    I switched on the TV to see Peter Bone saying it was essential to get out of the human rights act then right on cue Theresa May says we have to send the drowning boat people back......

    Before the end of the summer we'll have beggars on every street corner and cardboard boxes in every doorway filled with the homeless. Thatcher is back and big time.

    Those of us who wished the Lib Dems ill owe them a big apology. They were the only thing standing between the last government and barbarism.

    Roger- the streets of homeless will arrive shortly to every city after the welfare cuts to the under 25's bite. I remember the 80's well.
    And to come.... the human rights act, the threats to the BBC by the swivel eyed, UK marginalised by Europe, Tory infighting and weak governance, the rich getting richer and the poor, poorer, rampant ideological privatisation; this is going to be a tough five years for the UK. You and I will be fine, we don't need Labour, but I rather like living in a compassionate country.

    I'm still annoyed with Ed for putting his ego, and ambition beyond the utilitarian value to keep the Tories out.
    Tyson , do you actually live in this country? I thought you lived in Italy where they give migrants a train ticket to Berlin.

    OK- I live in Italy, but that doesn't mean to say I do not care about the UK.

    By the way the Tories approach to the boat migrants is disgusting and vile and makes me ashamed of my country. It makes me feel sick to the pit of my stomach. Day 6 of the Tories. Scum is frankly too good a word for this bunch of uncaring degenerates. Only another 4 years and 359 days to go and counting....
    So you think a better approach is to encourage people to risk their lives crossing the sea? Disincentivising risking your life to cross a sea is the compassionate approach.

    Mutterings about Starmer? Not a fan but he'd be way more of a threat to the Tories than any of the declared candidates.

    I'd say Yvette is looking value at these prices. However, I've already thrown my rations into Liz and Tristram (Danbo having gone).

    Exactly the approach the Australians took.

    And since we don't even border the Med - I find the wailing about it very strange. They aren't sailing here.

    Tyson.

    There's a gloom hanging over the UK. It's not that Labour lost it's that Thatcher won. While you were watching the homeless and the rent boys in the 80's I suspect Cameron was at Eton brooding over whether his fag was overcooking his toast.

    Why I was expecting the coalition Mark 2 is a mystery. You were absolutely right.

    Ok folks.

    Just to say that I'm leaving this blog. It's become a hang-out place for right-wing loons and fruitcakes (there are a few sensible right-wing posters on here but they are the exception rather than the rule). There is simply no balance here...

    Bye!

    Bit late to this, but I hope you stick around.

    (late) on-topic: has it really only been six days? It feels like it was months ago ...

    You'll only make matters worse if you leave...
