Just to clarify, you’re saying that the suspended sentence recently handed down to Huw Edwards, which, as demonstrated above, was entirely in accordance with the current sentencing guidelines, was imposed at the whim of the current Labour government?
Or are you saying that they’ve been in power long enough to change said guidelines?
Good. Responding with a shit gif, always the hallmark of a well made point. I note you didn’t answer my question.
To be fair, it was fucking idiotic question.
You know what I’m saying. They have been in long enough. Done.
Ah yes…
Day One.
Gotcha.
Should we have people who pay for child porn brutally murdered? Yeah, you’re right, it is a stupid question.
It isn’t day one. It isn’t week one. It isn’t month one.
I don’t think any society should murder anyone.
Your opinion. Fine. Somebody rapes and murders somebody close to you? Suspect you change your opinion.
Maybe…but fortunately we have, on the whole, managed to build a society that protects the collective from the basest desires of the individual.
Except for Musk, the cunt.
How the fuck did we end up here?
Change of pace needed…
Anyone wanna hear my theory on why we should return all the stolen shit in the British Museum?
I think the theory is within the question
Think you’ve lost your marbles mate.
I said after Boris, I couldn’t see why anyone would want to be prime minister or why any party would want to be in government.
The thing is we are in trouble. Much of the infrastructure of government, civil service etc is not fit for purpose - of a different age. Tribal politics will not fix it - whether left or right wing. It was also based on an economic model of the UK that is not longer there.
We need a national coalition and reimagining of who we are. Politics of envy or gesture will not do it. We also need to think beyond the next election in 4 years.
But none of that is why a lot of people are in politics. They want power, favor… a few really care.
Well apparently 14years worth….
I’m not sticking up for the Tories or blaming Labour in my response to your post, merely engaging in debate.
Do you have evidence that the Tories have funnelled £200bn to their mates?
Do you have evidence that 100k people died or ‘killed’ due to their mismanagement of the pandemic.
Destroying standards in public life, undermining rule of law…
You could counter argue that the Financial crisis, started the standard of living crisis. Families having their homes repossessed, the Government bailing out the banks with the public money…this was 2008, 10 years into a Labour government.
Blair and the whole smoking gun, getting into bed with Bush, misleading parliament about the intelligence to justify his decision to go to war.
.
The problem is not just a couple of free suits, it’s the fact that Starmer/Labour called out the Tories for the same thing, built his election campaign on “Change” and yet 3 months in power we are seeing the same stories manifest. Labour supporters cry foul of right wing media, so why give them easy pickings.
Look, I want the Country to get back on track as soon as possible, irrelevant of who is in Government. I very much have my fingers crossed for Starmer/Labour, but, in my opinion we as a public have to hold them accountable from the start. We didn’t with the Tories and look where we are now.
Good post.
