Political Thread in memory of David Reid. (R.I.P.)

[The Bedlington Terrier]

Labour are full of sh!t has we all know.

If anyother political party had have made any kind of cuts to the transport infrastructure, these clowns would have been up in arms
All this is to facilitate Millibands net zero fantasy project, that will bankrupt the country and send us all to the poor house

The next thing will be Labours obsession with getting everyone on welfare benefits, its already started with means testing fuel allowances to pensioners. What will be the incentive to work when the idle, irresponsible and feckless get paid to sit at home. Welcome back to the bunny boiler generation created by Blair and killed by Cameron. Free, state paid for 2bed house/flat for a 16 year old getting banged up. Ffs, not to mention kids even younger encouraged by their parents to get pregnant for additional benefits

You want to talk about a fantasy project my mate let's talk about HS2.

Then let's get on discussing the other Tory vanity project the Elizabeth Line.

100 billion things to discuss - about right?

Why carry on flogging dead horses for FOUR**** pfhucking years?

Because they wanted to keep the Labour Lefties happy. If they had cancelled HS2 the Labour MPs would have been persistently whinging because they weren't trying to improve the infrastructure --as they always do.

It was supposed to take TWENTY pfhucking minutes off a train journey from Manchester to London with a major intersection in Birmingham branching off to Leeds. Great swathes of glorious countryside were ruined, billions of pounds chucked down the drain.

This fixation with Lefties on here is getting more than tiresome. Anyone with a brain in their head and not a pfhucking sieve knew the HS2 line was a ridiculous costly fiasco that would end in tears.

Without looking back and checking the threads I distinctly recall, both sinkov and myself being amongst its widest critics, and pray tell in which universe could my old mucker be called a "Labour Lefty?"

BT, neither you nor sinky are/were Labour MPs and along with me, you saw the futility of the Labour idea to build and pay for a hideous idea. An idea which was then put into practice by a coalition government and which has cost way over original estimates and has not even achieved its original objective. You heard all the whinging by opposition MPs when they said that the northern part was being cancelled Now they are whinging about lack of funds available to do this that and the other. They are all living in cloud cuckoo land.

Meanwhile, up here in the north east, we are still trying to manage to get parts of the main road into Scotland made into a dual carriageway. After over 15 years, it was agreed in May this year that the work would be carried out on 8 miles of road, however, the whole thing is now under review by our Chancellor.

HST was a barmpot idea, originated by Labour, carried on by the Tories, Boris was going to scrap it, then reneged when in power, too many people on the gravy train by then no doubt. Labour and Tories equally culpable, two cheeks of the same arse.

Boris was going to build 40 new hospitals, Reeves has kicked that one into the long grass. Welcome to life under Labour.
