I’ve actually run out of shocked faces even on a keyboard now with the Tory’s.

Nice fat (probably interest free) loans for their chums and northern public schools having to rely on meal handouts due to under funding.

We’re way past investigations now for these ministers, they just need to disappear as a warning to future politicians.

Feels like we're at a point where these scandals come about and absolutley nothing happens we get soundbytes about how "id like to talk about stopping the boats, and getting on with what really matters".

We have history here if you swindle money via covid nothing happens, Michelle Mone lied about her involvement with medpro didnt declare any intrest in the company, lobbyed for them and profited to the tune of 24 million, she even got lawyers involved to try and cover it up, whats happened to her nothing.

One domestic policy proposal I really like of Labour’s is sticking VAT on private school fees, and removing their charitable status. Fully approve of that.

I don't think Telegraph readers need worry. Not only does the UK public have a seemingly inexhaustible appetite for right wing propaganda, there always seem to be plenty of billionaire influence-mongers around the world only too eager to deliver it to them.

EDIT: Good thread title and I would also have accepted 'Telegraph poll'.

While this paints the UK in a bad light, the question being about 'Teenagers' does make it a more complex discussion. A twenty something year old getting access would probably yeald different results. Teenagers upto 18 are still children and that puts a different spin on it.

There are a few little ****ers who have these round our way who dress all in black, balaclavad up who whizz in and out of traffic even at night when it's dark with no lights. I nearly hit one of them in the car one night as I absolutely did not see them appear out of nowhere. I have no doubt that they're a bunch of thieving little toe rags and when I see stories like this, rightly or wrongly, I now just assume they were trying to escape arrest.
