This whole debacle is a joke. I dont like either party really. (I used to be a labour voter but wouldn't trust starmer as far as i could spit him) Personally, i believe the time has come for a "British revoloution party" sort of thing. We need term limits in the house of lords (if we keep them. I think we should abolish the house of lords) and direct democracy. Time for everyone to stop going to work and get on the streets with their placards. I'm not a fan of the 'first past the post' election system. We need something like Norway with their proportional representation system. Tories and labour can suck out.
I was under the impression Labour would be trying to bring in the PR system and limit the lords?

I'm far from a labour voter, but Keith seems to be the only option at the moment to limit the damage these tories are doing.

Shell have reported another £8.2billion profits for the 3rd quarter. 4 months of ripping the customer off.

The sooner we can get away from these corporations and their puppets in the tory party the better and Labour's green energy plan looks solid on paper.

But :idn: I suppose only time will tell.


Edit - Shell have made £26 BILLION so far this year. :wtf:

It's constantly picking the lesser of 2 evils that got us in this position. Maybe labour would introduce the PR system and term limits for the H O L but to me it just feels like empty promises because they know thats what the people want to hear. If Starmer was to step down and someone else take over as labour leader then they might win my vote back, depending on who it is and their track record. I lost a lot of hope for labour when Corbyn tried that 'grime for labour' shyte. Paying the likes of Stormzy and Lilly Allen to preach to crowds of thousands and trying to ride the hype wave. Its all a game to politicians.
Making plans with a stoner is like being with a prostitute. They tell you they’re coming, but you know it’s a lie.

We The People:

We are the starving, the meek and the poor.
We are the victims of your conflicts and wars.
We are the People struck down with the Aids,
A hidden surprise in the vaccines you gave.
We are the children who die ten a penny,
Casualties of progress for your world of plenty.
We are the homeless you step over in the street,
I'm the crazy ranting lady whose eyes you won't meet.
We are the youth disenchanted and angry,
With Asbo's and Hoodies and disengaged families.
We are the natives whose waters you've soured,
Whose trees you've cut down and land you've devoured.
We are the People displaced from their lands,
Because laws can be broken for corporations so grand.
We are the Creed, an entire race you're erasing,
With your illegal bombs filled with depleted uranium.
These weapons aren't selective, you're killing yourselves,
Your soldiers, your wives and your children as well.
Because we are the Cancer that plagues your society,
With diabetes and obesity we have gained notoriety.
We are the workers whose jobs were all lost,
Because the Chinese can do it for a far lesser cost.
We are the victims of your financial crash,
Homes taken, bankrupted, left scratching for cash.
We are the People who bailed out the Banks,
Are they ours? Do we own them, or get any thanks?
No, they continue to screw us and charge for the service,
I.M.F, the World Bank, they have a sinister purpose.
We're not pointing the finger or passing the blame,
We don't want your guilt, your pitty or your shame.
We don't want your money you're so eager to lend,
Because we won't be indebted as slaves to your trends.
We just want a playing field that's level and fair,
To know the rules of the game and have an equal share.
We just want the freedom to live our lives as we please,
To run our own country and fish our own seas.
We'll grow our own food and choose our own leaders,
And we'll no longer put up with the Bullshit they feed us.
So we'll print our own money and make our own diesel,
And have no further dealings with your corporate evil.
We'll take back what's ours, the Banks and the Trains,
Power companies, the Roads, no more corporate gains.
Your time, it is nearing through our Struggles and Pains,
Because We, The People, We are Tired of Your Games.

I've worked for 44 years and seen em all.
My personal political highlights started with a 40% pay cut thanks to Labour selling out NHS mental health services to the lowest bidder. Almost lost my house. After that I've had the goalposts moved 3 times on pension. Once by Labour and twice by the conservatives.
I'm done with the lot of em.
I've now retired and the cost of living is up 50%.
Thank you for your service. Not
