The young and the old
- 9 June 2017 05:13329819After being up all night seeing it happen ,it was easy to see where the blues got it all wrong,she turn her back on the O.A,P, and the young voters,and in doing that it cost the blues a outright win ,the young turned out to vote because of the cost of going to a university,and the old like myself did not turnout to vote because she was taking to much off us ,heating,TV,etc, then she lost a lot of votes because making nurse,s pay for their own training,and asking them to carry on working to pay it back ,so they will be working for nothing.Mrs May was bad when she was the boss of the home office ,cutting the police by 20.000 and custom officrs etc,and she got it wrong as a PM,she should now go .

Many young and many old were outraged that they would no longer get loads of free stuff paid for by someone else. Pathetic."The world is still a weird place, despite my efforts to make clear and perfect sense of it".

Clearly, he was going to take the opportunity to solve the Departmental headache of social care provision - particularly so given a landslide was assured. Normally, that would have come out during any internal scrutiny phase - but evidently, there wasn't one!howard mcsweeney1 likes this

One could also add because the above was ignored by the insular short sighted few that was why Tory votes were lost.Brian Dixon, Guest 649 and howard mcsweeney1 like this-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.
