Just had to get that off my chest.

Please come and join me if you feel the same, and then I can stop annoying myself (and others) by hijacking the anti-Tory threads.

'It's rhetorical, too many, because we were left with all the leftie / liberal dregs of society voting for more of the same crap.'

Nice attitude - so those of us who actually care about society as a whole are 'dregs' are we?

electra · 03/05/2010 00:49

atlantis - that is unfair - expat was not gloating about being able to move elsewhere - I took her meaning that she feels she will have no other choice as life will be so bad here.

What exactly do you mean by 'leftie bullshit'???

atlantis · 03/05/2010 00:42

Do you know expat, that really pisses me off, that's like the dinner guest that demands to be served different food from everyone else and then sods off home without even offering to clean up the plates.

It's so nice that you can escape somewhere else after enjoying the good times under labour as they squandered the wealth of this country, good for you, some of us have to stay here and clean up after your gone.

How many Brits has labour driven to emigrate over the last 13 years with their leftie bullshit, with their databases and their erossion of civil liberties and their dismantling of the education system and their assult on families?

It's rhetorical, too many, because we were left with all the leftie / liberal dregs of society voting for more of the same crap.

The awfulness of the Bullingdon Club ... seriously membership of that particular club should automatically disbar people from any form of office ... We're faced with the spectacle of not only the Mayor of London, but now the prospective PM and Chancellor of the Exchequer being ex-Bullies...

But Labour are seriously going to fuck the economy up even more than they have already fucked it up ...

Is it time to spoil a ballot paper or vote Lib-Dem?

expatinscotland · 03/05/2010 00:36

Well, electra, obviously it's quite a nice thing to smile about.

expatinscotland · 03/05/2010 00:35

I'm glad you find that funny, lilmiss.

Other peoples' misery is apparently an acceptable form of humour for members of the Bullingdon Club, too.

How charming.

electra · 03/05/2010 00:34

you may be spot on, expat

The thought of listening to his sloany voice and seeing his Botox-ed spam for years on end makes me actually contemplate something I swore 9 years ago never to do: leave the country.

But with him and his in power, I just won't see anything here for people like us or our kids other than getting screwed because he doesn't care. He can't, he doesn't have a clue. And even if he did, he doesn't understand and cares about his cronies more.

He wins, it's time to think about walking.

Because all these cuts he plans to make, they're going to make our lives a misery, and we do have the choice of someplace where, well, at least the VAT's not so high.

lilmissmummy · 03/05/2010 00:24

I wasnt talking about rioting I was talking about the state of their economy. I agree with Quattrocentro voting Labour will make things worse.

I have no problem with Lib Dems I think that some of their policies are a good idea however I agree with the majority of the conservatives policies and feel that DC will be the best person to get us out of this mess.

expatinscotland · 03/05/2010 00:18

I'm not a Labour voter, either.

expatinscotland · 03/05/2010 00:18

Whatever history of real riot they had they lost long ago, I can assure you.

Not that it's a pleasant experience I care to repeat.

newyorkshire · 03/05/2010 00:17

I can see what you are saying but actually I and I am thinking that the Labour gove has had to spend out to fix the years of severe lack of funding from the tories into education and health. I guess its a case of what priorities you have and how you feel it ought to be done.

atlantis · 03/05/2010 00:13

"Have the British ever been bothered to riot about anything on a large scale lately other than football? "

They marched for the Iraq qar, but not so much with the rioting.

They rioted over the G 10 but Brown sent int he police to kil squash them.

They rioted over the EDL, but that's okay because it was the liberals rioting.

Quattrocento · 03/05/2010 00:11

Not that I have any intention of voting Tory, btw, but still, voting Labour is only going to make things worse ...

Quattrocento · 03/05/2010 00:10

The trouble is that the Labour Party got us into this mess.

I seriously believe that voting Labour will see the economy looking something like Greece's in a couple of years. Tax 'n' spend, followed by more tax 'n' spend, followed by 'oops we don't seem to have many people or companies left to tax but we'll carry on with the tax 'n' spend routine.'

expatinscotland · 03/05/2010 00:09

'You may think that people who vote Tory only care about themselves but I believe that people who vote Tory are trying to save our country from ending up like Greece.'

Oh, please! If that's not scaremongering I don't know what is.

Have the British ever been bothered to riot about anything on a large scale lately other than football?

lilmissmummy · 03/05/2010 00:03

ps. The NHS project was for a new IT system.

TuRD · 03/05/2010 00:03

its a bit like cameron this name. You cannot polish a turd.

lilmissmummy · 03/05/2010 00:02

I think that cuts have got to be made somewhere and the Labour government has made such a mess of our economy that they cant be trusted to be in power again. On public spending alone they overspent by over £22bn on projects like the NHS project - budget was £2.3 bn and current spend is £12.6 bn.
Facts from here , it makes very interesting reading!

You may think that people who vote Tory only care about themselves but I believe that people who vote Tory are trying to save our country from ending up like Greece. Yes we may have to give up some of the benefits that we received under a Labour government but these benefits could never be afforded!

BecauseImWorthIt · 03/05/2010 00:02

Whatever

(Although I'm liking turd)

TuRD · 02/05/2010 23:58

becauseiamworthit how about this? Better? I abbreviated it for you.

newyorkshire · 02/05/2010 23:57

do you agree that key stage 2 tests will be retained and made even more rigorous for our dear children ?

newyorkshire · 02/05/2010 23:52

do you agree with the conservatives axing 40000 jobs in the public sector?!
do you think that the conservatives making no commitment to protect funding for schools and colleges is a good thing?

TheRealDemosthenes · 02/05/2010 23:44

It really is not very nice to call me ridiculous.
