Off Topic General Election

Mrs Tash asked me today if I fancied tickets to see him at Social
I didn't...but I'd have voted for him there!

 

i just want life to get better for everyone, the technology we now have
it should
there are no excuses for it

 

What do you think first world is? It's probably not what you think. It's nothing to do with wealth. It just so happens first world countries are wealthy (generally).

 

i think money addiction should be a thing
many people need rehab for it
the absolute sickening greed would make smaug jealous

 

Looks like the West Hull Villages have fallen to Labour for the first time.

 

Wouldn't be surprised at all

Exit polls seem less accurate than a few years ago

 

Due to boundary changes?
West Hull certainly is
Haven't noticed exit on other constituencies?

 

industry etc
which again
why should foodbanks be a thing?

 

Yep. We get bogged down too much in distractions but ultimately this is what politics should be about. As time goes on things should be getting better and better for people. Health, wealth, living standards, services and infrastructure. Advancing technology should be making lives easier, cutting costs and even reducing the need for people to work as much. If we're not achieving that then something is wrong.

 

i cant find it right now but i remember reading something about predictions in the future, from maybe the 1950s
and with technology, we would work less etc etc
funny how that works out aint it

its just pure ****ing greed

you can be rich and take 5% less and still be rich
its just so demoralising

 

They shouldn't be a thing...anywhere.

 

Youre right
But im talking about the uk

Which again

We exchanged our workhouses to exploit foreign workers in asia
How disgusting is that?
Not only does it mean less jobs here

 

Apparently Reform might win Goole and Pocklington. Wonder if Pinder wins in my constituency (Bev and Holderness) for Labour because Graham Stuart is the biggest wet-wipe going. Looks like he baits kids with Werther’s.

 

Yes, Emma Hardy realm expanding into the suburbs, good local MP mind.

 

I don't disagree with your point, but I don't think advancements in technology have reduced the need for work. In many respects they've increased it, as ironically people need more money to buy the labour saving devices, so in effect, they're using the time saved by the device so they can then work to get the money to pay for the device.

 

Werthers are dog ****...I'd want at least a bag of starmix to touch it.

 

The East Yorkshire Tory heartlands might all go Labour or Reform.

 

the amount of billionaires has grown expoentially in the last 30 years

thats also a lot of money not in the economy, but also the cause of stagnating wages
horrid labour conditions
and the list goes on


theres a massive massive massive difference between being a multi millionaire and a billionaire

 

Had a fair bit to do with her on something which was getting pushed for the area (which hasn’t yet happened sadly) and she was very supportive and very active.
As were some Tories too I must say, but she came across well

 

If this comes out anything like, I don't think the polls have been that far off.
