To ask how many of you

[Fatasfooook]

That voted for the conservatives actually read their manifesto? In fact did anyone read it? Page 48 is especially sinister. Also they intend to completely defund the disability and autism fund in 3 to 4 years time.
Did you knowingly vote for this?

Swallow the sour grapes. I read it, I voted accordingly.

I didn’t vote Tory but even I’m bored if these repetitive threads. Can’t you just post on the existing ones?

“Swallow the sour grapes. I read it, I voted accordingly.“

We will all be swallowing the sour grapes when the tories start to implement their manifesto. It will affect you too.

“I didn’t vote Tory but even I’m bored if these repetitive threads. Can’t you just post on the existing ones?”

You could always go do something else

If people didn't understand what they were voting for, why not call for a re-vote?

I understand you are gutted this morning but this is not going to help you. You’ll never get the answers you want posting here. Spend the day looking after yourself then tomorrow think about Christmas. I know it’s the last thing you want to do but we all need to try and take a break from all this for a bit and get our strength back, spend time with those close to us.

All you will do with this thread is further entrench people.

I saw your previous thread on this.

Still haven't seen an answer to the question about whether it's an actual end to the funding, or a change to the funding mechanism (money still there to be spent in same way, under shiny rebrand)

I have no previous thread on this.

Really you guys need to stop now.

I didn’t vote Tory, I’m concerned about the specific point you mention - it’s something that potentially could affect one of my family - but people are going to have been thinking about more than just that one point.

A lot of the people I know have said that they didn’t like any of the voting options available, and there’s a fair proportion of the Tory voters I know personally who’ve said that they considered the Tories as the least bad option, rather than as a party they wholeheartedly support. Plus the Tories will have got a lot of pro-Brexit voters supporting them mainly for that.

Of course their policies are going to affect me. I’m not naive.
Labour’s policies would also affect me.
So I repeat, I voted accordingly and I am happy with my choice.

I would suggest you look up the definition of democracy and go and try to enjoy your day.

I'm terrified of how this will affect my autistic DS, i am also disabled. But these threads won't help OP there's nothing we can do now. I voted Labour and in honesty i'm devastated but people who voted Conservative aren't going to regret what they've done. I'm considering moving but i'm just not sure what's best for the children yet.

Are the provisions for the disabled and autistic better anywhere else?

They know. They don’t care.

What an embarrassment Britain is.

no they didn't vote to defund it. If you have read it carefully it should be clear that they were talking about increased funding that would stop in 3 years. Not all funding. Just 3 years of increased funding that would then stop.

I as deeply saddened to see a huge Tory Billboard affixed to the house of a man with quite advanced dementia. He cannot find the village shop that is three doors away let alone understand who he wants to vote for. Yet he had a vote and was clearly pressurised into using it without understanding.

another here who would vote tory again today.

I didn’t vote conservative but frankly I’m sick of this self righteous shit. Stop assuming that people don’t read and don’t understand what they’re voting for. You know, maybe just maybe get your head round the fact that other people might know what they’re voting for, it might just not be the same as you.

I have never ever ever voted Tory in my life. I can’t stand Boris. But this fucking whining and blaming from the far Left has already driven labour voters away in their hordes.

Just stop OP. It’s embarrassing

Do you feel the election result was not conclusive enough? Should we do a revote?

I read both Tory and labour. Both were somewhat depressing, both I found difficult to credit, but one was obviously hostile towards people like me and my family conjuring up memories of the ethnic cleansing masquerading as economic policy suffered by my grandparents generation. The labour manifesto specifically.

This is the third thread on this issue, the other two have been deleted. From what I recall from replies on those, this does NOT mean funding will come to an end but the annual increases.

Yawn.

People don't think policies will ever affect them. They feel they have some sort of immunity from ill health, disease, accident, mental ill health or redundancy.

This suggests they believe that other people have chosen for things to go wrong.
Even vast wealth cant protect you from disease or bad government.

Its the same kind of magical thinking that Labour suffers from, just projected in a different direction.
