henry d Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 Ok the unions got out of hand, however, for those who wore tank tops and wedges, were you aware that many firefighters at the time were on benefits (pre 78)? Obviously after that glass ceiling was broken, 10% at the time, other unions then reassessed what they were worth and perhaps this drove people to think about their worth to the whole of society. We now have a society that is asking questions of our politicians about the worth of essential services like the NHS which BoJo used on the battle bus and is now being placed slightly down the list as we Lurch towards the election.

Mice! Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 So Labour are staying neutral on Brexit??? So undecided or on the fence or just don't know which way to jump? So vote labour, they don't know what they want, so their not lying when they do nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mice! Posted November 23, 2019 Report Share Posted November 23, 2019 Its certainly going to be interesting in Lancashire, a large number of Labour councillors in constituencies that voted for Brexit in a big way, let's hope the voters kick them out, but will they? Happy to say the BP aren't running in my area so not to split the vote, but areas like Preston have been labour since the Second world war but voted for Brexit, plus Blackburn Burnley etc. Let battle commence.

Mice! Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Heard a cracker today, SNP nicola sturgeon will scrap Trident if she gets in???? That's going to go well at Faslane, but she'll apparently get everyone a similar skilled job, that's got to be thousands not voting for her straight off.

She has set it out as one of her red lines to do a formal deal with Labour if a hung parliament. Bin Trident, cancel Brexit and give approval for Scottish IndyRef2 in 2020. She’s a demanding sort....... Thing thing is I could see Corbyn saying yes to everything for a chance to get into no 10, if he doesn’t get it over the line this time then it is a busted flush for him and his cabal of Trot’ nutters.

At least she's saying what she will do, but that's a lot of people out of work, never mind all the other people and businesses nearby who will pretty much rely on Faslane and the money it brings. I hope it blows up in their face, but will it? I've no idea if Scotland wants another Ref? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
