About The Author
The people have voted with their reproductive rate that they do not want growth, that they do not want to bring children into the world that our governments have left us with, and it is clear that this is a global problem.
The solution is looming clearly, that the world has to go to war with everyone else.
Less excess is needed, less waste, and less destroying the lungs of the earth – the tropics and oceans.
Build on football stadia and race courses, and gamble on increasing productivity per unit area and per person instead, and leave the golf courses as an aspirational goal for all workers and retirees.
Whoever heard of golf hooligans and family breakdowns and poverty, addiction and suicides caused by golfing? Golf widows, maybe, but I would bet they treasure the freedom to enjoy their own pastimes, and the peace their other halves' absence allows them.
I don't golf and the nearest I ever came to it was on a putting green, but it is a great use of well-kept land that can support grass, trees and water, walkers and nature in a pleasant setting, that both sexes can enjoy without their children if wished.
The owners of some courses, though, the world could happily do without.
All this talk about borrowing is good if it grows the economy. Theyâve been talking like this for decades but we are still flint and the country is falling apart infrastructure wise.
It is strange they dont start with education
Labour are all for Marxism nothing more, jobs for the boys and f**k the rest is their mantra
Labour thought there was billions in the economy to be sheared. Problem is there wasnt any fat. now they are going to have to hurt millions of people to get the billions they need to get that dopamine fix that socialists get when spending money on foreigners, vanity projects and union mates.
Vote Reform
Seems odd to be hammering businesses with more tax and then expect them to invest and grow.
There was no nhs to leave in a state post war
I think hs2 was a labour pipe dream ,another one was the removal of the hard shoulder on motorway,something else weâve had to reverse
One change I would make would be make all prime ministers and cabinet ministers accountable for their mistakes .
The Labour Party are dirty filthy LIARS
Rachel Reeves is a dirty filthy LIAR
Disgusting dirty lying People who are clearly HATED by the entire country
Angela Rayner ………what on this gods earth allowed her a voice in any Government?
Yuk yuk yuk ……disgusted woman
Crisis what crisis. Welcome to 1970s Liebor
If t he left can't win they try to change the definition on anything from gender to what a working person is
Golf! Best way to ruin a good walk
I am 68 now. Let them borrow borrow and borrow. I won't have to pay back in 10 years. Our kids will have no life left. Those on benefits that never work are the only winners.
My daughter thought long and hard before she voted, sheâs 28 so doesnât really remember a Labour government, she listened to what I had to say, and other âolderâ people, and decided that voting Labour would be a disaster for this country!
I myself, couldnât vote for reform right now, I knew they had not a chance in hell, possibly in the future, but there was no way they were going to win, so I voted conservative, Iâve never been destitute under tories, I work a just above minimum wage job, and I get by, after tomorrow Iâm most certainly going to be worse off!
Highest taxes since the war and yet more taxes required wonder if immigration has had a positive effect?
It's very right-wing in here. I'm out.
Just deport anyone who shouldn't be hear and leave golf alone đ
Cut social spending. No economy was ever taxed into prosperity.
Deal with the immigrants, we canât afford them.
Leave the ECHR as a starting point.
Yeah more houses less pensioner golf
Historic in as much it will be Liemores final nail in their coffin!! Doubling bus fares hits the poorest once againâĻ
So 2% of the uk landmass is golf courses and 1.5% is housing??
That sounds like utter bollocks.
They voted Labour because they wanted the Tories out. Who would have thought at the time Labour would end up making the Tory look good.Was that the plan is Starmer a Tory plant.
Can labour define what a woman is and what an illegal immigrant is?
Stop the boats 3 million a day .
What could you do with that .
If you say that to the home office .
6mts cut half see how they do
Scandinavian Tax Level. Venezuelan Public Services.
Historic ainât that the truth all in the wrong direction goverment thieves
What amazes me the more we are robbed by the rich pigs, the less we get, those tax havens will start sinking under the weight of money
Golf courses đ¤Ŗ
Borrowing Money and hiving it away at the same time is madness
Anybody who believes the comment on golf courses needs to have their head examined.
Cut social spending drastically, reduce taxes, and deport all illegal immigrants, as-well as adding a reasonable deterrent against illegal immigration.
How much money is made on golf courses though, compared by the outcome of houses?
The tories to blame for allowing this rabble party in
Reeves is so incapable makes it up as she goes along and starmer clearly out of his depth as pm
