It is your Government who have “inflicted the maximum harm and damage” over the past 12 years. The majority of this has been self inflicted driven by political dogma. The rest by doing whatever it takes to keep 50-60 right wing nut jobs in the party happy, and to appeal to Farage’s supporters.
Instead of bashing the unions, you should be embarrassed and hanging your head in shame to have voted and supported this shambles of a Government. Name one thing that is better since they came to power. Then have another go at that long list of Brexit benefits.
I suppose you will try to argue that this disgrace is the fault of the unions.

Bucks is showing the same trait that I hope will eventually lead to the fall of this terrible and hopeless Government. A trait he shares with Johnson, Hancock, Truss, Barclay, Sunak and many more of his “friends” and “others”.
Arrogance.

Instead of blaming the workers and posting your crap on here, why don’t you get in touch with your “many friends” and the “many others” in this useless Government. All disputes are settled by negotiations. Better to get on with it NOW!!

How about a similar essay from you Bucks on people dying in ambulances because there is no space or not enough staff in our hospitals.
Will that be the fault of politicians of all parties as well?

Not an expert on these matters, but is BPG advocating Christians to support a man who fails to follow the majority of the 10 commandments?

Are we supposed to believe that “a key and trusted figure in the British royal household for decades”, with over 60 years of service, loaded with awards, a member of the Waldegrave family, presumably well educated and travelled “had no idea that what she was doing and saying was racist”?
