O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

[SinceSept1959]

Following on from the recent comments on here re; communist perceptions.

I attended a local football match this afternoon and significantly, whilst talking about recent events , five out of six people , all unprompted , were of the opinion that we are indeed being governed by communism at present.
These opinions were from people of different ages and one was a woman working for a public sector organisation !
Surprising really, that they would have said that without any coercion ?
The only person who thought differently voted Labour at the last election because he wanted a change . He went on to say that he regrets voting as he did and wishes he had spoilt his voting slip!
With regards to the effects of five years of this Parliament, it remains to be seen , if finances and society will benefit positively. Five years is a long time if the SHTF and a lot of irreparable damage may be the result.
There is a distinct lack of both accountability and responsibility from those in office, who of course, remain immune from the consequences of their policy decisions.
There were examples this week,of a Council down South, being unable, or unwilling (?)to help a 21 yr old mum with three children who was , allegedly,evicted because
" the police thought it was unsafe for her to remain in the family home."
Another report concerned a retired NHS worker and his wife ,who were fined £6,000 (for alleged negligence ) because an illegal immigrant stowaway was found hiding in their trailer, whilst returning en-route from a holiday in Europe !

With regards to the gang offences , mentioned on here open clarification and honest publication of statistics, similar to those published in Denmark , would no doubt reveal the extent of the problem or otherwise.
It's OK to pay lip service about the " determination " to protect women, girls and the vulnerable , following events which are happening far too frequently.
Freedom of information requests for such criteria are rebuffed " because the statistics are not routinely collected or detailed."

As for Miners' Welfare Clubs your observations/ perceptions may well be correct.
The most indifference I ever saw and heard, was listening to opinions of various working people, originating from different countries in South Asia and Eastern Europe.
