The Tories are like a child who constantly lies while naively unaware of how ridiculous their story sounds to their parents...

@Ahuman1-o1y The British public are methodically mesmerized by the media for maximum malleability. Excuse the alliteration I had alphabet spaghetti for breakfast...

@justthatguy3949 Last time we had a Labour government it was called 'New Labour' and run by a centrist Thatcherite named Blair. He followed CIA's bad intel and ignored the 100+ MPs from Labour who held a 'stop the war' rally. Interestingly only 4 Tories voted against the war in Iraq while a third of Labour MPs voted against it. Labour was also blamed for the global economic crisis that affected all currencies tied to the dollar. They also used some Thatcherite policies. While I agree with much of what you say about the pantomime of democracy you seem oblivious to ideology. Regardless of how much the modern Labour leadership has sold out, they are still a better option for the poor. I believe in fair wages, fair taxes, a balanced society, free healthcare and schooling. Free legal aid and a society that values human rights. So while I understand your point, my support of leftist ideals doesn't mean I'm oblivious to the game being played. The wealthy and corporations are at the top of the food chain, and politicians are just their errand boys.

@justthatguy3949 You're partly right. But the point is that you have the choice between aristocrats who profit from the poverty all around or a party that while they have been bought out recently - got us out of the slums, gave us free healthcare, schooling, legal aid, workers rights, human rights, public transport, nationalised industry and so on. While Starmer is lobbyist funded the whole Labour party isn't. As for the Tories, they'll never do anything for the poor other than use economic euthanasia on them...

@djonfonsteen6331 Agreed, the left used to be that party but since Blair dropped clause 4 the left have been bought out by lobbyists. Centrist infiltrators now run Labour and ensure it never falls into the hands of any real leftists. But yes, 99% of people just want a quiet life, good wages, a nice house, a safe society and decent schooling. Unfortunately, that isn't a very profitable model.

@JohnKobaRuddy Did you not understand what I wrote? I said ideology is what I believe in not parties. I'm not a member of Labour and advocate civil unrest to remove these aristocratic parasites from our political structure. But the system is inherently corrupt, until you get rid of capitalism nothing will change!

@Carl Collins As much as I enjoy listening to political illiterates who know so little about economics that they blame Labour for a global financial crisis that affected all countries tied to the dollar - I have some paint drying that I'd like to watch...

@Carl Collins Immigration has gone up considerably since 2010 when Labour left office and Theresa May has the record when she was Home Secretary of 650,000 in one year. So please tell me more about how you manage to ignore reality? As for your diatribe regarding the left it's laughable. About as much use as a rubber beak to a woodpecker...

@LeeGee You sound as though you think I can't see that politics is pantomime and money is simply a human construct that allows a tiny minority to control the vast majority of the world's 'actual' resources. While the media writes the script for society and we unwittingly play our part. They write the future and we become the self-fulfilling prophecy...
