I genuinely don’t remember. I voted Labour that year.
I genuinely don’t remember. I voted Labour that year.The Tory complaints today are virtually identical to the ones in 1997.
sorry to drag this back up but for BSB, or anyone else who was involved in the debate, there's a good doc on BBC 2 tonight about this subject.Diet is much more significant than exercise.
They sell them in Iceland!
Yeah but we want them in the UK m8They sell them in Iceland!

I don't think it goes far enough, bring them back free of the restrictions on salt and with plenty of MSG
I haven't heard that word used for years.golliwogs’
He was in his later years shall we say.I haven't heard that word used for years.
So tonight I was in the company of people who said that inflation was high because of ‘all the money we spend on translators for those fucking Muslims and golliwogs’.
I can’t remember a time when overt racists have felt so emboldened. If you challenge it you’re called woke, if you stay silent the racism goes unchallenged. I chose to be called woke.
DEI was also part of this guy’s rant along with the need to fire 60,000 civil servants. He assumed he was in company who all agreed with him, which to be fair he almost wasThey genuinely believe this shit. They think we’re broke cos we spend it on DEI and translators not cos we have a metric fuck ton of pensioners.
The takeover of right wing meme pages from proper news is having some wild effects. Look at the state of some in this thread. Just ten years ago they’d have been quietly ignored as they rant in the corner of the pub.

The arsehole Tory governments of yore didn’t give a shit about those who didn’t vote for them either. The difference is this Labour government appears to give a shit about the mythical floating Daily Mail reader and nobody elseStarmer 25 November 2024
Speaking to ITV, Sir Keir said: "Look, I remind myself that very many people didn't vote Labour at the last election.
"I'm not surprised that many of them want a rerun. That isn't how our system works."
Starmer 5 July 2024
Sir Keir Starmer has promised to build a "government of service" after becoming the UK's first Labour prime minister since 2010.
Speaking outside 10 Downing Street after his party's landslide election win, he pledged to restore trust in politics and “navigate away to calmer waters”.
And appealing directly to voters who did not back his party, he vowed to put “country first" and govern “unburdened by doctrine”.
Not taken him long to show that those who didn’t vote Labour are of no real concern to him, despite his slippery lies back in July.
He has said one thing and is doing something quite different, having set himself out to be morally and politically superior to his predecessors. He is now demonstrating very early on that it was bollocks and that he is a duplicitous snake.The arsehole Tory governments of yore didn’t give a shit about those who didn’t vote for them either.

Didn’t get to 2.5 million signatories, waste of time.
From where I’m standing he isn’t doing anything meaningful whatsoever. Tinker around the edges and pave the way for Farage ‘29He has said one thing and is doing something quite different, having set himself out to be morally and politically superior to his predecessors.

It is right to not take that request seriously, but it should be ‘iceberg right ahead’ for Starmer. He isn’t using his mandate to do anything that will make a significant difference to people.You think taking people who didn’t vote for you seriously is listening to a faction of them asking for a new government after five minutes?
Sure it wasn't long ago that Sweden was being presented on this thread as a country about to implode as the result of out of control immigration
Would be very funny if EU countries crack down on immigration and Brexit Britain doesn’t.
Would be quite the money spinner, receive £25k for emigrating back out, come back again, rinse and repeatThe damage immigration has done to Sweden is staggering. To see them now actually trying to clear it up demonstrates what a mess they got themselves into.
Next time you go to Stockholm, step outside of Gamla Stan and go an have a real walk around. Biskopsgården in Gothenburg (about a kilometre from where I used to live) is another place more representative on what living in a city there is like now. It's third word.
Other than pensioners, obviously.It is right to not take that request seriously, but it should be ‘iceberg right ahead’ for Starmer. He isn’t using his mandate to do anything that will make a significant difference to people.
Me? Serious?Reading that I’m surprised at both the claims and the fact the government couldn’t present sufficient evidence to counter them.
No evidence of an imbalance between workers and employers? No evidence of businesses firing people in the first two years unreasonably? You can disagree about whether these things are ideal but

You used to be a serious poster.
Ive been going to Gothenburg on business at least once a year for about 14 years. The decline is obvious. Talk to people who live there and they'll tell you that their beautiful country and culture has been destroyed.The damage immigration has done to Sweden is staggering.

He certainly isn’t behaving in a manner morally or politically superior to the previous government, he does look very nice in his freebie suits and specs whilst he is piling on the carbon as he jets around the world though.From where I’m standing he isn’t doing anything meaningful whatsoever. Tinker around the edges and pave the way for Farage ‘29
You’re so rightSo tonight I was in the company of people who said that inflation was high because of ‘all the money we spend on translators for those fucking Muslims and golliwogs’.

Wife and I have given up on them doing anything to help during their one term in power. Might well not bother voting at all next time, governments at best do not help and at worst make things actively worse.He certainly isn’t behaving in a manner morally or politically superior to the previous government, he does look very nice in his freebie suits and specs whilst he is piling on the carbon as he jets around the world though.
My eldest Step-Son is the Project manager for a Swiss company,he covers the UK and Scandinavia,goes to Gothenburg every couple of months.Ive been going to Gothenburg on business at least once a year for about 14 years.

Do you agree it shouldn’t be given to everyone?Other than pensioners, obviously.

They can't have looked very hard. I could give them examples of both of those just from the company I currently work at!Reading that I’m surprised at both the claims and the fact the government couldn’t present sufficient evidence to counter them.
