Will the General Election bring change or more of the same?

In today’s MetroTalk , readers are wondering if the upcoming general election will finally bring some change or if we’ll just see more of the same. One reader wants us to remember the challenges the Tories had to deal with during their 14 years in power. Meanwhile, is UK sovereignty really under threat or is that just a soundbite to get your vote , should those with physical jobs be allowed their pensions early and who else should be held responsible for horrendous treatment of the Post Office sub-postmasters and mistresses? Share your thoughts on these topics and more in the comments.

A reader says some realities of the tory government post-2010 were beyond their control (Credits: Bloomberg via Getty Images) What a selective memory Barry ( MetroTalk, Fri ) has when he idealises how it was when the Tories took over in 2010. It’s funny how he says ‘there were no front pages about people in boats’, while simultaneously praising ‘seamless trade and travel throughout Europe’. Well, firstly, Brexit happened (by a national vote, not by the Tories) and the fact there was seamless travel across Europe also meant there was unlimited immigration (something he fails to mention).

Also, Covid hadn’t happened yet (which certainly wasn’t the fault of the Tory government ), or would Barry prefer that the government had let tens of thousands of workers lose their jobs without implementing furlough? Then he would really have cause to complain. It’s easy to pick and choose, .
