'Money trees' and a 'Letter to Santa' spring to mind. Out now with some Tory chums ! Edited by Willo (03 Jun 2017 7.35pm) From the telegraph

A poll in Scotland (can't find the link but it's out there somewhere) puts Labour third, with trending support going to the Conservatives, making a small inroad into SNP and a much larger one into Labour. If Labour can't regain Scotland and with their flaccid response to the London attack, I think we can confidently predict it'll be lights out for Corbyn come Friday morning. Being a bit cynical, I'd argue that May flouted the agreed cessation of national campaigning in her speech today.

If she (the Prime Minister, by the way) had said nothing, you'd have accused her of hiding. Damned if she does etc. If your treasonable rabble can't make inroads in Scotland (which they won't), I suspect you're going to be a heartbroken bunny next Friday. They won't even need to count the Tory votes, just weigh them.

We are talking about the Tories, who have no costsed manifesto, right? We have set out our spending plans in the budget and various budget statements.We don't deal in 'Fantasy economics' like Corbyn and his comrades. At the end of the day they have pledged £48Billion, saying that 5% of the population will see an increase in taxes.And they will hit businesses with a significant increase in 'Corporation taxes', businesses which generate jobs and wealth ! And you talk of "Uncosted" pledges - only last week, on top of the £48Billion, Labour announced a further £9Billion in uncosted pledges.They must think we are all born yesterday. To stop me from getting on my political 'Soapbox' I think I will leave it at this on this thread else it will turn into another tedious WILLO thread.Both my wife and daughter are sick to the back teeth of seeing me on this 'Soapbox' and they cannot wait for the election to be over.

And do we ever stop bombing the places where these terrorists were born and trained? Even when the Manchester bomber was sent to Libya to fight in these wars, even when MI6 tells us of the link between terrorism and our foreign policy? No, the military industrial complex rolls on, unscathed, even when it is a clear contributor to these actions!

It is only fair and apart from anything else they have the money. What escapes me, is why you think companies will hang around to be fleeced by communist-lites like you. As for 'it is only fair', fair to whom? Then what do you do when you have spent the money on various socialist projects doomed to failure? Don't tell me, you will start rounding up the enemies of the people who you will say are responsible for the failures.

Yeah but it's the same old s*** isn't it? A terrorist attack happens, the PM comes out and announces political action in response, but all it amounts to is a further restriction on our civil liberties, which are already being eroded, despite no evidence this will prevent terrorist acts. And do we ever stop bombing the places where these terrorists were born and trained? Even when the Manchester bomber was sent to Libya to fight in these wars, even when MI6 tells us of the link between terrorism and our foreign policy? No, the military industrial complex rolls on, unscathed, even when it is a clear contributor to these actions! Who sent him?

Corporations have armies of people employed solely for the purpose of evading tax. People who think they must be paying tax do not understand them. Not only do they pay no tax at all they are lobbying for concessions all the time. 'Never give a sucker an even break'. That's how they operate.

Just out of interest, what's your contribution to society been, other than to provide entertainment and astonishment at your stupidity on a football fan site? What have you done to make people's lives better?
