This from a low paid public sector worker who will have seen his pay frozen for 4 years, conditions of service weakened and will now have to work 7 years longer to get access to his much smaller civil service pension.
Yes, cant think why you wouldn't vote for the Bullingdon Club and Trust Fund elite, makes total sense.

still if labour get in id probably be about £1500 a year worse off
cant believe theres so many idiots in this country that they will get in again and ruin the country again
Maybe the idiots who might vote for them are the ones who are not £1500 better off,or maybe just the majority who haven't made thousands from tax cuts,or who don't work in the city?

having 'worked' in the city between 1989 and 2009 at lloyds of london i do find this city baiting rather tiresome.
its become a place of revulsion painted by the media as draculas castle where virgins and babies are slaughtered on the altar of profit.
in my experiance 90% of the people i worked with, done business with and socialised with were down to earth normal men and women working hard to support their families earning between 20,000 and 60,000 per year.
these people certainly wernt rich, just trying get by and getting the 7.29 from orpington /chadwell heath/barnet every morning and serving their pay masters making money for people who already had to much, and with luck , perhaps treating the mrs to a chinese takeway once a month.
i remember a geezer from broker support telling me about his mortgage arrears he had 4 children), as he was doing so one of my directors butted in and talked about buying quad bikes with his profit share for his kids so' they could roam his gardens in shenfield.'
its that 10% which are the cnts..its that 10% which drove me off the edge with their greed , not the single mum who works as a pa to some chinless chucky from baliol for £35,000 per year.its that 10% whcih made me retrain and become a probation officer on a third of what i was earning in 2006. that 10%.
id expect people from grimsby to demonise the city or people who have never worked there and simply havnt a fkn clue what their talking about.
just because they work in finance and worked in a certain geographical area ,dosent make them all gordon gekko on amyl nitrate , selling nigerian blood diamonds so they can buy a unicorn for their sons and daughters.
and by the by, im certainly no tory but what did labour do for the 13 years in charge on controlling city bonuses and augmenting banking regulations?. because from where i was sitting for twenty years, it didnt look much to me..

But Labour were asleep at the wheel when the finance industry were selling everyone cheap credit that didn't exist. They had an open door policy to all of Europe, Africa, Asia, you name it(as they knew it would boost Labour votes) they invaded Iraq illegally (Just look at the place now, great work there). Gordon Brown for years was telling our Pensioners to lump their money into savings accounts only for the whole thing to go belly up and leave thousands of our pensioners far worse off. An absolute farcical government who shouldn't even have the cheek to run for re-election for the next 20 years. Not saying the Tories are much better to be honest, yes they appear to want to see the public sector burn and they are pretty much a government for the middle and upper classes as always, but I still can't forgive Labour for their incompetence. I guess I'll be avoiding both parties. Where's Nige?

Once you get away from the Tory heartlands of SE England and the shires, you will find that they are trusted as much as a wet fart after a particularly heavy Bass and Bhuna evening.
We're all in it together? Doesn't seem that way. If Labour weren't so weak, they'd have a 10 point lead in the polls. As it is we're likely to be left with a minority government propped up by lunatics or nationalists.

So anyone who doesn't vote Labour or Tory is either a nationalist or a loon?
That's exactly what they want people to think. The properganda machine is working full flow.

i remember the labour mp for rochdale saying in may of last year that labour cannot rely on public sector workers, the unemployed and immigrants to vote them in with a clear majority.
i think he's right.
more of the same lined up for our delectation , post may the 8th, i fear.
and lets face it, anything above and beyond a note reading 'the moneys run out' left by labour for the next incoming chancellor , should be considered a roaring success.

This lot have been really tough on immigration haven't they?I don't remember 25% of my work mates being Bulgarian under Labour.They are now. The only winners are the Bulgarians who are bringing them in to help drive down wages,and their profits up. No party is any better than the others,but 1 party looks after its own too much for my liking.
