Every day, we see another article about our Home Office and its total lack of compassion and lack of competence.
At this point, it needs reforming throughout. Give every person who has applied an extension to their stay and go through every single function and procedure until the department regains its humanity. Sack every heartless person there.
If the Tories do survive this election in any recognisable form, I wonder if they will come to embrace the benefits of preferential (ranked choice) voting?
Annoying to get blatant lies in our letterbox from the local #LibDems claiming they are the tactical vote! I definitely plan to vote tactically, but that means holding my nose and voting #Labour #UKPol
"the small cabal of people who fund all our mainstream parties... don't particularly care which of those parties they back wins, because none of them will seek to bite the hand that feeds them.
Our politicians may be useless human beings, but they're excellent dogs. They'll do what they're told, come to heel when called, beg and whine for treats, and defend their owners loudly and fiercely from all perceived threats"
"the last thing party managers want is bolshy back benchers, They want a quiet life. They want a party which appears disciplined, and united. So they select for people who don't have strong opinions. They select for people who don't have strong principles, robust consciences. For people who are not deep thinkers. And, the thing is, they've (now) been doing this for generations"
"As the UK's General Election campaign stumbles uncertainly into its third week, one thing becomes abundantly clear: none of the leading politicians in any of Britain's mainstream political parties are any good at their jobs. Every one of them is mediocre at best, utterly incompetent at worst."
In Britain, former Conservative Member of Parliament Julian Knight, who was suspended from the party over allegations of sexual assault, has announced he will run in the election as an independent. Seems to me he could start and run for the Sexual Assault Party.
Hi, we're Vote Out Covid! We know that #CovidIsntOver and we want #UK#GeneralElection candidates to sign up to three low-cost, non-intrusive health pledges to help reduce risk and harms from #LongCovid and other conditions.
We're still getting set up but please do follow us and boost this toot to encourage others to join in. We'll let you know here when our campaign fully launches, hopefully by 10th June.
The biggest problem that the way the Second World War has been presented to people in the UK throughout my lifetime is that it was primarily a fight against the Germans, and not because it was a fight against fascism.
And that is how we have ended up with the two major parties espousing fascist policies, and the people who think they are the biggest patriots (cos they wave a Union flag) are the ones who most adhere to the ideology we were fighting against.
