Hooray - the Conservatives won the election!

You cannot keep posters off any thread.
Why go back in time to the GE
Am guessing the film ( being Ken Loach) is about deprived people.....so, are you hoping to stir up controvesy by this thread? If so, why?

Ooh do we have to pass some sort of selection test? Saying "people who .... please do not post on this thread" is red rag to a bull!
Haven't seen the film, so I was a little discombobulated by the thread title!! Thinking have I been asleep and missed another vote?

I'm pretty sure no one at all posted 'Hooray, the Conservatives won the election' or anything like it on GN!

If it had been Labour that won, there'd have been no containing the gloating posts though.

Just like after the EU referendum, really...

There's already a thread about 'I, Daniel Blake' btw.

Well, I don't know Ana....I may well have done, was so relieved ( and there was no chance this time, but hoped it would be a Tory and Lib Dem coalition again) that Labour didn't get in, just when the economy was doung a little better.

I suppose the OP is asking if those who voted for the Conservative party are still happy with the state of the nation. Seems a reasonable topic for a forum to me.

Shouldn't we be taking this seriously?

Which election are we taking about please?

I think if you have not seen the film, or others by KL, you really are not in a position to comment about it with any kind of real knowledge!

Ana....Noone who voted Conservative would gloat...unlike those who vote Labour????what does that mean.? Conservative voters are noble, honerable and above gloating?..really? Obviously Conservative voters are mich nicer people ......

Presumably the last one where David Cameron lead the Conservative Party to a second victory?

Is that an order Penstemmon?

See, confrontation already! Just what Far North envisaged, no doubt.

No, suzied, but they're usually shouted down on here to such a degree that not many would actually admit to voting Conservative!

Ken Loach has been making social films/ docu dramas since the 60's, since when we have had Labour in power for years as well as Tories.

I haven't seen 'I Daniel Blake' but have seen others by Ken Loach. Does that entitle me to pontificate about the state of the nation Penstemmon...?

No roses not an order at all just an opinion. post what you like about films you have not seen!

Ana you and I often do without seeing any particular film!

I can imagine what the film will be like, but since I am not talking about it Penstemon what you say makes no sense.

Ken Loach has made many good films highlighting the poor and the forgotten about in society, but my point is.. things have only changed slightly, no matter if the Conservatives or Labour was in power.

Sigh...
Yes, some people did say Hooray...etc on GN, after the 2015 general election.
No, I didn't want controversy, confrontation or anything of that sort.
It was a straightforward question : If you supported the Conservatives at the time of the general election and/or you support them now, do you have any comments after seeing the film "I, Daniel Bkake"?

*Blake

This is what you said, Penstemmon, I was just wondering why having seen other films by Ken Loach would mean I was in a position to comment about 'I, Daniel Blake'

Anna- But Labour voters seem equally to be shouted down, non?

I haven't been in the right sort of mood for cinema going lately so I'm glad you've reminded me about the film. Thankfully it's still on at our cinema. Ken Loach came and gave a talk there a couple of years ago. Amazing, lovely man, who's had his fair share of heartache but still cares about other. However, I'm sure that all of the people who voted Conservative are happy at the way the economy is in such safe hands....
