Quoted from Maringer
NHS is absolutely on its knees as well as social care. I'm currently waiting for a telephone consultation with a specialist - my last one (telephone consultation as well) was almost 4 months ago, when I had almost no symptoms. I had an MRI and other tests over two months ago since when, things have got progressively worse. NHS website says, 'You should see a specialist within 2 weeks of being referred'. I waited 4 weeks for the first phone call, 6 weeks for the tests and now another 9 weeks until the second consultation! I despised these flipping Tories on behalf of other people who were suffering so much under them and I can tell you, being on the other end of things doesn't make me like them any more.

Absolute vermin.


How’s the Labour run Welsh NHS doing?

"Stop the Boats" is this years "Get Brexit Done" and they are hanging their hat on that slogan, hoping the same xenophobic, racist simpletons fall for it and vote the fookers back in again.

Only this time it won't work, because enough people have finally cottoned on to the fact that after 13 years in power, the Tories have just about destroyed anything of any value and picked over the bones until there is nothing left for them to pocket.

Sunak is a pathetic busted flush, voted in by a tiny minority of the Tory Party faithful. As bad as Boris was, at least he fought and won an election. Lied like fook to achieve it mind.

Get your heads out of your ar$es people. Asylum seekers are not illegal immigrants. They don't get phones, cars, houses, or even money to spend. They get stuck in terrible accommodation and are given food vouchers. They are mostly desperate people looking for the milk of human kindness and they get the fooking Tories. The most heartless, gutless bunch you could imagine, and a surprising amount of them are second generation immigrants themselves.

I feel ashamed for my country at the way this government conducts itself.

What a load of bollo'x.   How many households in Grimsby exceed £1million you cantankerous bigot


Except it isn’t is it? It’s backed up by statistics from official sources. Unlike the absolute guff you regurgitate from whatever right wing toilet you get your opinions from.

https://www.if.org.uk/research.....ionaire%20households.

You exemplify the sort of thick, bigoted generally older idiots within the population who have repeatedly responded to dog whistle tactics by the Tories allowing them to keep power for so long.

This is a load of nonsense isn't it? Illegal immigrants can't claim anything because, and the clue is in the name, they're an illegal immigrant. Seeking asylum is not illegal and if the Tories hadn't decimated the public services and civil service their applications would be processed far quicker. That would have a two-fold positive effect. Firstly, we wouldn't spend so long and so much money having to care for these people from desperate situations before they can start living properly and secondly we could get them working and contributing to society as well as paying tax. Unfortunately it's much easier for the government and their buddies in the right wing press to make the stupid in society hate and denigrate these people (the vast majority of whom have never and will never do anything wrong) rather than admit they've destroyed the system that was in place.

As for bemoaning the pensions in this country, you do a lot better on a pension than you do working in the public sector which has seen a real terms massive wage drop since the Tories took charge. Even now, they ensure that pensions go up in line with inflation and leave the people in work to suffer with either wage freezes or insultingly low increases that are far below inflation. They do this in order to keep the votes of all the older people who are stupid enough to keep them in power. It's laughable really, in 2020 27% of the population that were over 65 years lived in households with wealth exceeding £1million. That number had more than tripled from 10 years earlier as the boomers started retiring. So they don't all need that bump in income above inflation but they'll take it anyway and leave the nurses to have to keep using food banks. But like I said previously, they're the most selfish generation to have ever lived.


Although I broadly agree with most things you say, and that the state pension is being increased by percentages that other people in society can only look on with envy: the actual starting point of the pension is pathetically low in the first place. The current full state pension, which not everyone gets, is a paltry £203.85 per week and big percentage rises don't have a massive impact on a low starting point.

Nobody living on that, and there are plenty, is having a whale of a time and living large.

It is estimated to rise next April to £221.00 per week and will be getting precariously close to the tax threshold. I'm due to get mine in 2025 and I don't expect to be living a millionaires lifestyle. It's pathetically small compared to other western European countries.

I'm lucky in that I bought my house when they were relatively cheap to buy, but unless I sell it and live off the proceeds, the value in the property is irrelevant. I have to live somewhere, so I either downsize to a small flat and have a few bob in the bank, or I rent and see the proceeds dwindle rapidly.

I'm a boomer, but I'm not swimming in cash.  

Either way, I wouldn't vote Tory at gunpoint.

I agree entirely Ginny - I also wouldn't vote for the shower of two faced backstabbing shite we have in power at the moment. I just wish we had a party we could trust to at least try to keep to their promises

I think you can trust the current Labour bunch to keep their promises. Unfortunately, they are promising to be a bit like the Tories, but not quite as bad and do it in a nicer manner.

We're doomed!

The government reverted to creating problems and then saying they’re the only ones that can be trusted to fix them.

Immigration a problem? - after Brexit the visas given out by this government has led to quadruple the amount of people coming in - but apparently only the Tories can be trusted because they’ll “stop the boats” - even though the boats account for around 50k of the 750k that came in this year.  Oh and their grand plan is to send 200 people a year to Rwanda for 240 million - intercourse off

Inflation a problem? - it’s halved but is still not below the levels before Liz Truss’ abomination, so they’ve not even rectified their intercourse up.

NHS on its knees? - we’ll hire more doctors & nurses (honest) - locally it’ll take 5/10 years to train them but in the mean time we’ll block foreign doctors families from coming over to make us way less attractive.

They’re not just a badly motivated government but they’re also bloody stupid if they think they’re solving any of the problems they created.

Absolutely correct.

It’s dog whistle propaganda politics that, unfortunately, too many are prepared to swallow. The day they’re kicked out can’t come soon enough.
