If you'd bothered to read what I wrote properly rather than thinking, "AHA! Another thing I can kick Cannon's bollocks for." you would see that I was, in fact, deriding that policy. The only bit I agree with is tax relief on private health care. Seems like a sensible idea to me. Taxing private healthcare is a typical Labour reaction: "Oh, we're not having anyone getting better healthcare even if they have paid for it!" that's the same mentality they have towards education. "We do not want grammar schools whereby some children have a better advantage than others; we want everyone to be equally thick!"

As I said, if we manage to reduce demand on the NHS, then Labour, especially, would probably look to cut NHS spending to help give the Train drivers a Porsche each.

I have no intention of "Promoting" Reform UK. They're too far right for me, but they do have one or two ideas in the manifesto that warrant consideration.

Yes, they do; you refuse to accept that. And your statistics are typical flawed data in an attempt to demonstrate some point.

David Cameron: He fucked off like the spoiled brat he is because he didn't get his own way.

Theresa May: While seeming to hold the reins, at least, was unable to make the horse go anywhere.

Boris Johnson: He was actually worse than I thought he would be. There were a lot of people willing to forgive his shortcomings, given his flamboyant personality and the lovable buffoon persona; however, while we knew he was a bit dim, we didn't realise he was an absolute dumb fuck.

Liz Truss: She was a great disappointment, but I'm not sure we can judge her fairly. I have a feeling others threw her under the bus. Even so, I'm not convinced she's PM material.

Rishi Sunak: He basically picked up the poisoned chalice when he became PM; I'd have given him a fifty-fifty chance of turning things around. The problem was that once boils, such as the COVID inquiry, were lanced, all the puss came out, and the slippery slope could not stop.

Unless we get a Tony Blair-type administration, there's going to be a lot of first-time voters in for a shock.

I await your regular disagreement. 🤣

@Steve
I'll agree with you while disagreeing.

They fucked up over and over again luck had nothing to do with it. I suspect the party chiefs had the same attitude that Camron had, "Nothing to worry about." Total arrogance and complacency was their downfall.

Oh, I could say loads.
They finally closed the Brexit deal.

They spent nearly a Billion during the pandemic. The problem is that Boris and his team cancelled all of that of their behaviour.

NI has come down.

There are loads, but I'd be wasting my breath because, on social media, the attitude is pretty much "Four legs are good, two legs bad." (Labour Good Tories Bad!) As I keep saying, that is no way to vote in any government.

I'm also modifying my opinion about a GE. I'm now wondering whether it will be November, as some are predicting. I'm wondering what, with ASLEF etc., the Tories might cut their losses and say, "Fuck it." 🤷‍♂️
