• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

Next PM?

Serious question, how could a general election be called?

Two ways. The government could call one or parliament can vote no confidence in the government in which case an election follows.

Neither of those things will happen.

Thanks ECB.

In the case of "Parliament would need to call a vote of no confidence".....why don't they?

Labour could but there’s not much point as they won’t win it. The Tories have a majority of around 70.

I can’t see there being a GE as the Conservatives could be wiped out and as we know turkeys don’t vote for Christmas. Maybe Dorries can set a good example and resign so there’s a bye election in her constituency, can’t see it though.

We should be marching on Parliament now demanding an election in place of this continuing twatocracy parade of no mandate no marks. But we mostly can’t be arsed.

People will be arsed when everything collapses over the next six months. I fear for Labour when they get in though. Squaring this circle is not possible. Really we need a massive, and I mean 10p increase in income tax, even if the billionaires were properly squeezed, and second homes and mansions are properly taxed. Unless we want no doctors, dentists, nurses, teachers, police, roads etc, and lots of hungry, cold and homeless children.

Or of course, we could just rejoin the EU and send all the brexshitters to Rwanda.

I suppose all Johnson's supporters could back Morduant and scrape her over the 100.

Then the membership could vote for anyone except the black chap...

Black?

Would there be any point in a coalition between Lab/Lib/SNP/PC/Green?

If Labour don’t win outright, I’d imagine there’d defo be a coalition to keep the Tories out. I can’t see the Lib Dem’s jumping in with the Conservatives again, they did it back in 2010, sold out on some of their policies and were wiped out at the next GE. If it’s a hung parliament, I’d imagine a Labour led coalition with the minority parties exerted a squeeze for Proportional Representation which would keep the Conservatives out for a long long time.

Red an article in today’s press which advocated increasing HMRC staff numbers and going after the tax dodgers, I’d like to see some of the spivs and crooks get their come uppance.

If the spivs and crooks did get their come uppance, would that mean they would have to resign as Tory MPs?
 
Just so we’re clear, Rishi Sunak was the chancellor that placed the highest tax burden on the British public in living memory, the bloke that tried to send three million businesses to the wall during Covid and then claimed unemployment was down because they’d forced people in to IR35 or on to UC, the bloke who was effectively an American citizen by carrying a green card when running your life, the bloke who whilst holding the highest office of fiscal responsibility organised his wife’s tax affairs offshore, meaning that none of their gains paid for your services, although your taxes paid for theirs, oh, and he couldn’t possibly have working class friends, and don’t forget he told those struggling toffs in the leafy suburbs of Surrey that he was going to divert funds from deprived areas to them instead.

Lovely bloke, same old Tory. All the evidence is out there, you can’t miss it it even if you’re the laziest sh!tforbrains.

The Labour Party should turn this into a poster and slap it over the sides of bus stops.
