From the people like my dad who think Labour want older people to die. I think people are massively underestimating how large the age divide in this ugly. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You refuse to take on board anything anyone ever tells you about your posting unsourced bullshit and dressing it up as fact. You repeatedly type shite that flies completely in the face of any kind of common sense or critical thought. You're a troll, and if it were up to me you'd be long gone from this site. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surprise Demise 70 Posted July 29 Farage is nowt but a scapegoater. If things are going shitty, he energises and riles people up by giving them a 'monolithic' group something to blame ('lefty loonies', the EU, immigrants). People then vote Reform because they then think if Farage gets rid of these groups everything will be all sunshine and daisies, but as we have seen from Brexit that clearly is not the case. It's the Trumpian fashion of eliminating nuance in politics and trying to establish an us-vs-them mentality. A Farage premiership would achieve nothing but exacerbating hostilities between different political factions while quality of life continues to steadily decline - but it's okay apparently because "we know it's [Insert Group Here] that's causing it and Nige has a plan to set them straight!". The man is a clear grifter and could not spare a fraction of a thought for the plights of the common person in this country. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I get the abuse and have been told I will suffer the loss of that money. The Winter Fuel Allowance is being means tested, so the only people losing out are wealthy pensioners. You're apparently a jobless 28-year-old. Explain how you're "suffering the loss of that money". 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now going back to reading about the finally delivered public sector payrises (22% doctors, 6% armed forces, 5.5% NHS staff & teachers, 5% prison workers, 4.75% police) and keeping an eye on the Fucking Olympics rather than doing the work I can't be arsed with today. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After some of my recent experiences I’m not sure Doctors deserve that. I still don’t know why I can’t look at a laptop screen anymore and I have been affected since March 2021. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bibliogryphon 9,586 Posted July 29 So there are six people* who have put themselves forward to lead the Conservative party *used in its broadest description Kemi Badenoch is apparently favourite with the Conservative Party Members and Tom Tugendhat is most popular with the population at large. I can see Mel Stride going out in the first round before the party conference with either Robert Jenrick or James Cleverly but not sure how much support TT has with the parliamentary party 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another example of you making up facts then isn't it? Yet you blame the Labour party for this one? Unbelievable. And still you don't get it? You'd have been better off had you said nothing at all wouldn't you? So would your dad. Come to think of it in oh so many examples so would a lot of us.
