13 years in power, 5 Prime Ministers, almost all of the print & commercial broadcast media cheerleading for them, 4 general election victories, 80 seat majority at the last one, Brexit ‘victory’ etc etc. And here’s the Daily Mail’s Florida correspondent, Richard Littlejohn…
@mrjamesob People should ask themselves "Am I better off today than I was 13 years ago?" "Is the country in a better state?" "Am I happier than I used to be?" "Does the UK have more respect now than 13 years ago?" "Am I satisfied recent governments are doing a good job?"
@IanSherer @mrjamesob I sometimes look back at 2012, the London Olympics year, and am acutely aware of how far we have fallen since then.
@IanSherer @mrjamesob A question I often ask myself in times like this or in the run up to elections is "what have I seen from the current government that I would like to see more of?".
@IanSherer @mrjamesob The problem isn't that people don't see that, it's what they blame the problems on.
@IanSherer @mrjamesob Unfortunately, some of them actually are happier because they can be openly bigoted and couch it in "cultural differences".
@IanSherer @mrjamesob What was that word you had to use in a question in Latin expecting the answer “no”?
@IanSherer @mrjamesob The answer to all of which is a big, fat, unequivocal "NO!!!🤮👎🤮💯🤮
@IanSherer @mrjamesob I am. For sure. After Labour ruined the country it was hard to get worse, but it's a definite yes to all of the above.
