Will the right win and get rid of our rights?

If they have their way they will withdraw the uk from an Act in which we were the the primary instigator and which was largely drawn up by our government working with other European nations. Churchill was the strongest exponent.

It has stood us in good stead for 70 years.

Are we willing to lose such protection for the sake of an ideological stance by a minority in parliament?

Good post Cossy. My background and politics are not dissimilar from yours.

Nice post, Cossy.

Though I would differ from you in my judgement of the government during covid.

I think the initial response of the public was stupendous but its confidence was eroded over the 2 peak years by government incompetence. The NHS was magnificent considering the way the government stacked the odds against it. I think we were very lucky that Kate Bingham directed the vaccine roll out, she could have been another Dido Harding...

Yes, great post Cossy. I shall be voting strategically to hopefully bring about a Labour govt in the next election. I am not sure what we will get, but I do know what we will get if we return another Tory govt, and this woke voter doesn't want it.
