I bet they don't give a flying monkeys for anyone coming under attack by the Tories. The poor, disabled and tennants.

I have felt close to tears all day because I know what a conservative majority means for so many in this country.

Sorry title mistake to wonder if Tories care about the one million using food banks.

Have you read any other threads on here today? Clearly we don't give a shit. We want the disabled people to die. We want children to starve. We want the NHS to disappear. Wink

They think it's your own fault if you are poor or disabled, so no they don't give a shit.

AuntyMag10 · 08/05/2015 18:53

Nice assumptions there op.

26Point2Miles · 08/05/2015 18:53

Oh here we go.....more over the top drama

meglet · 08/05/2015 18:53

Don't think so.

Although apparently shiny Daves booming economy will provide jobs for all so they'll all be better off Hmm.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 08/05/2015 18:54

Oh great, yet another bash Conservative voters thread. We don't care. Apparently.

ilovesooty · 08/05/2015 18:54

It seems that other issues were of greater importance to them in making their decision.

unbreakablemum · 08/05/2015 18:56

I want answers from a Tory supporter to answer how they feel about the sanctions causing people to either starve or commit suicide as they are backing sanctions.
I want them to answer if they think it's ok if people die as a result of sanctions as no one from the Tories will answer.

ShatnersBassoon · 08/05/2015 18:58

They don't care. They will give them a zero-hours contract 'job' though, so they can enjoy the flexibility of having no money and the constant stress of uncertainty.

MadisonMontgomery · 08/05/2015 18:59

I'd say I don't care because I'm clearly evil, but I actually don't care because you're being utterly ridiculous. Where are all these thousands of people dying of starvation?

Vycount · 08/05/2015 18:59

I didn't vote for Conservative or Labour. I have to say though that some people have short memories. I remember some very dark times under Labour, and having been involved in the NHS, I think that the rot there started under Labour.

AuntyMag10 · 08/05/2015 18:59

Unbreakable dramatic muchConfused

MadisonMontgomery · 08/05/2015 19:00

And if indeed all these people are starving and having to use foodbanks, why do we have an obesity epidemic?

DuchessDisaster · 08/05/2015 19:00

I assume that the vast majority of posters here were not alive in the 1960s and 1970s. Those were not fun times.

BitchPeas · 08/05/2015 19:01

What's irritating me about these threads are posters bringing up child benefit. It's free money for having a baby. No one is entitled to it, and they shouldn't be! If it needs to be taken away for the sake of the economy, then so be it.

People need to start taking responsibility for their lifestyle choices... having children!

We live in a country with free contraception, abortion, health care and education.

Tax credits and child benefit should not be a crutch for people to be SAHPs. Don't have children you can't afford. Simple.

Meh84 · 08/05/2015 19:01

God this made me smile!! Loving the over the top, melodrama, scaremongering drivle that's being produced today Biscuit

I voted Tory, I'm going to HELL Shock

NRomanoff · 08/05/2015 19:02

Oh for the love of god.

We get it. Labour Voters = Caring people who should all be up for sainthoods.

Tory voters = akin to Satan himself.

Jobless123 · 08/05/2015 19:02

Oh another 'All Tories are cunts' thread.

Perhaps we should start a 'People who start "All Tories are cunts" thread' are cunts.

unbreakablemum · 08/05/2015 19:03

Auntymag no not dramatic the truth that people have died as a result of sanctions that Tories are covering up.

AuntyMag10 · 08/05/2015 19:03

Couldn't agree more BitchPeas.

Free education and healthcare. There is no need for child benefit.

glenthebattleostrich · 08/05/2015 19:04

Wow first one of these I've seen today.

But seriously WONT SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN

formerbabe · 08/05/2015 19:05

Tax credits and child benefit should not be a crutch for people to be SAHPs. Don't have children you can't afford. Simple.

You do realise you can have a combined family income of £90,000 and still qualify for child benefit...or are these people deemed too poor to procreate?

And I voted Tory BTW.

"I want answers from a Tory supporter to answer how they feel about the sanctions causing people to either starve or commit suicide as they are backing sanctions.

I don't think you really do want answers, you just want to reassure yourself that Tories are bastards.

There are plenty of books, blogs and articles that will explain Conservative thinking on these issues. It is very easy to find answers. I daresay you disagree with the answers, but that's another thing.
