@@New-ye2fl there is a clear difference in how much/if its really "mugging off", people like to claim labour mugged us off in 1997-2010 when we saw... record lows/near record lows on homeless numbers, nhs waiting, dentist waiting, housing waiting, employment support waiting, disability support waiting, public water contaminations/beach contaminations, government fraud. Meanwhile making minorities into enemies for votes such as the trans community, or trying to stop people voting against them via voter ID laws where its came to light they stopped veteran ID from being used because it could open the door to student IDs being valid, the point of the voter ID is so obviously to stop labour voters. I think I am okay with being mugged off if I dont have to wait half a year to see a doctor on the NHS, wait over a year to see a dentist, have a stable and decent chance of owning my own home.... Tories pretend "its all the same", it isnt, tories steal from the public, openly and happily, the last time the UK saw such rampent abuse of the public was the south sea bubble.

It must be really galling to remainers that they cannot point to any disasters from leaving the EU and that the UK grew faster than Germany in 2023 and will grow faster than Germany this year.

In this case, Castle point is not far from Thurrock, with a large black and Eastern European population, and many of its residents moved there from Newham, Ilford, Barking etc. So they have experienced it and disliked it, and moved to a more "comforting" social bubble.

He said he's been waiting for cancer treatment for three years, my god. I hope he gets it soon.

​@@jedisalsohereYes these are the people who know how bad things have been left! My neighbour waited 5 years for his hip op. Not good is it!

[@theastonvillaseal585]

A Conservative vote is not necessarily support for them, the issue is that Labour is another horrible option that people sadly didn’t realise due to their own delusions.

Canvey Island, thicker than a whale omlette.

I have heard from somebody from Essex that Canvey Island is a sh**hole.

Not as thick as a lefty though.

Quite possibly not - a lot of people vote the way their parents do without question.

They’re not ex-pats. They are immigrants. British people who live in other peoples countries, IMMIGRANTS.

[@simonjess8471]

Some are, some are not. It depends on the individual situation. Most end up back in the UK, making it an extended holiday, not immigration.

[@SurfandTurfJay]

Thank you. I've been an economic migrant for 2 decades all over Asia and Pacific. Sick of this colonial expat nonsense to make them feel superior over "other" economic migrants.

[@simonjess8471]

@@SurfandTurfJay Some are migrants and some are expats. It depends on the reason for being there.

[@aden2957]

Well said.. 👍

[@aden2957]

​@@simonjess8471That's not the point is it.. The fact they went in the first place makes them immigrants in the country they went to.. The fact that some came back again is immaterial. This must be the only country that calls their people ex-pat's.. It's daft.. Just tell it like it is!

Admired the Brexit woman’s honesty. Being able to say you got it wrong shows class.

[@christianfrost8660]

She also admitted to have thought that Boris Johnson could go one sentence without lying, so don't go overboard with your admiration.

[@ffc4life1]

@@christianfrost8660 Oh I’m not. In a constituency where 77% voted Tory, she has more than likely contributed to these problems by voting Tory/UKIP. But we as a country need to stand together for change. We need to kick tories out of safe seats and make our democracy work.

[@ffc4life1]

@RemoanersRtossers I don’t entertain fake accounts.

[@neilhallett2836]

That Carol lady couldn't give a single reason why she like conservatives. 'Boris did well during covid', but how? What specifically did he do that was so special? He bared the stress of dealing with covid, but broke all the rules. I can't think of a single positive thing he delivered. Previously a tory voter but not for the foreseeable future until someone honest comes into power

[@iamrocketray]

Tory governments look after the rich nobs, Corporations, Big Pharma and the upper classes so IF you are NOT one of the above then why are you voting bloody Tory🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😒😒😒😒😒😒🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😎😎

[@Spacemongerr]

And besides breaking the rules, the Tories under Boris didn't actually do well. The UK had a higher death rate from covid than any other western or northern European country. In Europe, only Greece and some of the former East Bloc countries did worse than the UK. All European countries with similar size to UK did better. Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Ukraine and even Russia did better (though Russian numbers should be taken with a grain of salt). Not talking small margins either, UK had a death rate of 150% that of Germany and 350% that of Norway.

[@ZakQuinn-w6h]

It just shows that most of the general public don’t actually know shit and just vote/decide on their party based on media bullocks they’ve been fed

[@GordonBoyland-ux8tx]

HONEST POLITICIAN I YOUR HAVING A LAUGH NEIL.? ARE YOU ON CRACK MATE.

They're listing all the things wrong with country but then saying they'll vote Tory. Who they think have been in charge for the last 14 years and have created/not fixed these issues you're not happy about?! Boggles the mind
