Spot the anomaly from 2019 (above) to now! I don't think any of those women would be posing in front of the red banners after today's announcements!
Our new Socialist government never misses an opportunity to tell us that The Tories left a 'Black Hole' in the economy of £20 Billion; a figure much contended by several official government bodies.
If they really do wish to make-up the missing Billions, there is no easier way than by stopping the money we give away annually to foreign countries. We give away over £15 Billion, often with no noticeable benefit to either them or us. A yearly percentage has been established, (0.5% of gross national income) and governments stick to it doggedly. I think it's time to say 'NO', until our own books are in order.
As someone recently said, "If we can afford to give away so much money, we must all be paying too much tax".
The Socialists don't seem to be managing the economy too well. Inflation is up, businesses are closing, farmers are furious, OAP's aren't happy, all those lady pensioners born in the 1950's (WASPI's) are up in arms. I haven't seen any unemployment figures recently, but they are bound to be up as well.
The usual Socialist suspects are now reneging on their promise to these female pensioners. Having given 100% support to the WASPI women whilst in opposition, they have now turned around to tell them they'll get NOTHING; and to stop moaning!
We are no longer surprised by such U Turns, they are becoming the norm.
Politicians lips moving..you are assured there is truth stretching , massaging, kneading , balled up and tossed around.
ReplyDeleteIt's about time they introduced some 'feel-good' policies. It's all doom and gloom.
DeleteLying is in politicians DNA.
ReplyDeleteI don't have any sympathy for the WASPI lot. They've had twenty years to sort themselves out.
The Us Labors would be amusing if they weren't such a treasonous bunch of cretins but never mind Starmer and his clique will be soon deposed by another clique of lefty loonies. What damage they will achieve only time will tell but it isn't going to be pretty.
They're certainly making a mess of things so far, they seem like a bunch of amateurs. They will be judged on unemployment figures and inflation. I'm expecting the worst in both cases.
DeleteI think the Tory government were spot on when they set the wheels on motion to equalize the retirement age. There was plenty of warning.
ReplyDeletePeople complain when something is taken away from them - even when it was obviously unfair that they got that advantage in the first place.
