14 years of Tories

Post by Long slender neck »



This sums it up well. Whats been your favourite bit?

For me, I think its been cutting funds for public services while at the same time having a high tax burden and increasing the nations debt.

Anyone know where you can buy rockets this time of year? I am minded to fire off a salvo of 6, if the exit polls say a Labour landslide at 10.00 PM tomorrow.

Is a landslide good for the country? Every Government needs to have a strong opposition to keep them in check

It’s a genuine question. The vast majority of the worlds population dreams of living in a country like the UK.

I guess we still have some things to be admired like democracy and the nhs. We're a first world country but it feels like these things are being eroded.

Lots of people here dream of something better too.
Apart from everything else that needs changing I hope this is the end of all the flag shagging nonsense.

Here's a thought.

If someone came to your house, broke the boiler, smashed a hole in the roof and blocked up the khazi so it flooded with excrement - you'd be pretty justified in feeling somewhat aggrieved, yes? You'd consider yourself significantly worse off than you'd been before they came to your house?

Someone sleeping on the streets - for example - would still, probably, wish they lived somewhere like your house, though. They'd still see it as a step up, even if you personally felt it wasn't a nice as it had been.

I particularly enjoyed the suspension of reality when they had to pass legislation to say Rwanda was a safe place to deport people to when of course, as we all know, t's not.

Liz Truss's speeches were a highlight for me. The one about cheese still brings me out in goosebumps. Will we ever see her like again?

I particularly enjoyed watching it unravel as the blustering liar try to cling on to power.
Offering jobs to anyone that hadn't resigned, think the security guard turned down the Northern Ireland post.
