Will i see a decent government before i die?

I must confess before we go any furthur that I just made that post so I could say the line about Sutcliffes hammer.

Forgive me.

Seeing as everyone has avoided this subject since the Tory scum got thrown to the wall, I'm wondering what the next 5, 10, 15 years of government is going to look like now we have the SLOP (Slightly Less Offensive Party) in charge. Will things change? Will I stop being ashamed to be British? Will I fuckin die before the fruits of our Labour are reaped?



Does anyone really care?

I hate to be that constantly depressing guy but... as long as everything everyone does is about money... no. Probably not.

Funnily enough I’d say Reform have no good ideas and are nuts on everything.

I think at one point Farage did say that they'd raise the personal tax allowance to 20k, and / or take people on minimum wage out of tax all together.

They did not say how they would make up that deficit though. Cant see them taxing the rich more.

So quite doubtful they can be trusted to follow through on that one, if they do become our next government.

Palestine Action’s proscribement as a terrorist organisation has been ruled unlawful by the Supreme Court!

Which means I can now legally say that I fully support Palestine Action and all who sail on her ❤️

Up the PA!!!

Glad they're no longer proscribed, because apart from a few stupid things they haven't caused any harm. And I don't believe in banning groups who aren't a tangible threat.

They do have a worrying pro-Hamas faction though, and with their membership being on the younger side, I dread one of them doing something dangerous.

It's a great idea. Strangely it was booed on question time which is a bit odd.

How exactly do we finance that 'great idea'? It's easy to make those promises when you're not in power. And despite them winning the odd seat, Reform are far away from power.

No different to a lot of other promises. Plus we are only talking about reducing tax for the lowest paid , people still end up paying tax after the threshold, and we have other tax payers...I don't think it will cost as much as you think. But it will be great on those who are struggling

Do you actually think they'd follow through with it? Effectively it's the rich subsidising the poor. Farage would never win on that ticket.
