Off Topic The Politics Thread

[Staines R's]

Ah ignore any wrong-doing as there will always be something more serious. Is knife crime and ongoing criminality a new thing? If not why is now the time? Why hasn’t this been tacked before?

In a nutshell why corruption, ineptitude and incompetence gets a free pass because people are so happy to shift the focus when it’s highlighted, no accountability, no responsibility, they must be laughing their tits off

What the **** you on about ? Do you not think kids as young as 13 stabbing each other is becoming more common and isn’t something important that needs to be addressed ? No of course not…..in your fluffy world there’s more important things like worrying about a posh Tory twat having a party…..
I sometimes dispare of numb nuts like you Wills….

The bottom line is the poor are getting poorer, and more disenfranchised.

The internet allows people to see what "they are missing".
the media encourages people to believe they could be an Alan Sugar, a Jayzee, a Kate moss.
Our urban mythology is full of people making money..in Football, music, fashion, drug barons, get rich schemes.

We have lost respect for our leaders, our elders, even our wise people.

Now is not a good time to bring up children.

Researchers at the Centre for Inequality and Levelling Up (CEILUP), based at the University of West London, found that 61% of the most deprived areas in England have not been allocated any funding from the £4.8bn Levelling Up Fund (LUF).

The allocations, made in October 2021, were intended to provide for infrastructure investment in deprived areas. The researchers found that one-third of LUF funding was allocated to areas among the 70% least deprived, as was 71% of the £221m UK Community Renewal Fund.

Thats the first source i came to out of pages. Its no secret

When you have councils spending fortunes on absolute bollox is there any surprise there isn’t enough for everyone.

Seems to be for some areas whilst others go begging. All council funding got drastically cut during the years of austerity, now giving them some of that money back is called 'levelling up'.

Problem is Bob, even during the scourge of austerity, these richer councils still found money to spunk up the wall…..the Councillers who approved these bizarre projects should be bought to task.
From ****s like Johnson buying water cannon that could never be used on our streets…..to painting a rainbow on a crossing. It’s all money that should have been spent elsewhere.
It boils my piss
Meanwhile county councillors like my own Tory claim nearly £40 grand in expenses……

It's endemic through all levels of politics, and across all parties. It's a ****ing scandal, and these ****s get away with it day-in day-out. We deserve better services from our hard earned tax instead of some buffoon wasting it on their mates latest venture.

Did I say that? No, what I said is is it a new thing? No, so why now, why hasn’t this been focussed on before? Steels posted about how gang issue and stabbings were tackled in Glasgow, this is something that has touted for over a decade with no pickup. Hey hang on both could be done at once. Everyone is happy.

There is always something more important going on in the world, however if you use that as an excuse it gives those in power to abuse their positions and get away with whatever they want, the more they can get away with, the more they’ll push it and will never be held accountable. I made that quite clear in my last post. Try reading and understanding that before you throw around silly insults.

Let it go kids are getting stabbed, there’s more important things going on in the world than a councillor claiming 40 grand…

That’s how it goes isn’t it? And welcome to the point, like it’s been said on here by everyone who are unhappy with the government’s behaviours it’s not the party’s as such that’s the problem it’s the mentality that they can get away with anything and people will find either distractions or excuses to let them off.

Yes kids killing kids in this way is new….the prolific use of knives by children to stab and kill each other without any regard is a relatively new thing….it’s happening more and more.
Luckily in your fluffy world you don’t see it.

A Conservative MP has been accused of ‘callousness’ after claiming a £1 parking charge on expenses.

Royston Smith, lodged the claim after visiting a food bank in his Southampton Itchen constituency, official records show.

I bet the volunteers at the food bank paid for their own parking!

A quid here for parking
300 quid over there for earbuds
Do mps use their wages(not that many appear to do much work) to pay for anything
Snouts in trough

Absolute bollocks kids killing kids in gang situations have been going on for years, like I mentioned the Glasgow model has been touted for over a decade, I’ve mentioned it on here numerous times I’m well aware of what’s going on.

I’ll leave it though there’s no point going back and forth with you when you’re like this, you’ve pretty much ignored everything I’ve mentioned and put a bullshit narrative that I don’t care about youth deaths and throwing out stupid insults. Shame really I was glad when you came back on here because you often give different views, opinions and ways of looking at things that pretty much everyone respects, just not when you’re like this.

Again choosing to miss everything I mentioned. Shame.

If you don’t think it’s happening more then you obviously have no ****ing clue.
As you say….might as well leave it there.

Done with you fella you’ve consistently misrepresented the points I’ve made, I’ve also noticed you condescend anyone who goes away from the issues on your mind.

Good luck

Ours is investing in ‘decorating’ a railway bridge for the Commonwealth Games, because the bowling, yes the bowling is coming to Leamington Spa, which involves closing a key route through town….for two months. Result is gridlock in 3 different directions. ****wits. And they are going to do it to another bridge as well. Double ****wits.

Johnson….party….yawn, yawn ****ing yawn

Cmon staines, you know what Wills was saying. Yes everyone is quite fed up of partygate dominating the narrative. If they hadnt have broken the laws doing so, it wouldnt be in the news would it. Ive said many times on here, look at the examples society is setting right at the top with corruption, lies, greed, take what you want and **** the rest attitude. It drips right through, poverty at unbelievable levels, food banks in obscene numbers, no wonder crime and stabbings are on the up, what chance do these kids have when everything is stacked against them.
