LOL. Draft dodger btw. Too scared to attack an enemy that tried to harm my loved ones so "I only learned to defend". Typical boomer born right after the era where my parents suffered the solitude of WWII, deprivation of the Great Depression while I never had to suffer jack or risk a thing. :)

You mean just like all other politicians?
They always break promises regardless what party and what end of the political scale they're from. If you didn't already expect it I don't know what else to say than: Welcome to the real world.

That news saddens me but doesn't surprise me.

There's an old joke:

Q: How do you know when a politician is lying?
A: Their lips move.

I'd bet that they manage to find loopholes in most of their pre-election promises.
Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?

The accursed Power that stands on privilege,
and goes with women, and champagne, and bridge,
broke! And Democracy resumed her reign -
which goes with women, and bridge, and champagne.

The stipulation "providing economic conditions allow" has been in the small print for ages - since well before the general election. People knew this before voting. Sounds like hysteria to me. Besides, would you rather have your hard earned wages stolen by means of increased taxation? Low on bank space? Click here .

Just like companies, I try to minimise my tax. What about you? 200M all skills, Trimmed comp Cape, MQC

Honesty in politics does not win votes. Jo Swinson attempted honesty and look what happened to her. As long as there is a majority who will believe anything without doing their own research, this will always be the case. Low on bank space? Click here .
