Everyone I speak to thinks he is an honest person whether they agree with his policies or not however they don't see him as a leader.

In this day and age image is important and his image is not of someone who would stand up to the likes of Angela Merkel in our Brexit negotiations.

The media has a lot to do with it as they have decided he is unsuitable and most people still believe what they read in the papers.

That said I will be voting Labour this time (first time for a long time) because a Tory landslide victory would be a very dangerous thing indeed!

Its a shame really, that what someone will do is less important than what people think of them.

This is my point. Ironically, her politics is more representative of what people want now than Labour's. The chav has a voice and is entitled to be represented. See what happens in France tomorrow...

Thatcher's legacy of me, me, me!

I think people want to see a reversal of the decline of the UK basically.

The decline that has been in large part down to the wealth gap between the super rich and half the population on very low wages that has been promoted and escalated by the Conservatives you mean?

I'm talking about the points I made in my original post and the questions I asked. Answer them.

What do people want ?
We wanna be free!
We wanna be free to do what we wanna do.
And we wanna get loaded.
And we wanna have a good time.
And that’s what we are gonna do.
We are gonna have a good time…
We are gonna have a party.


Unfortunately, it might not be the party you want.

This used to be available in Sainsbury's, although they had none last time I went there - it was still available in Tesco at that time, however.

It is a huge pity, actually a mega fcuking disaster, that none of the parties have any idea how to tackle any of the above.

This is why we will always be in danger


Law 1: Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation

Law 2: The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person

Law 3. A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses

Law 4: Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people always turns out to be a costly mistake

Law 5: A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person.

A shame then that the Conservative Government have legalised spying on your Internet activities and telephone calls and texts by 50+ different organisations including the local authority

One thing we can be thankful of: the infrastructure required to actually achieve this is basically impossible to setup and maintain. To backdoor any encryption, log every single connection made by a user, etc would take storage measured in units we haven't even started working with yet. Not to mention the processing power required too.

I hate the entire concept, and sure I have nothing to hide, but it will absolutely end up being hacked at some point and then my browsing history is on the web. No thanks.

Thankfully, Tories gonna Tory and have no idea how complex this would be to implement. It'll probably drag along as a project for years with no real headway being made, until eventually it's dropped completely.

They actually don't have to do it

The Americans are already storing absolutely everything the internet does

Everything

A zero and a one for always and forever

What the Conservatives do want to introduce that is new is the permanent and constant 'live' surveillance of everything we do on the Internet.

All of us


This is new and as yet not officially happening ......

Ah yes that's the one, forgot about the NSA. It's early and I'm not awake properly yet.

Not sure if the NSA store absolutely everything though? Don't they keyword filter things?
