Ingram85 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) Gov't sticking with the cap. I'd spit in Mays face if I saw the vampiric bloodsucking cow, she deserves nothing more. God knows what would happen if Hunt was foolish enough to visit my place of work, there'd be a massive lynch mob to welcome him. I can feel the rage starting up just typing this. I hate them for making me feel like committing gbh against them but I hate them more for what they are doing to the emergency services and it's workforce of this country. I hope they all burn as it crashes down around them. Edited July 3, 2017 by Ingram85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted July 4, 2017 Moderator Share Posted July 4, 2017 23 hours ago, PompeyVillan said: Boris Johnson the latest minister to suggest an end to the 1% pay cap. Which is odd because he and all Conservative cronies voted in parliament to continue the 1% pay cap. I don't think Boris is particularly bothered about the pay cap - I think the field are starting to bunch behind May and are looking for ways to differentiate themselves. I guess Boris sees this one as one that will make him popular with 'working people' and is hoping it'll put him in opposition to nasty Mr Hammond should they find themselves competing for the job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 As an aside, I know what each party it is doing. And Labour have outmanoeuvred the Conservatives on the pay cap. As they've already voted against it, Labour can bash Tories on their austerity policies. By the sounds of it the government will be defeated sooner or later in a vote. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Labour and Conservative voters/MP's/Councils and anyone else who still engages in politics and not policy....hmmmm.......

Again, they must think people are really stupid. There's spin and then there's having contempt for the electorate. When people ask for a reasonable pay rise to enjoy a decent standard of living for jobs that are not only worthy of a payrise but essential to everyone in the country, they're patronised with more austerity nonsense. Not only that but scare tactics. Against a background of tax breaks for big corporations, who happen to be very good at hiding their profits abroad to avoid tax, it just doesn't wash. Big business first, people last. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody depressing isn't it. Scare, scare and bloody scare. While I used to blame Blair for his abuse of scare and the media, the Conservatives have well and truly taken the reins of that flying turd. At least May is shocking at it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PompeyVillan Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 And yet the government can pluck a billion from the magic money tree to bribe the DUP into helping them cling to power. Callous, dishonest, backwards politics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Request to other parties for any ideas. David Davis aide touting him as future PM. May 'relaunching' to show it's business as usual (a bit like getting the backing of the board?). Strong and Stable Maybot not being supported after latest patch release. Just another Monday. This isn't going to last 2 years is it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the election campaign she talked about how Corbyn would be 'naked and alone' during Brexit negotiations. turns out that May is naked, alone, and begging the opposition to keep her company.

snowychap Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 The Torygraph are reporting: Quote She will say that it is in the “spirit” of co-operation that her Government will seek to take forward her agenda in the months ahead “at a critical time in our history”. “It is in that spirit that we will take this agenda forward in the months ahead," she will say. "And this new context presents us as a government with a wider choice. “We can play it safe or we can strike out with renewed courage and vigour, making the case for our ideas and values and challenging our opponents to contribute, not just criticise. “In everything we do, we will act with an unshakeable sense of purpose to build the better, fairer Britain which we all want to see." Apart from the annoying new reality that speeches are now released before they are made (why bother making them?), this sounds like a demand to get in line framed as a request for 'co-operation'. Thursday is, I gather, the day that they intend to publish the 'Great' Repeal Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post magnkarl Posted July 10, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 10, 2017 No matter what happens we'll have a weak government. Labour doesn't have the MP's to push anything through and the tories are all over the place. I can only hope that this is the start of an era of proper coalitions where our politics aren't either bloody red or bloody blue. It'd be great if our parliament started voting for policy rather than political leanings where we could see what is right for the electorate coming first. Want to win my vote? Scrap the pay cap. Negotiate with decency with Brussels, hold people in power accountable when they fudge up, devolve power to local authority to spend on apprenticeships and local economy. Stop the scaremongering that started under Blair and get on with the job. We don't need the current squabbling that is happening in parliament but rather an effective representation of the country's interests. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
