Reply to: What would the Tories do that's different?

And EO.....and DodgyAgent, Diver, Boudica, MTT, voodooflux.......quite a number really.

This makes me sad.

Some were banned. Some have died. Some have emigrated. Some will have gone permie and got better things to do.

[shaunbhoy]

The same might be said of many others, HAB for instance, though he did say he was ill.

I suppose they just get fed up and leave.

Cold turkey, like.

Whatever happened to Timberwolf, I wonder.

His last post was in 2012, nothing dramatic, but since then he's disappeared never to be seen on CUK again.

(unless he's posted more recently under another ID)

Hmmm it'll be interesting to see how - they sold everything off last time - I suppose they could privatise Network Rail. As for the Civil Service, every government, Labour and Tory talk tough about this but never do. Thatcher was the real inventor of Quangos, for example.

FWW I'd be in favour of any party I honestly believed would root out all the deadwood and non-jobs - although the question arises about what we're going to do with all the redundant Civil Servants.

They only started privatising later. At first they made the country live within its means. But DC does not have the bottle for that.

They will roll back the frontiers of the state (once again).

David Cameron is my MP. Have met him on a couple of occasions and he strikes me as a nice, ordinary (if rich) fellow. He will sometimes stand on a soapbox outside Witney Town Hall and speak, impromptu, on some local issue or other to the passers by.

You can't picture Gordon Doom doing that, can you?

George Osbourne is mine and he's a slimy Trust-fund Tory-toff little sh1t!

I will believe it when I see it.

They'd do the same thing, but call it something different.

Compassionate conservatism.

Old Conservatism; we're going to reduce your benefits because you're a lazy little tulip and we hate you, and we're going to close your hospital because we can; we're on BUPA

Newfangled Compassionate Conservatism; we're going to stimulate you to make a success of your life by reducing your dependence on state benefits so you will be encouraged to go and get a McJob, and we will encourage you to maintain a healthy lifestyle by rationalising the health service and removing unnecessary expenditure

[bogeyman]

No, because he's too busy running the country, perhaps?

Do you honestly think that Dave is going to be outside Witney town hall after the next election??

Probably not but he's a good local MP.

Gordon Brown is just an inept, demented twat.

Well, we'd no longer have a thunderbird puppet running the Health service for a start

It really doesn't matter who gets in as the are just stooges for the trilateral commission. There has not been democracy in the world since 1954. Tory = Labour.
