University of life, me. Never did me any good at all, but at least I don’t have a loan to pay off. Which I wouldn’t have had anyway, because education was free back when I decided I didn’t need one. Would only have been three years sex and drugs are rich and roll in my case, and I did that anyway
Anyway lads, today is the day. 14 years of this **** show. From George Osborne telling us we're all in it together when he enacted the most brutal austerity measures on everybody but their rich mates, followed by years of underinvestment into the NHS, schools, housing and public services. Cameron gambling the country's future to try and stop Tory infighting and defections to UKIP, and losing. Then after ****ing it up, walking away from his mess to leave the Maybot in charge, who immediately ****ed up her election and had to rely on right wing sectarian Irishmen for support. Everybody then realised that Brexit was going to **** the country over and not one of the deals mooted would leave us better off, so she ****ed off too Cue the ultimate joke, Boris. Bumbling his way into office with his £350m extra per week for the NHS, negotiating the most woeful deal for the UK to 'get brexit done' and leaving an annual £100bn hole in the economy and then partying about it all when people were dying from Covid, all the time handing out billions of pounds to his mates and donors in botched PPE contracts. Eventually having to be forced out of office by his own MPs. If that wasn't bad enough, we then had Liz Lettuce Truss, who proceeded to wipe another few billion off of the economy, send mortgage rates soaring and tanking the pound to it's lowest levels ever against the dollar. The saviour ? Rishi a Billionaire who has continued to oversee tax breaks for the rich, whilst food banks are at record levels. The poor have got poorer whilst the rich have amassed more wealth than ever, with billionaires in the UK amassing £150bn more in the time Rishi has been in charge, but everybody else can't get GP appts and NHS waiting lists stand at about 7.5m. His answer 'Stop the Boats' It's time to send these ****s packing. please log in to view this image
I certainly want the Tories out but don't hold out any hope for the future under the new Labour government. Going to be **** just in a different way.
It will be more of the same corporate interests first and I don't think Labour will do anything particularly radical. In a way, all they have to do is not make an absolute clusterfuck of their time in office for it to be considered an improvement though.
I'd vote Labour tbh They seem like they have the most politicians you can have a laugh with. Liberals have Ed Davey who seems fun but the rest look dull. More Northerners in Labour and theyre a fun bunch. Labour wins.
most polls predicting Labour to have between 150-200 seat MAJORITY! Nuts! But no less than Sunak and his bunch of lying assholes deserve.
Based on Tory and SNP polling that's not surprising I think the 72 Lib Dems is more shocking considering they have a 10% poll average
Arguably the most intelligent post you have ever made, Ponky ... although the bar was set quite low tbf
Of course the system is rigged for the wealthy, the wealthy get elected and make the system. Who else they gonna rig it for? Us Peasants? An absurd suggestion!! Life as a politician is basically finding out how to get the most for yourself while looking the least bad possible so that the peons dont rise up and revolt and throw you off the gravy train. It doesnt even matter if you ARE bad, as long as someone "badder" is around to take the heat off you. Thats why Sunak was able to coast by and steal a place on the front benches while all the attention was on Boris.
That's why they were so frightened of Corbyn, because he would have pulled the rug out from under the wealthy.
Politician is a **** job and amongst most kids and people in education is like the 4th or 5th job on the list for most people. It's why the quality of financial experts in London is high and the guys in the Commons is atrocious
I have noticed this. Most people who stumble in to politics are failed people in the financial market, Farage being a prime example. They aren't smart enough to be entrepreneurs so they stumble into politics.
