Get the Labour lot out.
We have had 5 months of Hell since they came into
Power.
Too think that the Conservatives done less damage to
the country in 14 years than Labour done in 14 years.
As inarticulate and ranty as ever
Some people don’t like to hear the truth.
Who wants that shit show back in there. The only way they stayed in for so long last time was because the the rich gits and all those they weren’t affecting kept voting them back in. Now wev’e got an even bigger shit show who are hell bent on pissing on the boots of the only ones who are working and bringing revenue into the country, and all those who worked for 50 years doing it, and those keeping us fed. When are we going to get some one in there who has got the savvy to know what a workman is and show some respect for him?
From what I have seen most workman are
Uneducated Numpty’s.
Many work cash in hand / don’t declare their
earnings, no wonder this Labour Government
are making us pensioners go without our
Winter Fuel allowances due to rogue builders.
Such a shame people working don’t pay their
way and it them affects us pensioners who have
worked and paid into the system for 50 years.
And you (evidently uneducated, who can’t even spell) continue spewing out the same old git tripe – now against workmen and builders. How about getting angry with all the hedge fund managers, Apple, Google, Amazon, Starbucks etc etc. How about all the dodgy contracts given away by Osborne, Johnson et al? You voted for them… get over it. Go for a walk and look after your blood pressure.
Never voted Tory in my life.
Sadly everyone seems to be on the fiddle thesedays,
no wonder our winter fuel money was stopped.
Worked 50 years and paid into the system,
was it worth it.
Well, despite the Tory efforts we do still have an NHS, so yes, it was.
