David Cameron's speech - did anyone think he could just have turned the polls round?

[TheDullWitch]

That striding about without notes business was quite impressive. I did get bored though.

missed it!

not doubt we'll get a precis on the news

I thought it was good. It was well delivered, but he is good at that bit.

I'm now decided. I shall go into the polling booth and write 'David Cameron' on my ballot paper.

good for you

I dont know but I wish he'd bog orf! The security in Blackpool at the mo is ridiculously overblown - they are concrete road blocks through the town centrre FGS - like flaming Beirut!

No election this year then...

LOL sue

didn't see it but he's almost doing it for me on the non dom stuff and some other sensible stuff he said that I've forgotten now

And I'm a LIFELONG Champagne Socialst

PMSL Sue......

Can'rt see I will be voting for him, though. As we're not part of his target households, we seem to not exist! Don't home own, reliant on (disability) benefots for 2 X ds (disability benefits include WTC by the way), Dh with 2 jobs so ahrdworking and me a student but no chance of ever inheriting anything much (one MIL has disowned us due to the disabilities, my aprents tenants and FIL lves us dearly but his partner is dh's age)

here we go again

because of his impressive delivery or because you agree with their policies?

Well, he hasn't changed the way I'll vote.

He makes me less scared of the Tories getting in.

Dullwitch be scared......... be very scared!!!

did anyone catch the piece on George Osborne in the guardian or observer, can;t remember which at the weekend.

his idea of his old school's liberal and wide social spectrum was that it did not matter 'if your mum was the head of a multinational corporation or a solicitor in Kew'

PMSL

its his air of superiority that gets me

I know, I think a dangerous complacency, plus a "Oh let's have a bloody change" mentality is going to let Tories in.

And before you know it, it ll be goodbye free nursery places etc etc

And silly old Gordon has painted himself into a corner. If he doesn't call the election now, he's going to look frit.

Isn't Gordon pretty much out of time to call an election- they said it had to be this week for Occtober on the News? Anything else would be too wintery for the risk.

PMSL at geotrge Osborne's social breadth- and crying simultaneously

FWIW I don't think they'll get in, too many people like the idea of change buta lso like the benefits of a labour Giovernment (eg WTC) to take the risk

Oh just seen it, I still not keen on him but I liked what he said.

So Dave my Tory vote is still safe!

nah - never will.

Only Bryan ferry coud make me go tory and he woud have to be very very dirty

Oh George Osborne gives me the creeps. I haven't read that article yet because I can't bring myself to look at the accompanying photo
But all that stuff about inheritance tax & stamp duty: er, how ya gonna pay for that, Georgie Porgie? oh yeah...abolishing free nursery places etceraaah, etceteraaah...

But I am really worried they'll squeak through because of people like my mother who read the Daily Mail & are obsessed with inheritance tax even though they (or we, rather) will end up paying very little. In fact, if it meant keeping out a Tory government, I'd happily pay triple inheritance tax on whatever I get from my mother...

Well, scrapping free nursery places isn't what they plan to fund the inheritance tax cuts with. The idea seems to be take it from the super rich who get off very lightly under the present government. For some reason.

George Osbourne also gives me the creeps though.

I'm with scampdoodle
anyone with half a brain can look at the economy since 1997 and know that letting any Tory in, however artfully PR'd, casually and familiarly attired, however down to earth they might seem... is out of the question.

George osborne gives great anagrams ds and I decided
