Have I ever insulted you on here before Laughing? I don't think that I have. I can remember having a bit of a laugh with you and I can remember wishing you all the best when your daughter had been ill. You don't agree with me on Starmer. That's fine. I'm not sure why you think that having principles is childish. That seems pretty weird to me.
There is nothing wrong with principles, except when they can lead to self harm of yourself and others.
At the next election, whether anyone likes it or not will be one of Starmer or Sunak (unless tories have another vote). Ask yourself this, who is likely to cause more destruction to my community, my family, my country? The correct answer is Sunak. After another five years of the tories, how easy will it be to see a Dr, Dentist, will you be happy trusting a locum pharmacist who has an interest in making a profit rather than making you better so you don’t need to return to his shop and spend more money?
Who will do more to keep Police on the streets, fireman at their stations, trains running on tracks, teachers in schools, Drs, nurses and dentists retained in the NHS? Who will do the most to ensure you can still access an NHS free at the point of access come 2029 when the country will be a very different place if you make a bad call?
There is nothing wrong having views and strong principles, but to get to where you want to be from the place we all are starting at is never gonna happen overnight. To build a dream house you have to lay a brick, then another and another, it takes time, a lot of effort and never happens in an instant. Politics is a journey and it is a journey you need to take people with you, just saying something will be better isn’t enough, you have to gain peoples trust before they will follow, people do not like major changes, it frightens them, you have to build that trust and make those changes bit by bit so as to enable them to feel comfortable and happy with how things are developing. The alternative is people will stick with the devil they know and you and your principles get taken further away from your preferred destination making it harder to get to where you want to be.
