Strange one that, awaits advertisement, " What's going on ? I mean have you been paying national insurance, you may be able to make a claim " !
I have fifty years of contributions, must be in line for a hefty refund !
Interesting you should say that, a lot of right wingers who started out on the left say they moved rightwards in revulsion at the sheer stupidity of the great unwashed. Frustrated by a lumpenproletariat too imbecilic to understand where their class interests lie. Many of these lost souls are now tories, some stay out of the party disgusted at its ideological flabbiness, but all agree that the tories, inept as they are, know where their class interests lie.
There's no denying, crap as the tory bastards are they're good at that.
Great post. Unfortunately you could post that every week but certain people would never listen.I would count myself as working class from a staunch working class family & area & would virtually vote for anyone rather than Labour , a vile detestable bunch of cretins whose ex leader Blair should be in jail....at the very least.
We were having a similar conversation last night I don't think you being to hard I think you are spot onMy Dad died 3 years ago, he had started suffering bad health and I was relieved (but sad) when he deteriorated quickly and died. My Mum is 83 and fortunately in good health, her friend is 87, she has recently gone blind and she has a bad hip amongst other ailments. The NHS want to operate and give her a new hip. Her husband is also 87, 10 years ago he had a quadruple by pass but now his right ventricule (sp) is fucked and he can barley walk. His kidneys are failing and he has other issues, the doctors are looking to see what they can do about his heart, meanwhile he has to inject himself daily for his kidney problem.
There comes a time when people die but as a human race and certainly in this country, we dont seem to accept that. We artifically keep people alive but with what quality of life ? You may think I am too hard and uncaring, I am not. I would rather someone live a full life and then die. We cannot keep prolonging life purley because we medically can. The NHS cant cope nor can social services but I only mention that as it is pertinent to the thread. The wider picture is that there comes a time when people are not living, merely exisiting and I find that very sad.

Obviously you've fallen out of love with Labour, but do you have to soil yourself?I have never voted Tory but I am definitely voting Tory next time. It's not just Corbyn, it's all of them. They are clueless ideological pricks. For every Corbyn I will raise you a thornbury or abbot. Owen smith who emerged as the main challenger is even worse.
How can anyone think this lot can run a country. They are hopeless. It's actually not just that they are hopeless , when you see them on daily politics or question time they are also thick. They live in a different world to me.
They never caught Braveheart on the telly then? ;)
