Politics (and other political stuff)
My grandparents have a dog named Boris - and even he would be a better PM than BoJo.
Whoops, I forgot it's a bad idea to share my dirty Tory views around here
In all seriousness though, given that this cost of living crisis is being heavily fueled by the 'special military operation' in Ukraine, and the sanctions imposed on Russia causing fuel, gas, and electricity prices to shoot up, and therefore increasing the cost of a lot of things, I don't think it's fair to blame that entirety on the Government.
As for the lockdowns, I think it's very difficult to find a balance between being too restrictive, and too open. In hindsight, maybe locking down earlier could have made a difference, maybe it wouldn't have. It's not really my field of expertise, but looking at the difference in restrictions between England, Scotland and Wales and the number of cases, they didn't seem to do a whole lot once cases were already high.
Anyway, I really don't fancy having a political debate (aka slinging match). Everybody is entitled to their own opinions, and believe it or not I do actually find it really interesting listening to other people's views. Despite me being a filthy Tory voter, my best friend is a Labour voter. And just because I voted Conservative, doesn't mean I agree with everything they say. Likewise, I there are some things that Labour say that I agree with.

(15 Oct 2022, 2:16 pm)streetdeckfan Can we please have Boris back!
, even though this one is pathetic, 3 female prime ministers and there all screwing the country up, first one stripped this country bare and sold what’s left of this great nation to join the EU, second one kept putting in the same agenda over and over and just kept changing the title of the agenda, third one still in at present but looks like she’s got the shakes or some kind of disorder, even the male PM’s are not that much good either, for Boris to get the agreement done with the EU on the last minute decided to bend over and asked the EU how far do you want to go to get the agreement sorted out.(15 Oct 2022, 2:16 pm)streetdeckfan Can we please have Boris back!

(15 Oct 2022, 2:16 pm)streetdeckfan Can we please have Boris back!Well apparently, Backbenches are trying to get Truss out next week, then get Braverman or Hunt to become PM (what could go wrong), Penny replacing either one, or get Penny to become PM.
(15 Oct 2022, 2:38 pm)Starscream Labour are screwed. But I think we all know they secretly like being the permanent opposition and are shit scared of having any real power, knowing as they do that they're even worse than the Tories when it comes to presenting a unified front.Labour are definitely more unified under Starmer, comparing to the Tories, have you seen whats going on between Braverman & Truss!!

They want to get as far away from the General Election.
Nadine Dorries doesn't think that is possibly (via leaked Whatsapp messages)
We are in deep trouble when Nadine is saying the most sensible things, with the latest poll totally wiping out the tories, they would keep 3 seats.

Polls are meaningless, it has been proven.
Starmer still can't stop McDonnell piping up to inadvertently remind everyone how close we came to crashing the pound for different reasons.
Starmer has massive credibility problems, not just over his attitude to unions and his policy vacuum. He's calling yet again for the PM to resign, as if nobody remembers a PM resigning is exactly how we got into this current mess. And quite a few others in recent memory.
Tony Blair (at the behest of Mandleson) would have been saying only one thing for the last six months. Call an election.
You either exude the confidence of a strategy and unity of purpose, or you don't. Starmer really doesn't.
Even now, with an open goal, he can barely land a punch before he's having to answer awkward questions about his own party.
I bet he secretly dreads being handed the shit sandwich that would be going into December needing to form a minority government or a coalition.
Hence his probably quite unconscious exuding of the air of a man who doesn't want an election to be called tomorrow. Even when he's poked and prodded to say directly to the audience, his wish is for an election tomorrow.
(15 Oct 2022, 3:30 pm)streetdeckfan Penny I didn't mind, but if Braverman or Hunt become PM, then I might have to turn to the dark side next election in protest!I don't think the conservatives can sort themselves out before the next election whenever that is, as something tells me it will be before 2025.
Under Starmer, Labour are infinitely more electable than they were under Corbyn, but I think if the Conservatives manage to sort themselves out they will continue to win elections.

There is no doubt Conservatives will come to power again, but whether they'll say in power this time. Everything the Tories have said its all been lies.
14 U-turns in 6 months....
Not to mention Therese Coffee who wants you to be able to buy antibiotics without seeing a GP, that sounds good untill you release the increase in Antibiotics resistance which isn't being talked about anywhere near enough about people not finishing their courses.
Therese Coffee is the Health Secretary
