5 August 2017 21:00332232Anything for votes Howard, although I reckon this particular avenue is already well sown up by the now trendy cult figure of labour's answer to Che Guevara! Thanks in the main to the lefty tutors in our colleges and universities passing on their own words of wisdom to gullible thicko students. I think they used to call it "brainwashing" in China and North Korea?
The conservatives would do better in my opinion to concentrate on not antagonising their core vote and forget about trying to "get down" with the yoof!Jan Higgins likes this - Jan Higgins

5 August 2017 21:18332234Far to much infighting going on with both parties, although Labour have been fairly tame lately so no fun at all.
Could be time for our politicians to realise why they were elected, to be there for us rather than for themselves and their various petty careers and egos.Guest 1881 likes this-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

Have to disagree John as Lord Heseltine recently pointed out core support was dying out literally due to old age whilst socially liberal youngsters were turning 18 year on year and now they actually have cracked how to put an "X" on a ballot paper. The Tories have to get on down with da hood in order to gain new voters, I believe our PM owns a pair of leather trousers which is a start. - John Buckley

6 August 2017 00:29332239Well, if you're right in what you say Howard, then I guess the tories will have to dangle a few carrots the youngsters way in order to sway their vote. Perhaps at the expense of the diminishing elderly the kids will get free tuition fees, after all, what have the sick and old ever done for this country?

It will all depend on what they take it from.
How about doing away with the £10 Christmas bonus for a start which probably costs more than £10 in administration fees and buys B all compared to when it first started.
Having had to help my grandchildren through university just so they could have a proper meal means something has to be done to increase a student's finances, starting off one's adult life with a huge debt is not really a good idea.Guest 1881, Brian Dixon and howard mcsweeney1 like this-----------------------------------------------------------------------
