Are apparently those who have the nerve to criticise this govt. The 'merchants of doom'....
Really, Nicola?
Is it not also 'unpatriotic' to push a system which benefits & enriches a small group of already wealthy, by impoverishing & at the expense of, those who are now struggling with ridiculously high rents & a lack of jobs?
Isn't it 'unpatriotic' to allow large numbers of people to be homeless?
And isn't it also 'unpatriotic' to bring in tougher penalties to cope with the rise in crime which these policies have resulted in?

But it is such a good distraction strategy to blame someone else. Straight out of the Trump paybook.

But of course - they all have a copy. Dammit. We desperately need a good govt - one which will undo Neo Liberalism & repair the damage its done.
I'd like to think we might get one, next election but won't hold my breath.

you know things are really bad when they start talking things up like that.
The real estate industry is just the same, they're always saying it's a really good time to buy, when no-one actually is...

Which is when it is. Thing about property, it will never be cheaper than right now... Only problem is owning property is also more expensive by the day.
Screwed both ways...
