The Conservative Party

Haha! Still waiting on you taking up that bet you spineless ****! :-)

Joking aside, I still think they have more than a fighting chance to win.

I remember ‘97 and the sense that Labour were going to win the election rather than the Tories lose it. This feels much more like the Tories need to lose it - I don’t get the sense the country / electorate has bought into Starmer.

I’ve a terrible, nagging feeling that it somehow won’t go the way lots are currently predicting. And we’ll have at least 5 more years of this shit.

Cobblers. Other countries were selling gold too.

And, as pointed put previously, "Between 1970-71 the Bank of England sold nearly half of our gold reserves. Just like the Brown sell-off, it was sold at a historic low of about $42.5/oz in October 1971. Only a year later it was worth $65/oz. This was done under the Tories and Edward Heath and had to be a much larger sale and loss as by the time Brown got to it half had already been sold so in effect Brown only sold a quarter of what was originally held in reserve with the Conservative Heath government selling off half."

It wasnt a dig politically, i dont care. Just that brown shouldnt have sold at that time. Thats it really .

Did you have a house and you sold it? is that house now years later worth a shit load more? You shouldn't have sold it....

Funny you say that. I bought a house once at the very top of the market, it didnt concern me as i thought id be in it forever so over the years it wouldnt matter, it would still rise in value. I had £125k equity in it.

Fast forward 2 years, the market had crashed and i got divorced and i had to sell the house, came out with £2k.

So unless i had to i wouldnt have sold that house at the bottom of the market.true story

Hilts, can I just confirm that you have always been a Green voter or has this been a change since the fall of the other parties?

I like some of the Green policies but there is no way that they will be able to enact them so see them as a small influencer, nothing more.

The environment for me is the issue of our times, there is only one party taking it seriously enough. I also think we need political change and the 2 main parties are far too cuntish to do the right thing. Not sure how anyhow votes for them tbh.

 

[hilts]

Are you not somewhat pleased that the tories are being humbled?

As always with politics you won't ever get exactly what you want but you must recognise a step in the right direction.

I'm not pleased because it's been plainly obvious they're on the way out for some time. It's just a shame the new lot are so underwhelming.

I always used to vote Green in Euro elections, they usually did well.
