To invite Conservative voters to gather here

[Goddessofgrowth]

It’s ‘best of a bad bunch’ in my case but there are three threads petrified of BJ/Tories so wondered if any MN Tories would like to gather here!

Johnson. Raab. Morgan. Gove. Javid. Mogg.

Anyone even thinking of voting for this lot of shyster who would see you starve if there was a profit in it need a quick reality check.

Conservatives seem to be a much broader church than I had realised!
Isn't that rather a good thing?

So accusations of Corbyn as a terrorist sympathiser make him unfit for government, yet a confirmed terrorist sympathiser in the Tory party is “rather a good thing”. Hypocrisy of the highest order.

Another Tory here but a Remainer. Wouldn’t have voted Tory this time for that reason but the threat of a Corbyn government is too great.

So you are a remainer but will vote for a hard Brexit??

Have we not had enough of the Tory strong and stable govt stuff??

yet a confirmed terrorist sympathiser in the Tory party is “rather a good thing An EX terrorist sympathiser, key difference. She defected almost 40 years ago realising the error of her ways and wrote a book denouncing the IRA.

Corbyn. McDonnell . Abbott ,Lady Nugee. and the real nasty one Rebecca long Bailey. I'll stick with Boris.

Oh, that’s all right then. No difference at all, in other words.

Eh? There's a world of difference. Even your cognitive dissonance doesn't run that deep, surely?

It certainly doesn’t run as deep as yours.

Well done to the usual Momentum gobshites . You have as always shut down the opposition.

Once your private health care policy and your mortgage insurance policy has expired, you'll be at the mercy of DWP. and it's privately contractored assessors.

And some will have paid off the mortgage and taken early retirement, or work for an organisation that will give you an immediate pension and a lump sum if you have to leave because of health reasons.

I honestly can't understand decent, humane people (I certainly don't think all Tories are 'evil' or anything silly like that) feeling comfortable voting for a party who have treated the vulnerable and disabled so terribly for almost a decade now.

My husband and I would be welcomed by our local Conservatives with open arms, we are both professionals running our own successful businesses which we've built up by the sweat of our own brow. No wealthy families or private schools for us, we've done everything ourselves, so we could feel quite smug about it if we were that way inclined. However, I have a chronic health condition that flares up at regular intervals and I am friends with a lot of people who are a lot worse affected than me and who don't have the safety net of being able to work or having a partner to support them. The terror and worry so many of my friends have had to go through since 2010 about benefits and finances, on top of the daily misery of being ill anyway, is just heartbreaking. The cruelty of treating unwell and disabled people as scroungers just looking for hand-outs just pains me when I know just how genuine they are. I just cant' shut my eyes to it.

It certainly doesn’t run as deep as yours How do you work that out then?

😂😂😂

Fact is, Tories are going to win by a landslide and your free kool aid you’re all drinking to be swallowing Labour crap isn’t gonna exist.

I wouldn't bother going on a thread for Labour voters. I'm happy for them to chat without having insults hurled at them

You may not, but plenty of anti-Labour people do post in the Labour thread/s looking for a bunfight.

Turns out one of the things that unites people from all over the political spectrum is their love of pointless online arguments.

That's not the only reason you know? I was genuinely interested, and have learned some stuff I didn't know or only understood on a superficial level. Didn't get my main question answered though, and that's why i posted on here really, because i can't help feeling I'm missing something. Mo one answered though so i can trot back off.

In the current climate I thought it would be a good opportunity to ask a question without insults being hurled. It seems that was a little over ambitious though

About the NHS: here is a frustrated doctor. And then here is a cartoon explaining the problems of socialism. The doctor describes the problem.

If I was unsure about voting Tory, I know which way I am going to go for definite after reading this...the left are increasingly condescending and often just plain rude to anyone who has a difference of opinion.

Best reason ever for voting for a particular party . "I didn't know what to do and then I read some people being mean on the internet and made my decision..." (Because the whole of 'the left' is on this thread and the whole of 'the left' is rude.)
Jesus wept.

I don't want anything to do with Labour after reading some of the batshit crazy and aggressive stuff on social media. Of course there are a myriad reasons why I wouldn't be voting Labour, but the bile dressed up as social justice absolutely stinks.

Ha ha, true.

Those purporting to be “terrified” by Labour’s spending plans have been suckered by hyperbolic tabloid headlines - 163 economists and academics have signed a letter to the Financial Times backing Labour’s planned investment in our evening and academics back Labour spending plans

“Evening”? Economy.
That’s autocorrect plus commuting for you!

Trewser You are not looking hard enough if you think batshit crazy or aggressive stuff is limited to Labour. It's a good thing to take your blinkers off sometimes. There's some very, very unpleasant stuff in - for example - the Daily Mail comments... Or why not have a read of Katie Hopkins? I'm fairly sure she's not Labour. There's actually plenty of batshit crazy on this thread, too.

MayDay, I’ll be blunt - there is so much more to consider when voting than ‘how do they treat the disabled.’ Most people are not disabled.

screaming , you may well be right but I can't find the actual evidence that Ron Attley is a doctor.

He is certainly not one I would go to for a compassionate response if I were an addict or overweight!
