Me: No they're out (Labour Idiot thrusts massive Labour pamphlet in my face)
Me: You gotta be joking haven't ya? - I live in Exeter and wouldn't vote labour if the only other alternative were feminist psychopaths intent on making men 2nd class citizens!
Labour Idiot: (no answer) just had a stupid smirk on his face
Me: Good luck you'll need it (closing door).
Right I get that people might vote for them, that is their choice, but this loony, are you not condoning what has happened by doing this 'job' ?
Unhappy with Labour too, but the tories NEVER did anything for the working classes and the Liberals sold out. UKIP a joke. Parliamentry system a bigger joke. Work, rest, eat die we have been conned.
I cannot get past the fact that it happened on their watch and they chose cultural Union over child rape. The alternatives are not great but they cannot be worse.
in my opinion my voting for labour would be symbolic of me condoning their being complicit to child rape. They knew about it and did nothing. In my view that makes them complicit. Therefore I will not be voting labour.

That's fair enough Heman, did they all no about it? Not sure, but yes they deserve everything they get. However if anyone thinks that they will be saved by any of the alternatives then they are in for a disappointment. Look at UKIP's policies, basically free market Thatcherites who have jumped on a convenient band wagon of immigration.
As you all (may) know I only work part time these days due to family cir***stances. Yes we get certain benefits, but I like to think I'm an intelligent ambitious chap. I see the benefits as a recompense, as the alternative, my wife living in secure accommodation would cost the country twice as much. Interestingly I've been asked to apply to a college 40 miles from here, 1 position is for a zero hour contract lecturing position and t'other a full time training co-ordinator that is a 22k a year job. The IT dept down there, half I went to uni with & now lecture, the other half are lecturers from when I was there, long story short both jobs are virtually mine. I'll get to the point - I can't apply for the full time training position as we'd literally be on the bread line comparatively. When you add in factors, that I'll need to find care for my wife & children, no school holidays off & the prospect of not being so versatile as I'm self employed its a fools errand. How can that be right? - you hear Cameron bleating on about being better in work, when reality, nothing is further than the truth. Are these sound bites, or is he purely talking about people on JSA etc were obviously it is better being in full time work not just financially?
I can't wait to work full time again, but until my children are old enough to deal with school themselves & chip in with helping mum - there is absolutely no sense in doing it financially or otherwise
I wouldn't want to tell anyone how to vote but basically I believe that a Labour/SNP alliance would be a disaster for the majority of English people who are already getting royally shafted by the Scots and Ed Balls as chancellor makes my blood run cold - the guy has proved himself to be economically illiterate.
He's spent the last five years spouting that spending huge sums of money that we don't have propping up inefficient public services will somehow generate wealth and grow the economy. He has also consistently rubbished George Osbourne's plan to get to grips with the country's deficit (i.e the difference between what we spend on public services and the money raised in taxes - this is before we get to the national debt, which is massive and still growing). His argument is that we are 'cutting too far too fast', even though Labour's plans for cutting the deficit are pretty similar to those of the Conservatives.
For me Osbourne has got the balance just about right between eliminating waste in the public sector, cutting the enormous benefits bill that Labour created and closing tax loopholes for the rich and multi-nationals. The plan is starting to bear fruit but Labour would take us back to the bad old days of taxing the rich so much that it will drive them and their tax take off shore and it will then fall on the rest of us to pick up the bill (in higher taxes) to fund their overblown state and welfare system.
Whatever you think of Thatcher she was right when she said "the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money" and unfortunately we are still at that point in the political cycle so I think the Tories need another term to sort out the mess.
I cannot get past the fact that it happened on their watch and they chose cultural Union over child rape. The alternatives are not great but they cannot be worse.
