This is what to expect if labour win...

I have my doubts too, but even if they only partially succeed it will be an improvement on what we have now. These last 14 years have given us appalling government and a broken Britain.

For that reason alone we need to give someone else a chance. The Tories definitely need a term or two in opposition to sort themselves out and figure out where they stand. Especially with the demographic time bomb ticking against them. I have seen polling recently that place their ratings at only 9% amongst the under 50s, and well behind the Greens amongst the under 25s. Far fewer people are shifting rightwards as they age than used to be the case, and this is almost certainly due to greater difficulties in becoming prosperous due to high rents and housing costs and ever more people reliant upon insecure private renting. The aspirational road to home ownership is working for far fewer people and often much later in life than used to be the case, and this is I suspect the primary cause of fewer people moving towards the Conservatives as they age.

In response to this the Tories are obviously engaged in an attempt to limit the damage in the short term by targeting their appeal at the older age groups who still vote for them in numbers. But in the medium to longer term this might risk alienating the working age population even more. And with the majority of today's pensioners likely to be gone in 20 years, and today's under 50s having by then become the under 70s, clearly the Tories need for their long term survival to broaden their appeal to younger voters. A period in opposition might sharpen their minds on that. score.

I caught a bit of Hitchens on the Talk show, says labour have ruled out raising working taxes so their taxes will likely hit council tax, pensions and probably targeted VAT what's the betting more on petrol?

I think I would probably feel sorry for you if I thought there was a decent chap behind your disastrous posts, but I don't, so I don't. 

If labour win we can expect a shock to our society not seen since the 1970s, there will be wholesale uncosted nationalisation being carried out by incompetents and dictated by the marxist trade unions, the complete takeover of schools and universities by woke regulations and George Orwell style brainwashing, a weird kind of deviant gender rules that will incite rage among ordinary people, a debt crisis that makes our current debt look minor, the complete eradication of all private enterprise and self sufficiency, working and employment laws which will result in at least ten million people being rendered unemployed,  a suffocation of petty rules in the name of net zero, blackouts, national strikes, homelessness, starvation, the total breakdown of the NHS and a total ban of private health care.

Fuck knows what the second week will be like. 

Because Hitchens is totally impartial... ...right?


All The Best

His opinion IS to be valued.
But no more, or less valued than anyone else's.

All The Best

Why does anyone believe that Peter Hitchens views or opinions are either more relevant, or more important than anyone elses opinions. ?

Peter Hitchens has changed his political affiliations and opinions more time than I have changed my socks.

He's now a person of the populist Right, opposes equal rights for gay men and women, opposed the measures to stop the spread of Covid, including opposing lockdowns. He's an arrogant person full of his own self importance.
