Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Three Tories disappoint me:

The Chancellor. Surprisingly. he should come over as being 'rock solid' but the fiasco with NI and the over-ruling from Theresa May has wrecked 'the team' for me.

The Foreign Secretary. I now think Boris is a 'baffoon' and not really fully up to the job. Yes, he is clever enough but his mouth has got too much diarrhea and so he goes up one step and down two steps a lot of the time.

The Prime Minister. The 'strong and stable leader' (and government) election theme has been wrecked by reversals, particularly so on the previous NI one (above) but primarily massively on the 'Dementia Tax' fiasco. consequently, we cannot now trust what Theresa tells us any longer.

Corbyn is doing a stormer with this election! He truly is! He is now a 'first class knocker, hit the nail on the head, government basher'. It is such a pity we have got to have about another week of listening to him.

'God Help Us!' (and I'm an atheist!) if he should actually happen to gain a working majority or even create a hung parliament with all of his magic fix promises!

if labour get in rates up good news can we have defaults in the housing market would like to buy cheap . lets get house prices to drop big time come on corbyn get the trops out lets have a crash love it

Here's the sort of bad stuff, that unexpectedly happens when things start to go wrong:

A couple of years ago at friends we watched a twisting cloud try to make ground. On one hand we were excited about the prospect of seeing such an event, on the other we were fearful of the destructive power. Pretty much how I feel about a Labour win; I'd like to see the spectacle of them trying to deliver the Moon on a stick but don't fancy the carnage.

Mind, there is a generation or two who need a taste of abused union control. I can see the group of students on Victoria Derbyshire discussing the trauma of the internet and mobile phone outages.

Loads of youngsters won't vote and lots of disgruntled Tory pensioners and remainers will realise what the alternative is and will carry on voting Tory.

Imo that's what the opinion polls are not currently reflecting.

If May wins with a reduced majority (still can't see this happening) then I expect to see her resign and another general election being called for October.

Pensioners' realisation.

Yes.

Turning up in an A + E unit with a coronary needing a bypass operation and told to go to the end of the queue.

Shortage of beds and no medical staff.

Or living with dementing parents and unable to afford or get treatment.

Ask your kids, they may be worrying about you already.

You have to pay for 10'000 new police though Freda , how you going to pay for that as well .

if the min wage is going to be £10 what are skilled works going to want ,
that will cost ever one more ,
are you willing to pay an elec or gas or chef or taxi or roofer and more double what you are now paying

then doctors dentists nurses teachers will all want more

the poor will be the losers big time

fred answer this question with honesty not dribble

fred £ 10 a hour that's £400 a week . that will force prices up so what do we do about the pensions . should we allow the old to go to a cliff and die

and abolishing uni fees and loads and loads of dosh for schools ..... and there's plenty of other spiffing spendy-spendy schemes too, all to be paid for by the top 1% of earners (that won't get them far) and businesses that will struggle even more to make a profit

no doubt we'll see IHT being ramped up too ...... just a different form of dementia tax

I bet fred will not give a answer

I had the lab guy round yesterday asked him the question infront of next door
he said they have savings to draw on

Manuel,

I sorry you are having difficult times and can't afford a meal out if they tax you a quid or two more.

Remember there are always food banks and beans to cook when you are hungry.

You can always apply for a bus pass and nip next door to watch the telly.

Also, pass on to the kids your house and pay their university bills.

Other people's kids should have a £50000 debt as a legacy for being educated at university level.

We don't need an educated society.

-=-=-=-=-=

Financing is not simple and what you financed is complicated and "wealth" has to be produced. How, when and to what it is distributed "sensibly" is the difficulty.

its very few that leave uni with any sense , I would not employ them and my daughter who employs over 38 would not , they are just useless and think they are to bright to work .

EXec.

Were you referring to Hammond?

I thought him so quiet that he had been sacked by Mother Theresa for having sensible policies?

-=-=-=

By the way, one is allowed to hold on to false beliefs.

their are 3 who left uni 4 years ago now on the floor at Tesco , that's about all they are good for .

You have to pay for 10'000 new police though Freda , how you going to pay for that as well .
================

It's going to cost 300.000 pounds ,that's £30 per week each policeman ask Diane Abbott that's what she said ,now i can see how Labour can do all these wonderful things ,simple .

Sh@t forgot that jimmy .

Keep up VIC ,then she said they would employ 250,000 new police ,that's an increase of about 200 % ..

fred - we certainly don't need a society that is overloaded with graduates with 3rd-rate degrees from 4th-rate unis in 5th-rate subjects and thus have little to offer the market place in the real world


it's a shame that several decades ago we lost the culture in which there were apprenticeships available, not just for the academically talented (there are still plenty of those), but also for (most) others whose skills and potential lay elsewhere

Jimmy and Vicky,

Check Diane Abbott background academic, and "working life" in comparison with your own.

I think she has done exceptionally well for herself and apparently those she has represented.

What have you achieved in comparison?
