The 2024 General Election 14:36 - Oct 10 with 18259 viewsjohnlangy

If Labour do win the 2024 General Election they will find themselves in a very strange situation regarding what they are able to achieve, at least in the short term.

People always want big, bold statements regarding huge investments in infrastructure, house building, energy developments to relieve our dependancy on other countries oil/gas and so on.

But I was struck by something Peter Kyle said yesterday. Labour will I’m sure make some major policy announcements but he also said this. Paraphrasing, he said it is shameful but it would be a huge achievement to get to a place where people could get an appointment with their GP, to get their NHS treatment that they’ve been waiting on for X years or to get a dental appointment.

He could have also said it would be an amazing achievement if, when people are mugged or their house is burgled that the police would turn up to investigate.

It’s a dreadful situation for the country to be in that the basic pillars of a civilised society aren’t there any more.

I’ve mentioned health but then there’s education (how many thousands of teachers are needed to fill all the vacancies which means our children’s education is suffering ?). And policing (see above) – the service is 20,000 officers short. No wonder the streets are becoming lawless. Then there’s the Prison Service and the CPS. It is all an utter shambles.

As far as I can see it all of this is down to one thing and that’s the austerity that the Conservatives have imposed on the country since 2010. They cut back massively in all departments in order to ‘bring the countries enormous debt down’. They asked that people accept the need for this pain and go along with it and that there was no other way to achieve the goal.

And after the pain of all that austerity where are we now ? In 2010 the debt was less than £1 trillion. It is now £2.6 trillion.

If they have cut back so enormously on spending, which by extension means that they were also able to cut back on borrowing, could someone explain to me where all this debt has come from ?

Calling you a liar, is that an admission that Drakeford is a liar then?

Anyway, the fact is you are the only person on here saying these words have been sung, and sung by thousands of people many times. if that s true then how come nobody lese has heard it?
Far be it from me to call you a liar though, lets go with you're mistaken, there must be a song that sounds like the words you think you heard.

Unfortunately I didn't make it to the game, my son was ill, but nobody else reports hearing it.
This is the kind of nonsense that erupts when we bring politics into sport, maybe the best lesson is leave politics at home and when at the game just support the team.

I can confirm 100% this was not sung at the stadium yesterday and I haven't heard it sung this season. Possibly the Welsh are not that bothered, after the mess Labour is making in Wales it's understandable.

This is why we should keep politics out of sport. When you have rabid supporters of either party it'll only end in arguments. Football should be an escape from the everyday shite.

PS, I am NOT calling any individual on here rabid, it is a generalisation.

It was not sung yesterday. But was at previous games. Sheff Wed as an example. I would think they are mostly Labour up North.
If anyone wants to call me a liar I am more than happy to meet for a “chat” and ask you to say it to my face.

Nobody's called you a liar but I am happy to say you are mistaken. I didn't hear it at the Wednesday game though I did hear the away end hurling abuse at their ownership.

I'm sure we'll meet one day and ifI've still never heard it being sung, I'll say so. Who knows, maybe it's me who is mistaken and maybe one day somebody else will hear it being sung.

So you are calling me a liar. I do not lie. Never do.
As I said, if you want a chat, let me know.

No, I didn't call you a liar. But you took it that way, that's up to you. The fact remains you are the only person on here who has heard this being sung so unfortunately you are mistaken.

No doubt we'll meet one day.

Anyone that knows me knows that.
If I am right about something I will always stand by it.Always.

Perhaps instead of “tories out” the crowd had noticed the keeper off his line and were shouting “score he’s out!”?

Poll: We all dream of a managerial team of Alan Tates?
