If he turns up the day before announcing the easing of restrictions its not going to do much to dispel the idea that he's not been as ill as has been made out / is avoiding scrutiny / its all a PR exercise.

Yep. Pretty much what I suggested would happen before he was hospitalised. Not saying at all that he was faking the severity of it (although to go from death's door to back home in two days would be pretty remarkable) and I'm glad he's recovering, but he may well use his recovery as a handy reason to pick and choose whenever he comes back and it won't be before things look brighter and he can come out and beat his own drum.

Now the NHS is going to run out of gowns within hours. Said it before but you’d have to be a fucking idiot to vote Tory then go and clap the NHS, they’re the same tossers who were cheering with delight after pay rises were rejected.

It's because the twats are obsessed with getting bit ticket companies like Burberry to make stuff and they take ages to get ready. They are ignoring smaller manufacturers who can specialise in turning things out speedily

Labour will never have an election win under there current guise. The working class are not interested in the left wing. The working class have deserted labour in there droves. I guess if your left wing and working class labour are great at the moment,but not for the majority of us in this country. I'm.a floating voter. I have no affiliation to any party. I'd not vote for labour though until they shake off this leftie tag. Labour have forgotten who they're supposed to represent. I work in manufacturing,arent labour supposed to be the party for the likes of me? The party for the people? Nobody I work with votes labour. I'd vote labour again in the future but not at the moment. The way the labour party is represented on here is how the floating voter sees them. Frothing left wingers who scream and shout nazi,racist,bigot at you if you disagree with them or dare raise a genuine question about something. This is why floating voters like me are kind of forced to vote Tory. I'm not getting pulled into a discussion about all this by the labour party 'enthusiasts' on here as you just cant seem to reason with them. They seem to be more into the labour party than they are the city. Like I've said,labour need to win back us,the working class neutral types we dont feel like you represent us anymore,no the Tories dont represent the working class but we know what the Tories are about,looking after the Tories but at least they dont pretend to represent the working class like labour do. Que the usual frothing idiots.

My thoughts exactly they just don’t get it do they?

And yet none of you can explain it either it seems.

Who are they?

 

[westcountry_skyblue]

You’re not neutral though, you’ve admitted you’re anti-Labour. I just pointed out that if you’re honest you can’t explain why. “Anti working class” is clearly bollocks. At best you mean “pro immigrant”.

Come on, prove me wrong. What Labour policies are anti working class and what Tory ones aren’t?

If you’ve paid any attention at all to my ranting about Labour you’ll know the last thing I want is to carry on as we are, but that doesn’t mean not calling our pure bollocks when I see it.

I don’t give a fuck who you vote for mate, but I’ll keep calling it how I see it no matter how many of you snowflakes start crying.

Edit: hang the fuck on. You keep boasting about how minted you are and what a massive house you live in. Why do you give a fuck about the working class? You’re clearly not one of them.

But aren’t most of the Labour Party too,Minted 2/3 homes as well eg Corbyn,McDonnell,Lady Nugee,Starmer they’ve all got several homes.
Tory/Labour they’re all in it together!!

No and they never will. The standard reply to us the floating vote is to call us thick or racist. You know,the usual bollocks. They're an unelectable joke but deep down these on here know it. I love throwing in a couple of grenades and watch them all wet their pants. Bitter bastards.

Apparently, we’ll actually not apparently, there is workers furloughed sitting at home that work for smaller manufacturers who don’t need to reconfigure large operations before they can start production. If the government’s going to pay them they may as well do it by awarding contracts to the companies they work for.

The irony of course is that they keep going on about wartime mentality and then don’t use cottage industry to it’s full effect like we did in WW2.

To be fair you are both thick and a racist.

 

[westcountry_skyblue]

What other alternative is there. We dont want a left wing labour government in charge. The majority of the country dont. Only those who are left wing and staunch labour cant see the problem.

Very true

Again - more shite and not a single pertinent point. Just more tag lines from Facebook.

Who'd want to be a medic when the gov sticks its fingers up at you like this:

Not to hard to work out why. If they get referred to HSE there will be serious questions asked about lack of PPE etc. That's the last thing the government wants happening.

 

[clint van damme]

Very true

You're agreeing with that but said you could vote for Labour under Starmer.
Coventrians said he's a floating voter but doesn't want a Labour government

I'm sorry but the thinking on this from the pair of you is all over the fucking shop.

Do you think the Coventrian - who is own admission a person who has little formal. Education and from traditional labour stock - someone labour need to appeal to going forward or are labour too superior to want his vote?

Astute says he’d never vote anything but labour but can’t bring himself to vote at all. What is causing that?

 

[Ian1779]

No of course they should want to appeal to him and gain his vote. But equally Coventrian is happy to champion a group of people that will make HIS LIFE WORSE - and he bemoans anyone that may try and offer a way forward as some kind of lunatic fringe. Not because he actually has looked at the detail to make this informed decision, but because he’s bought some shitty tag line fed to him...

And if he has done so he could at any point share one piece of that wisdom..... just one....

He said he would vote for Starmer.
From what I can make out Corbyns free broadband plan was a deal breaker!

How do you know they will make his life worse?

 

[Ian1779]

That will depend on whether he’s working class or middle class.... he seems to glaze between the two depending on the conversation.

 

[Ring Of Steel]

Is this true that they’re now asking people to treat coronavirus patients with no gowns?

 

[Ring Of Steel]

that’s true actually, he’s whatever he feels like being depending on what point he wants to prove and who he wants to take his pentup frustrations out on during that particular day

 

[clint van damme]

Yes. But when they do get one, probably in May, it will be designer.

My god, and I take it Boris is still taking it easy, completely unable to communicate while Hancock tries to flog badges.

It feels like they have genuinely lost control of this now and are just floundering from one day to the next hoping the social distancing works eventually

It's hard to draw any other conclusion.

This is going to blow your mind:

View attachment 14880

Even the most right wing voters in this country are centre left. And only getting more so.

You don’t want left-wing but can’t even define it....

Wanting left but knowing we need to be closer to the middle is what is needed to win an election.

 

[Grendel]

Or perhaps under Tories he’s someone whose demonstrated hard work is rewarded and his managed to improve his commercial wealth and lifestyle

I assume a vote for labour is a vote for personal wealth improvement and not a race to the bottom?

Would you want 16 year old working class school leavers to aspire to live in half million property and a very comfortable life style. A vote for labour has to offer that opportunity doesn’t it?

 

[Ian1779]

Either way - still not a single actual reason as to why he hates lefties and their policy. And you wonder why this country is in the shit it’s in?

I’d prefer the 16 year old not to have half starved to death on their way there.... or do you call that character building?

 

[Ring Of Steel]

It's hard to draw any other conclusion.

This is the worst “leadership” this country has had in a century, perhaps even longer. They’re either in hiding, making gaffe after blunder & telling lies, and collectively they’re responsible for people dying. They are unfit to be in employment let alone be in government.

As always, spoken like someone who knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing. You’re a very empty person.

But it’s OK because we can’t have the lefties in charge.
