How long do we have to wait after the election before any complaints about the abysmal government are not dismissed as "sour grapes"?

Probably when they're happy that their vote has led to enough people dying at the hands of ideological disability benefit cuts, enough people committing suicide due to increasing job insecurity and very little quality of life and enough people saddled with depression due to the misery they're going to endure

That is a likely fact too Jack_, a very sad and devastating one indeed to be waiting to happen.

As opposed to cutting services for the most vulnerable that save a whopping Ł3.25 of the deficit.

It's not even a massive hyperbole. They make cuts that ruin thousands of lives but save a couple of million a year and have absolutely zero impact on the deficit. They implement punishing hoops for the worst off in society to jump through that actually cost MORE to implement that they save. These are not solutions. These are ideologies with precisely one purpose: to keep "common people" down where they belong.

Government policy will always lead to cases of unfairness to some individuals. It has happened with every government I have experienced (and that's a lot) The drama queens on here are just amazing. If you want to see genuine unfairness and hardship, look overseas, and get some experience of life because you are making yourselves look very foolish

Excuse me? Are you suggesting that anyone who disagrees with the status quo should just be thankful they don't live in a developing country?
That is a truly bizarre statement, we have a perfectly decent and prosperous country right here.... If some don't agree with regressive policies it's to be expected there will be opposition to them.
The people who ultimately look foolish are those who allow any govt to ride roughshod over rights.

"don't complain there are people starving in Africa."

It's not a new argument but it's as weak and lame as it ever was. Mostly comes from people who are determined to support the establishment but can't actually find anything good to say.

"Why are you whining? We could be living in a nuclear apocalypse, coughing blood and tending our weeping tumors! Be happy with your lot!"

It makes about as much sense as:

"You were raped, you say? Well ma'am, SOME people are born into satanic rape cults and are raped and tortured every day! Go home be happy that you were only raped once!"

Strangely enough "some individuals" are always the lower class.
