moseeds Posted 6 May 2010 Posted 6 May 2010 Initially for the last few weeks I wasn't too worried if a tory government came in. However as polling day draws nearer I have been struck with very real fear of what that will mean in practice. Then to compound my fears I read this amazing piece by Johan Hari (whom I admire greatly): http://www.johannhari.com/2010/05/05/welcome-to-cameron-land People who took this at face value were startled by the first act of the Conservatives on assuming power – a crackdown on the homeless. They immediately sold off 12 homeless shelters, handing them to large property developers. The horrified charity Crisis was offered premises by the BBC to house the abandoned in a shelter over the Christmas period at least. The council refused permission. They said the homeless were a "law and order issue", and a shelter would attract undesirables to the area. With this in mind, they changed the rules so that the homeless had to "prove" to a sceptical bureaucracy that they had nowhere else to go – and if they failed, they were turned away.We know where this ended. A young woman – let's called her Jane Phillips, because she wants to remain anonymous – turned up at the council's emergency housing office one night, sobbing and shaking. She was eight months pregnant. She explained she was being beaten up by her boyfriend and had finally fled because she was frightened for her unborn child. The council said they would "investigate" her situation to find "proof of homelessness" – but she told them she had nowhere to go while they carried it out. By law, they were required to provide her with emergency shelter. They refused. They suggested she try to find a flat on the private market. I read this and I feel so scared as to what will happen on Friday morning. I am fairly well off. However many people I know - friends, family, etc rely on key, essential services provided by the government. If the tories get in there will be riots. http://www.theobverse.com/stopdave/

Guest DavidJCW Posted 6 May 2010 Posted 6 May 2010 Unfortunately I don't have permission to edit the last election campaign poll any more so I can't update the information about seats... Do vote though if you haven't already, the more the better.

Only becuase the Unions won't like the fact that they can no longer bully the government into doing what they want.
Guest DavidJCW Posted 6 May 2010 Posted 6 May 2010 I've opened it for you temporarily. As soon as you update it I can close it again. You've completely closed it so nobody can vote any more... and I can't edit my second post to update it over the day. Also, can you not completely delete the first post? There's no need for it to be there at all now... Thank you though.
Dr The Singh Posted 6 May 2010 Posted 6 May 2010 http://news.bbc.co.u...and/8663681.stm Shits on the election debates anyway. I hate that word 'Asian', it could mean anyone from a whole fookin continent people who have not ties with each other, other then being from that continent......anyway, although I can't stand the BNP, there was no need to resort to violence and spitting!!

I didn't want to risk deleting the first post in case it takes the poll with it.
Samilktray Posted 6 May 2010 Posted 6 May 2010 I'm gonna vote Lib Dem I think, although I could be swayed by these guys...
moseeds Posted 6 May 2010 Posted 6 May 2010 Oh what a load of crap. Riots? Only becuase the Unions won't like the fact that they can no longer bully the government into doing what they want. Making hundreds of thousands redundant, cutting pay across the board, cutting services from those that depend on it, massive pool of unemployed youth, obscene bonuses for failuer, memories of Thatcher - if that isn't a recipe for strife then I don't know what is.
FoxyPV Posted 6 May 2010 Posted 6 May 2010 Jesus, that's how all political differences should be solved in the future. I hate any cvnt from the BNP but if someone gobbed at me like that I don't think I'd be responsible for my actions either. I'd have my money on Prescott every time. If they had of done that for the election Cameron definitely would have been fvcked. "how many of yous are robbers?" What kind of a question is that?! BNP cvnts. One of his cronies - "there's more of us than you" - cock.

Alexikokopops Posted 6 May 2010 Posted 6 May 2010 http://twitpic.com/1lb3uq.......give the ££'s back to the richest instead. Good ol' Gillian Merron! Anyway, I discovered this morning that CURE were running in my constituency. If only I'd known earlier I would have kept an eye on their manifesto.
Benji Posted 6 May 2010 Posted 6 May 2010 UKIPs Farage in Plane Accident And if he didn't think it could get any worse, he's been transferred to Coventry
James. Posted 6 May 2010 Posted 6 May 2010 Oh what a load of crap. Riots? Only becuase the Unions won't like the fact that they can no longer bully the government into doing what they want. And I suppose you'll defend what that Conservative council have done in Hammersmith, right?

I hate being labeled white British ..... I am English!!!!!.

Today i popped my voting cherry and voted for the BNP, I am not a racist, they are not racist as the media manipulates i just want things how they should be and start looking after us, put US first .

Jon the Hat Posted 6 May 2010 Posted 6 May 2010 And I suppose you'll defend what that Conservative council have done in Hammersmith, right? Well I won't judge it purely on one source of information for a start. I do wonder though if people realise quite how stuffed the country actually is. We are spending much more than we can afford, and the more tax we take out of people pockets to fund the public sector, the fewer jobs that money can create in the private sector, and thus the fewer people there are to pay that tax. It is a vicious circle and the only way out is to cut spending. You can tax more in the shrot term, but in the long term it will bite you on the arse. Cuts are coming, big time - worse than under Thatcher. The public sector better get used to the idea that they are not getting a payrise, or a bonus and they might even lose their jobs. The rest of us have been under these conditions for the past 3 years, so it is about time the shared the pain.
Thracian Posted 6 May 2010 Posted 6 May 2010 UK budget deficit 'set to outstrip Greece' http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/uk-budget-deficit-set-to-outstrip-greece-1963130.html And still people will vote Labour or their spiritual stablemates, the Liberals. No wonder gold's going through the roof. Talk about self mutilation! I just loved it when that old life-long labour-supporting woman talked to Brown about immigration and he basically called her an arsehole off camera ... had she not been told she'd have been so taken in by bullshit Brown she'd have endorsed him yet again ... and even now I have my doubts that she'll change. Old habits die hard in places where people believe the illusion that Labour will fly the flag for the British working class. Labour have spent years effectively kicking British workers out of jobs and leaving many of them in positions of utter hopelessnesss and lots of young people with no chance of ever owning their own home. If Gordon Brown had any decency he'd just go away and lose himself. And that's being kind. The same goes for bully-boy Mandelson and his henchmen many of whom are unfit for office anyway. .

Here you go: http://hfconwatch.blogspot.com/ read it and weep Stop falling for Tory rhetoric and bullsh*t. The reality is the tories are picking on a particular scapegoat to divert attention away from very real problems in our society which will not be cured by laying off as many social workers and bin men as possible.

FoxyPV Posted 6 May 2010 Posted 6 May 2010 Why is it a joke? The BNP aren't as racist as they are portrayed in the media - they are a million times worse. Little Englanders wanting to purge this great nation () of all the darkies -fvck off! And for all their claims of being open to non -whites read this.
