    Oh I definitely agree, and I didn’t vote for them. However I was still cautiously optimistic when they won last year as I thought surely they have to be an improvement over the Tories? Turns out I couldn’t have been more wrong

      Personally I had lost all hope on those fuckers as soon as I saw how they went after Corbyn.

      Then again I was just an EU immigrant in the UK and left after the Leave Referendum because that was the drop and I lost all hope for the UK as a country (I kept up following UK subjects for a while, hence actually caring about the whole Corbyn thing, but that slowly tailed of after a few years)

      In the years since periodically some news or other comes out of the UK that just confirms my decision to leave Britain as one of the best in my life.

      PS: Also, full disclosure, I was a Greenparty member back in Britain, so I was always significantly left of New Labour and didn’t have a good opinion of them. Mind you, they still exceeded my expectations … on the downside.

        Oof yeah I can’t blame you for leaving after that, I can’t imagine it made you feel particularly welcome! Things do seem to be getting worse and worse every year
