Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Its a labour party in name only, they are beholden to business leaders and academics who obsess over things that people struggling to keep the lights on dont care about. Labour has shifted economically to the right and become irrelevant in many other areas. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 If people will vote Labour in the mistaken belief that Labour will turn things around away from the tory rich benefitting and bring the balance back to the majority then they should prepare themselves to be let down. And if you want to know how things will go when Labour are in power bear in mind that Starmer has already sided with the tories on the two child cap while in opposition. And remember how Scottish Labour were quick to jump into bed with the tories during the referendum campaign. Plus voting for a London based party will ensure the wealth will stay in the south of England. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Labour has shifted economically to the right and become irrelevant in many other areas. I've said for years that for a sizeable and politically lazy percentage of the electorate, and especially the Scottish one, that simple word 'Labour' translates into voting levels unwarranted by the contemporary party's policies. Simply not being the Tories doesn't cut it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely worry about what kind of world my wee boy will inherit because things are just going backwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was word-for-word going to write exactly that. You really shouldn't judge a book by its cover but he looks like a 'Turning Point UK' season ticket holder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunning1874 Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Labour are being investigated by the Police over their candidate selection in Croydon East, which they had to suspend in November after it was found that several members in the constituency who were eligible to vote didn't get access to the online ballot. It transpired that somehow members' email addresses had been changed without their knowledge. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously? For those not old enough to remember, Thatcher's first term in office was an absolute fucking disaster: not quite up to the clusterfuck standards of the current government, but a lot worse than anything from then till 2019. Totally crashed the economy, and it was only the same level of foreign policy ineptitude getting us into an unnecessary conflict with Argentina over the Falklands that got her re-elected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there and I don't disagree with any of that. What's probably happened here is that a group of bright young things in the Labour policy laboratory have hit on this zinger in the hope that it tickles the fancy of your average Daily Express reader. I'm surprised a model Spitfire hasn't been thrown in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
