But...but, I was always told the country was only safe in Tory hands
Allardyce never gets relegated. Only a lunatic would think Trump could actually win. Teresa May will increase the Tory majority massively in 2017. Etc.
People believe all sorts of shite that they really shouldn't.
We all know that the 70s are a vision of hell that we never want to live through again & that the 80s were the great renaissance & a golden age.
But if you look at "growth" as these twats keep spouting, the 80s were not much better than the 70s. Unemployment went into overdrive & industries were closed down. There was barely ANY growth as measured against GDP across the entire decade. Everything was funded by flogging off anything that wasn't nailed down to the private sector.
This lot don't have a massive pile of state assets to sell off so how the **** are they going to make it work? It's all shite. Supply side economics is a proven failure for over 40 years & yet it still has traction. Why? Because the ****ing rich are the only ones who benefit from it & they can afford to pay to make sure it still gets discussed & advocated for. News channels & newspapers don't tend to be run by anyone other than billionaires after all.
Safe in their hands? What annoys me most is that it's so easy now to actually check the facts & yet people don't. They carry on believing bullshit received wisdom & platitudes.
I suspect the whole reason for the carefully managed mistrust of facts & "experts" & the explosion of nutjob conspiracy theories in recent years is actually because information is so freely available. They want people to not trust it so they won't look it up.
I mean apparently the whole "austerity" thing was supposedly to bring down the national debt. By 2019, just before Covid, it had gone up 75% So that worked well then.
Bunch of ****s.
