[Politics] Are the Tories committing political suicide?

[Blackadder]

Germans...?

You have 6 million Turks there keeping you economy going.


Let's be brutally honest here....your beloved Germans are only marginally better than the Nazi scum of two generations ago.....just in a more 'immigrant friendly form'.

What?

 

[Blackadder]

Trouble is what is the alternative?

Corbyn would be a disaster.

What happens come budget day when Comrade McDonnell has to choose between NHS or university funding?

Maybe, Maybe not. At least we can vote him out 5 years later.

The 35 Brexit zealots will just want to ruin the economy, with no comeback, for their own selfish political reasons.

You say this, but how come Germany has free education and a fantastic and well funded health system? If the Germans can do it there’s no reason why Britain can’t.

A higher overall tax bill?

1 self avowed Marxist ruining the economy for political reason is so much better.

 

[wellquickwoody]

Don't worry the Daily Mail and The Sun will print front pages accusing Corbyn and Co of being terrorist SYMPATHISERS and the Tories will ROMP to a landslide victory with over a 100 seat majority .......oh wait they tried that last year and it FAILED , maybe they will print front pages accusing Corbyn of being a SOVIET spy this time

The truth hurts huh?

I admit that I am not convinced about Corbyn myself but it seems to be the only reason why we should keep the tories in.

One reason why there was such an upsurge in the Labour vote at the last election was that Corbyn said he would abolish all tuition fees. This caused the young, who don't normally bother to vote, to turn out in droves and back Corbyn. They were delighted to be offered free education. However, when Corbyn was challenged about his offer, he had to admit that Labour had not done any costings and had to admit that they would not be able to afford what they had promised. We shall have to wait and see how the young vote next time when the carrot has been withdrawn

None of that is true. The abolition of tuition fees is still part of Labour policy.

 

[Wardy's twin]

I find it curious that it was Labour who introduced Uni fees and there was no outcry then that I recall

Yes there was

 

[ManOfSussex]

50 posts in on a thread about The Tories and still nobody's actually got anything positive to say about The Tories themselves.

 

[neilbard]

It has been covered before but, who sold off all the Council Houses, Gas, water and Electricity, Nuclear power, Telephones, British Rail, Coal, Steel ? You can only sell them once.

Fair enough but who opened Pandora's box and introduced tuition fees?

That post is straight out of the Donald Trump fake news handbook.

Not in 1 hit like he was promising though is it. It's going to be phased so could be many years away

 

[portslade seagull]

LIES. Why are you lieing? If you go off and find the facts they show something different.
Stop trying to manipulate the next generation into the same idiotic mistakes the older ones made.

Like voting Blair in you mean which bankrupted the country with the spend spend spend approach on the never never. It's people like me and you still paying those excesses off

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

Possiblly the shittest post of the day, well played.

You mean shittest post ever.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Without doubt, much more personally. But, stuff works so I’m happy to pay it.

The policy remains the same as before the election. What's changed?

Blair? Give your head a wobble....

Assuming that there is more than one party to vote for by then of course.

Anyway, getting back to the OP. I hope so
