To wonder labour supporters what you are all going to do on Friday

[thisismeusernameything]

If you wake up and are still under conservative rule?

Not goady, just genuinely interested in how you intend to make life better for yourself and those around you

Perhaps they will leave the country and perhaps stop calling those who disagree scum, thick etc and realise that all it does is denigrate themselves.

The country would be a better place as a result

'Lost' the files linking MP's to a paedophile ring.
Wants fox hunting re-introduced.
Supports the unfair 'bedroom tax'.
Reckons she will clamp down on corp tax avoidance, yet proposes to slash corp tax and her husbands livelihood rests on tax avoidance, and thinks people are dumb enough to believe her.
Proposes ripping up the human rights bill on the pretext of making us 'safer' hmm
Precided over savage cuts to disability benefits.
Savage cuts to education.
Savage cuts to police.
Savage cuts to fire services leading to a 17% increase in fire related deaths.
Allowed Jeremy Hunt to continue in post after the shambles of the Junior Dr's contract debacle.
Leader of a party who has seen a vast increase in the national debt, but still claims austerity works and that it's all the Labour party's fault anyway hmm
Says there are 'girl jobs and boy jobs' on national TV with no shame.
Reduced ability to access legal aid.
Reduced ability for employees to take employers to tribunal unless they have the cash to do so up front.

TORY FAILURE LIST (not inclusive)

I'll do what I did when I woke up to find the UK had voted for Brexit and the time I woke up to find that Trump had won, swear and go on a Facebook rant.

Prepare for redundancy. I'm an experienced teacher who is always graded as outstanding. My track record is excellent. This makes me expensive.

As I work part time now (family circumstances) and there is currently no need for a job share, I cover ppa. Under the current government my school cannot even afford supply teachers. They certainly can't afford to pay someone like me to cover ppa anymore. Not when an unqualified teacher or a TA would be so much cheaper.

Once I'm redundant I will probably not return to education. I'm completely demoralised and sick of politicians ignoring the knowledge and expertise of my fellow colleagues. I'm done.

Weeeeell, if the last election is anything to go by, have a load of protests. that cost a fortune in policing. Despite apparently wanting money to be spent on the needy.

(Remember how the conservative voters did the same when the utterly loathsome Blair won? Oh no wait, the other thing!)

Nice. Really nice. Really really really nice.

(And I'm not even a Labour supporter).

If Labour lose, I am going to look at ways to protect DS as much as possible, so:

Much as I dislike private health in principle, I think H may join the scheme offered by his workplace. The future of the NHS is concerning.

We are moving soon. We will look very, very carefully at the exact area we locate ourselves in WRT to schools that look most able to withstand the education cuts.

Save for DS university/deposit (maybe even pension - if you save a little bit in the early years, it can sit for the next 60 earning compound interest).

Work more hours!

cry
the idea of another term under this government fills me with dread.
the future will be bleak for my disabled adult child.

Nothing. All the same as each other imo.

Labour started the privatisation of the NHS and tuition fees.

Nothing. All the same as each other imo.

Labour started the privatisation of the NHS and tuition fees.

I will prepare to tell my mum to 'suck it up buttercup' when she moans about the NHS in the future.

I will prepare to rant to my mum about why my DD can't get the SEN support she needs, particularly when she moves to secondary in a couple of years.

I will lose a little more faith in my parents.

Weeeeell, if the last election is anything to go by, have a load of protests. that cost a fortune in policing.

If May's Human Rights removal go through, perhaps we won't be allowed to protest?

I feel like this is implying that by supporting Labour we're somehow responsible for fixing everything that is wrong in society. We're not. We'll just keep on doing whatever we were doing before to fit our circumstances and our morals.

It's up to everyone in the UK to vote for what they think is the best way forwards. If everyone in the UK thinks that supporting the Tories in their strip minining of our national assets and disgusting, callous treatment of vulnerable people is the way forwards, I can't personally fix that and it's not my responsbility to do so. I did my bit by voting for a party that I thought wouldn't do that.

I'll carry on trying to live in a moral way, supporting friends and family and charities and stuff, but don't try to imply that it's somehow my job to pick up the slack when other people decide in their droves to vote like turkeys for Christmas.

I will of course have to look into expanding my skill set so I can move in to a private sector job when Brexit destroys one of our most valuable exports (Higher Education), which I work in.

What I will do IF the conservatives are still there?? Note the IF. No one knows what the result will be until election day. That's why we have elections! Remember Brexit??

Pray for the conservative party to kick TM out. She is a danger for the country.
Then involve myself in human rights protection and in fighting her crazy moves all the way.

Failing that Im going to do my best to protect myself and my family. Whatever it takes. And that might well mean moving away from the UK (like a lot of other brits have already done), saving and saving money (a shame for the economy), ensuring tat my dcs can get a better future OUT of this country (or at least that they have that choice - like all the other brits who have been asking for the irish citizenship for example).

I think my first thought it going to be for my child, followed by how we are going to afford to survive without my disability benefit and how I am going to get better without the small amount of help I get from the NHS.

Volunteer at the local food bank - they will need extra help.

(I am actually going to this this anyway)

Why aren't you all saying, since the OP isn't going to be the reality I'll be celebrating!

I don't think I am a labour supporter. I usually vote Lib Dem, but am genuinely uncertain how I am going to vote tomorrow. However, I am DEFINITELY disturbed by the prospect of another 5 years of this Conservative government.

But when we wake up on Friday morning and find Cons have won, I will be unsurprised. I would be delighted if they lost at least a couple of seats, but I am not even optimistic about that. Life will go on. I think the country will be hugely the worse for TM's brand of Conservatism, but it won't kill me. Probably.

I'm old enough to have experienced the Thatcher years too.

Friday will be spent reassuring myself that, even though we already know how the Tory victory will cripple many, we'll survive. Most of us. Some of us.

YY aboout expanding skills sets too. Boith myself and DH have alerady looked at that (as well as changing jobs to have skills that will allow us more flexibility).

In effect, we are getting ready for a really shitty time with much fewer jobs, price increase etc etc and living in what looks like a totalitarian country (Im referring to TM wanting to get of Human Rights Act or her wanting to control the internet, no encrypted messages etc... all of which are usually the hallmark of a totalitarian country such as China...)

I'll be gutted but my other half's job is poaching foreign healthcare workers for our own health system so, swings and roundabouts.

yes Fanny the richest and the luckiest.

I will feel so ashamed of what the most vulnerable in our society will go through. So so ashame.

Go to work in a hospital already struggling due to cuts and a lack of doctors / nurses. Commiserate with the EU doctors I work with who don't know if they'll be allowed to stay if we hard Brexit. Continue looking into my options for getting out.

ifailed I plan the same!!!

I arranged to meet with a friend to walk along the Thames (to shout, swear, sob). But I still have hope in my heart that it might become a celebration walk. :)

Carry on being a decent human being, volunteering, being kind but firm, educating myself, raising my children to think for themselves, spending less and saving more, looking at private health insurance, cutting down on non essentials to avoid unnecessary spending and mindless consumerism, campaigning for my party, spend less time on MN and tidy the house more have more sex with dh that sort of thing.

What will you do on Friday OP?
