The Conservative Party

Just finished the first chapter in David Cameron’s autobiography. The absolute state this county was in when he took office was scary. He did wonderful things in forming the coalition with nick clegg.

Cameron made mistakes which he comes onto. But he is by heart a compassionate centre right conservative. He inherited a county that was overspending by 11 percent of its gdp every year. Had too many kids going to university for useless degrees and a hugely bloated public sector. As he said the previous government had just spent spent spent. The situation was completely unsustainable. He also rightly emphasised that to many it was better and more economic not to work than to contribute to society.

It was a complete and utter mess. I will post an update with the key points of each chapter.

Rascal have you a copy?

I have read it, as an autobiography it is plainly written by somebody with far greater writing ability than him, possibly Daniel Finkelstein. There are words in the book there is no way he understands.

I almost felt sorry for him, a man born to expect success ending up a pathetic loser who will be forever remembered as the worst PM of his generation is not the epitaph he would have liked Mr Finkelstein to have wrote, but it is the truth.

To be honest it is a waste of paper, one of the worst political books of this century, he comes across as immature, lacking in foresight and lacking in basic empathy, whether that is Mr Finkelsteins writing or his diction I am not certain but I imagine it will be available on Amazon for less than a pound very soon and even at that price it is a lot to pay for such a mediocre story of a wasted life of privilege and nepotism.

I awarded the book 1/10 and the 1 was because he spelt David right.

I disagree, the current chump is the worst PM, not just of his generation but of the history of our great country.

I honestly don’t know one regular bloke who votes labour. Literally not one.

This place is full of them for some bizarre reason.

It amazes me that 20 to 23 percent of people vote them. Some will be people like my dad who will vote labour even if a pig ran them. A few percent of them will be militant scousers like Derek Hatton. A fair number of puplic sector workers I guess and then the London luvvies. And a majority of 16-24 year olds who have been brainwashed through teachers. I would hazard a guess that in my industry less than 10 percent would vote labour. Probably even less than that.

Most labour supporters still incorrectly believe that labour represent the working man. They absolutely do not.

people stick with their own.
Tory twats probably prefer the company of other Tory twats.
The only Tory I know is my brother and he’s a twat.

You have an industry?

The figure of speech my industry is a perfectly acceptable figure of speech. I am in construction as you are well aware. Those Tory twats you refer to currently outnumber labour supporters virtually 2 to 1 so there is a lot of them. As you were. Congratulations to your brother.
 


Don't worry another Labour Party are bastards story is on the way to cover for Boris.

I don’t believe any of them to be honest, but like with all politicians you take them at face value.

He seems to have combed his hair today so may be it’s a truth day? I don’t know.

He may huff and puff but he is a lot more charismatic than may or Corbyn.

I have never voted Tory and many moons ago was a member of the Labour Party but unfortunately labour have swung to the left and the Tories to the right and I am a confused centrist looking for somewhere to put my cross so will listen to them all.

At the moment Corbyn is saying he will close my sons school, tax me a lot more and may be take my house or part of my garden away. I hope he is lying but I think he may be telling the truth on those so he won’t get my cross.

You cannot surely not know many Labour supporters, spending so much time in a Labour voting area.
