As there’s a Corbyn/ labour bashing thread- let’s hear all the really good Tory policies that don’t include repeating ad infinitum ‘get Brexit done’....

Let’s hear about all the good the Tories plan to achieve in the next 5 years

It's not a Corbyn government 😂

I realise this is fast becoming a zombie thread, but I saw it earlier when I couldn't post and I wanted to add my thoughts.

I believe an advantage is that a Johnson government will add to the general gaiety of the nation. Years ago there was a not very funny comedy show called the Benny Hill Show. It usually ended with pudgy, plain Mr Hill chasing lots of young women around the grounds of a hospital for people with mental health difficulties. (I'm not joking, the chase scenes were filmed in the grounds of a former Victorian asylum used as a hospital for people with mental health challenges.) It was never very funny, but I see echoes of Benny Hill in the current government. There's always a new mistress popping up from somewhere and our pudgy, plain Prime Minister staggers from crisis to crisis with a look of bemused optimism. If you can recast the Tory government as a dodgy 60s/70s comedy show, it all looks more palatable.

@Bluesrunthegame, you've succeeded where Cummings has failed and made it sound almost desirable Grin

And there's the new national anthem to look forward to

Hah, thought you were going to say this one (theme tune proper from 1:21 mins):

longwayoff · 29/09/2019 21:50

Nice. Just need Cummings, leaning against a pillar, trying to flog us a used Brexit in the manner of Arthur Daley - psst! have I got a No Deal for you! -accompanied by the Dad's Army theme tune, and we'll be ready for anything.

You’re preaching to the Converted where I’m concerned op

There's a thread about evil tories going on now Bertrand. Lots of posters saying why they think they are evil.
