I'm starting to panic conservatives will get in again. I don't think I can face it! I work for the prison service, NHS and have kids in school. I can't take any more hits to any if these services!!!! I've never voted labour before but I am so passionate about it now! Prisons r so unsafe right now! and the NHS cannot take any more hits. If things don't change soon I just don't think either of my jobs will be viable, and as for schools - they also cannot take much more of a hit.

Please join me and vote labour! (Sorry to all those that hate this sort of thread Sad not meaning to annoy anyone! just feel the onset of panic!)

Highalert, I would rather be a 'Tory twat' than a foul-mouthed Labour supporter resorting to insults and slinging nothing of any use. Sadly MN seems to have proliferated your sort lately.

malificent if you truly think there will be no terrorist attacks under Corbyn and that poverty will be eradicated, you're living in cloud cuckoo land.

Hi littleboolinabox! I gues every prison is different. I worked in a different establishment 7 or 8 years ago that was far better resourced (although still massively underfunded and going down hill). Where I am now is genuinely shocking in terms of staff to prisoner ratio. 1 officer on a whole wing at times. Yes we need better searches, better security etc... but this can only be done with more resources. Our prison currently does not have the man power to put staff on the gate to search staff coming in for example. It would mean taking an officer away from the wing, and we don't have enough there to do that. We really are stretched where I am and it is costing lives and screwing up anyone's chances of rehabilitation. It's just my experience though, I'm really not meaning to scaremonger, just saying it as I see it, and I see the prisons in a pretty bad state at the moment. (I haven't met anyone that works in a prison before that doesn't think we are in a bit of a crisis, nice to know there must be some prisons which are not on the edge)

I will vote labour today and have been urging others to do the same. I fear the majority of Tory voters (and I don't necessarily mean those here) are basing their decision on the contents of the Daily fucking Fail. I care about our NHS and my children's education.

MacarenaFerreiro · 08/06/2017 07:52

You can ask me if you like but you'll get a polite "not in a million years" in return.

I'm voting Lib Dem because in my constituency they have the best chance of keeping the SNP out.

You really think you're (sorry, "ur") going to influence voters with a hyperbolic post with loads of exclamation marks?

User12345678912345 · 08/06/2017 08:06

Hi olliegarchy99! Fair enough! (although if you had read the whole thread, you would've seen that another poster kindly found the missing 'y' and 'o' letters and returned them! I've not been able to put them up on the original post, but they are hanging around this thread somewhere waiting for you to spot them! Smile)

The architypal Left Wing response. Funnily enough, so does everybody, however they vote. It's just that they think different parties deal with it better. What is deeply unattractive about the LW is their firm adoption of the moral high ground. They really believe that they are better people than the rest of us.
I'm one of the disenfranchised - not a Tory, but not Labour in the shape it's in at the moment. For the sake of the long term, I'm hoping Labour get slaughtered, and have to either split, or totally reform, so that we have a decent opposition next time.

Oh do fuck off. Unlike the Labour faithful, Tory voters actually have brain cells and can use them independently. And we care about the NHS and education but understand that the supply of unlimited money that Corbyn is promising doesn't actually exist.

Leaderwithsoul · 08/06/2017 08:12

So why is it ok for you to call Labour voters thick?

Double standards Tories

Hoppinggreen · 08/06/2017 08:13

Ask away, won't be happening though

ChinaRose · 08/06/2017 08:13

You can ask all you like

Bigbiscuits · 08/06/2017 08:13

No bloody way would I vote for that Corbyn.

Just voted conservative and hoping for a good majority.

OfficiallyUnofficial · 08/06/2017 08:15

Nope! And I'm not an ill informed idiot either thanks all that say non labour voters are Biscuit

Leaderwithsoul · 08/06/2017 08:15

Well you wouldn't realise you were, to be fair

Badbadbunny · 08/06/2017 08:16

If hell freezes over and somehow Corbyn does become the next prime minister, I think there'll be a lot of people who end up severely upset when he can't deliver on even half of his promises. At the end of the day, he's made loads of promises, thinking to himself he was safe to make them because he'd never become PM. I bet he's shitting himself at the thought of winning and the massive let down he'll cause.

Greggers2017 · 08/06/2017 08:16

I'm a teacher being made redundant at the end of this school year due to budget cuts. The problem isn't the Tory government cutting the budget it's labour overspending. They are once again promising money that isn't there so once again when he tories do get back into power again there will have to be drastic cuts to stabilise the economy.
I also care about the NHS but the money labour are promising isn't there.

Yes yes yes and more yes to this

OP no no no. Not in a million fucking years.

Lucydogz! I dam voting labour, I guess I'm left wing. However, I don't think I'm better than everyone else or take the moral high ground! I am without doubt a much more flawed person than many of my conservative frienda and colleagues (as evidenced by much of this thread, including my use of 'text speak' in the original post, for which I've already been picked up on!!) I truly wish I could be a better parent, a better daughter, a better friend, a better sibling, and generally a better person! However, that is nothing to do with how or why I want to vote labour! ...

All aspects of my life are currently negatively affected by this current Tori rule. My jobs are both public sector (as I've said already) and I literally see the cuts costing by
Lives. On my personal life O have good friends and family affected badly by cuts to social care. In terms of education, my kids school I see actually quite good - but only because we are lucky enough to live in an area where richer parents and a few influential people in the governing body can 'prop it up'.

Anyway, vote cast and fingers crossed! Wine 🤞
