Employing many people is a good thing, isn't it? Have you got any specifics on where this money went.

Have you got any specifics on where this money went. Paid out in huge dividends to themselves. You have issues with self-employed people yet have no problem with cronyism. You have such a warped belief system when it comes to this kind of thing.

Originally posted by Forest Hillbilly Can anyone think of anything this Government has done, which by any stretch of the imagination could be interpreted as even vaguely laudable ?

Edited by Forest Hillbilly (12 Dec 2021 10.27am) A vast amount more during the pandemic than many would think. Many of the pandemic issues are down to the somewhat lazy and politically motivated civil service and others caused by lack of investment in this Country's services over the last 20/30 years

Originally posted by steeleye20 A Corbyn government would have been far better for us, in every way. To leave or exit, under terms to be voted on by us, how does that look now! Failed privatisations such water and energy, transport, restored to public accountability. A wealth tax, genuine corporation tax increases and social justice. Ending homelessness, evictions. child poverty where to even start now. And all the time the few get more wealth than they could ever handle, the country awash with corruption. A dictatorship? it's almost one now. The fact that the brexit generation brought this upon us is undeniable. 17 million utter plonkers. 17 million utter plonkers eh - in your eyes everyone who doesn't agree with you is an idiot. As for the other items on your list it is sad to say that no government including the Blair/Brown era did anything to stop any of them! Had Corbyn been in charge I shudder to think where we would be now.

Nevertheless Dan, considering your politics you do seem to occupy a rather unusual 'no man's land' when it comes to offence. I rarely have any issues with what you write personally but then again my politics isn't so censorship based and puritan.....Is there a touch of, 'it's alright when I do it' flavour going on?

Bit like me going to the walk in centre in Croydon with a bad knee, the bloke said "its gona be between 4 and 5 wait". Bloomin hell I said, 4 or 5 hours in a walk in surgery, thats not good. He said no, 4 or 5 weeks! Welcome to the NHS people, this is the reality. I just strolled in for my booster. 0 mins wait. Independent pharmacy, you see. The problem she experienced was Boots. The place that likes to say "no". A behemoth fettered by red tape.

I booked an appointment for a flu jab a few years back turned up and they said sorry we have run out of vaccine didn't call me or even offer to re-book. A couple of shops up was Superdrug got sorted no problem. Sadly Boots a once great company is now on the auction block and will probably fall to a predator. Anyway back on point get jabbed folks.
