This Government!!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-45740427

She can now see the long term economic effects the BS Tory strategy of austerity has had. Rather than supporting the people and economy through a recovery they just taxed the crap out of us but don't even give us anything back. NHS is just dead, the roads are all soo bad rush hour lasts about 4 hours twice a day. Public schools are getting worse and worse the standards of teaching and quality control on teaching is at an all time low and for English pepole the tuition fees for Uni are three times what someone would pay in if they are from Scotland. Councils don't even have the funds to take the rubbish away.

I was at Liverpool game last week midweek and parts of it look like a third world country with heaps of garbage at the end of the street and crap strewn across the road.

This little gremlin is now gonna try and backtrack so she stands a chance in the next election. I was for the Conservatives, I appreciated the real outlook they used to have. The focus on business and a free market was the way forward to generate jobs and generate consumer spending to boost the economy. Brexit is essentially a kick in the nut sack of any business big or small, many investment opportunities have already been lost to the UK. Labour all the way for the next one.

Sorry rant over

I'll say this about the PM.......

Brexit or no, it feels like she's seriously out of her depth.

She crumbles under the slightest pressure in televised interviews or even being asked questions (when she shows up) by audience members.

Maggie Thatcher Mark 2? No chance, the only thing she has in common with Maggie is gender. Maggie would destroy her in a debate.

Good article. Vote Labour you know it makes sense.

I'd rather be disemboweled with rusty spears!

Neither party are going to help you. One will be up front and stab you in the front while staring you in the eye.

The other will smile at you, promise you the world - and then stab you in the back!

I'll leave it to you, to work out which is which King!

The problem isn't immigration - it's a lazy government who have failed to anticipate increased immigration and invest in infrastructure to ensure that it can be accommodated properly to the benefit, rather than detriment, of society.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
With open borders it is impossible to 'anticipate increased immigration. While freedom of movement exists in this country the government cannot plan how many houses to build, how many school places are needed or how many hospital beds. Net migration could be 100,000 or it could be 500,000 and the government has no control.

That is why it is crucial to control our borders. Only then can we truly blame the government for failures in public services and house building.

"Rather than supporting the people and economy through a recovery they just taxed the crap out of us but don't even give us anything back. NHS is just dead, the roads are all soo bad rush hour lasts about 4 hours twice a day."

More money is being put into the NHS now than at any other point in history. It's not just about funding, there are other factors at play.

If you think immigration has had no impact on these things then you're blinkered or deluded. 83% of population growth since 2001 has been caused by immigration. That's a lot more people using the NHS, a lot more cars on the road, and a lot more competition for school places.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And a lot more people paying into the tax system. Immigrants are net benefactors to this country. Read a book you bigot.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Some immigrants are net contributors, some are here to take advantage of the welfare state. Quite a few are working in menial jobs which means they are not net contributors although do pay some taxes.

Its important to distinguish between them and set limits in the national interest. Its impossible to do that while this country is still in the single market
