"It's a govt's job to do what's right, not what's popular." 💯
Governments seem to think their job is to please, as if they were popular entertainers. They should be like parents to the nation, not friends

The Scottish govt has dropped plans to lower the national speed limit on single carriageway roads to 50mph because it was unpopular.
It's a govt's job to do what's right, not what's popular. Reducing the limit would have reduced danger and KSIs in those roads.

Utterly shameful again from Labour.
When Tommy Robinson praises your new asylum legislation, you must know how low you have sunk in desperation to attract Reform voters.
Labour aren't defeating far-right extremism, they are mirroring it.

Confiscating jewellery from survivors of a war zone makes you look like a fucking Nazi. And the obscene thing is, that is the intention. It's there to look appropriately harsh. Indecent. Filthy. A moral stain. And no-one of good character would have ever proposed such a thing in the first place.
