After Nine Years Of A Tory Government

[TheDevil]

Child poverty is +50%
Food bank use is +1000 %
Homelessness is +170 %
NHS waiting lists are +70%
Police numbers are -20%
Crime is +30%
Local gov funding is -50%
Public sector pay is -15%.

I'll wait for people to say "Yeah but at least Boris isn't a terrorist sympathiser" or something negative about Tony Blair.

Where did you get your figures?

[TheDevil]

In 2009-10, 20% of children (2.6m) lived in households classed as below the poverty line

There were 4.1 million children living in poverty in the UK in 2017-18. That's 30 per cent of children, or nine in a classroom of 30.

I will provide other research later, as I did it at the time and did not make a note of the URL's I was on.

I am sure we don't need proof for police numbers and crime, do we?

Public sector pay doesn't need to be proved.

Yeah but at least Boris isn't a terrorist sympathiser.

[retrocop]

It was a positive step when Tony Blair was no longer P.M.

No TTT - just a racist philanderer born with a silver spoon in his mouth.

//born with a silver spoon in his mouth//

Labour politics of envy rises to the fore again.What does his birthright matter?

[emmie]

he was born in the USA, do they have silver spoons, crikey almighty...

Things are different in Diddly's parallel world.

[CrapAtCryptics]

Many of these things are self induced we all know the parents of these chiildren in poverty always seem to find money for drugs, booze, fancy phones, big TVs etc. How many of the foodbank users are genuine. How many of the NHS cases are self induced drugs, booze, punchups etc. Crime is voluntary but a career for many.

[Bobbisox1]

Why does anyone bother answering dumb and dumber,they don’t listen and never address a single post, they just steamroll through with c*@p

[diddlydo]

His birthright does matter as it means he's totally out of touch with ordinary people. They're not taught humility at Eton or Oxford.

[dannyk13]

Diddly, dis you attend either Eton or Oxford ? If not how do you know what they teach?

[teacake44]

@12.13 was just going to say that word for word :0)

[TheDevil]

Retrocop - "What does his birthright matter?"

It means he has no idea what it is like to be an average Joe.
