It would be funny for that very reason. After all

you mention above they are still better than the alternatives. Everyone is so sure the Tories are toast, we’ll see. 

There is nothing funny about screwing the country and tax payer over. I mentioned the alternatives are diarrhoea in no way do I suggest that the conservatives are better.

You are probably right in much of what you say, but for those who see some sort of Labour white knight coming to the rescue  there is an abundance of recent history to prove that may not be the case. Millions of us remember the last time Labour was in power, that’s just a random article chosen out of many that popped up from a quick google search. Blair/Brown did a huge amount of long term damage to the Labour Party and I think many look at Starmer and see much they don’t like nor trust. Myself I live in hope that badass Ruth will ditch the lords and  make  a comeback.

We have a right wing media largely owned and run by Rupert Murdoch, why are you surprised?

Right wing media 🤔,you think so ??.We obviously look at things from a differing perspective, I wasn’t aware I expressed an element of surprise.

That what you use?? 
I’m happy to use my own judgement, it’s seen me ok over the years. Particularly the last 2-3.

Yet you voted for the party responsible for the last 2-3 years in the first place.

Great judgement that 😂

That’s a decent attempt at a derail but anyway yeah  I did as it happens ( and unless there’s a valid alternative will again)as did the majority 🤷‍♂️it’s called democracy. As for the actions of the last 2-3 yrs as I’ve said dozens of times the opposition parties called for earlier more stringent and long lasting restrictions in regards that one particular topic.

The judgement in that particular reply was as im presuming you are aware a reference to being able to look at a media source and make my own mind up. Try the conservative twins on you tube, that’s worth a watch. They are most definitely right wing. Back to the media, I’ve watched msm tear into the current government relentlessly for a good few years now as is the way of such things, it seems strange as soon as they switch to scrutiny of Starmer it’s because they are “right wing”
