Too many people have been fed the 'the others will be as bad' rhetoric. How the hell do they know, it's been 13 years?

I was on that there tik tok, earlier, why I expressed my views on a post, showing Patel and Farage partying like the Conference was a rave, saying that working class Tories have a lot to answer for.
The response from one, was that they will vote for them as the best solution as the others will cause way more damage.
It defies belief (well mine, anyway!) that other parties would have been more corrupt, lying, self interested, racist and bigoted than this bunch! Listening to Braverman's speech and seeing that chap led out of the premises, by the arm, by a police officer for simply saying what he did, sums them up.
Labour would send us back to the 70s!
Tell them to look around at current state of affairs
Well they're all as bad as each other!
Ask if maybe trying one of the others can't hurt then?
Corbyn will bankrupt the country!
Mention he's been gone for years, and point to the current state of the treasury
Huh, what and let abbott do the treasury instead? Huh huh
Realise there really is no point and the deluded goon would vote to have his own bollocks removed with a rusty spoon if told to


We wonder how other countries can fall for the propaganda so easily, how people like Trump can possibly get in power, but we really are as bad as the worst of them. Only a fairer voting system can help us, but we were told to vote against that so we did.

They're definitely following the GOP playbook in the hope to cling on. I think they know PR will come in if they don't and then they'll never get in again,

The problem with fairer voting is Labour didn't want it either last time, as lets face it both parties rely on you voting against the other one just as much as people really wanting them. I suspect Starmer will be no fan of a fairer system either TBH, but you never know.

I've recently seen a number of posts about the save our hospital march, and how proud people were for being involved. You risk getting shot if you ask what good it did, cos people forget what we needed to do, to slow down the process!

Meanwhile, Sunak has just taken to the stage at the conference and, in the first 2 minutes, he's damned Labour for backing Corbyn and yet again lied about how he would have ruined us!
Just imagine if politicians were accountable for lying!
Let's draw up a list of how many things Corbyn was right about.

Sooooooo,,,, £36BN investment in the North and Midlands after confirmation of scrapping the Northern part of HS2.
Is that a last ditch effort of shining the magic light in front of the electorate's eyes? "You will forget the last 13 yeeeeaaars...bzzzzz!"

Yeah, right...

As with 'foreign aid', etc., who will actually get to keep the money and what will 'we' see as a result?

I think we know.

People who are still deluded at this point are beyond intervention.

Everything bad is labour's fault! Now about those trains we promised you...

The Tamworth by-election this week reminds me of the April 1996 by-election at the then South-West Staffordshire constituency when our Frederick Sandy stood for his Action Against Crime party.
Gaining only 53 of the 43,497 votes cast he came twelfth of the thirteen candidates. With 506 votes David Sutch of the Monster Raving Loony party did 9½ times better.
With Tamworthians so vehemently against "Action Against Crime" I concluded that that might be Staffordshire's most lawless town, so very different from its reputation of being where Robert Peel grew up before becoming "the father of modern British policing".
