of this crap going on

5 years ago John says something to Fred, and now Alice finds it offensive :rolleyes:

Bill brushed his hand against Alans knee 7 years ago and now Alan complains about it :rolleyes:

An author writes a best seller back in 1964 and today the education authority condemns it :rolleyes:

Just stop with all the political PC point scoring and start working together to sort this damn country out, you're just making fools of yourselves

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

I'm not sure that you are digesting my post. I said that Labour did nothing on this for 13 years. Why, then, are the Conservatives being pilloried for 'not doing anything' (sic) when they did nothing themselves?

Labour ignored the problem completely. Then when the Conservatives get in and start the job of tackling it, Labour accuse them of not doing enough.

Flaming hypocrites! :Peace:

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

Hypocrites apply to both sides of the political divide IMO.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

Not in this case.

Meanwhile over in that veritable Utopia the likes of Corbyn and Red Ken still like to cite as the way forward when it suits:

What's this got to do with the Government and the Post Election Discussion? :notopic:

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

Jeremy Corbyn idolises the Venezuala socialist project, apparently. Look at his pronouncements and protests in that light.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

Correct - it's not to difficult to grasp for most people is it, but some folks seem not to want Corbyn's nonsense to be scrutinised. I wonder why... :D

In the days when he was a marginalised loony lefty nobody who spent his time in parliament undermining his own party nobody much gave two hoots what he thought but he's leader of the opposition now and no self appointed moderator is going to stop these questions being asked of him or his dubious politics being exposed for what they are.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

The opposition is fair-game in a thread about the Government, this is essentially the UK politics thread minus Brexit.

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

Well people are pointing to a so-called mess in the Conservative Party, completely ignoring the fact that Corbyn can't get any talent into his Shadow Cabinet because no-one with any integrity can bring themselves to serve! So who's really in chaos at the moment?

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

The Government's in chaos at the moment. If the Government falls apart and Labour is elected then it will be their chance to show the country what they're made of. But at the moment they have less pressure.
Both are totally divided over Europe but at least Corbyn believes in his party's policy of leaving the EU, an idea as useless as him. Theresa May just believes in the opportunity to be PM.

what????? he's got Diane Abbott - tactical wordsmith and numerical genius

Re: Government & Post Election Discussion
 

Yes it takes a special kind of talented genius to double a citizens imprisonment with a few words, most Labour politicians are content with just making themselves look ridiculous, any brit in a foreign nick must be dreading bozos next speech, he could literally get them killed but hey it's just Boris being Boris :rolleyes:
