I first voted in 1975 and have paid attention to things pretty much since then. I’m now convinced that our system of governance isn’t fit for purpose. The whole political system hasn’t delivered any meaningful and/or lasting improvements in my lifetime. The adversarial party system, the ridiculous voting system and the over reliance on the “market” have left us without any resilience, stability or certainty in the most basic things affecting our daily lives. We need a complete overhaul and rethink about how we proceed or accept that we’re f**cked.

As someone who proudly helped out , see children from already poverty hit homes, get breakfasts and an evening meal at there school, I am shocked like many that the public sector "key workers" get threatened with pay cuts, even when my pay is below what I can earn in the private sector. I remember Thatcher taking away school milk , then causing a mess with the Unions. The word Tory comes from the Irish Language for Rogue, it was well chosen.

I mean, what has happened to our country, where Leftists are just so utterly dishonest and hypocritical about everything like this?

They would be more likely to listen to the experience of the civil service. With most of the problems, hic up etc of last twelve years, when the details come out, a memo from a senior civil servant comes to light advising against . BoJo et al just rode roughshod over the advise with all the resultant problems. So if your twenty were chosen and listen to the experience, then it might work. One thing for sure, it would be less corrupted. If ministers are not doing it for donations received, then it is for the high paid part time job when they step down.

I think that the answer to your question "how has this happened" is that the British people have been subjected to decades of propaganda from the most popular newspapers in the country, all backing the Tories. It's propaganda that brought about Brexit and it's propaganda that has desensitised the British people to lies. Anyone who doesn't think propaganda is capable of such things should have a conversation with the German people.

£9 billion is what all civil servants get paid , remember all their taxes go back to their employer , so that part is not a cost for UK ... people tend to forget that part . So only way to save £9 billion is to cut all public sector workers pay , thats cutting pay for 5,5 mil people , round 17 % of all workers are in public sector . So that would be automatically to lose 5,5 mil potential votes . 2019 Tories got less than 15 mil votes .

She's a sock puppet for the ERG. Has always been since the beginning of this parliament. She's along for the ride for whatever it is they want to do, as long as she can be PM. In return they will back her and tell her what policies they want pushing through. They know that ultimately these policies will tank her career, for how unpopular they will be, due to the effect they will have on the wider public, but they simply don't care about that. This is how disaster capitalism works. She is just the fall guy for it.

She never said she wants to decrease nurses pay. Strewth. She said over time she was going to bring public sector jobs in line with the private sector so people in the private sector who earn less than those in the public sector for the same type of jobs do not get priced out of the housing market and it was to be phased in over time. You would restructure the public sector so that new jobs would be at the same level as the private sector, phased in OVER TIME.

The queues in question were the result of the French not manning their booths in Dover fully.

I also wonder why anyone would want to visit France under such conditions.
@WolfgangVonKempelen838 Жыл бұрын
@@lloydnaylor6113 If the UK was never part of the EU open border policy (which shows that the UK was granted many opt outs and this is one of them) why do the Bexiteers constantly moan that everything was put on the UK by the EU? The answer to your question is that the French considered the UK a EU member and saw no reason to be too strict about UK citizens coming into/travelling to their country even when the British opted out of the agreement. Now the UK is no longer a EU member, so obviously the rules has change. How difficult is that to understand? And saying "who wants to travel to France under such conditions" is trying to put it on the French like Mr Rees-Mogg's feeble and poor defence was when asked the question about the problems at Dover port. Which he later admitted that is was the British government who dropped the ball! The French even suggested to have more booths in Dover but Britain declined. Get your facts right Sir.

What about all the other public sector workers ie. staff who pay benefits, working in job centres, issuing licences, food standards, tax offices, dvla, agriculture food and fisheries, education departments , etc etc the list is endless and all are classed as civil servants. The country's administration would grind to a halt without these people many of whom are only on admin level wages and many even on tax credits to top them up. This policy from Truss was absolute utter madness and would put thousands of working people in a financial crisis.

UK people: you must get organised, per electorate and vote for a candidate that can beat a Tory in the next election. That means getting out clear communications to all in your electorate that the best chance of getting rid of or beating the local Tory is to vote for X (This does mean that some people will need to vote for say Labour instead of Lib Dem or vice versa...). Educate people why, if they just vote normally, then that risks the local Tory to win. Also remember that a vote for Brexit Party or UKIP is effectively a vote for a Tory, because it takes away a vote from Labour or Lib Dem. ORGANISE!!!!!!!!!
