General Election 4th July ...

Perhaps they can do what pensioners have to do ...

...cut down on their food bill, turn their heating down and sit under blankets.

 

Or get the Sky TV taken out

 

Tory politicians were recently lecturing poor people on how to feed their families more economically ...

... perhaps they can tell the middle classes how to find cheaper parmesan and artichokes

 

Was it not Lee Anderson who said you could do it for 30p?

 

Probably, there's always someone at it ...

... George Osbourne loved telling people how to economise despite never having to actually do it himself.

Tebbit thought people should just leave their home, friends and families to go to Lincolnshire and pick seasonal vegetables

 

Or perhaps those who work shouldn't be kept from doing the best for their children who are stuck in a system no amount of VAT from private schools will fix while the toffs living off inheritances and old money continue to sail off into the sunset.

Bring everybody up, don't drag as many to the bottom as you can.

 

Dear me, Sunak is an excruciatingly boring man.

I've never really listened to him for more than a few minutes but this is awful.

He's lost the election tonight.

And now they're moving on to D-Day

 

Sunak looks a broken man to me.

 

Labour are not Labour anymore with them announcing lots of public spending cut’s tomorrow

 

His mam must've been breaking her heart watching that ...

... he looked like a poor kid trapped in the corner of the playground by the school bully.

 

But he likes eating twixes, so that must make him an everyday working class man like you and me

 

That was missed by many but it was tragic.

'What can you say to make people like you more?'

'Well my diet is crap'

And this is a man who's lecturing teenagers about mobile phones and wanting to force them into national service.

 

I despise Farage, he's just Katie Hopkins with a cock and balls, but there is absolutely no way in hell people ought to be throwing projectiles at him.

Those events to me are more of an indictment on the two main parties than it is of him. They're so bereft of competence and charisma that Farage is able to stir things up by appealing to the impressionable and the disenfranchised and it scares people.

 

Nailed it

 

I honestly can’t even watch him while he wears those second hand suits he got from Norman Wisdom. Mr Grimsdale

 

I can see the “winner” of the election only getting around 40% of the vote.
Like him or loathe him, Farage will take a lot of votes off the left and right.

 

So politics really is now just a popularity contest played out in reality tv style. I thought as much, and I despair.

Once upon a time we voted for a local politician who would represent your interests, in a manner befitting poltical beliefs. Now we are reduced to this rubbish and people are watching it. Madness in my opinion. Nowt will change while we carry on like this.

 

Agree with this, not forgetting Jo Cox and David Ammes, who were both murdered.

 

Only if you allow yourself to think that way, I don't

My politics depend on looking at the current government and their record ...

... in this case it's disgraceful and I can't wait to see the back of them.

Then I'll start judging the next government.

 

Mine is different. I want to see what parties are commiting to do, then I assess whether they are realistic commitments or not. Then I choose who I will vote for. And I put local needs, then the needs of the needy, at the top of my list of importance.
