Current Affairs 2017 General Election

How is it like saying that at all?

It's just grouping all voters into a single viewpoint without taking into consideration that everyone is different and may have different beliefs......a simplistic approach.....

 

[peteblue]

For such an old person you aren't half immature.

Keep on wumming while disabled people have to crawl around on the floor because your party won't fund them to live a dignified life.

What have you done, personally, to improve the life of a disabled person this week. I know what I've done and I vote conservative. Unless you have put yourself out don't come pointing fingers at everyone else......

No it isn't. @Brennan was saying that by voting for conservatives, you are endorsing their sickening cuts on disability payments. Which is true, isn't it?

 

[Brennan]

No, it's quite simply fact.

The Tories have decimated the lives of the disabled. If you vote Tory, you are condoning this approach. I suggest you learn the definition of 'condoning' before trying to pick apart my posts.

'Approve or sanction, especially with reluctance'

Utter nonsense of an argument.

Tory voters are condoning this:

Disgusting.

Pretty shocking as was this disgusting remark.

'The Tory candidate standing in Jo Cox MP’s former seat joked the campaign is going well as ‘we have not yet shot anybody’.

Dr Ann Myatt, running for election in Batley and Spen, made the comment during a hustings debate held for constituents to quiz each candidate before the vote on June 8.

Praising the event, she said: ‘We have here people of all faiths, we have here people from different parts of the community, and we have not yet shot anybody so that’s wonderful.’

She laughed after making the comments, but the rest of the room mostly remained silent".

As was the Tory MP quoted in the Telegraph the other day, that whoever thought up the Social care should be 'taken out and shot'. Pretty tasteless.

I seem to remember you backing Boris Johnson during the leadership contests.

I thought he'd be a bit of fun as a leader.....

 

[peteblue]

Utter nonsense of an argument.

So, what have you done......

 

[dead_soft]

So, what have you done......

Why does that matter? No one is being asked to vote for me, so I won't enter into such a redundant debate.

Seriously though, he would have been bad. Have you seen May's attempt at humour in saying Corbyn would be going into negotiations 'alone and naked?'

She's weirdly unnatural at this.

 

[davmaher]

You sound like a Labour voter to me, my friend.

And you would be right. Doesn't mean I am overly confident on Corbyn, though, or the influence the likes of McCluskey has over the party. I was a party member during the late 70's and early 80's but became disenchanted with the way the party was going then and gave it up. I think I've had a similar experience to @Joey66 on this, although probably not to quite the same degree.

 

[peteblue]

Why does that matter? No one is being asked to vote for me, so I won't enter into such a redundant debate.

So it's someone else's responsibility then, just vote for Labour and you can sleep at night, no need to do anything yourself....

She's weirdly unnatural at this.

She has a strange way with words and doesn't look at all easy in the public eye. Yet, she seems to have complete control of her cabinet, which contains people like Boris......

I looked after my disabled mum for over 20 years before she died and saw what the nasty Tories were trying to do to her... trying to make her go back to work when it wasn't possible. She worried every day about being forced to go to work, which she would have loved to have done.

So yes by voting Tory you are condoning this awful nasty approach to the disabled and it doesn't matter a jot if you help someone who disabled or not.

Don't worry mate, he will not take his state pension or winter fuel allowance, because he thinks by taking the money it would make the public finances worse.
