Nice work
What's she doing parking off road like that. Look at the state of that grass now.
Typical Tories. One law for them, another for the rest of us.

Thing is Bruce. Your lot are in denial. 1.6m kids living in poverty. Up 400k since the coalition formed, despite the Child Povert Act committing our country to reduce the figures by 100k/yr with a view to erradication around 2020. As @Clint Planet posted, the Tories have gone further than denial and are making false claims that they are reducing the numbers. The facts are irrefutable.
My tribe is trying to do something about the situation so that everyone has enough to get by. Your tribe is going to make it tougher for those who's lives are already extremely difficult.
On this issue, by comparison, my tribe is great and your tribe does suck.

I dont see a bounce, I see a levelling effect.
It'll take the campaign off the front pages for a day or two and therefore cut right across the Tory media's planned last few days assault on behalf of their bosses at Conservative HQ.
In other words, it'll pretty much cement in place the existing neck and neck race for Number 10.
Knock yourself out. If it helps you to enjoy your weekend.

My girlfriend got asked to help out in one a month or so ago for work , help in the community type scheme, she works in a bank.
She was truly shocked at the reality of what she saw, lots of working people and loads of people who had been sanctioned on benefits , not going to meeting despite not getting contacted seemed to be a common one or failing to apply for the correct benifit so having to apply and wait with nothing .
People want to open there eyes , I have worked for 30 odd years solid but like most could be a phone call or a letter from being out there scrounging as some put it ,

OK. How about we put it this way. What are the Conservatives doing to address issues of inequality in society, rising child poverty, the increase of the use of food banks and the increasing numbers of people losing their homes?
Since when did GDP take priority over humanity?
Whilst you're reflecting on the fact that your lot have done nothing constructive for the poor, are responsible for the misery of hundreds of thousands, and WILL make things worse for them, I hope you have a great weekend too.
Not really Bruce they missed that front wheel panel out, to daft to even vandalise properly,Nice work

Utter Cad.
Bruce's pattern of behaviour on this thread:
Be all over the thread, fighting for libetarianism and the freedom to have the chance to escape poverty and be free, posting links to thinktank studies which confirm his position > be confronted by a hypothetical situation and/or fact which doesn't fit his model > laugh it off with "jokey" comment > be confronted again > retreat to batcave for a day or two > re-emerge, attempting moral highground with "I'm above this tribal rubbish" for a while > be all over thread, fighting for libetarianism and the freedom to have the chance to escape poverty and be free, posting links to thinktank studies which confirm his position > be confronted by a hypothetical situation and/or fact which doesn't fit his model > laugh it off with "jokey" comment > be confronted again > retreat to batcave for a day or two > re-emerge, attempting moral highground with "I'm above this tribal rubbish" for a while > be all over thread, fighting for libetarianism and the freedom to have the chance to escape poverty and be free, posting links to thinktank studies which confirm his position > be confronted by a hypothetical situation and/or fact which doesn't fit his model > laugh it off with "jokey" comment > be confronted again > retreat to batcave for a day or two > re-emerge, attempting moral highground with "I'm above this tribal rubbish" for a while > be all over thread, fighting for libetarianism....etc

In fairness Bruce, why are you surprised to see people posting in support of certain parties and expressing discontent at other parties on the General Election thread with less than a week to the General Election?
