This is Labour all over though, isn't it? Having been roundly spanked and effectively told to fck off by the populace in the local elections, Keiff decided that what we needed, nay, what we were asking for, was more of the same - but faster and harder 😂

They are the party of useless slogans and affirmations - smash the gangs, fixing the foundations etc etc.

What a shame they don't treat us like adults.

Can you really mean that adults should be treated like… adults? Total counter-culture! How can I be saved from the trauma of your position?

Great job, Mr Gage…

Affirmations? I'm sure there's a good Yiddish adjective to describe what kind of schmuck hands them but only schlemiels believe them

Bravo! The cup of cold dog vomit might be the finest piece of writing I’ve seen today!

No I think the ‘sparkling Dalek soaked in Coca Cola’ wins! Or maybe the treble gin dressing the carpet?

Both damn fine choices!

It's quite ironic that the same people who push "trust the science" also shovel vast amounts of pseudo-scientific horse manure into our every day lives.

Not to sound like a curmudgeonly old man (even though I am), affirmations in my day were things like "There's no such thing as a free lunch," "you win some, you lose a bunch," or "ass, gas, or grass...nobody rides for free." Oddly, these made us feel better. I don't need to hear "You are loved;" I need to hear "when the going gets tough the tough get going" or "God helps those who help themselves."

Now THAT'S inspirational...😁

Indeed they are. Bravo, Mr. Gage.
