How do you know that its my Tory lot by the way - I have voted for a number of different parties in the past but there is more chance of hell freezing over than me voting for these current ‘Labour bastards’ with their stalinist, anti-semitic, terrorist loving leader, shadow chancellor and policies designed to bankrupt the country.
Time out needed for this little tyke.
Someone's been brainwashed by the Daily Mail
You are talking my language but are you saying that everyone who had their retirement age moved should be reimbursed?
My mum fits into the category that waspi are campaigning to help but she doesn't think she is entitled, for a start she doesn't need the money and she also feels she was given enough notice. She believes that there are people entitled to be reimbursed, but that it is far below the figure cited by waspi.
Agree fully with the principle that money has been spent or far less worthy causes but i think in the context of other more poignant causes I don't feel this is worth saddling the next generation with having to pay for it (especially since we will likely retire at 70+ despite having a similar life expectancy...)
I am trying to work out if you are joking or not.
Nope - sorry. Its not mandatory for all City supporters to be Socialist/Communists is it ?
Don't be a little boy. I am just struggling to think of an economic target that the Conservatives set themselves and then subsequently hit, on time. Seems to me that it is hard to claim undeniable success when they didn't even achieve their own aims.
Who does ? At least they have a go. Labour don't even bother to try e.g. Brexit - a clear committment in their manifesto
Can you imagine the leader of your country hiding away in a fridge! He is a pathetic, nasty, self entitled prick. Unfortunately our media are complicit in his rise particularly the abject BBC. I dread the next five years of hard right wing policies.
It’s going to be very rough.
Your first sentence says it all, but I will add Johnson's very strange reaction of taking a reporter's phone and sticking it in his pocket when being asked an awkward question - did he think doing that would bring his tricky situation to an end? Leaving aside the litany of dubious and dodgy aspects of his professional and private life, who would want someone who behaves in such a bizarre manner running this country?
This video was from when Boris was in the Tory leadership contest a few months back, but the point made in it rings true for this election campaign.

Someone should've locked him the fridge when the coward hid in it.
Thats your opinion and you are entitled to it but I see the exact opposite. I dread five years of the country being run into the ground and bankrupted again by Labour. As usual, other people would have to pick up the bill, sort it out and get nothing but criticism for trying.
As opposed to being bankrupted by the Tories as we have been over the last 9 years?
Fact - not one single independent fiscal organisation has agreed with the suggestion that Labour overspent prior to 2010, neither did it have any control over the financial crash. Fact - The Conservatives backed all of Labour's spending plans. Osborne recently confirmed this. Fact - Our debt has nearly tripled as a result of bailing out the banks. It could have been much lower but the Tories decided on tax cuts for the most well off and actively endorses tax avoidance by the big corporations (hence Brexit).
This current government is hardly in any position to say it is better for the economy.
Speaking of the BBC... (you can't embed tweets on here, can you?)

It's a pretty shit analogy.
Directly they are recieving the same thing (the pint) but it doesn't take into account the additional significant indirect benefits that the richer members of society experience when paying for vital services, these are exponential.
Take a future billionaire at 3 years old and stick him in Somalia, does he still become a billionaire? Very unlikely... That billionaire has benefited incredibly from just being in the UK and continues to do so as they do business.
Well that analogy isn't too bright either. But in your hypothetical example I guess it shows that the UK is a place where people can flourish
Can't you read? He said for those who understand no explanation is needed, for those who do not understand, no explanation is possible, he's a genius who's covered every possible base in terms of reactions to this analogy. And he copy pasted it off Facebook for that added gravitas
When Britian went Bust is a good read. Labour government 1964 to 1969 interest rates were at 26%, subsequent Labour government had to go to the EMF to be bailed out, then we had continuous strikes due to the control exercised by the Unions. Every time Labour leaves office there is a financial crisis of one sort or another and the same could well happen again with Labour's proposed borrowings with their so called fully costed manifesto which conveniently omits the £58m to fund the WASPI women. Labour has been in continuous control in Wales and takes the Welsh vote for granted and has done little for the Principality. Even the Cardiff Bay Barrage was a Tory funded initiative. The problem with the current election is that we have 3 of the worst leaders in living memory and when it comes down to it is a question of voting for the least worst option.
Agree totally with this.
No it wasn't a Tory funded initiative , labour controlled Cardiff city council had already started developing Cardiff bay , private money built the barrage under the quango Cardiff bay development corporation
Yeah, because of progressive taxation paying for public services, not in spite of it.
Considering I was personally involved in finding the money for the scheme I submit to your greater knowledge. Where do you think the money came from for the CBDC which also funded much of the surrounding infrastructure as well as the barrage itself.?
Well my masters degree was on the Development of Cardiff bay from the initial work on Baltic house and Atlantic wharf and I know that it was private money and not central government that funded it all

Going back to Sludge's point about his mum's carer wanting to vote Tory to keep the immigrants out (living in an area of low immigration), this mirrors how people voted Leave. Areas where the fear of immigrants taking "our jobs, our houses, our benefits" were likely to vote Leave and may well now vote Tory. It remains to be seen if there is a correlation between obesity levels/voting Leave and voting Tory in this election. Ditto less well educated, white working class were more likely to vote Leave. (Ref. Prof Danny Dorlings research) This seems to be Johnsons target market when it comes to lie repetition. Repeat a lie like "we are going to build 40 new hospitals" and eventually it becomes the truth amongst those who rely on recieved wisdom. BJ was even trying to get his background supporters repeating the lie, somewhat unenthusatically on their behalf.
So, we won 3-2 this evening. Gary scored a 94th minute winner. What, you didn't know? Pass it on. It is the Truth. Anyone who says otherwise is liable to a knock on the door from the Thought Police. Sad times we live in.
