Re: Britain is broken
The guy called it right, but do labour offer anything different?

Absolutely. Let's hope the majority of people in the UK agree with him.

Re: Britain is broken
Of course not. Yesterday they said "we support families." What does this even mean? And to those of us who don't have families (as in children), I suppose we're obsolete(?)beingsoblase wrote: ↑Fri Mar 10, 2023 6:51 am The guy called it right, but do labour offer anything different?

Re: Britain is broken
He was spot on when he said the Tories couldn't fight the next election on their record of this last Parliament . It's been a fucking shambles
Maybe if they had carried out the promises they made at the last election , which i believe promised to stop the invasion and control the borders , they may have stood a chance .
Alas , it's too late and as the OP suggests , Britain is broken and there's no going back

Re: Britain is broken
I think it can bounce back. The fundamental problem is the British political system views its people as a cost, not an asset. Higher taxes and well-run public systems, so people can be well-educated, have good jobs, be safe and healthy, is the cornerstone of societies that invest in their people. We've just never had an honest conversation about tax and spend.Salem wrote: ↑Fri Mar 10, 2023 9:56 am He was spot on when he said the Tories couldn't fight the next election on their record of this last Parliament .

A couple of days ago I was listening to a discussion about childcare.Vespa wrote: ↑Fri Mar 10, 2023 10:22 amI think it can bounce back.

A woman called in. British, but married to a German. Both professionals.
They had lived in Berlin when their children were born, but moved here recently ( I think to Leicester).
They have both resumed their careers here.
She was shocked. In Berlin childcare was free. Here is is (a) hard to find and (b) expensive ( she mentioned £13000 per child). There is a childcare payment, but not enough and not for high earners.
For two children they have to earn £32k before tax just to have their children cared for.
They have been talking about her giving up her career.
In Berlin public transport was easy , cheap and reliable.. Here they have had to buy a car.
Did they pay more tax in Germany? Yes, by about 10%
What did they get for that? See above. Lose your job, get 70% of what you earned for a year, then £600 pa after that.
What will the Tories offer at the next election? Lower taxes.
What will Labour offer? No higher taxes
No-one is prepared to grasp the nettle that we need higher taxes and greater infrastructure, both hard and soft.
