My vote is up for sale to the highest bidder at the next election

[griff]

I reckon Frank’ll be the highest bidder. The rest of us don’t have to bother.

[Psaw]

Vote reform. I wont be voting Tory. I suspect that the Tories have several aces up their sleeves, that the seeming inaction over everything, getting out of the EU, illegal immigration, cutting taxes, Northern Ireland, inflation, etc, these things will be deliberately improved or solved by the next election.

A Tory banner will say, OI, we stopped illegal immigration, told the EU to fk off, sorted Northern Ireland, and inflation is coming down at pace. And it will when energy prices come down, and taxes are low, and will go lower. Weve struck deals with everyone, boom time is coming.

There not stupid.

Youre right Frank, why do you think that taxes are so high? They’re building a huge war-chest of tens of millions of pounds to buy votes at the next election budgets and statements in 2024 will contain lots of sweeteners for the electorate; tax cuts, maybe a cut to VAT and duties on fuel and booze (it won’t last) and possibly a couple of new patrol boats for the Border Force. Money that we’re paying in taxes and is needed now. Why else are they being tough on the Public Sector? They’re an easy target and a cash cow.

[Chauncey]

Excellent

I still laugh at "toughed by sheep" from the glory days of the Cambridge board

[griff]

Aye, aimed at Moorlad mainly.
