Election Fever

I don't really give a flying ---- who gets in, it'll make next to no difference to me.
The super rich will continue to get even wealthier at the expense of everyone else. This country is haven for them.
I've noticed recently that this particular topic is starting to get more airtime, and us plebians are becoming more aware.

I predict a riot! :smilielol5:

Being a cynic I simply put it down to the fact that Labour keep on banging on about it as they have absolutely nothing to offer on the majority of policies, least of all immigation, the housing shortage & cost of buying and renting (caused by immigration), the creaking NHS (caused by immigration), the creaking schools places issue (caused by immigration), the lack of pay increases (caused by too many bottom feeders drawn in by immigration)...... just for starters.

They have things in abundance that we don't i.e. land, farm quality land, oil, gas, natural reserves of minerals......

It's got shag all to do with immigration, it's to do with Britain (and London property as investments for one) being a tax haven for the super rich.
What is it, extra domiciles (I know that's completly the wrong term! ) or something or other, get a load of tax breaks.

It was initially started to encourage massive investment which would trickle down wealth to the scum. It hasn't worked! They're just getting exponentially richer.

Like the USA we have things in abundance
We have super rich fraudsters paying less tax than a street cleaner and getting a lordship off the torries for their enterprise skills

Housing shortage caused by not building enough houses

School place shortage caused by under investment in schools

Low pay caused by greedy bosses.
Example, yesterday we heard of the billions paid to the Premier league, hundreds of thousands paid per week to footballers, yet the same clubs do not even pay their staff a living wage. Pure evil greed.

Bed shortage & broken a&e caused by under investment
I was appalled at the number of immigrants in my local A&E. One of them bandaged my arm and another took me for an x-ray

No one ever mentions the growth in the population of what are called in some circles "indigenous brits"

They can have them, the Scots want immigration!

Can't see that Clive, the SNP are socialists they hate the Tories.

Er....they have some socialist policies and "some" socialist Mp's....but there are plenty of right wingers in there...the party hierarchy is from "tory bloodstock" lol. They are just not stupid and realise what the electorate of Scotland generally "want". They are well run and a pretty clever operation....They give with one hand but cut with the other. I could not care less what their roots are though as their policies at this time are generally in tune with my thinking. I have also lost complete faith in Scottish Labour and in particular my worse than useless local "safe" until now labour Mp....maybe it is just change for the sake of change....but i think the consensus of even the whole uk is we are fairly fed up of the state of politics in general...
