Doesn’t anyone else find this endless Tory Bashing a bit pathetic. It’s constant negativity, always predicting the worse scenario before they know the facts, I can only assume they enjoy being miserable. Most people would rather live here than anywhere else, that’s why most try to get here, it seems pointless living in a country you hate unless you enjoy moaning.

I love my country and I used to be proud of it. That’s why I’m appalled at what Conservative governments over the past decade have done to it. Many good, decent Conservative MP’s have either left the party or were pushed to do so. Even the (for the sake of balance) right wing representatives on the Sky News news report section seem to be struggling to say anything positive about the current government and it’s ministers.

Serious question. How can the NHS employ people who do not have a British Passport?

There an awful lot of NHS and other employees that don’t have UK passports, most do have working visas and most welcome they are

Pathetic?
Negative?
Miserable?
Moaner?

Can't understand why you even bother communicating with people like that. hmm

The Tories made one big mistake - backing Brexit, especially making Johnson PM purely on his talent for telling lies convincingly.

Since then I don’t believe Covid nor the Ukraine/Energy/Food crisis would have handled any better by Labour. Truss of course was a massive own goal. I’m not going to be voting Tory anytime soon but it makes no difference because they have massive 20000+ majority here.

I just read Sudan’s warring factions have agreed in principle to a seven-day ceasefire from Thursday (4 May 2023).
