Thread Name: BS: UK General Election
Subject: RE: BS: UK General Election
I should like to remind you of what you are very keen on reminding me about, that we have had a Tory government for just two years. Also, SHE appointed Hammond, and Cameron resigned despite promising that he would stay on even if he lost the referendum, having also vacuously promised to trigger Article 50 the very next day. The Tories andLibDems were the architects of the fixed-term parliament setup which has now been demolished on tbe slightest of opportunist grounds. Your post is a list of excuses. She has called this election so that she'll get, she hopes, a big enough majority of toadies to see off her own right wing. It's all about the Tories and nothing about the best interests of this country. By the way, Labour did a lot of things wrong apropos of the NHS, failing to get to grips with its top-heavy bureaucracy and allowing in creeping privatisation for example, but when they left power there was no massive crisis in A&E departments, no bed-blocking and very little failure to meet 18-week waiting times. By their fruits shall we know them, old chap, but please don't let the facts get in your way on this fine spring day.
