    Every political party seems to be full of cnts with no consideration for anyone but themselves.
    I’m gutted for my children and grandchildren.
    The place I leave is not a place I want to leave.

    One parties voter hates the other party, and the other parties voter hates the other party.

    Until it unites together to get rid, doubt anything will change mate. Far too tribal.

    Boggles my mind when thinking of the Tories. To the point I start questioning myself, as in 'is it me who's not normal?', I don't understand how people can justify certain stuff, yet they do. Dunno. Sick of it though.

    Believe me it’s not you.
    You are either totally selfish where by you vote for the fascist tories or you are open minded and respect other and treat them as family.
    We all have that choice.
    I know where my feelings are. I have no shame.

    What I still can't get my head round is how bloody stupid they are... why not make sure you're squeaky clean?

    I think you’re simplifying it a little there, because within both the Tories and Labour there are two sides battling it out. Well, I say there are two sides, but each of them seem to have got rid of the opposition within. Johnson got shut of all the moderate Europhile Tories when they voted against a Brexit deal, totally ignoring the fact that he had repeatedly voted against Theresa May’s Brexit deal. And then Starmer followed suit by getting rid of anybody resembling a Socialist. He’s now moved on to anyone who talks about films with a Socialist and rock stars who have the nerve to criticise Israel’s government’s apartheid against Palestinians.

    After Labour complete their purge of Socialists I’m next expecting the SNP to start kicking out anyone who drinks whiskey, the Greens to get shut of anyone who likes the countryside and the DUP to hoof out any sectarian bigots.

    We are living in a world where a former President was found guilty of sexual abuse and defamation, and his popularity increased according to opinion polls. Not just this country I'm afraid, whole world's fcukd.

    Dunno if it's cos am getting old but I seem to remember a day when political or prominent figures avoided bad publicity or getting caught out. If for some reason they did get caught with a hand in the till or a d*ck in the secretary they did the (for public consumption)..
    "right thing" nowdays it appears PM's or President's don't give a f*** so everyone follows suit..
    Morality whether feigned or real was the order of the day but now you can line your pocket and your mates as well, lie, cheat and blatantly ignore the rules while sticking two fingers up and saying am not going and you can't make me......how do we change it ?

    Because they assume they won't be caught. Or, if they are, that a quick mea culpa speech followed by a short stint on the sidelines will have everyone forgive and forget.

    Unfortunately we live in a system which offers the illusion of choice - but very rarely is there genuine choice as the very system is rigged to keep out people who would offer actual change - of any kind. Need to get rid of first past the post and smash the duopoly of labour and Tory if you want real change I’m afraid.

    It will unfortunately never happen. It would need a turkey’s voting for Christmas situation for anything to change so in all reality nothing will.

    Tory politicians I hate with a passion.
    Right wing press I hate with a passion.
    But what concerns me most is the fact that labour were frightened of Corbyn. (the unions. Who serve the workers. got him elected) not because they feared his ways of thinking but because like a lot of the gullible public. They allowed the media to influence em with lie upon lie.
    Yet the biggest (proven) liar on the planet. BJ.
    was, and still is, revered, not only by some of his colleagues but public also. The mind boggles and the world is indeed fekked.
    I hope future generations can see all through the bullsh1t. And take control to serve the many and not the elite few. If some of those (not all, lots do pay their dues. But it needs to be increased) run off with their obscene fortunes (Already stored in offshore accounts anyway) . Then so be it. Start with a clean slate.

    Sheer arrogance' the current crop of tory mp's make Thatcher look like mother teresa and thats because as soon as Johnson took up office he stood for dishonesty ' corruption and unaccountibilty and unfortunately it spread through the party like a cancer and became the acceptable norm' wheres Guy fawkes when you need him.

    I get that many people have been turned away from politics by the shocking way we have been treated by governments over the last 13 years. What I don't get is the fact that the anger has been directed at all politicians and not just the corrupt feckers currently in charge. The labour party isn't perfect and neither is Starmer but I think they will make a much better job of running the country - and I say that as a member of the Green party. I know that the Greens have no chance of forming a government so I'll go with Labour, particularly because they are edging towards electoral reform - something that the Tories fear most of all.

    In short folks, get behind anyone who can beat a Tory in your constituency at the next election and let's get rid of them once and for all.
