To be scared about the outcome of the election?

There have been so many attacks on disabled people, the NHS and public services. I am just scared that there will be even more after the election, if the Conservatives get in. It is seriously scary.

Omg another one? SERIOUSLY? cannot wait for these bloody elections to be over!

You have every right to be scared if you don't want the Tories in.

Coz they ARE going to win.

brasty · 15/05/2017 23:38

I am disabled, so this is personal.

Get a grip. Imagine if labour got in there would be strikes, financial ruin for all. They would run out of money in 5 minutes and inflation would be astronomical

Titsywoo · 15/05/2017 23:41

Erm the conservatives already are in Grin

brasty · 15/05/2017 23:41

No Government has enough control of the economy to make that much of a difference to inflation

But we are just getting over the labour government financial disasters. I and I think most people want financial stabilitity so more money can go to DLA. That is a priority for me.

Wishforsnow · 15/05/2017 23:44

I said get a grip prior to her post or at the same time. I'm not psychic.

PaperdollCartoon · 15/05/2017 23:45

What Labour Party financial disasters would those be Wishforsnow?

YANBU

You know the Torie's have borrowed more in the last 7 years than every Labour government ever?

brasty · 15/05/2017 23:47

It is the NHS I care about most. I am a heavy user and the idea of an insurance system terrifies me, or co pay. I don't get PIP, and even basic medical travel insurance for me is very high. Even just the real cost of my medicine would be a strain on my bank balance.

I agree. I'm also fearful. Nothing we can do as individuals, the electorate have swallowed the media bias. I'm ashamed to say one family member told me she will not vote Labour because JC rarely wear's a tie wtaf! Let's hope pensioners realise they are about to be bent over by the tories and vote Labour. Doubt it though

Im afraid you have a point OP. When this young woman left a cafe she found that something had been left on her mobility scooter.

Fixed your post Wishforsnow.

More momentedium.

Hmm
HelenaDove · 15/05/2017 23:50

cantbefaffed My 67 year old DH has always voted Labour Hes never voted Tory in his life. Hes now being "transferred" from DLA to PIP.

brasty · 15/05/2017 23:53

Maybe I shouldn't have posted this.
Not really looking for a political debate, just scared. I just want the NHS to be safe guarded.

And blerp I have posted on threads criticising Corbyn. So you are wrong. I am more a centre left voter.

Wishforsnow · 15/05/2017 23:56

I wrote more money should go to DLA. Odd that anyone wouldn't want that. lostsight - do you not think that is what most work toward, ensuring their tax is spent in the right place primarily DLA as hub priority. But if there is no money there as there is no financial stability the people who should have the biggest increases now simply won't.

brasty · 15/05/2017 23:58

Also there needs to be much improved social care. What is happening is a disgrace.

HelenaDove.

I am probably being really thick but I can't work out what that is? Looks like a coffee filter?

Awful! But still mind want to know what the fuck!

brasty · 16/05/2017 00:02

That is awful Helena

I live in Scandinavia. I'm afraid I don't buy the suggestion that the Tories will supply financial stability.

I believe in governments which control their capitalism and redistribute wealth and in unions and all kinds of things that are painted as anathema in the UK media, so you are probably trying to convince the wrong person, I'm afraid. But please feel free to try to convince others, if that's your thing.
