Lionator Posted 10 July 2022 Author Share Posted 10 July 2022 I still think it'll be Truss v Sunak in the final, both would be catastrophic, it's which type of catastrophe you prefer, sheer incompetence or sheer greed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NasPb Posted 11 July 2022 Share Posted 11 July 2022 I don't know if this is the right thread but it's absolutely insane that no one is talking about the fact the ex Japanese prime Minister was just murdered in broad day light (i mean it's understandable given the fact that the Uk is an absolute sh*t show more than ever). Rip of course but i just find it crazy. Good reminder that extremism isn't something one is born with, it's taught and learned and can be done so upon anyone, anywhere. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mentioned on another thread, although briefly. Terrible situation and my heart goes out to Japan. But perhaps there hasn’t been much comment because what can you do? What can you say? It read to me like some lone nutter who literally built his own gun. If so, what policy can you put in place that wouldn’t make life actually worse?

It's only really been Boris that has put off SOME tory voters but many have willingly continued to vote. But the Labour people will argue themselves blue in the face about why Starmer is too "right wing", etc etc. It's absolute lunacy, in my eyes and gives Starmer yet another hill to climb. In fairness, a lot of people were like that with Corbyn too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellend Sebastian Posted 11 July 2022 Share Posted 11 July 2022 If you're wondering why the Tory leadership candidates are going on about 'wokeism' or whatever they call it, when we touched on the leadership contest during a quick catch up with my mum, she excitedly noted that one of the candidates, who she couldn't name, was 'going to sort out all that woke rubbish' and would therefore 'get my vote'. Needless to say, the extent that 'woke issues' affect my mother on a day to day basis is questionable, but through her choice of media she is now convinced that this is pretty much the most important challenge we face in 2022 and it needs to be tackled head on.

Something that can get them votes; a topic which whips people into ignoring the real issues and focusing on the distraction. They know without that topic or buzz word, they don't get the same amount of red wall seats as before. 'Wokeism' and/or trans rights appear to be the easiest targets. They won't mention the cost of living, or anything else which directly impacts us daily. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not accusing anyone just feels we like in such a polarized world that a top leader getting murdered in broad day light ain't even mentioned.

Fazzer 7 Posted 11 July 2022 Share Posted 11 July 2022 All the labour people, politicians and supporters alike think they have the answers. They haven’t. They will most likely win the next GE then we’ll see what they’re made of. The probability is that they’ll be just as much incompetence and by the end of it, the country and economy will still be in a mess just as it is now. This morning the dopey Ashworth was on, saying that tax cuts would be irresponsible during an inflationary period. Er isn’t he the one who just a few weeks ago was screaming about tax cuts.

This morning the dopey Ashworth was on, saying that tax cuts would be irresponsible during an inflationary period. Er isn’t he the one who just a few weeks ago was screaming about tax cuts. Ashworth is arguing against corporation tax cuts - companies making millions as it stands before any further financial benefit. He argued back in March about the effects of Rishi's proposals and rising tax regards pensions and universal credit. Ie. promising Income Tax freeze in two years time but then rising taxes in the meantime. In much the same way, the cap/bonus on national insurance in reality is equal to the increase in NI. So average Joe is worse off. In the past few weeks, he was arguing for a VAT cut and indirectly a cut in petrol/food bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's give it a go and find out What I always find fascinating, particularly in my industry, is the large anti Labour vibe yet the late 1990s were a total boom for the industry. The increase in living standards, how construction workers started to establish their own companies and how wages for tradesmen started to level up with the introduction of the minimum wage at the core of it.

All opposition parties have big up their credentials. What would you expect them to do? shows what a shambles the Johnson government has been that a GE could even be discussed with 80 seat majority.
