Default Labour's candidate was right!

In 2005 I was approached by the Labour candidate for my constituency.

I told him that I was voting Tory.

“Don’t do that”, he said, “If you do that then the economy will go pear shaped, taxes will go up, services will have to be cut, standards of education will go down, there’ll be thousands of immigrants and millions will be paid to friendly fat cats in the city”.

I did vote Tory.

And do you know? He was right!

But it would have been SO much worse if the Tories were in when this all happened. I mean, they have no idea about economic recovery lol

Most amusing is their constant warning that voting Tory will jeopardise our economic recovery. As though a socialist party is prudent and a conservative party is known for reckless spending a poor financial judgement....

all Labour governments eventually run out of money and all Tory governments eventually dissolve in sleazy sex scandals

I guess it's only one person that's getting ****ed at the end of a Tory government... Unless it has been particularly sleazy

Lets hope it doesn't go tats up and Gordo stays, the scroungers and immigration seekers know what side their bread is buttered so he's guaranteed those votes .
