The public service attacking the private sector who pay their wages , unless you live in cloud cuckoo land or are just thick
A monkey could of been tory leader, and the result would of been the same.This idea of 'let's pick someone with a northern accent' wasn't necessary for the Tories was it?
1. Posh accent
2. Likes 3 word catch phrases
3. Cracks jokes
4. Can hold a full pint
The votes will roll in.
Have you not read the Jewish times lately?
No problem pal will just emigrate with all the other teachers, doctors, nurses and police. Private bodyguards should suffice
Errr apparently the Trust does speak for all fans!Are you assuming that the Jewish Times speaks for all Jews? Does The Sun/Mail etc speak for all Britons? Does the Trust speak for all Cov fans?
Why would teachers do that when they have so much time off , I know as I have to cover my own holidays
Where the fuck did I say the Jewish times speaks for all Jews?Are you assuming that the Jewish Times speaks for all Jews? Does The Sun/Mail etc speak for all Britons? Does the Trust speak for all Cov fans?
While I agree the sentiment is a bit over the top it can be argued there is some truth in it.
Labour (and others) went for the broad stroke of policies rather than one issue. They went with trying to explain why these things would be good whereas what the Tories wanted wouldn't be. Trouble with this is it can come across as condescending and smarmy.
Tories went with KISS. Just make it one issue as much as possible and everything else keep as basic and vague as possible. Repeat the same old short catchphrase over and over. Put out disinformation and smears and assume people won't check. Distract people to negate negative press by the same means. They treated people like they were stupid, they were just clever enough to not let that view slip out(or at least not very often and if they do, like JRM, you get sidelined). Look at the huge majority they got with these tactics.
Labour/lefties get worked up and emotional because they genuinely care about improving things, hence at times the frustration resulting in derogatory language. Conservatives are (on the whole) more concerned about the effect on themselves and if there is benefit to others they can use as leverage even better. If it makes people's lives worse, keep it hidden.
If it was the other way round and we had a system more akin to the Scandinavian model where the likes of Conservatives wouldn't have the same influence and thus able to run the system to their own benefit like they do here do you not think they wouldn't get frustrated and call people stupid. Look at some of the billionnaires who very quickly result to insults when a board prevents them from doing something they want.
This is our 2016 Trump-Clinton moment. Clinton was more progressive and tried to explain her policies but came across as arrogant and smarmy. Trump went with a catchy slogan, entertain the masses at rallies and just make false claims about others that you assume people won't check.
This is a potentially dangerous trend for the future.

Corbyn lost the election, rather than Boris won it.
Bring back the workhouses, why go back to the 70s with Corbyn when you can go back to Victorian times with Coventrian.Agree 100%.
Lazy Brits who milk the system should be forced to work imo. I also think that people on benefits should pay a token gesture to the nhs/health service of a couple of quid a week.
I really hope this isn't the way things go. Maybe if we all hadn't been so accepting of the fact politicians lie over the years we wouldn't have this mess now. The thought that the solution will be for everyone else to ramp up the lies and deceit does not sit well with me.
What - another "blizzard of lies"?How about someone who has lied his whole life, wrote essays for and against Brexit and who evades interviewers with half a brain?

My niece is currently training to be a nurse; my daughters' friend is a diabetic nurse; and my mates daughter is also a nurse. But WHY can't we produce more of our own? We do we have so many coming over? Is the training and education better and cheaper overseas? And, if so, how come so many come to the UK on student visas to study in our universities?It’s not about ‘increasing’ immigration for the sake of it. But where do you get doctors/nurses if the country can’t produce it’s own? It’s multi layered and very complex.... not just the sub total of Farage standing in front of a poster saying ‘don’t let them in’

I'm not trying to be smart, I honestly don't know why we can't produce our own NHS doctors and staff and why there is this necessity to recruit from abroad.
It’s not “evidence” it’s engineered spin

More money needs investing. I’d be more than happy to pay more tax out of my earnings. A lot wouldn’t. Tell me that’s not what it ultimately boils down to.
Me too. Many others were willing to as well.
Labour were offering those worse off the chance to get a share of the taxes of those who are comfortable but they turned that down in the name of their precious Brexit. Serves them right.
Training bursaries being removed has been a killer just in that area.My niece is currently training to be a nurse; my daughters' friend is a diabetic nurse; and my mates daughter is also a nurse.

I’ve read through your posts and I don’t necessarily disagree with your political stance, in fact I’d guess we agree on most of it. But i’m not having the ‘serves them right’ rhetoric. The ‘them’ is people in my family and if things do go as tits up as you are suggesting is also ultimately going to be you and me. So wind it in a bit.
Absolutely this. I have no issues with someone who has the skills to come here if there is the need.The implication was that wishing for reduced immigration is somehow morally wrong.
Why should a qualified nurse from New Zealand or Australia have to jump through more hoops to work in the UK than a European worker ?
While I’m here anyone who genuinely had an issue with immigration can block me right now and never see the amazing library of gifs I’ve still got to share. And if anyone think they are going to ‘send me back’ good luck packing me off to Jamaica, South Africa, Scotland, The Netherlands and that one last little bit to Manchester.
I certainly have zero problem with it and it was never an in this election I don’t believe
You are not that naive surely. As much as I call you a bellend from time to time I know you’ve got your head screwed on.
This very night I’ve heard immigration as the very reason told directly to my face several times.
City arms, Albany club. Friday evening.
“Not you though mate”
I genuinely find that depressing

Boris said this just a couple of days ago.
