Starmer's vision quest

[Stevo 666]

Maybe true, but what it doesn't indicate is that Starmer's attempt to woo back the Reform minded is working.


Here's our resident Thatcherite, who apparently thinks the current Thatcherite PM is left wing. Feel free to comment when you have something useful to say @Stevo 666.

Not my problem if you can't face the facts.

There was a time when police were respected

When was that?

Attitudes in Europe are hardening

Uk should definitely follow suit

Do we think the right to have 'equality of arms' in legal process is outdated?

Red tape innit.

If you're not a British citizen you don't get legal aid paid for by British people

 

[Bromptonaut]

If the British government is trying to screw you over then you get legal aid.

It's that simple.

When was that?

When I was old enough to get into mischief in the 70s we did respect the police. Not only were they just doing their jobs, and we knew we were up to no good, but they were locals. We knew where they lived and they knew where we lived. First port of call if caught was a knock on Dad’s door to have a chat. That usually meant a stiffer punishment than what plod could do.
Simpler times when everyone knew where they stood.

… there will be a lot of regret.

I doubt it. A lot of people will vote for them, watch everything burn, and then shrug their shoulders and say things like “it was time we let non-politicians [Sic.] have a go”.

I presume the caveat to that which the Tory graph conveniently ignore is that some may be revealed to be offenders once we’ve done our due diligence.

I could be the insurance implications bring this situation to a halt.

"Any changes to your policy sir?"

"Well, err, we do have a few arsonists, murderers, rapists staying with us for a few weeks"

Well that's nice and I'm glad you have had significantly more pleasant experiences with the police than I have over my 39 years of existence.

Weren't the 70s a time of peak crooked copper?

I also imagine that if the poster's complexion was of a darker hue their experience may have been different.
