    In fairness that rule only applies to utter ****s :bandit:

    Bizarre how it's looney left to wanna raise taxes millionaires, multinationals and to cut out tax dodges but moderate to introduce cuts on normal people.

    The government has defended the early release of prisoners after it emerged a former inmate is alleged to have sexually assaulted a woman on the same day he was freed.

    The government have come out and justified the releases and blamed the Tories...ok I get it...but imagine how that victim now feels. Can you imagne when it goes to court, well the government had no choice, so we are sorry but not sorry. I'm sure Jess Philips will speak out about it won't she.

    Maybe we need to stop ****ing about worrying about financial blackholes, especially when we didn't seem to care about them around covid. Spend what needs to be spent to put this shhite right, it would have been available and stolen if the Tories were still in power, so just imagine they stole £50b from us and get on with spending it.

    Yep, it's the Tories fault Labour have given Aslev what they demanded and taken money off pensioners to cover some of it, it's aslo the Tories fault that they kept arresting criminals and putting them in prison, it's the Tories fault that Labour didn't know about a £20bl short fall in financies even though the OBR highlighted it months ago.
    Nothing will ever be labours fault whilst people fall for this ****

    Like I said and I said it during covid, why are we worrying about financial blackholes all of a sudden, no one gave a shhite during covid. That's stupid temporary PM we had crashed the economy for £50B, and Billions were stolen through PPE, so why not now spend billions to put shhite right, thought we were going to take this money from companies that are milking us, thought we were going to take this money from millionaire and billionaires, not take a mere £1B from the over 60's pension fund that aint going to be more than a sticky plaster, I thought we were done with sticky plaster politics, that's not blaming people, it's questioning the mentality, because that criminal that was released has just wasted even more down the drain with our sewage politics.

    I don't actually mind Keir, I just want to see a bit more radical thinking. Maybe releasing prisoners and taken heating payments is the only radical thinking we are capable of.

    Given you spent a decade and more blaming Labour for the Tories’ awful management and corruption I think they deserve a little bit of leeway after two months especially after the previous government just gave up running the country at all for a year leading up to the election.

    Good point like, I think in the 2015 election the entire Tory campaign was based upon the previous Labour government.

    That's 5 years of incessant whining the Labour Party have to catch up on

    We may need to get it back from Mone and their other donors first. :emoticon-0138-think

    I really don't see what that has to do with anything I've said. Not disputing what should happen to Mone and Co and I've always said that. The question still remains, why are we worrying about financial blackholes, no one has given a toss previously for decades. I know it makes a stable economy, but for whom, us mere plebs or the bankers and wealthy people. We don't seem to care about blackholes when governments are spunking our taxes up the wall (or thieving them). Just because you got a bee in your bonnet about the Tories don't excuse how any government deals with situations, and the guy that abused that woman did it an hour after release, total madness, and you are rattling on about Mone as an excuse for it. Lock the fooking lot of them up for all I care. As I alluded, all that release has done is cost the tax payer yet more money. And if you are going to start your nonsense on here you can fook off back to GC.

    Whoa - peace, man. I agree 100% with you re the pensioner crisis and the abysmal start Labour has made. As for the black hole, there's no more scope for borrowing without ruinous interest rate rises - that's where truss ****ed-up - unless there's deep cuts in spending and social/health care in general. All I'm saying is that unless or until we get back the money that you yourself say the Tories frittered away and gave to their cronies, the only options are tax rises or cuts, and labour has ridiculously painted itself into a corner by promising not to put up income tax at all - not even for those on £100k and above - and will rely on raiding inheritance, that will mostly hit the lower middle classes as the £325k threshold is reduced/abolished (the richest will get around it anyway). And doing away with the single person's Council tax rate will mean they never get elected again, IMO, not even by me.

    As for the prisoner releases, that's the one thing - the ONLY one - that I agree with what Labour has had to do: Sunak was criminally responsible (and I use the word advisedly) for persistently ignoring warning from the Home Office about the situation and knew before the election that in the remote possibility he had won that he too would have take the same action. My own personal viewpoint is that anyone sent down for any crime involving violence of any sort should never be released early - I'd rather they let every thief and fraudster out, tbh. (Except Mone, obviously).

    In summary, yes I do believe everything Labour is saying about the black hole, backed up now by the OBR themselves and even Simon Case, the High Tory from the inner sanctum of the last government's Civil service. I just cannot believe that Labour thought 'Right, let's go for pensioners and average wage earners first'. But before we can spend what the Tories robbed we need to get it back first - the credit card is maxed out and the only way to borrow more money is from the payday lenders at 20 points above the norm.

    I'll dob out though if you think I was being personal against you - I wasn't at all. But no, I won't be going back to the cesspit. :emoticon-0148-yes:

    No problem mate, rational post by you.

    I juust get pissed off when we can allow blackholes when it suits the banks and financial money men, and governments, but when things need fixing it's big no, no. I just lose my rational with it. Let's get building these prisons, because at the moment everyone is taking the piss out of us. I just hope when this budget comes in October the big pisstake companies and wealthy people are going to be clouted, hard. I really don't get though why we are so focused on the £21B blackhole, it's like it's being used as a lever to fook us over...is this to appease the rich so they don't fook off out the country, which is what was said if Labour get in, it's double edge sword and always those at the lower end of the scale that get battered with it, some people are still trying to get over food price rises.
