    I would advise anyone in any situation to always find things out for yourself. The EU’s political leaning is an amalgam of its member states. Europe is actually more right-leaning than the UK, so to call it a communist organisation is actually laughable.

    Here are the political biases of EU member states:

    Most of the EU outspends its GDP.

    It’s absolutely cooked. What is a nation state if it steals from the productive class, and gives to the lazy?

    Communism in everything but name.

    I mean just look at France. Despite highest tax burden in Europe it runs 6% fiscal deficit during good times. What will happen during next recession?

    Without deep structural reforms France will face a debt crisis. Then you have Germany and their insane climate and power policies.

    What is the term when the government steals wealth from the productive and spreads it through the community? If they aren’t communists then they will be soon.

    We need to be as far away from the EU as possible

    So, your evidence of the EU being communist is the spending of sovereign states within the EU? That doesn't seem like you understand what the EU is. What is even worse, the two nations whose spending you are calling out are both rated as right wing.

    See here: Interactive Political Orientation Map of the World - Media Bias/Fact Check (mediabiasfactcheck.com)

    The fact you think Germany's green policies are insane says a lot more about your swallowing of rightwing propaganda than anything else. God forbid anyone should have an ideology where preserving the Earth is put above profits. Ye gads!

    I do also wish you would stop using the word communist when you clearly have no idea what it means.
    I mean, even you know most of this is bullshit. I hope. Actually, carry on, bro. Enjoy your life of hate and misinformation.

    And on labour, no they’ve been beyond horrendous so far.
    James Melville said it more eloquently than I can in his article this weekend:

    “Keir Starmer’s Labour government is so far removed from the core historical values and guiding principles of what Labour used to stand for.

    It’s been hijacked by a metropolitan academic snobbery class of individuals to a point where even the name of the party feels like an oxymoron.

    It’s been heading in this direction since the Tony Blair era. Labour has become obsessed with wokeism and appear to be more concerned with patronising the very people they are supposed to represent rather than with trying to understand the incredibly difficult living conditions faced by many individuals and communities - in particular, within the deindustrialised towns of the red wall. Starmer needs to learn from the concerns within the red wall as well as pompously lecturing to it.

    A Starmer-led Labour government has immediately adopted a myopic intolerance against the people and communities it is supposed to serve and connect with. It’s the politics of misery, led by a po-faced, sanctimonious, dour, visionless authoritarian who appears to be more concerned with punishing the people with harsh pettiness rather than actually listening to and acting upon the real concerns of the people and offering some hope.

    Starmer’s first 100 days as Prime Minister have been genuinely grim on many levels. It’s hardly a surprise that his approval ratings are already tanking.”

    You said you wanted someone to tell the truth about the economy. You got someone but would rather have Farage’s lies!
    Labour aren’t the bee’s knees, but when you have to falsify points to make them look bad, it is a little sad.

    I can show you absolute proof the £21 billion black hole came from Tory misrepresentation of their spending - it is public record - but I have long since realised you only listen to rightwing loons.

    I think I read earlier in this thread that Os comes from Barking if so how very appropriate.

    This imagined black hole was noted years ago.

    Labour are telling fib after fib. The Tories were awful - but labour are scapegoating them as much as possible. They claim to be the “adults in the room” but they are corrupt children with no track record of success in any field.

    One of the worst cabinets ever assembled

    The Tory party avoided a spending review for 3 years to obfuscate the monetary issues the nation was facing. They put aside enough money for a 2% pay rise for public sector workers, knowing that anything under 5% would leave those workers in dire straits. They committed £6billion to a failed asylum system which they never ever budgeted for.
