It does not follow that if BJ is ousted….there would be a rush to Keir Starmer.
Tony Blair wrecked the Labour Party…..along with many aspects of UK society.
I would never vote Labour again as long as I live….I would prefer to spoil my paper than vote for that obnoxious crew.
And the Tory MP for Bury who has changed sides…what a hypocrite.
He signed a bill that said if an MP changed their allegiance they should resign and have a bye election.
The people of Bury voted in a Conservative MP and now have a Labour MP.

I am the same NEVER AGAIN sadly.

My lass was a paid up party member for years, a staunch supporter…..but she is despairing of how the party has evolved.
Now she would no more vote for the Labour Party than she would show her bum at the town hall

I should think not, don't you think we have enough bum's at the town hall.

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence – that is until you get there. We have two major elections this year, State in March and Federal in May, or thereabouts. The way people are talking now it looks like we will have a complete change of government in both cases, but is the alternative going to be any better? Who knows.

Now that the waiting time between the second jab and the booster has been slashed to 3 months over here, and I believe that is the same over there, what do people think about it? Initially we were told that it was important to wait six months, then this went to five, then to four, and now it’s three. I find this to be a real worry, if six months was the criteria before, how safe is it now to have it slashed to three?

The original information we were given was that once 90% of the people were vaccinated things would be getting back to normal. Obviously this hasn’t worked, and so now it’s the booster thati is the carrot before the donkey. I don’t believe any of the garbage that we are told but it will be interesting to hear from the people who have actually had the booster in the three month’s space. Any takers?

Yes but they are just ‘bog standard bums’…..this would be a bare bum.

I really think that it makes very little difference…..it is like changing one crocodile for another one….sometimes it might be a bigger crocodile…but it is still a croc.

Without any knowledge or proof i have a feeling that under labour we would have had even more and longer virus restrictions. Then for those of us who have not bought into the green agenda what we have seen already may be mild to what labour would have come out with.

Have to say in my opinion Labour have Never bothered about the worker since that prat Corbyn was in charge and many are too thick to see that.

Margaret Pilkington · 20-01-2022, 17:30

Cashy, I think it goes back a lot further than that, but I would not dare to guess just how far.

cashman · 20-01-2022, 17:36

blair did some good stuff as well i reckon. till he sent lads to die.

Margaret Pilkington · 20-01-2022, 18:26

I cannot think of anything good that that evil war monger did.
He dismantled the fabric of society, he opened the doors to all comers….whether they had anything to contribute or not.
He made benefits a way of life….again whether there had been contributions to the fund or not.
He sent young men and women to theatres of war ill prepared and vulnerable.
He lied again and again….he was the puppet of George W Bush and he had hie eyes on getting his name into the history books….and of course that WILL happen, but for the wrong reasons.

I cannot think of anything at all that would redeem any of that.

think you could go back to the days of wilson and callahan to show if they did anything for the working man. even that is debatable and possibly wh would have to go back as far as atlee. lot including me have voted labour and ended up regretting it. a vote for them now would be a vote for even more government control, more dingy divers and such and out greening the green party. think we all know where they will get their votes from without the need of spelling it out.
