Current Affairs 2017 General Election

As an aside if I do get banned for calling a Tory a Tory, then that's proof that they are ashamed of what they have done.

As well they should be, and I pray they don't get a cut finger on a parcel delivery and need to use the privatised NHS that they voted for to get stitches. Could be costly...

Why would anyone ban you for that?

Odd sort of position to take.

I mean, there is stupid, and then there is this.

We've already had seven years of it mate. Add 7 to 14.

Why don't you just do your nuclear option and accuse Everton fans of being Sun readers again? That's your level.

I didn't accuse Everton fans of being Sun readers. I said to you "Go read the Sun", for reasons that were discussed at length at the time.

As for the point you have made, I did misread your initial post and thought you'd said 20 more years, rather than 20 years in total. I would however point out that 2010-2015 was a Coalition government (not Tory as 1979-1983 was), and that the political landscape is different now than it was then, specifically as Scotland is largely lost to Labour (which removes 40-50 seats).

It's almost like I've got experience of a known shy Tory objecting to my anti Conservative stance.

Roy, wherever you live I'm sure mr fox has done a great job getting potholes fixed so you don't get a puncture as you deliver the next jobless scumbag their 86 inch plasma, tell me which of his other votes you agree with?

Is it voting against same sex marriage?

Is it voting FOR the war in iraq?

Is it voting against military action vs dAESh?

Is it voting AGAINST weflare rises?

Is it against higher benefits for the disabled?

Is it against raising income tax for those earning over £150,000?

Is it voting against taxing bankers bonuses?

Is it voting FOR regulating trade unions more?

Is it when he consistently voted to REDUCE capital gains tax?


Please expand, mate.

Should have included my source, https://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/10213/liam_fox/north_somerset/votes

apologies.

Interesting reading on his other opinions as well.

If you can sleep after voting for a man like that then good luck to you.


I'm alright JACK

Call me a Tory lad and I'll punch you on the nose, right?

The site would nose dive if everyone knew. Think of the twitter follower count...

Rumbled.

 

[davmaher]

I saw that labour want to lower voting age to 16 (on the manifesto linked a couple of pages ago) is anyone else doing that?

To be honest, that's outrageous...voting at 16?

There was an interesting take on this during the campaign. A 16 year old said that she could legally have sex with her local candidate, have a baby by him, but not vote for him.

Rumbled.

You've been burnt lid!!

*pulls up chair

 

[edge]

I agree wholeheartedly but the only conclusion I can draw is that they are ladder pullers and I'm alright jacks, but I've already been pulled up on that


For the interests of balance I've had this same argument with my Brexit voting now Tory voting father (who lives in Marbella, lol irony) over the last few days.

there was a item on the BBC red button yesterday, about two fellas in Blackpool young homeless fella third time it had happened to him,. older fella on mobility , had been sanctioned lost his car, and later won it back on appeal, he was going on about how skint he was, young lad said he was voting labour as it gave him some hope, then they asked the other older fella who he as voting, TORY I nearly webbed the telly in, how can you ever get anywhere with divs like that voting, my lad was buzzing off the fume levels on show from myself, but its the likes of him that keep the status quo.

No need to expand mate, if you actually read my post explaining why I voted for Fox.

I am utterly disengaged with this election. It was called by an opportunist PM, who has fought a crap campaign, about an issue I voted against.

The main opposition, I listened to, I thought Corbyn did exceptionally well, (he may well win, who knows?). But like I said, I decided to vote for the local candidates down here, because neither May, nor Corbyn, made me want to actively vote for them. I get it that by default, I am "supporting" May, but in my conscience, I voted for Liam Fox, and his constituency record.

He happens to be Tory.

If he had been Labour, Liberal, or Green, I would have done the same thing.

As a politically engaged individual, I would have thought that swerving the sheep would have appealed to you. Obviously not, because I voted in a way that you disagree with, and hence the veiled abuse.
