Well as a nation we don't on the whole seem much concerned with civil liberties, and we seem to have had a procession of home secretaries who eroded liberties, locked up an increasing number of people (with little rehabilitation), and pushed through an extraordinary number of laws that perhaps suggest institutional paranoia.

Sadly, a vox pop of the public would suggest the majority of them want these restrictiosn to feel "safer"


then again, tha vast majority of the public want to see hanging restored & paedphiles tortured to death with pliers.


I dont care about JS, she is probabaly at nthe better end ofthe shitbag politico spectrum, but its tortology innit


We have moved from an era of steadfast unbending party ethos to the middle ground of bland E-Z listening MOR parties, each willing to sell its greasy worthless soul for a few votes.


I had no love for the Ole Skool Labour Vs Conservative bedrock of the 20th century, but at least you knew how to differentiate between them on a facile basis. You knew where you stood with both these shitbag parties.


Now there is more choice of essentially the same product


200 different flavours of a vanilla ice cream isnt much a choice at all.The media experts and marketeers have commodified politics and made it another product to be sold and consumed.


You vote for these scummers, you rage at the laughable expense claims as directed by the media, you think that placing your little mark on a bit of paper every now and then will make a difference


it doesnt & it wont

I'd vote for a party that abolished first past the post in favour of some form of proportional representation, and that introduced a bill of rights. Unfortunately any party with any chance of winning under the present system is unlikely to implement the former (once they get into office).

    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
