The Conservative Party

[Don Karleone]

I remember Labour getting into power in 1996/7 anbd the feeling it gave the country after years of tory twattery. I am hoping for the same.

Don't get your hopes up.

Todays the day that you will lose your rights to sickness benefits and have to attend Work Capability Assessments as the Conservative war on the weakest in society continues unabated.

and so we get there - destination X - a place where a qualified GP will no longer be the one to diagnose you and sign you off sick it will be someone at the local benefits office who will decide whether you qualify as sick ............ fucking mad posturing

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

Don't get your hopes up.

Its not hope, its a belief. I dont even think Starmer is up to it, but I do believe his rigid sticking to common decency will be a breath of fresh air that hopefully even the RW media cant piss all over.

I am not some tory twat.. But there is a problem with people taking the piss on sickies. There's genuine ones too, but the people taking the piss are the real problem, they spoil it for everyone else. We lose privileges because people take the piss (Certainly true in my current job). Not saying this is the right way to go about it, but its a result of piss takers.

I'd pay good money to see someone chin the ****.

In a nutshell, highly qualified doctors will now be prohibited from determining an individuals ability to work. Instead, the remit will be handed to a bureaucrat who doesn't know their arse from their elbow.

Just fuck off to the states already you loathsome twat. Go and take up your cushy consultancy role and don't come back.

On the subject of mental health, Sunak needs to get himself checked out as this is obviously a completely nuts idea.

A "war on benefits" might be a headline grabber for a couple of days try and win over some of the right wingers who are leaving for Reform but it's not going to win him an election, so it's completely pointless.

More waffle than a Birds Eye factory this bloke.

He's just digging himself deeper and deeper into a hole and losing more and more of the centre ground needed to win an election with mental shit like this, it's actually really funny to watch.

Some lobbyist/SPAD will have come up with this idea and he's too shit a politician to realise how stupid it is.

All that needs to happen is that Labour voters who fist pump for a hobby get behind him, but when he gets in it wont last long because it wont be the RW press attacking him it's his own bloody members he needs to watch out for.

He's done a remarkable job in a short space of time to cut most of the nutters out. Starmer is very astute and has played a blinder for the most part so far.
