Gm nostriches, particularly those in the UK. History doesn’t repeat, but there is a little rhyming. 1997, massive labour majority, lots of “proposals to help those that need it” (missed opportunities in 1997, ‘cost of living’ crisis now). Main different this time, in 1997, deficit trending to zero, building the foundation of the internet revolution, taking down huge outdated 70’s public owned corporations, in 2024 things are all sorts of messed up. The money printer has been running for 27 years.

Jess Philips “everything I’ve got has been under a labour government”, question is, where has that come from? Sorry to say, all those things were likely paid for by debt, getting students into debt, increasing taxes, getting the best out of the good times, and leaving the world with the GFC.

On the plus side, thanks to Gordon brown, the family silver (or national gold) has already been sold, but then, does that mean he’ll be targeting the Crown Jewels this time? The “progressives” in the party would say royal privilege “isn’t fair” so we should get rid…… just a thought.

Keep calm, stack harder. #grownostr #coffeechain #ukelection https://image.nostr.build/5c2d18f673cc45514b4180d8cebf5fc87684f7580ebf0a6e05c679bddb8e4dad.jpg https://image.nostr.build/3b87cb7a1980be50b6e306236f5affd300e4fa60e12f56c3034c94a578729209.jpg
