Which are the four seats?

 

Are we related?
I have 7 siblings and just one will vote Labour, the rest Tory.
The way you sum up the people you know fits very well with my family’s outlook on life.
I recognise freedom of choice to vote for who you want, but I can’t understand why people, having seen the damage and harm (much of it due to unnecessary austerity) caused to the poor people and those with disability, and the harm done to the NHS still continue to support the party responsible for the problems.
I don’t wish harm on my nieces/nephews/great nieces and great nephews, but until one of them is directly affected by conservative policy, my siblings will continue to ignore the damage that they are condoning.
I have a sister who has received 3 life extending operations, on the NHS, who continually complains about having to go to London to see a consultant.
Previously I have held my tongue, to avoid arguments, but in the future I will remind her that the party she has voted for has deliberately underfunded the NHS at it’s lowest ever level, and had they not done this Southampton General might have a consultant to deal with her condition.

 

I don't think we are related St Badger but I think I love you anyway.......

 

Worth a look as it shows historical links to the plan to sell off the NHS.

Oh please, please, please! I want to see Guildford, Epsom, Waverley, Weybridge and Chingford all change hands - that would be a dream.

 

As someone who has only ever voted Tory, I now cannot see how anyone who gives a vague damn about their fellow human beings can vote Tory in this election.

I try to read balanced views and papers, and I think there will be a few surprises on the night.

Hopefully, we won't see a smiling buffoon, but a smiling statesman on Friday 13th December.

 

This is why the first time I voted Tory, back in 1979, was the last time I voted Tory. I learned quickly. I wish I'd learned even quicker and never had that blot against my voting record. For the vast majority of the population, and almost certainly everyone who reads this message, the Tories are NOT REPRESENTING YOU. They represent a BS aspiration to the ordinary people, and a socialist prop to the very rich. And right now, they've just made that BS aspiration even more see through, knowing full well the paper media will back them to the hilt, because it also suits their purpose. Don't fall for their temptations. I guarantee that public services will be worse if you vote them in, and the country as a whole will go backward. But don't take my word for it. Look up how the Police are feeling worse off. Why the railways workers want to strike, even though railways in the UK are, a minimum, more than twice as expensive as elsewhere in Europe. The NHS is revealed as grossly underfunded yet again. I mean, how much don't people give a **** to vote them in again? Even when they're pulling the wool over peoples eyes for the umpteenth time.

 

An E Mail from Aaron Banks to Dominic Raab has revealed that in their conversation they referred to the Northern voters as "Monkeys". Very respectful.

 

Good grief Corbyn is going round in circles. Even got laughed at from the audience.

 

No fan of Corbyn but thought he was doing quite well. Tory section of audience clearly primed to jeer.

 

Ridiculous. Corbyn is being very clear, whereas Johnson is just blustering, and telling huge lies into the bargain.

 

Bojo is full of Thud and Blunder, and is failing to answer the questions put. Put another way, he is succeeding in deflecting everything away from a genuine statement of fact

 

The questioner has lost control of Johnson too, he just wants to slag off Corbyn and she’s letting him.

 

Johnson is a one trick pony. Brexit.

 

Yep, but then all interviewers allow this, without knocking it back as inaccurate or a barefaced lie.
Once their time is up for responding, their microphones should be switched off.

 

Johnson shakes Corbyn by the hand over stopping the nasty talk in Parliament then spends all his time lying and mudslinging. You couldn’t make it up.

 

Corbyn definitely the more statesmanlike. Pfeffel relying on bluster and snake oil.

 

I still "love" Peter Mandelson.
