Usually vote for the Lib Dems but will be voting for Labour tomorrow.
As a family we are better of under the Tories but they are first class ****s.

Loaf of wholemeal bread-75p
Flora-£1
Block of cheese-£1.50
Bag of apples-£1.
Bunch of bananas-£1.
Water-free.

Cheese sarnies and a couple of bits of fruit, happy days.

There's a weeks work of healthy pack up for a child for just over a fiver with bread, cheese and margarine left over for next week.

How hard is it to make sure your child has something to eat for lunch at school?

Not very is the answer.

It will be easy for people to save on food so they can afford any VAT imposed on school fees then, if that's what they choose to do with their money.

The average additional cost of sending a child to private school is £3,000 if VAT is introduced at the full rate.
 
If the Tories fail to secure a majority then May will be out by Friday night. Can't see it happening though.

I think if she survives this, she'll be gone within a year.

Lot of discord within The Cons and their support - is there anyone on here who actually thinks she'll do a good job?

Personally, I think if Cons get anything up to 40-50 seats majority - then it's a moral victory for Corbyn.

May had it in the bag. She was polling circa Blair in 1997 (when NL got over 400 seats).

Plus, after all her bullshit and going against her word, a GE costs the country a fortune and she called an election when there was no need. Even in victory she'll have crystalised a genuine movement against the govt, unlike prior when virtually every media outley hammered Corbyn (including the like of The Guardian). Unless, it's a crushing win, then what with the absolute mess the Cons will make of Brexit - I'd genuinely back Labour to win the next election.

People are going to be pretty ****ed off unless she delivers 80-100 seat majority (which can still happen, don't get me wrong)
 
Why would I be commiting fraud if an electrician says 'yeah that'll be £80 cash please' and I say 'here you go'?

It wouldn't be if you asked for a receipt and told the electrician you'll be sending it to the local tax office to ensure he, or she, pays tax on it. If you did that I'm sure the electrician would gladly do the job for £80 cash.

It wouldn't be even if I didn't ask that.
 
No matter which propaganda you choose to believe, or that strikes a cord with you - get out and vote.

Or you'll pay for your apathy.

And try to think beyond yourself. I thank you.

Absolutely.

Don't be apathetic or believe the press that it's a forgone conclusion.

If Theresa May loses just 6 seats it's a coalition of chaos with Corbyn and Sturgeon tearing our country apart and allowing muslims to blow us all to smitherines or chop us all into confetti.

All you need is strong and stable plus the magic money tree and you'll be today's winner of Theresa's Soundbite Bingo.
 
I just think Labour have a 'tax them, they can afford it" attitude and don't really think some of their policies through.

Taxing private school fees being an example.

Too ****ing right tax private school fees – they get humungous advantages.

I find it a joke when ‘working people’ are so duped they fall over themselves to protect the monied and advantaged.
 
Here is the secret.

There is only 1 difference between Tory MPs and Labour MPs.

Tory MPs make no bones about liking wealth whereas Labour MPs like it just as much but pretend they don't.
