:labour: šŸŒ… Red Dawn - Life Under Labour

Very successful - but he’s got form for being a snake oil salesman and racist knob & a lot of people flock to him because they don’t like Johnny Foreigner coming over here taking our jobs, houses, blocking up the NHS, getting free food and 5* accommodation (while not understanding the difference between illegal and legal migration)

If we’re stupid enough to vote him and his lot in at the next election then he’ll get found out just like every other party in power.

IMHO obviously :man_shrugging:

This is a fair concern - I dont think people are that bothered about migration per se (I would say that in the early days of freedom of movement people didnt give a shit at all) - however when the investment in housing stock and public services doesn’t meet the increased demand from years of migration, then there is dissatisfaction with migration as a policy, because find they can’t afford a house or get a GP appointment etc

The problem is migration has been weaponised by both sides - on the right we have its all their fault nicking our jobs bollox to the left where anyone expressing a concern about migration is labelled a little englander racist, also bollox

I worry that we are getting very close to ā€œwhat’s the worst that can happenā€ scenario. Plus the more money they get, the better their messaging, they will attract better quality people, they have momentum (ironically)

Just stumbled on this (sorry it’s t’Grauniad, but interesting)

If only someone had advocated benevolent Dictatorships…

Meanwhile

Oops

Coming back to this

The article mentions some areas of failure - the Liberal Elite policies - Thatcherism - but in fact those are failures of Capitalism.
At what point do we say people are being failed by out of control Capitalism? The never ending need to reduce costs improve shareholder value and forget about ā€œThe Worldā€

Now I am not advocating a sudden Marx/Lenin moment, but the system that failed may not be politics, It may be the fight between the elite to be the one who finally owns everything

The new government looks like it doesn’t have a clue. They just don’t do politics very well.

A lot of them have never been MPs before. The holdover centrists only really have recent experience of fighting like rats in a sack when a Labour man accidentally became leader of the Labour Party.

Both major parties could be facing oblivion.

And i only said labour were the new tories and all hell breaks loose :rofl::rofl:

When social media becomes demonetised and a sensible place to exchange ideas and hold rational debate?

You’re half right :lou_sunglasses:

Care to put a timescale on that? :joy::joy::joy:

How long you got / when AI crashes capitalism?

Is that booked for next week?

Well, your answer is that Starmer has just said said he’s going to unleash AI across the uk to drive economic growth….

I’m probably being cynical, but I’ve always felt that the originators of social media possibly didn’t have the wellbeing of humanity altogether at heart. That’s just a hunch, not based on anything concrete.

Oh.
So Monday afternoon then

Just before teatime I reckon

Strangely, even in my timr in Dubai, Ive never met a nice billionaire.

Apart from Tiger
