Are you an 18 year old in the UK?
Fuck your uni studies.
Fuck your job.
Fuck that person you’re caring for.
Who is going to employ any school leaver, knowing they’re going to be pulled into National Service when they turn 18?
*extract from todays Telegraph
@mickcarty It's full on self-sabotage.
They just alienated every single student and the majority of their parents in the UK. Deliberately.
There are kids celebrating their 18th birthday *today*.
They will vote in July.
@stueytheround
Have to conclude that Sunak is pursuing a scorched earth policy with the Tories. Will be unelectable for decades.
@mickcarty Good.
What I would *like* to see is the rise of LibDems as a strong, preferably principled (🤣) opposition. Having a genuinely viable alternative would be a gift.
@stueytheround
😂😂😂😂 Well, they did do really well when given a seat at the table with the Tories. What could possibly go wrong this time?
@stueytheround
They sold their souls
@mickcarty They let themselves be bullied by Cameron. If they were the actual policymakers, with a decent majority, I genuinely think they could do a decent job. They're certainly further to the left than Labour 🤣
I'm going to hold my nose and vote Labour in July, but I'd like for it to be the last time I need to do it.
