    Honestly their walk back of the net zero has made me never want to vote for them again.

    The planet is fucked, at this point nothing else matters, we aren’t doing anything about it because Sunak is cosied up to fossil fuels and is too busy flying his private jet about.

      not their killing off of poor and disabled people though, or their racism, or transphobia, or deliberate destruction for personal profit of all public infrastructure, or their lying, or cheating, or corruption or…

      Maybe not the point you think you’re making there champ.

        Sigh
        Way to win someone over to your cause. You had a sympathetic ear there and you wasted it.

            Look, you can be right, you can stick it to everyone you want. It’s your call. But I know enough lonely people who took every opportunity to jump down peoples throats.

      And their decade of making the country worse for everyone but the ultra wealthy was ok?

        Not ok but it’s what people knew they would do when they elected them, so them then doing it shouldn’t really change people’s opinion of them.

      To be fair, their walk back of net zero might of got them 500 extra old age pensioner votes, assuming that the oap’s are able to survive the winter covids, heating costs, and cost of living costs. And they can’t get past the polling stations needing extra ID.

      They did that because they believed their own rhetoric. They made up all sorts of nonsense about ULEZ, which successfully confused enough of voters that they won Boris Johnson’s old seat when really they wouldn’t have. But this made them think that people don’t care about environmental policies. So they decided that it would be a great idea if they walked some back, because clearly that would get them some votes right?
