Who on this site voted for the Tory's in May's General election ?

Nearly did, but struggled, so didnt.

Glad you have written a much shorter opening post. And politely too.

You are going to get pulled up for having written Tory's again. You may be rebelling. I dont blame you.

I am not sure that the rolling back of the state is because they dont like it.
Could it be because it costs money to run?

You're right, voting IS a private thing.

Mind your own business.

At least you are more polite at the start of this post. It is none of your business how I vote.

TORIES
Please write our 100 times, this is how you spell the colloquial name for the Conservative Party, then adjust your spellchecker.

Cameron was not standing in my constituency as it happens, but there is a recon we have a secret ballot.

*Write ouT", doh!

soontobe, The right wing of the Tory party in or out of government are ideologically opposed to the role of the State and everything attached to it.

These cut backs have nothing to do with costs, they are purely ideological.

Im a Labour voter, because Labour gave us the NHS, and because Labour by tradition always look after the vulnerable.

I see im getting slapped on the wrist for my spelling by a few people. Its nice to see "poisonality" out there in Granset.

Charleygirl , I didnt ask you "personally", I asked a general question.

.

No, voted labour

I am so pleased you mentioned that you are a Labour voter because I would never have guessed.

Thought it would surprise some Charleygirl

Well regarding spelling, do you have an ideological objection to "getting it right"?

Is correcting posters spelling acceptable on this forum?

You are beginning to get on my nerves now QT

Surely correcting spelling (or grammar or punctuation) is only acceptable when the intended meaning is unclear?

MYOB

grumppa probably you are right, but when a grammatical error leaps off the page at you, it tends then to be the only thing that you notice.

Tories, Tories, Tories

But Qt does not listen - and indeed, why should he? He knows he is always right.
(Or left as the case may be. )

Apologies, Qt you may be female.

You did not ask generally, Qt, it was a personal question (or is that beyond your reasoning?).

Generally, I believe that Gransnetters voted right across the political spectrum.

Don't worry everyone, school starts again next week.

It may be one thing you notice but it's unkind to draw attention to a spelling error or to correct it . Suppose it makes some feel superior , pity

QT you making the same mistake that so many ageist people make in that because we may be getting on in years and somewhat wrinkled that we are also losing our marbles. But the truth is that you are in danger of stating the bleeding obvious to us grans, as we have seen it all and experienced much between us.

A wee bit of growing up is in order

Come off it Anniebach
"He only does it to annoy
Because he knows it teases"

If we have threads on Pedants' Corner etc lamenting spelling and grammar howlers, isn'it more than a bit disingenuous to perpetrate them?
