1001 reasons NEVER to vote TORY

[wendigo100]

IF you vote or not a bunch of scum sucking cn uts get power.

Ignore all this political cr @p and bleed as much money as you can from this obscence cess-pit of a country and either leave or feather your nest so well (after Tax) so which ever scumbag gets power you are immune to their phycotic policies.

Really, getting het up about ideology (which may win electiions but are never actually carried out) is insane, spend all your energy making money to protect yourself from the mad, bad and criminally insane i.e. politicians.

Point taken vista - to sum up, you say "every man for himself".

I have some sympathy with that now, ever since the current Chancellor started finding stealthy ways to grab more and more money from me, and the IR started bullying people into paying tax they shouldn't be paying.

But it is wrong to suggest that "all politicians are the same".

I have paid more tax under Labour governments - the second half of the seventies when I started work, and the last five years - than I have under the other party.

Yet through that time, the things that tax revenue is now spent on have not changed greatly. Hospitals still have similar waiting lists, trains are still late, crime is still increasing, schools are different but no better.

So from that point of view, it seems to me that all politicians do a similar job - it is just that Labour politicians do it more expensively and with more complex systems than the others.

Therefore, if I consider economic grounds alone, I'd rather not hire Labour politicians to run the country for me.

>Your pitiful little orgy of greed will bring you no lasting comfort

Au contraire. Sweet of you to care though.
You still haven't given us any examples of industries unnecessarily destroyed by Thatcher's government. Water doesn't count, I've decided, as I just turned on my tap and some water came out, so I've taken that to mean the water industry is alive and pumping.
You stick to your bitter little anti-Thatcher rant, as you are fully entitled, this being a free country (despite the best efforts of socialists down the years). When she does go, I might just have a glass of the bubbly stuff myself. I'll be toasting the woman who transformed Britain from a 3rd world basket case to the 4th largest economy. You can do what you like. I'm off to read Animal Farm again...

A teacher mate of mine still screws up his face at the sound of the word "Thatcher", and utters "cruel, cruel woman" under his breath.

Those who were aware of how business works liked her, and those who weren't, didn't.
