They were all moaning about public services, closing libraries, NHS, potholes etc. etc. I asked how they were going to vote, they all said "Conservative". I said, "Why would you vote for them if you're so unhappy about your public services and they've been in for nearly 10 years."
      Their eyes glazed over and they went back to their cake. Like talking to a group of cattle.

There are plenty of outlets where anyone, with a mind too, can check out the pro’s and con’s of what is on offer which can be constructively used to make a truly informed decision about not only the future of the county, but their own future too.

    They are desperate to get as many candidates thru the finish line in 1st place is their priority.

    Hearing that focus group should be a huge wake up call for us all. That level of understanding of the issues (and reasoning) is probably far more representative than a lot of us can bear to admit. The worst of it is, I cannot begin to work out how to address the problem.

    Why can’t the country that produced such masters of the English language as William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Jacob Rees-Mogg, and Piers Morgan come up with the name of a scandal that doesn’t have the suffix “gate” in it? If you did, it would be brilliant! Watergate is fifty years old and not even
    British. In the United States , we had a scandal called “Teapot Dome,” but none of the scandals after that had “dome” in their names.
