Quote wrencat1873="wrencat1873"I'm no fan of McDonald (or Corbyn), you will see that from many of my previous posts.
However, equally, I'm not falling for the Tory 3 card trick either.
We've had 10 years of austerity and then we are supposed to be happy that police numbers will be reversed and put back to where they were 10 years ago ??
And we supposed to be happy that the NHS, despite "record funding" is still going to be worse than when it was taken over by the Tories 10 years ago ??
We have a Prime Minister that is playing games and cant mutter a word without telling lies.
Even his "oven ready" deal can not be finalised by the end of next year and we are therefore being asked to accept a "no deal" exit at the end of 2020, when all of a sudden ,he will blame those "nasty" Europeans and probably suggest that "I didn't want to leave with no deal but.....)
I'm hacked off that Labour are incapable of properly calling this bunch of charlatans out and tat with Corbyn (and McDonald) at the helm, will allow the spectre of Brexit and for The Tories to gain another 5 years in power.
As I said, to have the promise of being back where we were 10 years ago is just depressing and all with the likelihood of another recession to have to deal with.
This election is all rather surreal, with many well respected Tories, Clark, Hessletine, Osborne etc now suggesting that their supporters vote for other parties.
Many of these of course are pro European but, it's sad that the centre left of the Tories and centre right of Labour have all been annexed and we now have the two main parties at polar opposites of the political spectrum.
The voice of reason has disappeared from both and we will shortly be ruled by politicians who would have been considered "extreme" 25/30 years ago.
Progress ? I dont think so.'"
Why have we had years of austerity - because the Tories inherited a complete financial mess from the last Labour government. When things are so catastrophic something has to give and it takes a lot longer to put in right than it does to get into the mess in the first place.
As is often the case in life you have to go backwards before you can go forwards again. Now there is a chance of some progress.
You also have Labour grandees such as Blair saying don't vote for Corbyn and then you have the Chief Rabbi calling him out too? Seems Johnson is not the only one shy of explaining himself.
Brexit he has a deal than can be progressed to the next stage quickly - the Tories are the only party that can promise that. Will we leave with no deal - a distinct possibility - everyone knows the crunch doesn't come until the 11th hour and if the remainers hadn't cut his legs off Boris would have done a better deal than he did.
The NHS needs a fundamental review - what do we actually expect of it - once we have decided that then agree how best to fund it. You will never be able to put sufficient money to do all things for all people.
Personally for all their failings are there are many still believe a government that encourages business is better than one that want to take control back into the public sector - that's a personal view.
