O/T:- Election

[i961pie]

I honestly couldn't pick a best government. Right back to the Heath v Wilson era most of them merge into the 'meh' category so only the bad ones stand out. The worst two do happen to be Tory governments however, starting with Thatcher. She governed solely for her supporters, and they undoubtedly did very well under her. But if you didn't support her you didn't count, you were left to rot. I didn't ever think I'd see worse, but this bunch have proved me wrong. The level of lies, cronyism and corruption has gone off the scale. I blame Johnson for that more than Sunak, but Sunak was happy to be part of it. I can't wait to see them binned.

Don't you class the Labour government of sunny Jim Callaghan in that bracket that caused Thatcher to get elected in the first place. I remember the end of the Wilson/ Callaghan era when the country was almost bankcrupt, the union's ruled the roost. Rubbish was piled high in the streets along with bodies in the morgues. I worked at a place where I wasn't allowed to move a pallet because it wasn't my job and often stood for hours until someone whose job it was came to move it. I was a trade union member all my working life and still am and they have served me well but that era was the worse I remember.

Reminds me of Carry On At Your Convenience: "Union rules says a tap fitter can't do a waste pipe fitter's job."

The only positive about this is that Labour probably can't do much worse than the Tories. I mean, you'd have to really try hard to do worse.

I see Starmer has been coached out of looking as though he's about to cry at any moment.

I think the movie 'Carry On At Your Convenience" portrays what work life was like in the last 60s, early 70's, as earlier stated, very well (although I wasn't working then). However, history has been re-written and for those of you that are easily offended we can't talk about Carry On films and their statement on society, because you'll all think that Talbot Rothwell was a racist and a ***ist - RIP satirical humour.

I mean, how many of you could watch Love Thy Neighbour without thinking it is racist against the Reynolds family?
