Politics General Election 2017

[Job]

My mother had type 2 diabetes for 20 years, she takes tablets and watches her sugar intake.
In that time it hasn't inconvenienced her outside of extra trips to the doctors for check ups.

 

[Scouse]

Good that she's being managed correctly by the NHS.

But whilst we're on the "my mum is clearly representative of the whole country" bandwagon - my mates mum has had her leg amputated and is going blind because of type-2 diabetes.

Perhaps we should listen to the health professionals who check the actual evidence on an other-than-anecdotal level who say that obesity and type-2 diabetes are an existential threat to the NHS?

 

[Raven]

That is quite a protest.

Obviously either undiagnosed or poorly maintained.
If you are at the point of having parts amputated, the condition has been left for years and the symptoms ignored.

 

[Scouse]

Or complications occur because different peoples bodies act differently in different circumstances.

But maybe I should listen to you Dr Job, rather than the professionals, eh?

Interesting @Big G. Didn't think that there were that many old people.

 

[Lakih]

What's the difference between not working and unemployed?

Lol.. so hang on!

She was about to fuck pensions
She was about to fuck winter fuel payments
She was about to cut elderly care funding

And the stupid old cunts STILL voted Conservative?

Presume someone who is unemployed is actively seeking work, and "not working" might be someone who does childcare (full time mum), or simply chooses not to work?

They interviewed a coffin dodger on TV who went on to slate May and the Tories, but then admitted she was voting for them anyway. It's those moments that make me question democracy.

It's moments like that I just think "There should be a cut off age in which the elderly can no longer vote for the fate of this country." - alright for them, they'll likely be dead before damaging changes really start messing with people.

Given that most of them lived through the Labour Government in the 70's that Corbyn was trying to send us back to, they probably thought "fuck that for a game of soldiers".

 

[Job]

Ha..so the students and the unemployed voted for a free ride.
Nothing new there....still they lost...lost against the worst Tory campaign ever.
How long before it dawns on Labour they could have won with a proper candidate.

Name a Labour MP who could have done it better.

I'm not actually sure if I can facepalm this comment enough. Ignoring the fact it's a bit "Soylent Green" you appear to be suggesting taking the vote away from people who don't vote the right way? Ignoring the fact that the mess we're in currenly can be laid at the door of both parties (I'd still point the finger more at Gordon Brown and his fiscal incompetence, not putting more of those record tax receipts he got away for a rainy day, and utterly crippling us with PFI), have you any idea how fucking undemocratic that is?

Alright I put my hands up and agree with you for once, still quite silly though.... they were about to fuck the very electorate that kept them in power, made me cry a bit inside.

@Bodhi is right, the Bliar years are still a scar on my conscience.

However, back to the 70s @Bodhi ? Golden years for Sony TVs, thought you'd welcome that.

JK BRO!

That was the 90's when they came with the little "It's a Sony" stickers on them, and had Trinitron!

Theresa May and DUP deal could be delayed until next week - BBC News

 

[Job]

Im not sure if we should be proud how incompetent and gaffe prone our politicians are.

 

[BloodOmen]

That said! I still don't agree with Bodhi about them voting to avoid another Labour of the 70's (which I think is just bollocks) - most OAP's they've got on TV they all give the same answer "Oh I don't like the look of him!"..

 

[Scouse]

Ha..so the students and the unemployed voted for a free ride.

....ignoring the evidence again @Job.

 

[Job]

I didn't say only

 

[Scouse]

I didn't say only

Bullshit. You made your argument that could only be made if you disregarded the obvious. As usual.

 

[Gwadien]

Also perhaps they're unemployed because of the Tory Government???

 

[BloodOmen]

Lol

Theresa May is now stealing Jeremy Corbyn's slogans

 

[Job]

I said the unemployed and students..they voted in the majority for a free lunch.
Or do you read everything to its pedantic limit.
No youre right, I took one look and misread that only the unemployed and students voted for labour.
Not a single working class person voted for a working class party...thats what I deduced without looking.

 

[Scouse]

Working class?

Who the fuck (but you) has said anything about working class?

You're so incoherent it's untrue! Or by working class do you mean working person in employment?

 

[Job]

You cant quote when Im being sarcastic.
