Irrelevant maybe, yet here you are replying to one of my posts again. That ego won't let you leave it unanswered will it?
Just like that playground boycott you all tried to put on Os. It didn't work because you lot couldn't hold your water. One of the gang always wanted to be the one who had the last word, delivering the coup de grace on poor Os and return a hero to his fellow loonies.
Didn't quite work out like that though, too self absorbed to see him pulling the strings.
This politics thread used to be a boring echo chamber of whinging lefties but all of a sudden it's become unexpectedly entertaining. Still full of whinging lefties but now with added anger. With St. Kier the Saviour lurching from one embarrassment to another at home, the Don is taking the brunt of it. The obsession is hard to fathom, it's as if some can't be happy unless they find something or someone to be angry about. It's one thing having a cause but uncontrolled anger is a weakness that can be exploited, especially if you've been rude to other posters. That last sentence should in no way be construed as a threat but just friendly advice just like you would get from Greater Manchester Police.
Over to you for the last word.

No need for a last word from me. Nice projection.

You’re wrong.

The currency is collapsing. The birth rate of the UK population is collapsing. Quality of life is collapsing.

Expenses are going up, taxes are going up, all living costs are going up. Yet things are getting worse. NHS is awful, the streets are less safe, crime is going up.

We have the highest spend on DEI staff per capita (over £557 mil PER YEAR) on woke roles.

The state has grown to a ridiculous size and the public sector is harming the private sectors productivity.

Ridiculous energy policies make us uncompetitive on the global stage. Therefore our manufacturing and infrastructure is essentially collapsing at unprecedented rates.

We have a huge debt burden which means future generations will have it even worse than we have it.

All of the above are indisputable facts and anyone saying “go for a walk and get a curry” is living in denial of those facts. No wonder most of your opinions are wrong, you are completely detached from reality.

The reality is the UK has been run like a sport republic football club for a long time.

Which begs the question, what are you still doing here?

Amen?
 
It’s interesting really because that concept of happy is at the heart of political difference, far more than any specific policy.

The left looks forward, yearning for happiness in an imagined future that is somehow better and offers more opportunities.

The right looks backwards, yearning for happiness in an imagined past that was somehow better and offered a sense of security they feel is missing from today.

Meanwhile, life is happening here and now. And we're all missing it.

I agree with this but history as a subject is owned by the Left.

I don’t know. Most of history is right leaning politics. Leftward thought is really a very modern thing. Not so long ago slavery and racism and homophobia were totally normal parts of life. Empires were good. Savages needed God.

I know what you mean, that the intelligentsia who study history tend to be left-leaning but I think historians can be on either side of the political spectrum.

I'd much rather be progressive than regressive as long as the changes are for the good of society and the world.
