We were called dramatic. Hysterical.

They did.
“They won’t ban books.”
They are.

Just remember:
1997 - Things can only get better, Labour voted into power
1998 - Labour introduced tuition fees - there was no mention of this in their manifesto

2024 - Labour voted into power
2024 (so far, there will be more) cuts, cuts, cuts including the removal of Winter Fuel Payment for pensioners - none of that was in their manifesto either

I made the mistake of commenting on a public news post over on CorporateBook about our record high temperatures, saying “if only we’d listened to climate scientists 50 years ago…” and all the crazies had to reply with the usual propaganda.

Yes, climate change has occurred naturally before. But never at the rate we’ve seen the last few decades.

I really should stop looking over there.
