Been a Tory voter all my life...

One day someone will find something you say interesting or whitty. Dunno when, but itll happen. Keep trying hun x

 

I'm struggling to understand what that has got to do with anything?

 

Utterly hilarious. The kind of thing that only one of Corbyn's Branch Davidians could say with a straight face.

 

No need to respond, the great British public would probably step in long before 'the USA' ever felt the need to do so.

Indeed 'the USA' is probably savvy enough to know that five years of Corbyn and his fellow cranks (if he actually got that far) would be more than enough for most in this country, and guarantee a right wing government for the next quarter century. Bring it on I say.

 

Are you sexually incapable? I’m getting that vibe.

 

You're getting a sexual vibe from this thread? You Corbynites are more broken than I thought........

 

I was brought up in Carlton and now live in Ward Green.

 

I ain't the mans a ****

 

I agree with you, Tory politicians really couldn’t give a **** about you but then again neither do labour ones.
Tories are like are like fraudsters that openly flaunt the fact that they’re doing you over right in your face
Labour are like a paedophilic uncle that sneaks in when mum and dad are out.
Anyone with any blind allegiance to these treacherous bleeders blow my tiny mind. They’re the political equivalent of a peter risdale cloning machine.

 

Blinded by hatred? Of who? I disagree with fiscal conservatives, but some of my closest friends are fully signed up members of the Milton Friedman fan club. I certainly disagree with social conservatives but there's plenty of them in my family that I love, and in the Labour party.

"Being best friends" though. This is the fundamental problem. You've taken some sources that don't even prove your original point let alone any connection beyond that. And without getting in to the vagaries and complexities of middle east or northern ireland politics, or how you bring about the end to conflict, I would suggest that the impact on your life pales in comparison with the closure of your closest Sure Start centre.

 

Has a single person, ever, on this board said they've voted for any political party because their dad voted for them?

 

Labour voters are donkeys? and people who live in goldthorpe have no life?

Wow. We all now down to your sense of entitlement

 

Conveniently, they're a little different from the claims you made about him.

 

I really don't believe this is true mate. I think some Conservatives genuinely don't care about communities like ours. Some do but believe so strongly that the market is ultimately the answer that they shouldn't intervene. Others on the very centre of the party believe the pain caused in not intervening is so great and have argued the case. Personally I think all those approaches are wrong but I don't think they all don't care.

I certainly don't think its fair to say New Labour didn't care. They inherited public infrastructure and services on their knees and fixed it. I think they could and should have done more, and were wrong to believe as much as they did in the market and third sector solutions but they weren't pretending to care.

You certainly can't argue that the current Labour leadership and policies don't care about communities like ours. They would be transformative. But whether they can get elected with those policies is a different matter. They certainly won't if people in those communities are more concerned with whether Jeremy Corbyn once met Hamas.

I'm suggesting that not all Tories are cnuts.

Are you suggesting they are?

If so, I'm going to tell my mother what you think of her.

 

Swim with the fishes and all that. I think it’s fair to say that the conservative capitalism ideology is one that benefits fewer members of society than socialist liberalism. Wouldn’t you agree?

 

I probably would.

Nevertheless I still don't consider my mother to be a "lovely person"

 

The trouble is that a large proportion of people in these communities have one single interest in politics at the moment, and that is making sure we still leave the eu.

So if there is a general election before that happens, which is looking increasingly likely, they will vote for Nigel’s Nazis or possibly for whatever Boris says he’ll do. Labour will lose previously safe seats in my view - I live in Doncaster North, Ed Milliband’s seat. I could never see the Tories winning here but put Brexit on the ballot and he’d struggle big time.

 

Goodness. A lot of bile on here which may well destroy relationships between posters who ultimately share the same love -BFC. That’s unfortunate. Nothing wrong with political discourse but we’re better than the way in which some of it has been expressed on here. I’ve put things in an unfortunate way in the past (drink, anger and being irritated because people just can’t seem to see that i’m right all the time) but I think people have forgiven me .....in time.......
