"No bias either way from me, just a question from an observer"

It's easy when you're not in power to make all the right noises. But Labour have famed themselves upon occasion for making the wrong noises while in opposition.

Who knows really. But Labour has no moral high-ground in nearly 2 years of this - I find that absolutely extraordinary.

Morally they are head and shoulders above the conservative party. Which to be fair isn't very hard.

And yet we have no demonstrative proof of that. The usual virtue signals that they often run through with an express train I suppose . . . but . . .

Just two grudges working against each other in the same sphere. One with power and one without.

However, that isn't the question. The motion appears to have passed with the support of the opposition...

Do people genuinely think that Labour would be as self servicing and corrupt as the current government?

I'm not saying they wouldn't be for sure. But it's hard to imagine they would be.

Could you imagine a World where the 5 bar KitKat became the 4 bar KitKat. 'Take a break. Just get back to work quicker'. A Tory plan to feather the nests of the business owning party faithful, or just another conspiracy theory spread by forked tongued lizard people?

The motions have passed, and SKS is critical of the government, saying that it's only due to his party that the restrictions have passed. Would he prefer they hadn't passed?

What he is saying is that these measures needed to be brought in.

It is the job of the conservative party to govern as they are the largest party.

They are not doing that by voting against their own government.

So he has had to bail out the people who are meant to be in charge.

This is a problem as without opposition votes the government cannot pass votes. This means it cannot govern. It cannot do its job of passing legislation. It's effectively not a government and Johnson has lost his authority.

Voted to take £20 a week/month off the poorest

Voted to dump shit in rivers

In favour of stripping the right to protest

So pretty much all of the current bunch

Actually Boris said 7 days ago . . .

'The prime minister said people had the right to protest peacefully but those who clashed with police were "a betrayal of the cause they attempt to support . . .'

So clearly a supporter of the right to protest.

The words he says aren't reflected in the policies he promotes.

Shocking to think that Boris Johnson would lie. But there you go.

Also, these words largely depend on how you define "clash with police". Some protestors cause violence, some otherwise peaceful protesters use their faces repeatedly against police batons, shields and boots. All to be considered clashing with police, and illegal.

Although, we're currently protected under the European Convention of Human Rights. The government is planning on binning it, so we will see.

Good! can't be giving 20 quid to poor people. We have tory donors with offshore accounts that need filling.

Of course they can.

We support these measures but think they should have been brought in weeks ago as per my statement to the house on the xth of whatever.
