I might vote Tory but that doesn't make me a bad person

At least they don't seem to want to enter politics; now that would be scary!

I think that celebrities start to think that they are at the centre of things. The internet and Facebook/twitter certainly doesnt help in that respect.
RB I dont think helped Ed Miliband.

This is how I do links. There are probably different ways, and better ways, but this is all I know.

Find the article or whatever you want to link. At the top of the page is the http://www. bit. Put your cursor at the end of that long line. Press left click. The whole line should go blue. The whole line must go blue, not just part of it.
Then press the Ctrl button. Keep it down and press the normal letter c button on the keyboard.

Now you can go onto the gransnet board and go to post as normal. Press the Ctrl button. Keep it down and press the normal letter v button on the keyboard.
The link should then come up.

It didn't take the election result to make RB look very silly indeed - he dies that all by himself

The election result has made Russell Brand look very silly indeed.

Soutra - I will be back later this afternoon.

My last word on this.

Oh don't big it up Leticia.

That is one conservative candidate trisher.

Thanks jbf a real response and reason. I don't mind if people say they think the policies benefit them and their families what I really object to is this "We are doing this because the poor will benefit eventually." Poverty is some thing that blights lives now

trisher has apologised.
I respect trisher's decision- I am sure that she had all sorts of reasons for thinking it.
I didn't take mine lightly - that is why I finally decided in the day.
I am also not saying who I voted for - except I wouldn't vote for UKIP if they were the only choice!
I just think that other people are to be equally respected and it not be assumed they are stupid, easily conned, rich and privileged , uncaring etc.
We all had the same information, we just come to different conclusions - we are better off for it. A set of unthinking clones would be dreadful!

Unfortunately jo1book, given the nature of social media and the number of followers people such as Lily Allen and Russell Brand accrue, not only does it give them an inflated sense of their own importance, it also seems to give creedence to the ill conceived drivel they spew out.

I actually had a conversation with a Conservative candidate in which he admitted supporting the privatisation of services in the NHS. Something he wasn't widely publicising.

That was to trisher not Ana.

A wouldn't go amiss.

I think you misread Leticia's first post, trisher. She wasn't accusing you of being uneducated...

Ok. I voted Tory mainly because of Cameron's promise to raise the Inheritance Tax threshold. But also because I think they are on the right track with the economy, which I want sorted out before my grandkids come of age.

Trisher read Leticia's post again. You might have a great pile of certificates, but you can't seem to get the gist of a post on Gransnet.

Will apologise now Leticia misread your post - sorry -see I do admit mistakes. Everyone is teling me they have a right to their opinions and all I have said is will they tell me why they want to subject people to 5 more years where the poorest suffer. Dave can pretend he doesn't know about foodbanks but surely the rest of us do.

Did anyone actually read the literature from the various candidates standing for election in their constituencies? I did. I made my choice of who to vote for based upon these. It was the Conservative candidate who actually said what needed to be done in the constituency, the others just waffled on, giving the party manifesto, not what they actually thought was needed in this area. Therefore my vote went to the Conservatives. I am not rich, I have trouble making ends meet at the end of some months, but I think David Cameron is doing a good job.

sorry personal

Interesting that it is only peronsal criticism that is being posted. Please can someone write why they support the policies
"if only you were educated"-Leticia-
Only an MA, PGCE, Tourist Badge and lots of certificates-SORRY

An over simplified explanation trisher, I wouldn't categorise Labour voters into two groups, I imagine their supporters would encompass a wide spectrum of different attitudes, social backgrounds, aspirations and concerns. Neither would I ask them to justify why they had voted in the way they did with the implication that they don't really understand what they are voting for. I imagine that they had very good reasons for reaching that conclusion. We live in a democracy for heavens sake, in spite of what Lily Allen may think, and as such, it's part of that process that the electorate choose to vote for a party, that in their opinion, will do the best job in governing our country.

Terribull. I am always dismayed at the bilge put on the internet. I do wonder (in a gesture to be generous) if is a because it is a. late at night b. They're on drugs c. Drunk
