Conservative's Spending Plans - Fully Costed

[aggi]

Am I the only one struggling to find this? Doesn't really seem to be much of substance in the manifesto, is there a separate document somewhere or are they sticking with the policy of doing the bare minimum and hoping that "strong and stable" will do enough?

There's a lot of guff. By taking away free school meals for youngsters they'll be adding £400 a year per child to ordinary families' bills. Had Labour come out with this they would be all over it asking; 'where's the money coming from?'

The first photograph would make a fine caption competition though.

Don't waste your life overthinking on this forum, there will be plenty of Theresa May muff sniffers on here to make you realise that we are so lucky to have her rule over and ruin us for the next 5 years ,and beyond ....

Fully costed my arse.

Reports all across the media (except the Daily Mail) that the plan to take away free school meals and replace them with a free breakfast have been underestimated at £60m. After researching the proposal thoroughly experts are now saying that the actual cost could be as much as £180m rising to £400m.

There's no such thing as a free breakfast.

They're incompetent.

Its looking like they called the election thinking that the massive lead would be all they need, but as an election means politics becomes the main news story, all the other parties started to get a lot more coverage.

I still think they will win, but the landslide they want probably won't happen.

Personally I would love the result to be exactly the same as last time. Shame it won't happen.

Steal from the poor, the old, the young, to give to the rich so they have more time for their sport....killing foxes. Don't get conned by the media- poodles of the nasty party.

Killing foxes is a good thing. Especially in towns, but also in the countryside. Vote for the party that kills foxes, not fior the party that thiks they're cute and fubsy and loveable.

Erm...

Supporters of fox hunting claim that the number of foxes killed has increased since the Hunting Act came into force...

So you're saying we should vote Labour?

May muff sniffers!!!!! Replacement for strong and stable perhaps!?

Let's not.

[AndrewJB]

That undercosting goes beyond incompetence. It's a complete lack of respect for the voting public. Was it the Spitting Image that lampooned this trait? Where they knock on doors and call people 'stupid'?

[dsr]

Erm...

Tough choice, isn't it?

The hunts conserve foxes (though not all of them, obviously); the farmers kill them. If the hunts don't need foxes, they let the farmers kill them, so the countryside runs short of foxes; while the 150,000 or so urban foxes (which don't look lie rats, so have a cute-and-cuddly reputation) can continue their short and fairly wretched lives.
