I'd stay well away from the Labour Party, mate, they're full of shit as well.

We’ll get our chance again, the Labour Party’s dead and we can expect a new party of the left very soon.

Stay positive comrade!

You’re def doing your bit with insightful posts, always in tune with your stuff ✌️

A socalist government could sort all that out – we should NEVER give up on that aspiration!

I do like the idea of being part of a progressive social clique, though, we need a bit more of that kind of thing.

This means we don’t have any interest payments to worry about at all; and ‘the national debt’ is actually a GOOD THING because it means its flip side, surplus, is being used in the economy before it’s taxed out of existence.

Hi @callymeg.bsky.social I’m definitely concerned about others and how some are forced into debt by western capitalism, but my point was about our own economy.

I don’t know what source you’re quoting here, but the UK doesn’t ’borrow’ money, it creates it – and the government alone decides how much.

But these would be countries that don’t have a sovereign currency?

Unlike the UK, which does (so we don’t have to pay interest to anyone).

Are they literally ALL brainwashed?

Meanwhile we await some compassion for those in poverty from our actual government.

Not the first letter to make this sensible suggestion, and doubtless not the last to be ignored by Sir Starmblair and team.
