The Post General Election Thread

Don't you think though that experience of life should count?

Even my boss, a Conservative voter of many years, was incredulous this morning at this news and pretty much said the same thing even though it was a Labour MP that lost their seat.

Even now, nearly 24 hours later, I'm struggling to see how a 20 year old has got into power.

Blind Jingoism...

You can call it what you want but it's still a joke.

Wow! I admire the principal but folk don't generally think that way.




Any chance of you lending me a few quid? ;-)

I would if I had quids to lend :) I'm a poor man, hence my like of fairness and Marx. I could definitely earn more, but it wouldn't make me happy and I have no desire to anyway. What a twat I am :)

As long as you are happy that's all that counts

Peace brother.

I can't remember what happy was.. but I know money was never it.

Doing a good job for less than the client was expecting, i guess that gives me buzz. What a dope.

I wasn't complimenting them. Far from it...

To be fair the mood they are in they would have elected a haggis in a kilt and a yellow rosette it's now a one party place which brings its own dangers especially when utopia fails to arrive or when the bills come in

In that case... Sorry.
It's late and I'm going to bed.

Watching from afar ....... I dislike politics and never usually argue about it...I have enough on my plate following City and pressing F5 during the transfer windows but a question ...

Now the toffs have another 5 years does this mean more cuts to services for the poor and council jobs ?

No one knows there was a 12 billion shortfall in their calculations and they reused to say where the money was coming from, since they have pledged to not raise tax one can only presume they will savage civic society and it will be to a degree never seen before, unless they were telling untruths

1. They are not 'toffs'.
2. There is no fucking money. If you suddenly lose your job, do you continue to shop at Waitrose? No you do fucking not you go to Lidl. So yes there will be cuts which is bad news if you are a benefit scrounger but people who genuinely need help, like disability benefit, will still be helped.

One may ask why after 5 years of a mainly Tory Government which apparently is economically rational and creates businesses and jobs then why this is so.
