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

[Med Pie]

Do you really believe that the current, or even near recent, governments have the finances, or financial will, to fix the decades of underinvestment in national infrastructure?

Bliar had plenty of opportunity and years in which to reverse much that Thatcher introduced.

Let's put it another way; name one government enterprise that is really working well. You can introduce local government in that list if you wish.

I can't understand why local government and councils, have been averse to the construction of council estates. They are self, financing, bringing in income and creating jobs by way of maintenance.

On a separate note, Starmer has prevented the allocation of a whole, life, tariff for the crimes of the Southport monster because in the eyes of the law and under a UN (non binding) resolution, he was a child when he committed the crime and yet, Starmer is keen on giving votes to those aged six****, double standard at play. How can people who are not held, fully accountable to the law because of their immaturity, be allowed to influence the political, direction of the nation, any chance that it's because Starmer knows they are more likely to vote Labour? Similarly, he won't rock the boat with the Muslim voters by calling out certain, cultural incompatibilities.

Well that's that then, all three are nailed on to happen! We'll get everything they said, wouldn't happen but with different names which will slip us in the back door.

'The government has promised the UK will not re-join the EU's single market or customs union, or sign up to freedom of movement.'

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0e4rv2rw4eo

Here's one

'Plenty in the EU are keen on a youth mobility scheme allowing young people from the UK and the EU to travel much more easily.

But such a scheme will sound to some rather like freedom of movement, albeit for a narrow chunk of the population and so may be a hard sell for the UK politically. It is also likely, given the respective sizes of the EU and the UK, that more young people from the EU would come to the UK than vice versa. 'Ministers have rejected the idea so far.'

and here's another


The EU has also floated the UK joining what is known as the Pan-Euro-Mediterranean Convention.

The Convention isn't quite a customs union but removes customs on the components that go into a product that are sourced from the other countries signed up to it.

Notably, the UK has not ruled out signing up to this and it is not seen by the government as a breach of its red lines.'

The second is a trade agreement between the parties mentioned, something we have been saying is a benefit of Brexit. Can't see an issue with that.

It's another name for a customs union, something they said wouldn't happen and which I said would, with a different name et volia.

[The Dug Out]

Another few trillion ?'s being loaded up in the sidings as we watch GB being ripped another one. This time by our very own lefty lunatic lammy, the Foreign Secretary, cough, cough.

The gravy train will be rolling into GB in April from all over the Caribbean with lammy the engine driver thowing trillions of our money like confetti.

So all of the British taxpayers better roll up their sleeves earn more,and pay more towards it as the "Flying Repatriation Express" gets up a head of steam.

A Pakistani woman who overstayed her visa and was arrested and held in detention, has just won ?100K compensation for 'being treated like a criminal'.

A Somali illegal who was 'locked up for too long' after being arrested for multiple crimes, used human rights law to fight his deportation and was also awarded ?80K.

I'm avoiding, reading articles like this in the future, it just angers me, the UK is a joke.

...with those who are blind to anything that isn't right wing. It is a simple report of a court case.

I'm not right or left wing SwalePie but I would take anything in the Guardian with a pinch of salt
