That's a perfect example of how to politely disagree with someone. I wouldn't want us all to agree nor be on the same side of the political spectrum, it would be very dull. I think by closing down debate he perhaps means calling people idiots and telling them to go to Venezuela to which its almost impossible to reply.

People complain about everything the conservatives do, not necessarily because they have done anything wrong, but just because they are the conservatives, I do find that is somewhat indicative of limited thinking.

If people don't like the UK they are free to leave, instead of constantly moaning about it, aren't they?

As the government of the day, they (The Conservatives), make the decisions that affect EVERONES lives.
If they cant take criticism, they shouldn't be where they are.
Yes, some complain but, people like yourself, abjectly fail to accept that they are making poor decisions.
You have tried to throw your usual anti socialist self made soundbites at this subject and you are on a one man/woman mission.
Even the most right wing Troy press have taken the same view as I did when opening this thread but, you cant help yourself with stupid comments and you've STILL to add an opinion to the debate.
Hell, you're not even brave enough to say when they have clearly got something so badly wrong.

Open debate is very healthy and you may even learn something if you care to listen or read

Come on pal, what is your opinion on the handling of EXAM RESULTS, that is the topic here.

If they actually did a competent job then we and all the press would not be able to find fault unfortunately in virtually everything they have done as been a failure requiring a U turn. This is coupled with their dogmatic approach to continue to believe they are right despite the evidence pointing to the opposite. The problem with this approach when a pandemic hits means we have the highest death rate in Europe exacerbated by their inability to do the basics like prepare for it despite warnings and even then look to blame others the last resort of a desperate government. Then we have education, once again despite warnings these were ignored and now we see students trying to resurrect their education at new universities because their first choice is full. What does the government do but dig their heels in and now it was nothing to do with us but the regulator as per usual.
I am afraid that this will continue with Johnson because he is no more than a front who has surrounded himself with a cabinet of failures who have been appointed because they will accept rule by Cummins. I can’t wait for Brexit to arrive based on the way things have gone how do you think that will go.
I wait for IR80 to advise what the government have done which was a success and help improve both the death rate and improve students educational future. I don’t consider changing the method of counting the dead as a success.

You will never see anything a Conservative government do as a success, you simply believe that Socialism is the answer, if anypne is dogmatic, it's quite possibly you.

That's probably based upon the experiences of the last 12 years of Tory government.

So, using the words of John Cleese, "What have the Tories ever done for us?"

rlquite a lot, actually.rl

if you take of those red tinted spectacles for a while.

Reduced the deficit (until Covid came along at least)
Record Public Sector investment
Delivering the will of the electorate by leaving the EU
Protecting our defence capability

and that is just in the early years, after Labour plunged us into recession.


they haven't engaged in illegal war, sold our economy down the river...

a damn sight more than Labour ever achieved.

So that's a NO then,
We can read the papers, listen to the news to see what has happened, which was exactly why I began the thread
.
I've clearly shown my opinion and I asked YOU for YOURS but, you dont have on or, maybe are unwilling to share it.
That's how debate works, an exchange of information or opinion.

So, do you agree that they made a balls of things or did they get it right.
Come on, tea or coffee question, lets see if YOU can answer.

Come on pal, that's 2 simple chances to answer a simple question
At least we know for sure that you have no opinion.

You cant say that I didn't try to engage but, even a question with only 2 answers seems beyond you

No answer is still no answer, if you cannot defend the government’s actions with regards handling the pandemic and education we must presume your sole purpose is to just disrupt the thread. We gave you several opportunities to tell us why their actions were acceptable but chose or could not do so.
