When MaizieD and GracesgranMK3 constantly use Ffs does that not offend you?
I completely understand why you can't comment ?

It has just occurred to me that all those who imagine they are 'safe' under Boris and will not be asked for more tax or targeted in any other way may be labouring under a delusion. If the party is funded by millionaires then those are the people it will serve. Having cut benefits to the bone and looking for another target group how long before Boris decides pensions and pensioners would be a good place to continue cutting? Watch out for news stories about grans splurging their pensions on gin!

Boris will win by default because the opposition are so useless and he appeals to the lowest common denominator. Not because he is the most able, trustworthy,
loyal, team player, we all know he makes up lies as he goes along. Still those who lap it all up can gloat and point but they won’t have won anything. We’ll all be losers.

trisher it has taken me nearly two years and lots of research to find a gin I like.......this Granny shall definitely be spending her pension on gin......when I get it, I am a WASPI.

So WWM2 lifted from the Daily Worker??

There are apparently only two well known people who want us to vote Conservative......now why don’t we believe that?!

lemongrove Mon 09-Dec-19 16:36:03

Raspberry gin for me please.

lemongrove Mon 09-Dec-19 16:36:34

From this Marxist rag, The Times:

''Nine Russian business people who gave money to the Conservative Party are named in a secret intelligence report on the threats posed to UK democracy which was suppressed last week by Downing Street.

Oligarchs and other wealthy Tory donors were included in the report on illicit Russian activities in Britain by the cross-party intelligence and security select committee (ISC), whose publication was blocked by No 10.

Some Russian donors are personally close to the prime minister. Alexander Temerko, who has worked for the Kremlin’s defence ministry and has spoken warmly about his “friend” Boris Johnson, has gifted more than £1.2m to the Conservatives over the past seven years''

Whitewavemark2 - you can only find two people who want us to vote Tory?
grin grin grin I don't think you looked very hard did you? It doesn't fit your agenda.

Bunga bunga parties at the Russian Palazzo in Umbria- Italy.

Personally, I don't care about his sex life or his sex moral- but M16 certainly did. And it is very likely that the Russians have footage and evidence that can blackmail Johnson for a very long time.

Compared to Boris, Andrew's past behaviour is irrelevant. Why are people so up in arms about Andrew's sexual behaviour- and totally oblivious to Boris's?

Johnson was a serious security risk as Mayor of London- he is a massive and very serious security risk now.

Shelmiss Mon 09-Dec-19 17:32:37

So Gary Lineker wants us to vote Labour. Oh ok then he’s made me change my mind.

Not. grin grin

Opalsusanna1 Mon 09-Dec-19 17:38:12

I don't really want to say this but voting for Boris and his bunch of second raters really is a sign of unevolved thinking.

Grannyhall29 Mon 09-Dec-19 17:41:20

Not as scary as it would be if Cornyn got in

Opal Mon 09-Dec-19 17:44:39

jura2 Johnson was a serious security risk as Mayor of London- he is a massive and very serious security risk now.

If ever there was a security risk, it's Corbyn, supporter of Hamas, supporter of the IRA, etc. etc.

MaizieD Mon 09-Dec-19 17:48:48

Johnson was such a security risk that Teresa May wouldn't give him top level clearance when he was Foreign Secretary, FGS.

I don't want either Corbyn or Johnson, rock and a hard place.

MaizieD Mon 09-Dec-19 17:50:32

Neither Corbyn nor the Labour party is funded by Hamas or the IRA.

Johnson and the tory party are funded by the Russians

The celeb list is nauseating. who cares what a celeb votes.

people should learn to think, not follow

SirChenjin Mon 09-Dec-19 17:55:41

We have a third option up here and for the first time ever it’s beginning to look quite attractive - I can’t quite believe I’m saying that. It would be ironic (and very sad) if the party of the union were to be the cause of its breakup but I can see that happening if BJ and the extreme right wingers are allowed to continue unchecked.

pinkquartz Mon 09-Dec-19 17:56:44

Opal

why do you think i Support Labour?

You talk out of your backside not me.

You are a Tory therefore you do not care the less fortunate.
Your Govt, has us screwed down tight. NO thanking you
