Sith Happens Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 53 minutes ago, Curtains said: What a silly position. A bit like Corbyns Brexit position. You could inadvertently get the party in power you don’t want. I Why? By voting for who i want to win? To be honest i think some of your posts are more damaging towards the tories. Suggesting John Major was a loser despite winning a general election no one expected him to, taking an economy that was in shreds and leaving it in a healthy position for Blairs government, and dont forget his part in the good friday agreement.

My advice would be to ignore Curtains in this thread. There are a lot of posters here who I don't agree with but at least put forward coherent and intelligent arguments. IMO Curtains is not here to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 12 minutes ago, AndyinLiverpool said: It is true. I had no credit rating. I had a bank account and a credit card that I never use. Never taken out a loan and never incurred debt of any kind beyond borrowing money off friends to go out etc. Couldn't get a mortgage. Had to take out HP on some furniture we could have bought outright in order to get a credit rating. Absolutely insane. Ended up not getting a mortgage but borrowing it from a whole bunch of family members. How long ago was that though? My girlfriend moved to this country 4 years ago and had a credit score 2 years ago when we started looking for a mortgage. She had zero historical debt, no credit cards, not registered to vote, etc. We jointly paid for our rented accommodation (it was my name on the bills and I was the one directly paying them), she opened up a bank account, and had a phone contract. Yet she had a (good) credit score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, that’s all very well Mr Johnson, as was all that silly nonsense about the supposed attack on a tory aide in Leeds… but to get back to the original question - what was it about that picture of a 4 year old child being treated on a hospital floor for pneumonia that you so desperately wanted to avoid?

It was the surreptitious theft of the journalists phone that I found the most telling. Then the sheepish looks as the journo mentions it on camera and he realised he had actually just stolen he guy's property and it wasn't a good look. Do we really deserve politicians who think nothing of swiping a journalist's phone mid-interview just because things are getting awkward? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terribly sorry to bring up the NHS again rather than the stuff you'd like to discuss but the above post rather demands a response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
