It says I'm angry at the fact that the country has been gas lighted into thinking Boris and his party are the ones to sort out the extremely large pile of poo they've created through a decade of austerity. Irvin Welsh has said it best "If you're thinking of voting for this c*** (Boris), I seriously hope you have a ton of money. Cause if not, you're a ducking idiot"... Being angry in general and hating the Conservative party is fine. Disliking people because they hold a different opinion to you just makes you a bigot. Not a good look.

My family are all voting a different way to me, but it doesn't make me think any less of them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke about the selling off of the NHS, and how would they feel if I couldn't afford treatment for their own grand children. They just shrugged their shoulders and said they'd be long gone by then... I was raised by gammons!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their political views is a perfectly good reason, it seems to me. My cousin is a bone fide neo nazi. I don't like him. Simple. It doesn't make me a bigot.

If they're extreme right, then I think that's more than fair. Having enough hatred for one of the two main parties, that you fall out and harbour dislike for people who vote for them though, that doesn't sit right with me. It's almost entitlement. It's the ugly side effect of elections, I can't stand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtains Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 The hate in this thread is awful. But hey I have broad shoulders and I’m voting Tory. I respect if others want to vote a different way. I won’t be happy if the vote goes against me but that’s democracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they have the moral and intellectual high ground etc. Anyone who votes leave is a racist ,doesn't know what they voted for,tell you what I'll piss myself laughing if the Tories get in and tell the E.U it's no deal.
