Is this the nursery vs the juniors trick question?

The last thing this country and it's "hard working people" needs is another Thatcher reign.

the country is on the edge of breaking with anger and uncertainty as it is.
if a Thatcher government gets back in again we will all pay the price. and all suffer the doom.

So let me guess.... there is absolutely nothing wrong voting for a party with a Terrorist Sympathiser as leader and there is nothing at all wrong with voting for IRAbour ?

Look at it realistically.

how much can you afford to lose in income a year to the Conservatives?
(taking into account that you may hit the roof when petrol goes up 1p a litre equating to a few pence a week)
they've said they've done all they can to welfare for the moment. so the money will have to come from the rest of us. the party just wants your money. how much can you afford to lose. and how much do you think they'll want to steal?

all in it together. means it's your turn now too.
don't fool yourself thinking it's all about everybody else and not you.

Re: June 8th General Election

Best election slogan I've seen to date is from some Labour supporters. "Make June the end of May".

Don't be daft, Gary. Which party was it that took the lowest income earners out of tax altogether? Most people have actually figured out that the Conservatives are the low taxation party. Absolutely no other party even gets close to their record.

Labour want more of your money so they can spend, spend, spend. I don't know how the poor can seriously believe that a Labour Government post 2010 can be good for them, given we are trillions of quid in debt. It would take them a very short time to render our country a basket case.

Re: June 8th General Election

Nope there's nothing wrong with voting for a guy who will pay £billions to keep Trident but has told everyone he won't use it....

IRAbour have serious division issues in their own shadow cabinet, Emily Thornberry, said in a LBC interview that Trident could still be placed under review and scrapped. This got a slap down by Shadow defence Secretary, Nia Griffiths, who was reported to have said, Emily Thornberry is wrong and with all due respect is not the Shadow defence secretary.

Meanwhile, it has come to the surface that Diane Abbott, supported the IRA in terms of them defeating Britain.

Quote:
As part our ongoing investigation into the Labour leadership’s links with the IRA, The Sunday Times found that Diane Abbott explicitly backed victory for the IRA in an interview with a pro-republican journal.

Abbott, who will become home secretary if Labour wins the election, said in the 1984 interview that Ireland “is our struggle — every defeat of the British state is a victory for all of us. A defeat in Northern Ireland would be a defeat indeed.” She said she did not regard herself as British.
https://andrewgilliganblog.wordpress...-the-document/

She really is a vile pig and I cannot believe this disgrace for an MP, is still an MP. If IRAbour win, big if, but if they do, this vile pig will be Home Secretary. She makes my blood boil that racist bitch.

Chillax Mick mate, all this vile and hate can't be doing your BP much good. Labour can't win anyway so it's not an issue is it?

Think you've just swung the opinions polls a bit more Ken ! I predict a U-turn over social care in the next week, just like there was over national insurance. Theresa isn't that strong and stable after all. At least the manifesto will pulp well....
