Wow the righties have properly got paranoia head on just cos a parties not quite as right wing as they'd like

You'll be ok Mel, You may even be able to manage another 22 years on the rock and roll under a Labour government, or was it 23 years? Some people have worked all their lives for a living and paid all their taxes. How much income tax have you paid? And don't tell me it was a lack of jobs and everyone else's fault because us "righties" find that tedious, and the problem you "Lefties" have is you think all us "righties" are daft. Once all you "lefties" stop taking the mick and realise us "righties" aren't  stupid the world will be a better place somewhat.

Same as most people in the country then:

Levelling down: Brits are £10,000 poorer than they were in 2010 (bigissue.com)

Homeowners are laughing though as their property has risen on average 40% since 2010.

 

So really, most folk are better off.

That makes no sense at all.

 

High house prices make very few people better off. They make aspirational first time buyers worse off and cause rent inflation.

 

The country would be a much better place if house prices were lower.

Anybody who sticks a Labour government into power has got memory issues or was very young when they were last booted out. 

Terrible wasn’t it:

 

Massive increases in spending on health and education.

Revamp of old public buildings. 
Introduction of the minimum wage.

Sure Start.

Devolution.

Peace in Northern Ireland.

NHS waiting lists slashed.

Class sizes slashed.

Ban on fox hunting with dogs.

2012 Olympics.

 

The best government of my lifetime. Shame about the warmongering.

 

 

Careful what you vote for.

Do you think that this government does not encourage being on the rock and roll . Well I know many who vote for this lot who have no intension  in ever getting a job One who as now passed away used to advise on how to get on the rock and roll  . I have. Never know this man work . And like many others go in the boozer every day  They all vote for this lot.

Only on paper unless you have got 2 or more houses. Good for the kids though which is part of the great divide of the have and have nots into the future.
