Seen a thread on Facebook along similar lines that really they are all cut from the same cloth nowadays.  Nearly all self-serving narcissists out to line their own pockets and really dont give a toss what the public want/need. Just as dangerous in the UK is how apathetic the voting masses have become.  

I reckon that this was all inevitable once they had successfully smeared Corbyn.

Or just list every single party leader from Blair.

You could pick any policy at random with a photo picked at random and you'd just say yup sounds about right.

 

Maybe we should just make labour/liberal and conservative rosettes shades of grey to avoid confusion ?.

To be honest Mark I’m no fan  of Corbyn but I’d say he has more honesty and integrity than Starmer will ever have.

Whilst most of what he did stand for was utter lunacy, it was generally consistent lunacy.

 

The ISO 9001 of politics, we produce certified and consistent repeatable shite.

Well if granny hasn't died of the cold, the cost of the pneumonia medication might just finish her off.

Everyone should have free prescriptions. 
The article you posted suggests they are on about moving the age limit to 66. What age does someone draw a state pension?

That's not what other sources say, they're saying a lack of a commitment means they could say everyone has to pay including the elderly to give yet more money to their NHS cash cow!.

I think this is the biggest problem,the apathy that most voters have adopted.

 

Well organised protests have a huge effect,the display of physical discord is infectious amongst other voters. This is why in my opinion the establishment cracks down so hard on social media.

 

If protests turn violent in sufficient numbers then the Politicians blood will run down the streets.Thats the way it was for a millenia.
