Kind of gets me that Blair is off scott free, making millions on the book and after dinner circuit after a neat hospital pass to Brown just before the world went tits up. Brown has then fumbled one crisis after another with everything from expenses to Ghurkas...although he has not had luck or timing on his side. And the knives are out as the cabinet jostles to save themselves rather than acting in the best interests of us The People. Which is what I pay the f**kers for with my 40% tax.


A change of some kind has to happen but must it be Cameron, an expert at capturing the mood in his rhetoric but with no real balls or substance behind it. And why aren't the Lib Dems stepping forward with more conviction to take advantage?


I'm so disillusioned I'm about to vote Green - not a bad vote considering.


Anyway - how long do you honestly think Brown has left? I reckon less than 4 weeks.

Judging by the locals the Tories will reap the rewards. Depressing really, consistently the libdems are the only ones who make any sense but sadly liberal is becoming a swear word so the public will get what they deserve from their lack of imagination. Ten years down the line when a tory gov't is in disgrace they'll ....... Vote labour.


Pathetic.


And I'm rathe rod the opinion that brown too got what he deserves. He played the political game to get what he wanted, and agree with earlier poster saying he would put his ego ahead the good of the country or he'd do the decent thing and let the country decide, I gather we live in a democracy apparently.

Mr Ben, I've just voted Green. I'm not a usual Green voter, and I'm always torn between 'Greens are a cult' (the opinion of some) vs. 'Greens have some really good policies that have been adopted by mainstream parties' (which is true). It's a perfectly valid option in these times, as is LibDem. Anything but the two main parties.


Really, we need to change the model. Consitutional reform. And the big two will not do that.

    • The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......  
    • Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.
    • Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.   
    • @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
