    How many times must I keep hearing that the Tories are now the same as labour with just about no difference between their policies.
    On here it’s red labour, /Blue labour.
    Farage, “There’s not a cigarette paper between them”
    Just about every commentator saying there’s no choice as both parties are now left wing labour.

    Are the only people deaf to this the ‘Tory’ MPs themselves?
    Don’t they realise they are going to get humiliated at the next General election.
    Are they frogs in water being heated up but they don’t notice it.

    They are supposed to be intelligent and are well paid yet they can’t see what’s glaringly obvious to all of us.
    Everyone on this forum can see it.
    They have abandoned their voters by going after those who will never vote for them yet they persist with this. (Put Einstein insanity quote here)

      EG
      I think ( hope ) they will get a bit more than “humiliation”in thr coming election – oblivion . I’m Far Right – meaning I believe in a small State – and a Britain for the long term British – the new arrivals – since that 1948 poisonous immigration act ? No . No third world .
      The blue labour deserve the hate they are getting because they were given the tools to do the job – 80 majority – but went woke thinking they’d get the approval of the swamp / BBC which the will never get ….

      When they are destroyed the public finances will be so swamped by debt that any grand red labour plans will get wasted under debt and third world arrivals .

      After that ? 5 years of labour blaming the tories ? Maybe a revolution – but it will depend if there’s anything good on the TV and whether you can get a just eat delivery …

    Matt Hancock admits – not directly but through his words that he is a hard line Socialist bordering on Marxist with his account of hating conservative Donald Trump and loving fellow traveller Joe Biden and the squad.

    An astonishing article, but lets not forget these goons came out for Marxist Cathy Newman after conservative Jordan Peterson tore her a new one.

    That cuddly Muslim country Indonesia is about to criminalise sex before marriage. Presumably it also applies to gays.

    That’s really going to put a spanner in the works of the BBC news editors. How DO they square that circle?

    Oh dear.
    How sad.
    Never mind.

      1. It’s already illegal in Aceh
      FO webpage
      The province of Aceh enforces Sharia Law. It is the only province in Indonesia to do so and applies to Muslims and non-Muslims alike.
      Extra-marital sex, gambling, and the consumption, production and distribution of alcohol are all illegal under Sharia law.
      Homosexual activity is illegal under Sharia Law.

      However in the rest of the country there’s popular tolerance of discreet prostitution and ladyboy stuff

      When it can be said by any country in the world, my poor are happy, neither ignorance nor distress is to be found among them, my jails are empty of prisoners, my streets of beggars, the aged are not in want, the taxes are not oppressive, the rational world is my friend because I am the friend of happiness. When these things can be said, then may that country boast its constitution and government.”
      – – Thomas Paine, Rights of Man – –

      For prisoners we have failed them, for society we have taxed them and for families we have removed hope from them.

      A suggestion of what is needed:
      * Gardening daily for all prisoners – life skills, manual labour, exercise, time to reflect
      * Persistent weeding as an activity – no pesticides
      * Vegan diet – waste into manure?
      * Self sustaining where possible on all aspects
      * Grow hemp to create own clothes
      * Generate own electricity for needs
      * Water wheel to bring in water – manual process
      * Not much concept of leisure time – work/sleep/think during labour
      * Work only in daylight – reduces power consumption
      * Goods sold as money – for when released
      * Food produced given to prisoners’ own family – a way to provide for them in a big way
      * Prisoners given choice between Lazy Prison (current system) and Active Prison (garden, dynamo)

      So with your experience we can change the world for the better, with your experience from all those grand designs fed into a solution for prison building where growing is the culture.

      Out of reoffending, overcrowding, prison population and cost – this would definitely reduce the costs, and possibly reduce all of the others.

        Sue and Craig are both here rather than over there. And AsIseeIt is there too. BiasedBBC is still rightly criticising Mark Easton.

    For some unknown reason my TV was left on BBC1 and on came a new drama called “Granite Harbour” at 7pm.

    The BBC requirements to get this commissioned must have been:
    1. Main actor must be black
    2. Nothing else matters and that includes the script

    Absolute load of pants.

    … it’s as wrong as forgetting slavery occurred long before Europeans began shipping Africans to N and S America. It’s as wrong as denying affluent Indians in the UK don’t retain ’employ’ ‘helpers’ in this country …

      It’s time for a new thread – So What ? I hear you refrain …

      No border control? So what ?
      Country being taken over by the Third World ? So what ?
      More Tory taxes ? So what ?
      More Crime ? so what ?
      More Woke? So What ?
      Uncontrolled Far Left BBC ? So What ?
