General Election - 4th July 2024

[Rammy Blue]

That is the only reason at the moment tbh.

Fair enough, lol. Looks like my brief foray into politics has concluded and I’ll stick to knowing they are all cunts and not voting. Cheers.

No mate, I’m obviously well aware of that having never voted before, I just see lots saying Labour should be in but just wonder what makes people think they should be in power other than it not being the tories.

Maybe 14 years of an absolute shitshow would make people want for change?

I think he covered that with the not being Tories part in fairness

> Replace border force agents with GP receptionists. That way nobody will ever get in.
> As well as cars doing an MOT to make sure they’re roadworthy, roads will be forced to do an ROT to make sure they’re carworthy.
> Anybody using a self-service checkout gets a 10% discount for doing some of the work themselves.

And more!

I really like her. She’s brave and has made the most of herself. I think she’s funny too. She’s not hugely bright, but neither was Truss. Difference is Rayner knows her limits. I hugely respect her.

Thought the sight of a Winchester educated **** who stole off the country in 2008 who has an Eton educated Foreign Secretary, a Lord, who conned the taxpayer out of tens of thousands to both pay for the upkeep up some wisteria at the front of his Oxfordshire constituency home, and to build his wanking shed in his back garden, pontificating like that, truly appalling.

Attacking a working class girl like that because she might have misdirected a couple of grand was absolutely reprehensible.

Fucking rat faced ****.

Afuckingmen to that

Absolute ****’s trick.

Genuinely, I hate politics, they are all cunts who just have their snout in the trough.

I prefer to live life in my own bubble, what I do won’t change the world, and I just deal with life on a day to day basis and do what’s best for me and my family. Accept my taxation etc.

I find it hard to see anything in any of the parties or leaders that I like, we chatted last night about politics in our house with my missus, son and his partner, and I just wouldn’t have a fucking clue what anyone really stands for.

Obviously the tories need to be out, they’ve had a fair crack and fucked it up, but what do Labour really stand for? I can’t help but look at Starmer and think he’s a clown, so what should make me walk over my road in a few weeks and stick a cross in the box for them?

Genuine question.

Should add I’m 53 and never voted in my life.

It's yer classic 'lesser of two evils'/ full or half a bowl of shit' arguments.

Or you're a secret Trumper or some stupid mathematics...

There’s nothing secret about his trumps.

I’m not sure that using Liz Truss as your benchmark is an especially good idea or particularly instructive. Personally I think that Rayner is absolutely dreadful, but that’s just my opinion.

I also don’t think that someone’s perceived class or background is of any relevance as to whether they may have ‘misdirected a couple of grand’ as you put it. Constantly banging on about what school people went to serves little purpose and personally I just prefer to take people as I find them.

Finally I assume that your suggestion that Sunak ‘stole off the country’ in 2008 refers to his time at TCI? An abject failure of regulation around RBS, encouraged by the light/limited touch approach of the Labour government of the day, is the reason why RBS went bust. TCI’s involvement was of no relevance, Sunak’s even less.

Lol. Got to be @Brewster's millions surely. He loves being up against the 'tyranny of the majority' ;-)

I actually haven’t participated in the poll yet, so there really is a silent Tory effect at play.
