BBC reporting this morning that The Green Party will inject £50bn into health and social care by taxing the rich. Are they serious? I doubt they could raise more than a few billions by that. Meanwhile the Lib Dems have come out with a Pro EU pledge well at least that is open and honest, I still suspect Labour will do a back door deal once in power. Edited by Badger11 (11 Jun 2024 7.07am)

How so ? Not for me to interpret the meaning of the words. Just read them and reach your own conclusions.

Edited by Badger11 (11 Jun 2024 7.07am) We can disregard what any party other than Labour are saying. These daily announcements are a completely pointless waste of time. Just a ritual we need to get through until July 4th. At least in a few days we will have some football to watch again which for us has more in it than usual to peak our interest. I sincerely hope Labour make better arrangements with the EU that smooth the flow of goods, increase cooperation over reducing illegal migration and pave the way for some kind of associate membership in the not too distant future. We need them and increasingly they need us.

Really the only interesting aspect to this election is seeing whether Reform replace the Tories as the official opposition.

'Reform UK candidate apologises for saying Britain should not have fought Hitler'. He also thought Winston Churchill was 'abysmal', and praised Vladimir Putin, he thinks women are 'spongers' and should be denied healthcare. I hate to think what his opinion of the D-Day celebrations is.
I think people have seen all these lefty tabloid tactics before.

What that Reform guy said was common sense. It has been said many many times by famous conservative figures post war just not recently once social liberalism became censorious. Books have been written on it, counterfactuals as well. It's being portrayed as radical when it frankly isn't. Not that I'd expect you, as someone with stated communist sympathies to view it that way. Anyone who uses common sense and actually looks at what happened in the war instead of the narratives we were raised with....something that was somewhat painful for me to come to terms with but I have. Before WW2 we had an empire and were doing well relatively. The reason we declared war on Germany was because they wouldn't leave Poland. After the war Stalin controlled Poland and did so for forty years more. Before WW2 we had an empire. After WW2 we quickly lost our empire....this is despite the governments, especially Tories denying that this would happen. We lost half a million men and huge levels of infrastructure that put us in hock to the Americans with their Marshall aid post war and then permanent military bases. America largely took the place as the lead hegemon in the world and we were heavily demoted when we were once competing prewar. Many of the war's supporters said that we were in an existential fight with Hitler, even though he had offered to leave occupied Europe with peace terms our government censored from the public. If you accept that defeating Hitler was existential then the post war position was actually worse as we had Stalin's Russia deeply embedded into Europe holding all eastern Europe and half of Germany with the world coming close to ending in WW3 a couple of times. But we live in an era of narratives and leftist indoctrination. Edited by Stirlingsays (11 Jun 2024 9.26am)

My father had little time for Churchill and blamed him for the loss of his ship and 600:lives through sending it to Singapore without air cover. The electorate at the end of the war tended to agree with him. That’s different though to sympathising with appeasement and praising Putin. They aren’t vote winning sentiments.

It seems an enormous stretch of imagination to contemplate Reform replacing the Tories as the official opposition. Even with the “Farage effect” boosting their numbers the most seats they will get any poll is suggesting is possible is 4. Does anyone seriously think the Tories will get less? The Liberals should get 30+. There could be a handful of defections and even moves to a merger between the Tory right and Reform but that’s the only way. It’s the 2029 election which matters. This one is done.

This one is done. It's quite possible that the Tory Remainer left are throwing this election and will be happy to see Labour move us back towards Europe. Such is their quasi religious obsession with the EU and their strings worked by their elite puppet masters. It would be very good for this country if the Tory Right and Reform joined forces and ended this ridiculous situation. A very large proportion of this country needs better representation. We cannot continue as we are.
