Something positive about this government

That we have not ended up like Greece. Yet at least.
When a Government is doing austerity, why should we be expected to sing and dance about it.
Sometimes in life, it is about the things that have not happened. And we should be grateful for that.

A percentage of them want us to stay in the EU

Oh dear, I thought you had thought of something (other than Theresa May's cleavage - Boom or Bust?)

I did think of something , God it was difficult

that I want to emigrate .....

That unemployment has dropped to the lowest lever in decades and we have more people in work than ever before.

That it is not a Labour government

That it's not a Corbyn government.

This government has it been in power even a year yet - remember the election in 2015? Ask me again in another 4 years.

A more reasonable question might be to ask what the previous coalition government did that was 'positive'.

..has not been in power ....

Nothing springs to mind

Can't think of one good thing.

Anybody got anything! Apart from negatives that is, like not a Labour Government?

Yep, under the new pip assessment rules, my son is quite a bit better off.

Nothing yet - I'll work on it, but don't hold your breath!

kitty excellent! That's one person.

Why are you disregarding mine?

Don't worry. I am more often than not disregarded. I sometimes think my posts are invisible to everyone but me.?

Don't hold your breath!

....I'm still thinking........

I'm with obieone- that we are not in Greece's financial mess and with Anniebach re staying in the EU. I reckon they have a sensible practical approach to the migrant crisis.
Also they have a better financial handle on things than our dratted Scottish Govt!

Mmmm, it's a tough one. I'm sure there's something - was it this government that finally got rid of that hate-monger with the hooks (name escapes me)?

obi sorry didn't see your post amongst all the others. Unemployment is now at 5% The lowest since the crash. However they still haven't got it as low as the period in which Labour held office, so I am not sure it can be classed as a resounding success, particularly as so many of the jobs are zero contract which has risen by 19% this year.

When asked what good things this government has achieved, the only pro-government responses rely almost entirely on rubbishing the opposition. That is apart from the comment that at least we are not in the same situation as Greece - which I think is a meaningless comparison because Greece isn't the 6th richest country in the world and it has a completely different economy from our own.

They have in effect been in power since 2010, as the Lib Dems had little restraining effect on them. Six years of worry and misery for increasing numbers of people, and with hardly any of the promised targets met. And there is more to come. The "jam tomorrow" promises are wearing very thin.
