Mice! Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 1 hour ago, Rewulf said: An oldy, but a goody. I asked my friend’s little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be Prime Minister some day.Both her parents, Labour supporters, were standing there, so I asked her, “If you were Prime Minister what would be the first thing you would do?”She replied, “I’d give food and houses to all the homeless people.”Her parents beamed, and said, “Welcome to the Labour party!”“Wow…what a worthy goal!” I told her. I continued, “But you don’t have to wait until you’re Prime Minister to do that. You can come over to my house, mow the lawn, pull weeds, sweep my drive and I’ll pay you £25. Then I’ll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out. You can give him the £25 to use toward food.”She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, “Why doesn’t the homeless guy come over and do the work and you can just pay him the £25?”I smiled and said:"Welcome to the Conservative Party.”🤣 How dare you sir, work for cash in hand🤣🤣 I do like it though.

And that's the problem with modern politics. It's been dumbed down (presumably because the state education system is so hopelessly poor) to the point of absurdity.

It's a jokey type of analogy, it's not meant to be a serious take on the differences between political ideologues. I rather suspect its been converted from an Americanised version, but hey ho, you don't agree with the simplistic view, and as such throw a broad brush stroke at how thick we all are. Absurd? The irony 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cows love company🐮 I can completely understand not supporting her politics we all have different views. It's the attitude to her gender that betrays underlying insecurities. It might be worth exploring these further to help understand where these come from and identify solutions.
