Unfortunately politicians are under the influence of much richer people. Nobody wants to end up like Corbyn and his lot, who left a lot of empty seats in parliament. There's a couple of interesting names filling them under Starmer. Mary Creagh, formerly of lobbyists Lexington Communications now MP of Coventry. Naushabah Khan, MP for Gillingham and Rainham formerly of Dentons Global Advisors representing Gambling companies and Serco. I'm sure there's more.
How would labour have managed the COVID situation and magically prevented anyone from dying out of curiosity? Lock the country down for 3 years and borrow £10tn to pay for it? This labour govt are already proving they are somehow worse than the tories and their voters have egg on their faces.
Amen brother, apart from liking rishi They're all puppets to rich billionaire Israeli cùnts Can't say dues
Was Corbyn wrong ? Nice bloke. Cares about the people. Rubbished by the billionaire owned media The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
How are they worse ? Show me some evidence. You could get a hospital appointment within weeks during the last labour government. Dentist, etc. 14 years of Tories and we are fooked. I'm not a modern labour fan but please back up your statement with where we are now after 14 years of them thieving lying cùnts to where we were prior And whilst you at it. Explain what happened to the billions the Tories gave to their mates during covid for ppe etc. That never materialised
Jeremy Corbyn was his own worst enemy. He fought the right people (highly influential billionaires and the politicians that love them) while being mired in 70s ideology. Renationalising our water companies, our energy companies, buying back our rail networks, Telecom companies offering free broadband etc... all great ideas (Especially Energy companies with the benefit of hindsight) and all incredibly expensive to actually carry out. One of my favourites was the compulsory use of empty buildings in central London to house people left homeless in the Grenfell disaster, a practical and compassionate idea that would've horrified every billionaire in the UK. For me, the worst thing he did was casually stepping back and letting Brexit happen. Imo Labour has a duty to provide opposing viewpoints to the Farages of this world, and JC could've provided a much stiffer resistance to it happening.
You realise it was Tony Blair who opened the floodgates, not the tories? 10 million more people in the country since 1998 yet people want to bury their head and claim that’s not why there isn’t enough houses, that’s not why the NHS is crippled.. blaming the tories for having to deal with a massive population influx caused by those before them is wild - especially when any plans to deport have the scruffy bas*ards with nothing better to do on the next train down to London to protest. These people live in a fantasy world where they think we can just click our fingers and magically have the infrastructure to support an unrealistic population. Also have to listen to folk sit there and blame the tories for the housing market, go and have a look at how many new houses were built under thatcher and how many were built in labours 12/13 years that followed. And if you think only Tory MP’s give contracts to their mates and it hasn’t been happening for decades under different governments I’m not sure what to tell you mate.
So are you saying there wasn't immigration into this country before Tory Blair ? Lol. Mind you, let's face it, the country was so far on it's knees late 70's early 80's after Thatcher the snatcher (who sold off everything by the way, including council houses which has led to unscrupulous landlords ) so coming here wasn't really a glamorous proposition. In fact the British were flocking over to Europe to find work back then. Remember auf weidersein pet ? Here's an interesting article on the right to buy. Council rents soared after. So the poor got poorer typically under Tories. https://www.theguardian.com/society...argaret-thatcher-david-cameron-housing-crisis So what did the Tories do to stem the tide of immigration over the 14 years of their tenure ? The Rwanda bill lol Here, I'm no labour fan boy either but fookin hell, that last 14 years of Tory rule has been the biggest joke in history. 15 billion on dodgy covid contracts alone. Think of what that money could of gone towards. https://committees.parliament.uk/co...-of-pandemic-will-be-burnt-to-generate-power/ Boris the serial liar lol https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-65913299 Don't get me started on that other useless cùnt Truss I'm not comfortable with all this mass immigration but it isn't the root cause of the problems you suggest. It's been happening for thousands of years. I'm glad the Indian's and Chinese came over cos I love their food
Immigration has gone from net 40k a year, which was always manageable and sustainable. Last year the net migration was 685k. We don’t have the infrastructure to support the numbers coming year on year. Tony Blair opened the floodgates to all of this. The unions nearly ****ed this country in the 70’s until super Maggie slapped them about.
Of course there was immigration before Blair, but it was controlled. Labour opened the gates to mass immigration on an unprecedented scale. They pushed four (I think, may be more) laws through parliament to allow for easier migration. Don’t think anyone will argue that immigration isn’t necessary because of course it is, but what we’re seeing now isn’t. Mass immigration of folk who offer nothing, enter the country illegally and pay nothing toward the economy just take from it. Under Thatcher the tories built on average about 40k council houses a year.. under Blair it was around 500. The population could then buy those council houses dirt cheap to get on the property ladder. So I just find it hilarious when labour voters pipe up about a housing crisis when it’s the party they’re fanboying that A) opened the floodgates and B) stopped building as much “affordable housing”.
Do you realise how much the government made out of council house sales ? As well as the sales of other assets. The council estate here, the local shady fooker owns a load of them and rents them to Romanians etc for fùck sake. As for building less council houses. Well after selling most off and still having a right to buy does that not tell you something? Lol. Try looking up housing association houses You seem to think I'm championing labour up. I am not. I'm pointing out the Tories are a lot shìtter If you think we are better off after their last 14 years in I'm not even wasting my time responding
Bit of a daft comparison though isn’t it? Were we better off after labours 13 years? GDP/Wealth wise the country is certainly a lot better but other aspects we’re worse off. How would another party have dealt with the COVID set back? It’s easy for the shadow party to sit and throw stones from the background waiting for an opportunity to see where something has gone wrong and tell us all what they’d do differently when we already know the answer - as we’re now going to see the tories do whenever labour get something wrong. Can’t comment on your local estate who owns them but several members of my family including parents and grandparents all bought their council houses dirt cheap so it defo helped them. Grandparents still own theirs. All of their neighbours have been there as long as I can remember too so I’m assuming all of them have profited.
Just as a question how many of the 10 million are paying taxes and NI. And how many British are sitting in a pub collecting their State money and buying drink with it and then blaming the 10 million that came in for the problems. Everything has context and is not as straight forward as we all think.
If we’re better off because of mass immigration then why is the countries infrastructure crippled whilst receiving the most funding it’s ever been allocated? Yet it wasn’t crippled under labours beginning when the population was 10m lighter? Of course we are going to have dossers who are British, we are after all living in Britain. But maybe we should be doing something about that instead of continually allowing that number to grow through unprecedented levels of *illegal* immigration which isn’t helping is it? Where’s the common sense? More and more working class folk here are having to go through private healthcare because they won’t be seen for months if not years for procedures in a country they were born, pay taxes etc. For some reason people seem to get this idea by not agreeing with ridiculous levels of economic migrants choosing to travel half the world to come here because they get it easy that means you’re asking for doctors to be deported.
Interesting….. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/10/13/eu-to-discuss-rwanda-style-asylum-centres-across-europe/
However, the Tory Party was in power for 14 years. Agree with them or not, there were no MAJOR problems during their first nine years. Things only started to unravel when we discovered that Boris wasn't pretending to be an arrogant clown, and Liz was a new word for naive. The current Government seems to have managed to start to unravel from the first couple of weeks onwards. This does'nt bode welll for the future.
Way off there, are you forgetting they put us through 5 years of austerity from 2010? https://www.instituteofhealthequity...en-years-of-conservative-rule-done-to-britain
