    You mean the last 14 years of Conservative government? I completely agree that has gone a long way to destroying our country and standard of living, but fortunately this time enough people weren't too frightened to change.
    Rich mates happy? You mean like Lord Ali Baba buying the clothes for the 40 thieves. That sort of rich mate? Name one thing they have improved for the general population. Cut energy prices? No. Kept criminals in jail? No. Kept a handle on inflation by not giving unions huge pay increases? No. Frozen council tax? No. Lets hear it. What they have done to improve things for us all?

    Conservatives were another WEF disaster and I despise them as much as Labour. "fortunately this time enough people weren't too frightened to change." 20% voting for societal suicide isn't a change.

      They've been in power for 3 months, I'm not sure what monumental changes you thought they might have managed to implement in that time?
      From what I can see of their plans, there's a lot of change coming which will improve the state of our country. You disagree but that's no surprise.

        Well, off the top of my head...
        • Founded GB Energy and revived onshore wind? Yes.
        • Fast tracked rioting thugs through the courts to restore law and order? Yes.
        • Stopped the endless strikes that were crippling the country? Yes.
        There's more that I can't remember, along with scrapping Rwanda and reconsidering HS2 stopping in the middle of nowhere.

          Well we can add freezing Pensioners rather than rolling it up with a scheduled rise later in the year.

          0 day employment rights, that is going to be abused like Saddo on Saturday night at the sex club.

          Encouraging most of the 1% tax payers to leave before their pips squeak and stop paying the 30% of all tax (after services) they currently do. I wonder who will make up the difference?

          Making Cherie B'liar look restrained on freebie hunting. Quite impressive.

          Making Bojo look professional and un-bribable.

          Emphasising 2 tier justice by treating white skinned scumbags different to any other scumbags.

          Releasing early dangerous criminals that then reoffended.

          stumping up a big wodge of cash to buy off the striking workers without getting anything in exchange. Plenty of changes needed in the medical profession and train driving.

          Encouraging people to empty their pensions before the government do.

          No water companies being ripped a new one.

          Doing nothing about asylum seekers.

          not bad in 100 days!

            Things are normally revealed - eventually.

            I could've equally ended the post with "Confused? You won't be after this week's episode of Soap!" - but only those of a sufficiently long enough memory would've understood that one.

              Were you on the Belgrano with Sir Keir Starmer's Uncle? As this was the only ship that was hit by Torpedo during the Falklands Conflict I would suggest that his Uncle is Argentinian.

                Oh I remember that well. They wouldn't be allowed to show it on TV these days as the far right would be up in arms about how it was a family with different sexual orientations, and it was funny.
                …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                  His uncle was on HMS Antelope which was bombed and sank.

                  Maybe Starmer doesn't spend his time watching military documentaries on daytime TV like a lot of Reform types clearly do.

                    GB energy. You mean the expensive quango that won't actually delivery any energy to citizens. That one? The one that was supposed to nationalize energy to lower our bills? Another lie as prices went up once again!

                    Kangaroo courts, imposing severely harsh sentences on citizens without trial (and ironically from strong Labour voting areas) while freeing real criminals to make room for them. Not in my name, commie!

                    Crippled? How do worthless public sector workers cripple anything? They are useless. I never noticed when they were on strike, and won't notice if they are now "working."

                    The question was what have they done to improve things for us all. How does Rwanda come in that list? HS2 seems like a waste of money to me, but might be a good idea, why shouldn't we have high speed rail? Trouble is everything is an expensive joke that the government gets involved in.

                    So off the top of your head, you couldn't think of a single thing they did to improve everyone's life.

                    Oh they have done a huge amount in 3 months. Just none of it is positive for us. But if you can think of something that falls in the "lot of change coming" that is good, I'd love to hear it.

                    5 years of Labour (or indeed 10 years of Cons) = country done. Over. Finito.
