General Election - December 12th, 2019

You can't compare the Tories and Labour on this?

I can and just did.

I will also throw the Lib Dems and SNP into the mix as well.

 

[Metal Biker]

You can't compare the Tories and Labour on this? Labour have released and campaigned on loads of policies. The only Tory policies I know are 456 new hospitals and a 9.6billion quid a year income tax cuts for those on 50-80k a year.

And many of those polices are £25 billion for this, £30 billion for that!

Where is this money coming from?

It's all costed in the manifesto. Released next week I believe.

Flash forward to Labour "costed" manifesto"

"we gets the reech to pay for dis!"

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

Be reasonable, Farage has got his Bentley to pay for.

He claims that on expenses from the EU!

I think they’re both wankers so allow me to interject.

The Tory favoured media and the Tories themselves absolutely slammed Labour for suggesting - investing in 20,000+ more police officers, the largest spending increase in the history of the NHS, building hundreds of thousands of new housing, investing in education, raising the minimum wage to £10 an hour, all during the last election in 2017.

They’re now promising all of the above themselves.

If anyone on here thinks any of them are worth you getting out of bed to go to put a cross next to on the 12th December, give up.

Stay in, have a pot noodle and wank.

I was talking generally and about ALL candidates for all parties.

Between £30-£40k they estimate on a campaign.

Apparently, Tories who won in marginal seats spent over £120k. It goes a long way to explaining why we generally get candidates who all look and sound the same. I’m not sure what you do about it but it can’t encourage anyone vaguely normal or of normal means to stand.

Doesn't this not just show that Labour have lost sanity and the Tories can quite easily tear them apart? This is despite question marks over Tory costings but no-one cares about that because of the big fat elephant in the room which are Labour's spending plans.

If people believed that £500bn could be spent on the economy then Labour would be streets ahead in the polls but they are miles off.

So why don't they give up the bribery carousel and start being realistic and honest with people?

That explains where I’ve been going wrong as I’ve always made it with hot water........

Tbf at least labour can be arsed to cost their manifesto

It shows they both are surely?

The Tories are copying the spending plans they called insane 30 months ago.

The whole thing stinks.

 

[bluethrunthru]

Of course. All the above goes without saying, but at the end of the day if it's not "good" for us overall - better than WTO terms - then we wouldn't sign up for it, would we.

and if we don't sign where does that leave us? worse off than now for sure.

 

[mcfc1632]

That is a very tough question.

I guess a hung Parliament is the best we can hope for but the chances are we're still fucked.

Gotta admit things don't look good.

Big change in confidence from a few months ago

I'm not about to wank into my Pot Noodle.

I doubt the Chicken and Mushroom will taste very good. I'll just add a Chicken OXO if it's all the same with you! *boa throw*

Not very well. They have unicorns managing their books it seems.

 

[the plasterer]

As I know fuck all about politics, who’s looking likely to win??, ahead in polls etc etc, genuine question

£500 Billion was spent on bailing out the banks why not the economy?

 

[mcfc1632]

Is it true the Tories are not going to release their manifesto until two weeks before Dec 12th? If so it just proves that they’ve learnt nothing from the last campaign and they’re still so arrogant that they believe they can fool the public. They’re in big, big trouble.

A Fleetwood Mac song comes to mind

Tories will win the most seats. The only debate is whether they can get a majority and form a government. If not it will allow the remain parties to form an alliance if they can get their fingers out and work together.
