[Mister Rog]

UK General Election

The major parties are releasing their manifestos tomorrow. You know, all the things that they will say that they will do. But what about the other stuff, all the crap that comes out in interviews etc. We will . . . .

At what stage will the panic step in when everyone is promising everything to everyone.

2019:
John McDonnell stated on TV that he would remove "every trace of privatisation from the NHS". Possibly the most stupid comment from any politician ever.  Also the WASPI women would get everything owed. Yeah right.

Tories. Dramatically cut immigration and EU red tape. Well that didn't happen either. Immigration went up and the "bonfire of EU rules" never happened.

Starmer and Sunak. Two cheeks from the same arse. I don't believe either of them. Starmer will say anything to get the keys of No10, and Sunak has had time to do the things that he isn't going to do.

I'm off to bury my head in the sand. But I'm curious about at what stage the stupid promises will start emerging. I've got the popcorn ready.

Dodn’t Starmer say the other day that he would keep nuclear and later Rayner said she would get rid of them.

That pair have never read from the same Hymn sheet.

.. and then there's recognition of the Palestinian state. So, who are we going to establish diplomatic links with? Hamas? Shouldn't we wait until they have a credible, democratic government in waiting rather than give legitimacy to a bunch of terrorists?

I raised the point about Israel freeing Palestine from Hamas during a conversation at work. Got told to stop shouting Israeli propaganda by a girl with a sociology degree who had written a thesis about it. My only response was to rest my case
