With how the Tory government apparently selectively allocate funding to Tory-held councils this is at least partially true.

For the goon who asked about the million vs billion divide, a million seconds will put you forward 11 days while a billion is 31 years.

I'm convinced that there's some working class Tories who cargo cult themselves this way.

Tories are rich rural people, Labour are rural povvos and urban types.

Therefore I should vote Tory for a better chance of having a nice house in the country.

Or if you earned £5000 per day, every day, starting 15 April 2019 you would have a million pounds.

if you earned £5000 every day since the day Columbus landed in America, you would not have a billion.

People really, really don't have a grasp on how big it is.

Come to think of it, it might be a good idea for the OP to contain a general reminder to keep good care of your own mental health as a top priority. The election period is going to be stressful for a lot of people and it can often feel like you're obliged to pay attention to all the bad stuff that's happening and go above and beyond your own capacity for doing stuff to help, but wearing yourself out and ruining your own mental health isn't actually a good thing to do or to aim for. it's okay to switch off for a while and come back stronger. something along those lines, maybe put some numbers to helpines, even.

This - please remember to take care of yourselves everyone.

The next month or so is going to be an absolute emotional rollercoaster, regardless of the result. We've got off to a really promising start so far, but even so there have been some scary moments (like lovely poll results, the rumours the Brexit Party would only target Labour marginals, etc). I found myself constantly refreshing the BBC live updates page the other day as I was unable to think about anything else. Its not healthy - don't do it.

There is so much at stake that there are bound to be further massive highs and depressing lows, no matter what happens on 12 Dec. I would encourage all of you to make sure you are taking enough time away from politics over the next month to avoid damage your own emotional wellbeing/mental health.

Sanford posted:

Goes directly against their stated aims though. Can anyone name a Lib Dem policy other than “stop brexit”? Best way to achieve that is by not standing candidates in marginal labour seats with a strong remain vote, where they themselves have no chance of winning. Tbh I think it would be good for them; start rebuilding some of the trust that was so badly betrayed with the coalition.

Does not compute.
Everyone should trust Pissbot because it is stretching its face analogue and exposing its cutting tools.
Pissbot has done nothing wrong.

I'm really just hoping that the Lib Dems just repeat the 2017 campaign all over again, only talking about Brexit but then get asked something about policy and after just replying about Brexit finally come out with something bollocks like the 1p NHS tax.

I know it's gauche to quote yourself, but that isn't going to stop me. At the end of the last thread I posted a question that was ignored because I posted it at the end of the last thread for the purposes of irony so that when most people saw it the thread would be locked:

If the UKMT was locked and only Guavanaut or Pissflaps could start a new one, who would you vote for?

But there's a better poll on this matter right now. Go vote in that :D

My Conservative MP won with a majority of over 16,000 in my constituency in 2017 so there will be no significant splitting of the vote by the Brexit Party. It's hard to get motivated about voting when your constituency is a foregone conclusion.

Get the momentum app and find your closest marginal and get campaigning! If you have to live under a tory oval office at least make sure he's miserable due to being in opposition

Then don't get motivated about the effect you won't have in your constituency.

Just tick the Labour box, put your vote in the post, and go campaign elsewhere.

Could someone write something for this, I don't know any of the good numbers and the Establishment NHS frowns upon my personal thoughts.
