Who would you vote for? Genuine question

[Protheroe]

Farage led Brexit, which to all but the most stubborn and deluded is clearly the most stupid decision for this country in decades.
Reform is a hot potch of hate fuelled morons and far right Tories(the same Tories that had over a decade ruining the country and getting cast into the wilderness. To vote for them as a change is utterly bonkers. I'm also deeply suspicious of their backers.
As for the mess, if you want one catch all blame it's the banks. I've read a fair bit on this and clearing up the crash and saving the banking system in 2008 has fallen on all us. It's seen a generation of inflation eating at our incomes and austerity ruining the infrastructure.
Add the cost of Covid, the mess of Brexit, and dealing with a lunatic in America it's made running the country extremely difficult.
I hope Labour can turn it around in the next couple of years as they are the most stable solution to the mess we find ourselves in.

It's not "the banks", it's how the banking system was bailed out through the wholesale nationalisation of private debt.

As I said at the the time, and ever since - it is one thing protecting modest depositors, it is wholly another thing creating the moral hazard of encouraging risk without consequence.

Private debt markets now carry even more risk than the banks ever did, which will be the next crisis.

Here is a good example of how the lies can become reality for some and how racism is being used and normalised.

Along the same lines, regarding the pushing of the narrative that things are so bad, me and friends were talking recently about how much violence there was in the 80s and 90s. There was constant rucks between schools when I grew up between all the Sandwell schools around me. Rival gangs scrapping like the Brandhall Bootboys and Smethwick Hill Top which was mad at times. Local pubs would see scraps most weekends with some pubs being avoided at all costs because of it. Football violence made most Saturdays home and away like tip toeing through a minefield.

I know knife crime is horrendous these days but let's not pretend the 80s and 90s were a period of love and harmony.

That said, I felt safer in spotlessly clean downtown Detroit than I ever do in Birmingham or London. The data will tell you I should have felt otherwise of course.
