    Indeed

    Any labour representation in Surrey is likely to be a sympathy vote or comedy value

    As you were

      You may be right. But there is an underbelly of radicalism and revolt here in Surrey just waiting for the signal.

Detest I would reserve for the likes of Francois, Bridgen, Rees-Mogg and anyone else who called themselves a 'spartan' for throwing the reputation and future prospects of this country down the pan in the name of some kind of small minded willy waving insular view of what the UK should be.

          PS I don't mind some Tories. They all voted remain, funnily enough.
          I can't chat the state of the country with Tories

          They think in a different way with regard to the NHS , social services , the elderly

          I can't be having people like that in my diary

          The moderate , left wing Tories annoy me as they suggest they are one nation , caring types but you know that despite the inherent selfish nature of conservatives they always end up voting for them

          Ken Clarke would have made a great old school liberal MP

          But like so many of his type ........hurd , patton , howe ......they stayed in the party

          As far as I am concerned if you don't vote Tory........wether that be labour , liberal , independent , green ..... pull up a chair

            It was the way me and my neighbours voted. And you call it comedy value. You've lost the plot mate

                    No. I understand why you slag off Surrey, and the stats back it up. However, there are loads of us here that hate this regime as much as you do. Stop slagging off Surrey lol.

                      Of course

                      It does make me laugh when people say they would vote for a donkey in the valleys if it wore a red rosette

                      The south east of England?

                      At one point it was only Oxford outside of inner London that had a labour MP

                        Also, other Surrey things - the only person I've ever met called Tarquin was in Pembrokeshire. There is admittedly a lot of shopping at Waitrose though
                        I spent a lot of my time in Guildford and I never met a Tarquin either. Unfortunately there's Tories everywhere, I'm in the midst of some of them here in Wales. The sort of people who want a leg up off other people's backs. I'm sure there's lovely people like yourself in Surrey as well as everywhere else. Good for you 👍

                          Public school , entitled , superior twat

                            And you talk about lazy generalizations.
                            I wouldn’t be surprised if more Waitrose customers voted remain than Co-Op customers.

                            Many many working class life long Labour voters voted leave and have been harangued ever since by well to do posh and upper middle class liberals.

                            I hold them and their self righteousness in almost equal disdain to the likes of Rees-Mogg and his fox hunting pals.

                              Is there a secret agent in the camp ?

                                pips was a fair point being made. You may not like it, but that's party politics for you. It clouds the judgement of those who cannot see the failings in their own side.
