If the NHS is closing Hospitals there will be clinical reasons, medical equipment is expensive you need highly skilled staff I know of a hospital that is potentially losing it's maternity unit the locals will complain but the reasoning is that there isn't the staff or the equipment to cope with poorly babies. People are stupid, all of us are selfish we will complain if a local amenity is lost even if it is being removed to allow a better replacement further away.

Why on earth would you vote Tory?
THEY. ARE. THE. SAME. PARTY.
Please explain how.
They all believe in global warming, none of them want to put any restriction on immigration and they all want to carry on paying 144 million pounds a day to the EU. Any other differences are entirely irrelevant since they have no bearing on anything.
So you're not interested in taxation? The Police? The NHS?

Funny that you should pin your interests in marginal things that don't really have such a day-to-day affect and completely ignore the things that do.
How do you think 144 million pounds down the drain doesn't affect anything else? The NHS closing down hospitals, I feel, would benefit from extra funding, as would the Police. Of course, this would also affect taxation.
Once global warming has been unearthed as a farce, they won't be able to wander around the world on taxpayer funds promising billions of quid to "underdeveloped" countries (Which often have far less national debt that us anyway)
I don't think it's funny that I pin my interests on those issues at all, given that they have such an enormous effect on the economy.
Not to sound too much like The Sun, but there are a lot of immigrants sitting around claiming benefits. Granted, there are a lot of Brits doing the same, but the strain on the system would be less had there not been such uncontrolled immigration. I don't know the figures but I would imagine that that is a fair cost to the taxpayer. All the issues I brought up are directly related to those that you did, because the ones that I brought up are such an enormous drain on funds that they are being pulled away from the FAR more important things that you mentioned.

BTW, 10PS appears to be one of these communitarian types. You are wasting your breath. wink

Edited for accuracy. Fig is contribution, not considering rebates.

No st!? That was something I gleaned off the UKIP website a couple of years ago and it has just stuck with me.
That's even more appalling though.
They are closing the hospitals because they don't have enough money to run them, not for any other reasons.

Unfortunately there is no suitable candidate on the ballot. I want a true blue Thatcheresque Tory with substance and backbone who will usher in an era of genuine change, as the great Magwold did in 79. Cameron is a piss poor imitation of Blair and as far from what I want as any chameleon masquerading as a Tory could be.

Fortunately my next choice of leader will not involve any of the halfwits available.

Sadly, I agree. I want to vote for a libertarian who will cut the st with a machette and not care, to get the country back on it's feet pronto.

This isn't Call me Dave and I'm inclined to think of him as a wasted vote. (which goes against the rightthink of a vote for anyone but is a vote for BLAIR!

Blair lite or Millband? there is your real choice. yes

Not just a one trick pony either, by the looks of it.

Proper old school Tory, and a lot of Tories have defected to them.

Personally the hard decisions that need to be made to get the country back into gear need to come quickly and hard. That's my only chance of getting a job.

It could be argued that a vote for the Cameroons is a vote for much of the same. In any case Farage is standing in Buckingham against that slimey socialist (Conservative in name only) Bercow, currently stinking out the position of speaker of the house - no conservative (even of Cameroon stripe) standing.

Winky the is going to ask for a 'full second term'. What a . He was never voted in for a 'first term'. The . Implies that he had only part of a term. Well, he fked that up, so let's give him a another term, but make it a full one ths time, hey? What a ! And I thought we voted for local MPs or at the most parties, under the UK system. So who is he to ask for a term anyway? Does he think is is some kind of president? it. Tick tock, Winky.

Nope. We haven't had the rioting. Can't have a winter of discontent without some rioting.

Besides: it will be next winter. Dave will get in. Make the difficult choices. And the fickle feckless feckwits will have a nice riot complaining that that taxes have risen, inflation has made stuff more expensive and there's been no payrise. In the private sector people will knuckle down, grin and bear it glad that they have a job. In the public sector there will be the professions that will do the same but the others? They will be wondering why they aren't as well off as before and are very, very likely to kick off about it.

Then there's the people on benefits. They will certainly kick off.

So it's all coming. yes

Lab or Cons, the same 'tough decisions' will still have to be made (like they have any choice) so it matters little. Brussels is in charge now anyway so we'll get reamed from abroad now

We (the family) emigrate to the USA next month. Been our dream for a decade.
However, can`t help being frustrated as hell that just as the Socialists/Fascists are about to be booted out in Blighty, we are heading into a lefty utopia. Yeah I know, its our own fault. I feel a libertarian revolution is on the cards in the US, just hope it doesnt take too long...gulp

Everyone can be down on their luck and end up out of a job. It could happen to me easily enough. That's what "the dole" is for - to help you out when you are in between jobs - and there's no shame in taking your due as an ex-taxpayer.


My comment was about the minority that belong to the benefits sub-culture, not those in-between employment and I genuinely hope you were not offended as it was not aimed at you. If you were I sincerely apologise.

Like I already said, so is a vote for the Conservatives, so I might as well vote for someone who I actually want to get in. You should do it too, it's called Democracy.
