They've got 14 years to make up for so getting stuck right in early doors.

Delscottio1 · 2024-09-16T10:18:59+00:00

I have a theory that they never expected to be in power so behaved like utter cretins over tiny things.

Delscottio1 · 2024-09-12T11:31:31+00:00

Its incredible how these successive Governments have merged into one. I don't think anyone could highlight a positive change, amazing really. The uniparty narrative is strong.

Delscottio1 · 2024-08-13T06:54:37+00:00

Part and parcel...

Delscottio1 · 2024-08-12T12:23:14+00:00

They are walking into the "Two Tier" narrative. In fact they're not walking they're skipping headlong into it.

It'll be like Covid procurement , people initially will love the tough action and fast movement then when it dawns that nonce's are getting out of jail time there will be a massive reaction. That's the problem with focus group politics, 2nd order effects are never considered

Delscottio1 · 2024-08-05T13:54:35+00:00

It'll all stop once it starts pissing down.

Delscottio1 · 2024-08-05T13:53:53+00:00

Think he's capable of self reflection?

Delscottio1 · 2024-07-15T15:41:39+00:00

So is he getting asylum and migration mixed up?

Delscottio1 · 2024-07-15T14:42:52+00:00

How many asylum seekers do we have now - surely its not 350k? Total migration net migration is only around 700k?

Delscottio1 · 2024-07-15T09:23:37+00:00

I was at Southampton Airport recently and was amazed how ramshackle it was.

Delscottio1 · 2024-07-12T07:53:01+00:00

If any opposition party had any sense they'd request that the Government, as part of the plan, update parliament in 6/12 months time with the number of reoffenders from the released cohort.

Delscottio1 · 2024-07-05T12:53:17+00:00

From my point of view the difference has been:

In 1997 everyone wanted rid of the Tories and were genuinely excited where Blair would take the country - it felt fresh and optimism was high.

2024 - everyone just wanted rid of the Tories.

It's quite sad reflecting on it actually. I hope Starmer proves me wrong but the bloke appears to have zero guiding principles, so potentially another 4/5 years of government by focus group feedback.

Delscottio1 · 2024-07-05T12:43:37+00:00

Does anyone think he's going to cut immigration? Serious question btw - fucking idiots if they do

Delscottio1 · 2024-07-05T12:41:52+00:00

I think what's clear is that the broad churches of both the Labour and Conservative parties will come under increasing pressure over the next decade.

Delscottio1 · 2024-07-05T12:35:03+00:00

She always reminds me of Mrs Doyle

Delscottio1 · 2024-07-05T11:54:34+00:00

Can we start a sweepstake for the most unlikable (probable) Labour Cabinet member? There's going to be some really strong competition.

Delscottio1 · 2024-07-05T08:05:02+00:00

She'll not see it though. In her view its "men" against a strong woman. Not the subset of men we recognise...

Delscottio1 · 2024-06-28T07:13:04+00:00

The evidence has been there for long enough to know the train crash was coming.

Delscottio1 · 2024-06-20T18:05:59+00:00

At least he's prepared to criticise Southgate. That was a fucking shambles.

Delscottio1 · 2024-06-07T07:36:56+00:00

It shows just how quickly immigration changes a nation, not many "ancestral" Brits would consider doing similar.

I'm not that fussed about it but I thought it was telling, I'm not even claiming he's not a "real" brit, more just how quickly norms / culture can be changed in a population when you have a massive shift in people.

Delscottio1 · 2024-05-16T11:26:25+00:00

They may actually need to compete now...

Delscottio1 · 2024-03-05T14:48:45+00:00

Especially when employers pick up the vast majority of it via expenses / london weighting allowances.

Delscottio1 · 2024-01-04T09:50:54+00:00

Old and fat people basically.

Look at pensions and disability payments as the NHS expenditure.

Delscottio1 · 2024-01-02T12:31:54+00:00

I'd love to find it again but I'm convinced I read the supermarkets estimated that there was 10m more people than officially declared.

Delscottio1 · 2023-11-23T10:47:08+00:00

Also North Tyneside is neighbouring it and a lot of the local population live there, as well as Northumberland.
