YoungWillz 21,066 Posted May 31 I've just seen Ed Davey in a chef's hat making a cake. I think the truth is out. He's not really running a campaign, he's having a staycation! But I do note he's probably the only one talking about what directly impacts on voters. Can't forget coalition though. So he's onto a winner, Tory voters can vote for him, because they got the Tories with him in 2010! I say enjoy your summer holidays Ed! Then once the election is over, enjoy your summer holidays Ed!

maryportfuncity 10,657 Posted June 1 So, Tory fortunes aren't exactly improving - the two conspicuous die hard papers are't exactly accross the main election news. Meanwhile, is Boris betting on a job with Trump if he still wins? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungWillz 21,066 Posted June 1 Boo-ed in Bury. Sunak hands out ice creams to the Tory journos. Bypassing some kids who were present. He promises Harry Cole ice cream, he promises those kids National Service. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, bloody awful Prime Minister. I really hope to Christ the stupid bimbo is thrown out on her arse on July 4th. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sod electable policies and high moral standards, BoJo and Truss are happy to join Trump in his race to the bottom. They deserve each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's not talked about so much, but he really is the cunt's cunt. His reaction to some child refugees being brought to safety here was to claim that "British hospitality is being abused".

ladyfiona 2,594 Posted June 1 The reception team I work with are mostly pro Tory voters and my team leader is very right wing Daily Mail reader. She knows I am "woke" and that I roll my eyes at what she says about immigrants, trans rights etc etc. As a manager she is very good at her job, but that's all I can praise her for. She is proud of being "old school". At the hospital I work at we fly the LGBT+ flag every year and she's even triggered by that. Oh and she doesn't agree with anything transgender and deadnames every *trans person who comes in for treatment (we can see their legal name on our system). I book a trans woman in for a blood test for example and she goes "why you putting them as a woman, they are a man." Yesterday she was having a "discussion" at reception with a Gynaecology nurse about why we (NHS) offers IVF to same sex couples. Doesn't think ADHD is a thing and it wasn't like that in "our day" (when I mentioned my friend has ADHD), bisexual people need to make their mind up (i'm bisexual but you can understand why I don't talk to her about it). I could write a whole book about her opinions. 1 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do they not recognise that the reason they're rushed off their feet and everything is going to shit is because of who's in government?
