To finally be looking forward to a GE?

[Cadela]

The past election/PM changes have been horrendous. The visceral disappointment was awful each time.

I can’t wait to actually celebrate this year. I know, I know, Labour are going to set fire to the economy and tax everyone £3mil each and it’ll cost you 4 trillion a month to send you kid to private school, and all women will perish immediately because only Tories know what a woman is

But finally! It’s been a long fucking time coming.

Its been a lovely sunny day today, have you been enjoying it?

Agreed. There are a lot of silent voters. And they usually vote conservative.

I’m old enough to have lived through both labour and Tory governments and let’s be honest they are all a shower of shit.
I’ve realised that whether my life has been good or bad has depended on my personal circumstances and whatever government has been in power has made very little difference.

What have Labour said that they will do regarding disabled people?

Bearing in mind Labour have not released a manifesto yet.

So all we know for sure is that they (say they) believe that some women have dicks, and VAT will be added to some education, but not all.

That is certainly exactly what we saw on Thursday.
Many thousands of silent Tories steathily came out and voted for Susan Hall, Andy Street (although he may have confused them by disowning the party prior to the election) and the rest.

In what way do they hate your heritage and history? That sounds like something straight from a Daily Mail induced moral panic. I think it’s probably your values they have an issue with.

Their aim is to work towards an immigration system that actually functions and does so in a way that doesn’t dehumanise other people and incite hatred. They’re not set on destroying the countryside, but providing affordable, fit for purpose housing for the many families (perhaps consider Thatcher’s Right to Buy scheme for a factor in the shortage of social housing, the profiteering of landlords, second homes, failure of the government to meet development targets for many years).
The Tories have blown millions, so let’s not forget that. I hope you share the same amount of vitriol for the rich and powerful who evade tax every year as you do for your cousin.

Not a manifesto is it? 😂

Nothing about what they’ll (not) do for disabled people. As per the article I posted. You love the guardian don’t you? They tell the truth don’t they?

Also ‘Closing private education tax loopholes to improve schoolsWhat this means: ……Through closing this loophole, Labour will raise vital money needed to improve standards in stretched state schools with more teachers.
This funding will also help pay for mental health support staff in every school, working to boost the wellbeing of young people, many of whom still suffering the effects of lockdown’

😂😂😂🤯🤯🤯 Do they think the electorate are stupid?

Well obviously it's not a manifesto - why would any party publish a manifesto when there isn't an election?

You're complaining because something that has no reason to exist, doesn't exist?

Where were they at last year's local elections?

Suella Braverman reckons Tory voters are on strike. Oh the irony.

Neither Tory or Labour have ever done anything much for me.
1997 was exciting and the NHS did improve a lot.
Nowadays it's a bit meet the new boss same as the old boss

So they are either protest voting or striking?

Well, you will have to give the new boss a chance first to find out if they are indeed the same after 14 years of the old boss.

It’s 27 years since we met a new Labour boss the morning after an election. High time we repeated the experience.

Well yes because it worked so well in Greece when they tried to add VAT to education

Is this satire?

I have no idea any more.

And that's exactly why I won't be voting for labour and another reason why I will move my business to another country with favourable taxes so I can afford the VAT.
If Labour's policies were not "class wars", I would consider voting for them.

Around 3 in 10 children (4.3 million children across the UK) live in poverty but VAT on private schools.....

Can I recommend meals of tinned tomatoes and lentils, cancelling your netflix and taking in ironing

Also steathily voting. Which is why the Tories did similarly well.

With a MN chicken as a special treat.

Its the way 30p Lee lives.

I have been excited since 1st January. I wish Sunak would hurry up and name the day!

I don't think they'd leave it till December, poor weather makes it more difficult for the elderly members of the population to vote. (Demographic most likely to vote Tory).

They have already tried to suppress voting with ID requirements and most non passport/driving licence types are forms of pensioner ID such as bus pass.

I think it may be September when the students are off to uni and may not bother to set up a proxy/ postal vote. Labour and Lib Dems need to do a massive publicity push on this.

Would this include private nurseries?
