General Election (8th June, 2017)

[downbeatplumb]

I recently became a paying member of the Conservative Party and it looks like they will be getting my vote. They are certainly far from perfect but it is necessary to help prevent Corbyn from getting in. Sometimes you just have to bite the bullet, as they say..

I am not a big fan of Corbyn and believe that with any other leader Labour would be romping it in because the tories poor policies have wrecked our economy in a way that has personally seen me become much worse off thorough a combination of austerity and tanking the value of the pound. For example food items from abroad which is most fruit and vegetables have suddenly gone up in cost WAY above the level of inflation.

I'm in Purdah at the moment so can't tell you exactly where I work, but when the tories came in we had undergone a "lean" exercise which was to pair done costs to the bear minimum in all ways including staffing, so we had just enough people to do our core taskin.

The tories ordered us to get rid of 20% more people without looking at anything just get rid.
They then came back and said get of of 30% which we're in the middle of.

So we have many less people than is needed to carry out our core tasking, getting rid of more and we are on the verge of not being able to do our tasks because the band aid solutions have all run out and the things that could be put off can't be put off anymore.

I see the tories are now calling for the general election to be postponed. Running scared of terrorists or running scared of Labour?
