Why are we angry?

Primrose53 I totally agree with you. My recently widowed daughter and her three sons recently had to find rented accommodation as her landlord wanted his house back to live in, fair enough. She couldn’t afford the privately rented accommodation so went to her local council. They have no temporary housing for homeless families at all as it has all been taken by asylum seekers. That information came from the Potentially Homeless Housing Officer. So they were going to put her in temporary accommodation miles away where she wouldn’t have been able to afford to get to work for the length of time she might have been there. Good news is that literacy by the skin of her teeth she managed to get a small terraced house, which she can walk to work from. Big sigh of relief she got it before the bailiffs came.

I'm not angry, just glad to wake up every morning to enjoy the day ahead.

I know what goes on behind closed doors with men like that Sue. It’s not pleasant. I had 23 years of it, latterly small child included (who chose years ago to no longer see his father).

An angry workman, whose van was parked on the pavement, shouted at me and DGD today, "the bollards are there for a reason you know". All we did was to niftily over his pesky little hosepipe. If we have circumnavigated and gone round the other side, we would have been run over by cars!

There was a very angry person in town on Saturday. He was walking along the street whilst shouting in his wife’s face, with their small child looking on. It was really very intimidating and a number of people looked very uncomfortable but no one intervened.

If he does that in public you wonder what goes on at home.

Well said MadeInYorkshire. Preying on vulnerable people to bolster their approval ratings.

Im not angry and the people i know are not angry. Strangers i meet are pleasant, chirpy and chatty. 😃

Same here😃
The odd person here and there has a moan but really most I meet are just glad not to be going around masked.Seeing our family and friends and living normally again is what counts.

Yes, thank you MadeInYorkshire- orchestrated and very very deliberate, to hide their massive failings behind.

I know a lot of people who are very angry about the daily influx of hundreds of people on rubber dinghies. They are angry because people already living here are waiting for social housing, dental care, operations, school places etc. They find the daily news reports depressing as nobody seems to be sorting this out.

I know this will offend some people on here but it is true. It is the most talked about topic we hear from all our customers. Some say “don’t even start me on this. I am sick of it.”

Yes everyone's talking about it, but can you not see that this is a crisis of the govt's own making? It is deliberate, in the hope that people will vote for them come the election ..., this could've been sorted YEARS ago, but it suits them not to, to stir people up, which is exactly what it is doing!

Yes, people are having issues with healthcare, dentists, social housing etc, but again, they've been in govt for 13 years, and they are all deliberate crises again, defunding the NHS in order to sell it off, NIMBYISM with social housing etc which ties in with the "Where has all the money gone?" thread ... to their mates, their families, expenses and corruption!, amongst other things!

I do know many feel really stretched due to cost of living crisis, etc, but really

'You can join for as little as £15 a year (or £6 if you are in receipt of state benefits). How much you pay is up to you, the average is £50'.

It is very possible to help with planning the campaign by joining a Party, and give them financial and practical support.

I have neither the time or the money to support political parties, but if you have, then go for it.

Thanks. I can assure you that membership for most parties, is NOT expensive- and this especially if you are retired.

I totally agree Primrose53 .
But I really need to withdraw from Twitter etc as the daily supply of disturbing negativity on absolutely every subject is enough to fuel everyone’s acute anger!
But the one that disturbs me the most is a growing open hostility from many young people towards many older people. Just because they are older and often frailer they are often made to feel like ‘users and abusers’ of the system!

I don’t do Twitter thank goodness Lizzie12.

Strangely enough I never have planned an election campaign
😂

Are you going to say what you’ll be doing this week to help the cause?

It’s far too early for leafletting and door stepping. There’s nothing to do at the moment Fleurpepper.
What are you planning to do yourself right this minute?

blimey- can't imagine you have ever planned an election campaign. It does NOT being with leafletting and door stepping!

Your choice.

Quite.

I don’t have the slightest desire to join an election campaign. Better things to do with my time. I will vote when the time comes.

which is why it is important to prepare now
Neil Kinnock and Paddy Splashdown said much the same thing: that all ended in tears.
