It's all coming crashing down..
Recent vote has Rishi as favourite choice for new Tory leader.
And the masses will lap it up. Again. Continuing as they do to vote against their own interests.

Even though I have a lot of time for Rishi, I've spoken to him previously a few times over the years, he's a really nice guy, I can't see the conservatives winning the next election. Look at the way they've handled austerity, the pandemic etc. The next election will shock a lot of people.And the masses will lap it up. Again.

Don't get it twisted I'll never vote for him because of the party he represents but as I mentioned I've spoken to him on a personal level a few times over the years and haven't bad word to say about him on a non political sense.Sunak is a lot of things. Nice guy definitely isn’t one of them.
I got what you meant. Being personable and charming isn’t the same thing as him being a nice guy. He’s deeply unpleasant.Don't get it twisted I'll never vote for him because of the party he represents but as I mentioned I've spoken to him on a personal level a few times over the years and haven't bad word to say about him on a non political sense.
Charming? That makes it sound as if you think I've been blinkered by it. As is said, leaving politics out of the equation (also bearing in mind the times I've spoken to him that subject was never spoken about) he was sound to talk to.I got what you meant.

He can't because as much as I agree with his hatred of everything Tory (they've ****ed me over more times than I care to remember) the man himself is alright.You’re going to have to back this up Ad, Randy just said he was ok when he met him.

If he wore a red tie and rosette he'd be deemed as the second coming of the baby Jesus on here, especially if Labour were in charge during these weird pandemic times and Labour saved hundreds of thousands of jobs with the job retention scheme (the only thing the Tories have got right in 18 months).
A £750K pension pot is pretty big. Taken as a SIPP, that would be a very tidy sum for most people. Remember that in retirement, you have much lower outgoings, with the mortgage paid off and the kids gone etc.How many of those occupational pensions that were offered in the 70's and 80's have continued running to the present day, yes for those in the public sector but many private companies stopped them as they were far too costly, and of course many funds were underfunded or some sadly robbed ( mirror group employees) by the likes of Maxwell.
I did read an article once about pensions and the cost of the rises awarded by the MP's to themselves (who have a very generous pension scheme) stating to provide a pre-tax pension of £35K a year, the pension fund needs to be at least £750K given average life expectancy. That fund level not put in place by the contribution from the employee and the employer, hence those schemes stopped.
I like many, have 5 different schemes in place due to changing roles during my working life, it could have been 11, some companies I never joined their schemes (big mistake) 13 years missed and only state system paid into. Anyone who is approaching retirement in the next 5-10 years if they only have the state scheme then they are in a poor place, but this started about those on benefits not pensions. I started about 5 years ago ramping up my contributions, and have just under 5 to go all being well till retirement, but have to cut back spending now to ensure income in retirement is OK.
Fred West was a hell of a builder they say.... so if we leave the mass muderer chit chat aside.....No, not that you’ve been blinkered by him simply that being charming and likeable does not mean he’s a decent person. He isn’t as has clearly been demonstrated by his actions.
This is just utter nonsense. You’re confusing someone being able to be pleasant and charming in a one to one with a voting member of the public with being a decent person. Look at his actions, listen to his private words during the pandemic for his true character. It has precisely nothing to do with him being a Tory.
Yet you voted themThat’s the problem isn’t it? The got Brexit dun crowd seem to be strengthening their resolve the worse it becomes. It’s something I really can’t understand. Why are people so afraid of admitting mistakes that they have to get ever more vocal and desperate to defend them?
Yes. I really have dug in with my support of Brexit . This is almost as crazy a post as your stream of anti Lewi Hamilton abuse.Yet you voted them
You are these people.
Selling social housing was and is one of the greatest shame of domestic policy in my lifetime.Personal debt creation is a massive driver in Conservative policy and has been since Thatcher and Reagan espousal of Friedmanism to create the mechanics of neo-feudalism.
The selling off of council houses was merely a device to get people into debt and the subsequent booms and boosts of capitalism, the lack of social housing, and the ease in which credit has become easily available to more and more people are all parts of the process.
I don't think they will. I think Starmer will attack the corruption and a deal will be done with the SNP.And the masses will lap it up. Again. Continuing as they do to vote against their own interests.
And yet you voted for itYes. I really have dug in with my support of Brexit . This is almost as crazy a post as your stream of anti Lewi Hamilton abuse.
Sigh, I'm tired of explaining this. I guess some people just want to insult.And yet you voted for it
not only did you vote for brexit
you voted for this hard Tory insane brexit.
so thanks for that
