Well, that went well didn’t it?

[Brigadier]

Going OT but to make a point.

I recall reading that the requirement for the UK to have a new nuclear power station was debated, however at the time (Ed Miliband?) et al said 'that would take 10 years to implement, we need to consider alternatives.' Then here we are, 10 years later, when an additional power station could have been up and running and contributing to ensure we don't have power shortages.

But no, here in the UK we talk, talk, debate, discuss, talk, discuss, debate, debate, object, discuss, debate, object.

Days turn into weeks into months into years into decades. Whatever the thing is, it doesn't get done.

It's the same with prisons. Instead of cross party agreement to just get the feck on with it (building more prisons) and allocating the money, we talk, talk, debate, discuss, object, debate, object ...

It's called "kicking the can down the road".

Regarding infrastructure, Tories don't maintain, sell off cheap to buddies, then leave taxpayer to eventually bail out.

If Labour try to maintain, the backlog requires lots of borrowing, tax rises, or schemes like PFI. Which the tories hammer them for.

Same old same old......

What made you such a c***t?

Anonymity

Actually one, maybe more was given the go ahead. Blair I think. Problem Toshiba decided not to build it so on to EDF.
All the time cost increases mostly due to inflation but interest rates can also figure. All PFI really.

It's exactly the problem of short term politics and switching from party to party.

Not always. A nuclear power station carried on. A number of policies introduced bt the Tory wont be changed.

Some common threads always happen with changes of power.

It is a problem when it's extremes though.

Less of a problem when more moderate middle ground happens. Hopefully this labour might bring more middle ground.

But then watch who the Tories choose to lead them

Like trying to burn migrants alive inside buildings?
Attacking police for stopping such attacks on migrants?

No, that was all wrong, very wrong - they deserved hard justice. No body should be rioting.

My gripe is what appears to me and others an attempt by starmer to restrict free speech

 

[Munroast]

Munroast, please can you explain how people calling for hotels containing asylum seekers to be burnt down are “speaking ill of the politburo”

there is something very sinister about our new government

 

[fillyboy]

WRONG

I see the ficko tw@ts Munroast and Mottie are thanking you for your lying BS post

“Sunak ignored police chiefs' warning to act on prisons crisis before election”

Yes he did, and the torys rejected proposals by the civil service to do the same, they also rejected suggestions by the civil service regarding cutting the winter fuel allowance.
James Cleverly was speaking to Trevor Philips this weekend about this very topic.
He was stunned by the rookie errors being made by the Labour Govt.

Restrict free speech where, how ?

It's OK to say we don't want more migrants and we need better system's.

It's not OK to try and burn them alive or encourage others to do so.

Yes caught some of that, He is the one responsible for all Tory success - all of it, Getting elected etc. Solely as well.
Rather strange leadership campaigning. Turned it off and went to bed,

What !

Try and explain yourself rather than let your imagination out

 

[ajohn]

Hopefully this labour might bring more middle ground

The Lib leader mentioned that the budget will be 30th Oct while explaining his get the NHS right plan. Analysts reckon costs would be 3 times what he reckons but didn't mention facilities in the care area that we don't have. Then comes care in the home. Something that has been pushed for ages and happens when it can. Totally bed blocker related. Nice -- already news worthy. Labour's aim some what different. Move bed blockers some where else - specialist facilities that for instance just do joint replacement.

The budget. Reeves has commented. Yet more welfare changes or what has already been done? She said tough decisions - tax and welfare related.

You have a vivid imagination

What new laws has Starmer passed to restrict free speech?
