I dont think hes slagging the tories off in general Ellers. Hes just saying what he doesnt agree with or like, which as i say, is refreshing to hear rather than blindly just accepting everything.

I have slagged the Tories off on many occasions. Show me where I supported Hancock... You won't. I have also said many times in the past that I don't agree with certain policies. Some of the decisions during the pandemic raised eyebrows. However I have seen on here continual bitching about everything they do even when they get things right.
Sadly the opposition is s##t and unelectable. I thought they were bad under the hopeless Jezza but the shadow cabinet now is even worse. Even my Labour loving mate says I am right when I say they are hopeless.
So yes it is refreshing to hear objective comments from a supporter but I would also like to hear his comments regarding the opposition because all I have seen is anti government stuff.
 
What do you make of UK and Eu failing to reach an agreement on the Financial Sector creating value “enough to pay for our entire police force and our entire state schools’ system.” ?

I think the focus is on the government because they are the government. No point in commenting on the people who dont decide and make the rules.

You have said that before and it is incorrect. You need a strong opposition to hold the government to account. When it comes to elections you vote for the people you think will do the best job. It's no good ignoring the opposition otherwise they won't ever get elected. Labour have failed in just about everything under Starmer and they are simple not a credible option.
At the end of the day (and I have said this many times on here) Voters aren't stupid and they will vote for the best options. Even with all the problems with the Pandemic/Cummings/Hancock/Brexit and so on... the Tories are still miles ahead of Labour and a better option for the country. A few posters on here do not represent the vast majority.
Enjoy your day and don't worry about the government as things are getting better. :emoticon-0148-yes:

Its anybody and everbodys right to criticise/praise as they see fit. I criticise a lot that this government do and have done because i feel its wrong. I cant criticise/praise any opposition for what the government decide to do, or not do, as the case may be. You enjoy your day too Ellers. I will take your word on things getting better, whatever that implies.
 
This has really got a lot of mileage from someone making the obvious point that Galloway getting 22% of the vote wasn’t a good thing for Labour’s vote share.
