No, I'm voting for the only party which has a realistic chance of getting a majority government and can boot out the ******* socialists because of what they've done over the past 13 years to:
- The Economic Market
- Taxes
- Social Decline
- Taxes
- Dodgy Dossiers (WMDs to all)
- Taxes
- Unemployment
- Taxes
- Manufacturing and Production
- Taxes
- "Single tier society" - Instead of nice places and shoddy places, we all now live in a shithole.
- Taxes
- Fuel costs
- Taxes
- Penalties on honest people who want to work
- Taxes
- Leftism
- Taxes
- Immigration
And the rest when I can think of them. You apparently want to call Cameroon a cnut because he speaks with a bit of a posh accent.
Or let me guess... "If we can get Rage against the Machine to Number 1 we can get the Lib Dems into office" Facebook campaign member...
Neither. Blair, Mandleson and a lot of Labour characters have posh accents, that's got **** all to do with it.
Economy: I've said this once and I'll say it again, no one has a right to complain about the economy ******* up because for most of the Labour government we've been living it large in a massive boom. If you're going to subscribe to the free market, which we pretty much all do in Britain today, we all have to accept the consequences. Our market is far more deregulated than others in Europe, hence we've suffered more, and if you remember we benefitted much more a few years ago. The fact that there was a
global depression leads me to believe that the fault does not lie solely on the shoulders of one man from a country that is fairly insignificant next to the world's biggest economies.
Taxes: Well, taxation and NI are increasing atm to pay for the bankers. If Cameron gets in charge, he'll have to fund any tax reductions with budget cuts, which means that you'll start moaning that your kids' school is ****, your local hospital is ****, your roads are ****. Moan all you like about taxes, they pay for the luxuries we take for granted. And if we have a look about the biggest achievement of the Labour government, the NHS, and you'll see your taxes aren't wasted.
My 3 local hospitals are West Middlesex, Charing Cross, and Hammersmith. The first two I went to a fair amount when I was a kid, and they were ******* horrible. Dirty, disgusting places with incredibly long waiting times. Now? I've worked in Hammersmith Hospital, and it is a clean, modern hospital with great facilities. I've been for treatment in Charing Cross and can say the same thing. And I picked my Dad up from West Middlesex last week, and he was looked after great there, which is another modern and clean hospital. Maybe the rest of the country's different, but we've got world class healthcare as far as I'm concerned.
Social Decline: Where? The only social decline I can see is in things like WAGs, Simon Cowell and Jodie Marsh. That's a massive decline in popular culture, and it's been largely enacted by the tabloid media, who happen to be mainly rightwing. Chavs - blown out of proportion, they're ridiculed when they're bad and idolised by the same tabloids when they're good at things like football and singing. Gun crime/ stabbings - affect a minority of teenagers in London and Manchester. Crime on the whole has gone down.
Dodgy Dossiers - Fair enough, I didn't want to go to war in Iraq one bit and this was appalling. But the Lib Dems were the only mainstream party not to support the war.
Unemployment: See economy.
Fuel Costs: Have been rising since the 70s. Have rocketed recently because of the economy.
Manufacturing and Production: Tell me about it. My uncle runs a car factory in the West Midlands and its one of the last ones left, he;'s had to make them specialise just to keep afloat, and that was even before the depression. But the loss of manufacturing industries is because labour and costs are cheaper in the 3rd world. If we want to go back to Dickensian times and employ 000s of people for 10p per day, then go ahead, I just don't think it's going to be popular. The only way we can compete nowadas is employing a workforce of illegal immigrants because they aren't subject to the minimum wage, but seeing as you don't like immigrants...
Immigration: What do people fear from immigration? If you can't get a job and someone who doesn't even speak English as their first langugae can, then bad luck, that's your problem. Get some more skills, or don't ask for so much money. Hardly anyone in London complains about immigration. And funnily enough, it's here that immigration has affected most. The sort of people who complain live in mainly white working class areas and use immigrants as a target to blame their own ineptitudes on.
Penalties on decent working people: what penalties? Straight out of the Daily Mail. Like pretty much all your opinions. If you don't read the Daily Mail, say now, otherwise my case is rested and there's no use having any further debate.
