UK Polictics

OK I know over the decades all polictical parties have had thier idiots or strange party memebrs but how did we end up with a government with Johnson, Rabb, Gove, Grayling, Davis, McVey, Leaderson, Villers, Cleavery.

and that's just the government side.

So does anyone have any ideas how we got into this mess?

Because they know what to say to brainwash the masses. Not me though. I’ll never believe someone with a privileged background and private schooling. These people can’t possibly be able to relate to a normal working person like me.

@fairefoutre good for you 👍

@fairefoutre No, I’m really not. Good for you that you did what you did, but I’m not talking about one party in particular. I grew up in an era where trade unions were full of militant power hungry idiots who didn’t give a damn about the ultimate welfare of the country either.
Westminster is an old boys club, with over-privileged people on one side, and idealists on the other. I don’t believe any of them. Sorry.

@fairefoutre Agreed. Unfortunately what the majority feel is the right way to do things will never penetrate Westminster. All they’ve got to do is try to empathise with people during election campaigns, and then they do what they want.
And donors (the hyper-wealthy) will always get what they want, because if they don’t then they’ll just take whichever party is on the receiving end of their generous donation down.
Sorry to sound negative, but this is how it is.

@fairefoutre I’m sure it is.

@Oneofthestormboys That's so very true how can someone who's never had to worry about the next pay cheque or the next mortgage payment or when the bank statement arrives, living on a set income with no other income.

@Oneofthestormboys Well put and hense why the papers support the tories and never really critisise them like they would labour

@fairefoutre oh ok well many start as cheap labour and some remain that way. Especially in this current climate. Its not enough for two parents to work fulltime. Everything is rigged against working class.
