A Question for Tory Supporters

I'm very envious of those of you who live in marginal seats where your vote really will count. I'm in a gammon-eating, Brexit-loving constituency where the previous Tory MP had a >20,000 majority.

All the more reason to vote and to encourage others to vote.

I hope that enough people where I live vote Conservative so that we can have a change from our career politician Labour MP. I reckon that it is the highest paying job he can get for doing nothing. Any other job wouldn't pay him to do as little as he does as an MP.

So who do you want to be in power?

What’s wrong with Jo Swindon as a candidate in comparison?
I don’t mean what’s wrong with lib dem policies.

Loving the planned labour £1.2tn splurge (though the real figure will likely to be far higher)....I think they have a winning formula here, get elected, splash cash around so that it looks like your making big improvements to people’s lives, bankrupt the country and then when your kicked out of power and the tories are back in and have to implement austerity again, sit on the sidelines moaning about how mean and nasty they are.

Meanwhile 80% of the press who are obviously left wing enable them to do this.

It was only the other week when I was watching a sky news interview with Sarah-Jane mee and Shami Chakrabarti about labours proposed abolition of private schools (another winner) that when questioned about this Shami completely ducked the question giving a jokey answer.

She wasn’t pressed about this(unlike Boris Johnson who was hounded by sky news to answer if he had once touched a women’s leg 20 years ago who has only just conveniently surfaced now), so how is this unbiased reporting? And compared to the BBC, I consider sky right wing.

Let’s see when labour release their ‘fully costed’ manifesto which, like the 2017 work of fiction, will likely go completely unchallenged by the mainstream press.

It speaks volumes that you can't see a difference between asking a politician about a policy that has already been released, and asking our sleaze of a Prime Minister about an alleged sexual assault against someone who has stood up and named him and herself.

Even with this, studies have shown that negative press coverage is largely weighted against the Labour Party.

Please don't bother to reply that you don't think grabbing a woman's inner thigh who doesn't want your hand there, doesn't count as a sexual assault. Just don't.

Sleaze doesn't begin to describe Johnson. He is a man without belief or principle who will lie again and again to stay in power.

The scandal over Boris Johnson’s friendship with technology entrepreneur Jennifer Arcuri was reignited on Saturday after the Observer revealed that the independent police watchdog has delayed its announcement on whether the PM should face an investigation into possible criminal misconduct until after the election.

The decision prompted fury from Westminster politicians and London assembly members who said it appeared that a ruling had been “suppressed” in order to protect Johnson from potentially damaging headlines at a crucial stage of the election campaign.

Nine Russian business people who gave money to the Conservative Party are named in a secret intelligence report on the threats posed to UK democracy which was suppressed last week by Downing Street.

Oligarchs and other wealthy Tory donors were included in the report on illicit Russian activities in Britain by the cross-party intelligence and security select committee (ISC), whose publication was blocked by No 10.

Some Russian donors are personally close to the prime minister. Alexander Temerko, who has worked for the Kremlin’s defence ministry and has spoken warmly about his “friend” Boris Johnson, has gifted more than £1.2m to the Conservatives over the past seven years.

Even on MSE you get the Tory shills parroting the same anti-corbyn propaganda that has been bandied around for years.

People complain about momentum, but there's never any mention of the army of Tory posters who go around message boards, comments sections and forums posting anti-corbyn smears almost hourly.

Boris had an emotional and upsetting childhood thanks to his parents divorcing. In another thread you seemed to suggest such an upbringing gave people a free pass to commit crimes, a bit of a u-turn there? I guess the free pass doesn't extend to people with more money than you?

Now that Vince Cable is stepping down I'll definitely be voting LibDem (assuming you really meant Jo Swinson ) in the next GE. I had a dilemma that I wouldn't vote Labour/Conservative but Cable's shameful Royal Mail share allocation limit was putting me off the LibDems too.

Just so we are all caught up, let's not leave out JRM's appalling assertion that the people who died in Grenfell did so because they were just too working class and stupid not to save them themselves.

Yes, this idiots idea of an intellectual believes he would have saved himself due to his social superiority. Naturally, he's in Johnson's cabinet. Of course he is.

All he did arguably was mention the elephant in the room.

Poor people are of lower intellect. That is why they are poor. If they were more intelligent they would not be poor. Health permitting of course?

Labour voting sheeple even though Labour doesnt give a t0ss about them apart from scoring cheap political points.

Labour. Misery for the many.
