I'm sure you can afford to put that off

[Mr Mystery]

All done - and it helps with the old credit scoring to be registered where I say I live, yeah?

So much easier to do it all online!

So currently, Labour is borderline unelectable imo based on living in a labour stronghold where traditional labour voters are openly considering who else to vote for, possibly for the first time ever.
And we're sat here watching Jeremy Hunt possibly do the thing that might push the Tories more than anything else to the same position.

Then wtf would happen at the next election?

Urghhh Jeremy *unt really, really gets on my wick. I don't know how he has kept his job in the cabinet tbh, seeing as most the other cabinet politicians with policies that openly failed got shuffled out into the back benches and replaced with less controversial figures (who then maintained the same policies once everyone had forgotten about them). Like Owen Patterson after the whole badger cull fiasco.

at least we don't have Trump. you would have to be a special kind of idiot to vote for him.

[Haighus]

Indeed, very true. I'm glad we don't have the American health-care system either. Not yet anyway...

He's probably got something on call me dave I mean blair kept brown as chancellor till he stepped down, and there was certainly no love lost there by the end.

please don't scare me like that my better half wouldn't survive that sort of system.

[Haighus]

Hmm, very true.

Yeah, I think it would kill a lot of people- means-based healthcare rationing is just not ethical. I couldn't work in the US system, whatever the pay.

[Asymmetrical Xeno]

I've barely survived the tory government and it's surprising that I've made it this far, stuff like that terrifies me also as I doubt I'd make it.
