Off Topic General Election

Absolute bullshit.
Crossrail and HS2 are costing us 48 times what was the annual subsidy paid to british rail in its last year.

 

Exactly Jock like I say that it remains to be seen and a lot of ill feeling goes back back to anti Maggie feeling even to this day, even though the Tories have the same amount of Westminster MP's as Labour namely 1.

 

And how many years did you work there ? or are all ex binmen experts on the Railways.Crossrail and HS2 are improving the infra structure there is no comparison

 

Sorry still bollocks.

Agreed Paul and on a similar note the 25k benefits cap needs to be slashed massively to about 10k if it was my choice so people are better in work, not living on benefits to end the lifestyle choice of living off the taxpayer.

 

I've never had a problem with genuine cases only those milking the system as a lifestyle choice.

 

So says the rail unions might as well be writen by mickey mouse.

 

They'll still be coming in, weathspoons and costa need them as does the NHS

 

No Weatherspoons and Costa don't and won't be bringing them in.

 

How naiive. You talk as though the tories had never been in before. You think it was only Blue Labour that gave money away.

Or did the tories stop it all when they got in & I missed it?

You know the answer.

 

The genuine ones are the ones who suffer, those milking the system know how to play it

 

They are doing bit by bit,I think you have missed it

 

Guards union RMT have been called worse at Waterloo!!

 

Keep telling yourself that. Listen to what your Tory party actually say, they know they are not going to reduce it significantly

 

No you think that,but you've been wrong about everything so far and will be again.

 

Yeah mate and that's the trouble all caused by Labour's benefits to buy votes culture.

 

On that point a little anecdote, I remember years ago - late 80's - I was living near Manchester (sorry) and Ann Winterton my CONSERVATIVE MP called asking for my vote. Credit to her for that but she then told me it was ok to cut NHS funding because of all the waste. I reminded her they'd been in power for 8 years so surely all the waste had already been stopped ...... erm..... it's the fault of NHS management she said ....... clueless

 

Not been wrong about anything yet, except my belief people wouldn't be so stupid as to vote leave

 

No foreigners at our local Wethers.

 

I embrace immigration. So does your tory government, btw. They know that we don't have the birth rate to support our ageing population. You see, they might have menial jobs (which often Brits won't touch), but they still pay the taxes that support things like the NHS.

Ask your local (no doubt tory) MP if he would support zero immigration. He won't. He knows the economy would collapse in jig time if it was stopped.
