[fender62]

great article that i agree with, it's a total mess.

where have the Tories gone? Into their natural positions of power, of course. Ask TTT, he'll reassure you that all is well.

[jno]

actually what we need to know, since Littlejohn lives in Florida, is whether he voted for De Santis or whether he stands with Trump.

[davebro]

Where he lives doesn't determine if he's right or wrong (ask gully).

Littlejohn is damn right & it's a crying shame that'll take some fixing if it ever can be fixed.

History repeating itself.

[1ozzy]

Should we learn from history?

[emmie]

we never do 1ozzy

[1ozzy]

How shameful is that?

[emmie]

it is i agree, after the war to end all wars, was repeated 20 years later.

tories like littlejohn remind me a bit of communists… they keep insisting it’s not “real” toryism and things wouldmbe great if only “proper” tories were in power….

but it isn’t true. there is a gulf of difference between people who have conservative ideas and the tory party… and there has been for a very very very long time… these are the tories as they are… cruel incompetent and corrupt.

[emmie]

i don't think the majority are cruel, corrupt or incompetent. with the pandemic, the rollout of the vaccine was fairly quick in comparison with other countries, and the oodles of cash given out during the pandemic has propped up many a person/business.

[emmie]

is Rishi corrupt or was Liz Truss, no i don't think so

[naomi24]

I think they’re trying too hard to be everything to everyone.

[emmie]

we will know more of what's in store for us on the 17th, could be bad news all round.

Short excerpt taken from the article:

// more than five million people of working age on benefits, //

If he means a system which allows people on benefits to be financially 'better off' than those who go to work, then I am in full agreement with him on that particular point.

[emmie]

many of those work Zebu, they just get top ups to stop them from being in dire straits.

[Gromit]

Wonder what the weather is like in Florida, this time of year? Doubt he is waiting on his cold weather payment and energy help payment.

[emmie]

perhaps if he is still entitled to it, he donates it to charity...........

[Spicerack]

Doesn't mean much, zebu, without context.
Are 'sick' people included?
People who work and receive benefits?
I'd be surprised if there were 5 million Jobseekers.

[emmie]

though it won't copy and paste the article i just looked at

apparently there are 1.69 million people unemployed in 2022 in UK

//Wonder what the weather is like in Florida, this time of year? Doubt he is waiting on his cold weather payment and energy help payment.//

I can't see why that is relevant.
