General Election - 4th July 2024

[Gorton_Tubster]

Totally Labour's doing, they introduced the Unit of Dental Activity in 2006 which killed off NHS dentistry making it unworkable, forcing many dentists to go private.

Thanks for that. It made me go out and find more info and it seems to have been a general decline since 1990 (I certainly remember suddenly finding it difficult to get NHS dentist treatment around the 90s) but yeah that UDA really screwed us even more.

Have her and Nicola Sturgeon ever been seen together at the same time? No thought not.

Yes me. Though I had been eating cheese before I went to bed. :(

I’ve no idea who to vote for. I will have the choice of:
—The sitting Tory MP, right wing looney.
—A labour candidate representing Tory lite, ie Starmer‘s Labour Party.
—A Lib Dem who cannot explain what his party stands for.
—Various ne’er do wells out for a bit of electoral fun.
God help us all.

Tory ****
Purple Tory ****
Tory Enabling ****
Racist RW ****
Racist LW ****
Monster Raving Loony ****

I understand your dilemma.

Surely they're going to get annihilated? This has to be the worst government in my living memory and I've been around a few years. Almost everybody in the country is poorer and nothing works. Transport is a shambles, fuel bills are through the roof, as are food bills. Sewage is pouring into the water system and people can't drink the water in many parts of the country. If they were elected to turn the country into a depressing shit hole they've done a great job, but they weren't. They're like some sort of criminal cartel lining their own and their mates pockets and gaslighting the country.

I don't have much faith in the other political parties, which is bloody depressing , but nothing could be worse than this lot, nothing. Fourteen years of utter misery.

The country is in an absolute shit state, no doubt about it. Public services are virtually overwhelmed and the privatised utilities are only arsed about profit margins thanks to that c*#t Thatcher. These Tories are only interested in their own gain and don't give a rats arse about the people they should be serving. Go back over the last five years or so and look at their antics. It's staggering and repulsive what they've been up to with a lot of it largely forgotten.

 

[Postman Pep]

I wonder who will be gone first?

Can the waistcoated one stay in the race till election day .... or will we face someone decent in the quarters?

I've been totally perplexed and baffled as to why the criminal justice system haven't prosecuted most of them. It just proves there is one rule for them and one rule for us. As always it's the poorest that suffer.

If the Tories are going to go down in flames, they picked an apropos date when viewed from this side of the pond!

 

[Giovinco]

Just no party that’s desirable to vote for unfortunately

 

[COAT_OF_ARMS]

Thats Southgate for you, what about the election?

Think the Tories have picked him as their candidate for the Redcar constituency ;)

Seems like a pretty easy choice.

 

[Vienna_70]

As did Callaghan which led to………….

Not quite.

The Liberal Party called time on the Lib-Lab pact, and ganged up with the Tories to call a vote of no confidence, which the government lost, thereby forcing Callaghan to call an election.

 

[bluethrunthru]

I'd have loved to see Andersons face when he realised

He was having to face his stop fast approaching on the gravy train

also every time his phone rings and its the GBN number - probably not answering as he faces losing £100k pa from them too

Didn’t he pass up the opportunity before the shambles that was the ‘winter of discontent?’

 

[bluemoon32]

Starmer bores me to death but he isn't quite a fucking Tory so he'll have to do for me

 

[Vienna_70]

Didn’t he pass up the opportunity before the shambles that was the ‘winter of discontent?’

Now you’re asking.

I’m not sure

I turned 14 in September '78, so I’m a bit hazy on that. I had other things on my mind then, and probably didn’t follow politics as closely as I do now.

 

[Bluesince1979]

I am so disengaged with politics and politicians i dont know what to do.

Ive never seen a bigger bunch of weirdo’s and odd balls in parliament. They are ALL a very strange breed

I mean , i know what i wont be doing, but then i look labour and wonder if i they are worth a vote, or are they just another bunch of weirdo’s.
Then you have the lib dems, like a collection of wet farts.
Swing to the tight to Reclaim? Nope. And the greens are the biggest freaks of the lot.

I honestly dont think there is currently a party that represents me. I hate the way ALL politicians speak and act.

So come election day, im fooked if i know

 

[Vienna_70]

If fanbases were anything to go by, The Monster Raving Loony Party would win every seat in Liverpool by a landslide.

When an individual like Boris Johnson becomes the leader of the country you know how dire things are. That guy is beyond description.

You absolutely shouldn't bother voting. Either stay away or draw a cock on the ballot paper l.
