Reply to: Official™ Conservative and Unionist Party manifesto thread

On the upside, 8% of small businesses didn't read the manifesto.

Oh they will...

I'm waiting for her to reiterate her Article 50 letter position to the EU:

In security terms, a failure to reach agreement would mean our cooperation in the fight against crime and terrorism would be weakened.

We were just having these conversations in the office.

I have no kids who need this nor do I plan on having any.

So apparently I am a bad man for not thinking this is a bad thing.

So I responded with the line that 'Sure I am happy to vote for other people's interests - as long as they are happy to vote for mine'

Strangely enough that made me an even badder man.

Very bad man apt

Dreadful interview.

He's letting her dig her own hole.

I'm glad I'm not Mr Neil as I would never vote.

Hmmm, I recorded it. Do I want to watch it?

They've chickened out and removed it from current Finance Bill, no doubt it will make a comeback...

[darmstadt]

Oh they already have done...

FTFY

They better not approach the Brexit negotiations in this way.

Oh they will...

[jamesbrown]

Not necessarily. They can spin it as "listening to the people" or some such.

But a U-turn on this dementia tax does mean inheritance tax is likely to increase eye wateringly!

They can spin it how they want, it's a fecking shambles. They've made "strong and stable" the centrepeice of their campaign. May is woefully untrusting of anyone beyond Timothy and Hill, and this is what happens when you formulate your manifesto on the back of a fag packet with your besties. They better not approach the Brexit negotiations in this way. It also leaves them open to ridicule from such esteemed commentators as Gidiot, let alone Labour, who should be having a field day with this, had they any semblance of competence. Ultimately, I don't think it's going to change the outcome, but it makes them a fecking laughing stock. They're trying really, really hard to make me stay at home.

They are keeping strong and stable on stealing kids lunches!!!

Well the kids will become strong and stable from eating junk food....

And if they can't afford it they will beat up kids from more well off families to get their pocket money???
