I bet it was the tax increases for PAYE employees earning over 80K that swung it for you, too

Looks like Leavers binning Labour for Brexit party rather than an increase in Tory voters. A scenario I imagine we will see in other constituencies.

I refuse to vote for any party that has an apostrophe

As somebody said to me at The Amex today if you think the country owes you a living and you want to attempt to get rich by doing nothing vote Labour.

Can you expand on that?

How will Labour help me get rich by doing nothing?

Genuinely curious.

Boomers get free education.

Boomers snapped up cheap social housing properties on right to buy.

Zoomer pays student loan deductions where the boomer doesn't on the same salary.

No houses left, zoomer pays £8k per annum to the boomer in private rent.

But yes, undermine the young people and belittle them like they don't want to work for their money.

ITV debates, and BBC QT - both where Corbyn would appear to be the 'winner' - yet the Tory lead grows. Politics is getting odder by the day!

Is it because?

1. The vast majority of our 65m population, do not watch the TV debates. Whereas us NSC’ers think they’’re the be all and end all. What were the viewing figures?
2. 90% of those watching hate Boris or hate Corbyn, so virtually no one changes their mind?
3. Sneering, shouting and laughing from the audience (right or left) wins no friends amongst swing voters?
4. The shows are run pretty poorly with rhetorical questions from smirking zealots (right or left) aimed simply at making someone look a fool or their hero a god?

Just asking?

Tory MP's are the very epitome of thinking we owe them a living and getting rich by doing nothing. You really are a mug.


I notice your posts, and a lot of Leaver's posts to be fair, always seem to start with; "Somebody said to me" or "I was reading" or "so and so was saying". Very rarely ever "I was thinking" or "I think". Just an observation.

You don’t sound very keen on Rupert the brave fox-hunting types!

On that digressing theme, if the Tories get a colossal majority, I wonder if they’ll fully legalise fox-hunting again?

Corrected for you.

Is it the same bloke who tells you all the rubbish football opinions you post here?

I do share many values with Conservatives. In fact I consider myself a conservative with left leaning tendencies. Fox hunting? It's not something I really care about. I couldn't vote conservative having grown up in Thatcher's Britain and I would never vote for a party that carried members such as Mogg, Gove and Johnson. Maybe in the future but at this present time their members, their attempts to sell off the NHS, their overt contempt for UK citizens and their Brexit policy rules them out of my options.

Labour promise compensation to women over pensions - upto £58b

I think they have smashed the £250B barrier on spending promised now, let's hope they find an interest free credit card to pay for all of this
