Pushandpull Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 There are two conflicting narratives in this and similar threads : 1. They are all the same. or, 2. Labour would be much worse. Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigteddy1954 Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 The parties are like football teams if your Tory it doesn't matter what they do you support them. Same as labour voters do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old farrier Posted September 18, 2023 Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 Just googled the difference between a million and a billion in seconds to get some real idea of the amount of aid that we give out there is a lot of difference between the two a almost frightening amount of money food for thought 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a gross income of £10,600 a year and pay £1,060 in tax from it? Just try living on that £9,540! Some pensioners get even less than that!

Downforce Posted September 26, 2023 Report Share Posted September 26, 2023 I haven’t read the whole thread but several bits so speaking from partial ignorance I think the problem arises when the Tories start adopting policies like the Labour and vice versa so you got no idea who’s doing what, then them sneaky LibDems start ditching all their long held fiscal policies like a penny on tax and start sounding only half barmy people might be confused about what they are voting for! D PS thence reality check yourself and realise that they all change their minds once in power!! PPS “Thence” such a nice word offered by predictive text - too good to miss even if only slightly out of context Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing though….I didn’t know My next door neighbor just told me the EU don’t have access to DVLA at the moment so if you speed abroad they can’t get your details - sweet ! D Another thought just occurred If we ever did have to support NATO in Germany Poland etc would the squaddies need a visa and have to go through the slow lines of immigration? 😀 Edited September 26, 2023 by Downforce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
