British people of SYG: please DO NOT vote for Cameron.
 
Seriously. You'll be the death of us all.

I realise that most of you don't live in the same constituency as Cameron. That's immaterial. Any vote for the Tories is a vote for the destruction of all that is good and just in this world.

HE WILL KILL US ALL GIVEN HALF A CHANCE.

This is not a pro-Labour or Lib Dem post; this is an assertion that Cameron is the single most vile individual extant.

This article has disturbed me quite a lot.

Derek 05.05.2010 03:01 PM

Who do you plan to vote for Glice?

Glice 05.05.2010 03:04 PM

My vote is based on the constituency I'm in. I've always been told it's not polite to talk about your voting intentions. I am in a resolutely non-Tory seat though, so I'm relatively lucky. I will say there's not a hope in hell of my voting Tory.

Are you UK-based then? I always thought you were in the states.

radarmaker 05.05.2010 03:06 PM

I suspect there's only one person here who's likely to vote Tory, and this thread will have zero impact there.
I 100% concur with the sentiment though.

Derek 05.05.2010 03:11 PM

Glice, I'm from Scotland. I won't be old enough to vote till next year though.

Oh and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u16TZGJnqh8

I suspect you're right, but there are a few closet Tories about. Scum.

There's a few younger people here, and they tend to be the lowest turn-out. So I'm going to drop the whole "Oh, it's the internet" thing for a second and say, quite seriously, that it's really, really important that the young 'uns get out and vote.

I read that article earlier today. Scarey stuff indeed.

I shall be voting Labour in a town that has had a Tory MP for as long as I've been old enough to vote.

radarmaker 05.05.2010 03:17 PM

I'm fortunate to have never lived anywhere under a Tory MP, it's always been solid red. Newcastle East is tipped to go yellow this time though, along with a few others in Tyne & Wear.

Derek 05.05.2010 03:21 PM

As far as I'm aware Tories barely ever win any seats in Scotland anyway. It's been mainly Labour and SNP dominating my country.

Lurker 05.05.2010 03:40 PM

I definitely won't be voting Tory. That article is terrifying.

fuck, we're doomed.

i'm the only person in my department at work (which to be fair is only 4 people, but still) who isn't going to vote tory tomorrow. one of the people in my department is gay, it boggles my mind that a gay person would vote for the tories.

knox 05.05.2010 04:04 PM

you are fucked. so sad.

There's a gay fella I know who keeps posting pro-Tory things on facetwat. It's quite distressing.

Are you fleeing? Have you fled?

SonicBebs 05.05.2010 04:13 PM

yeah i saw that article today too, fucked up
trouble is, labour have fucked up enough and fucked off enough people that i really think the torries will get in. But I'm just as scared that labour might stay in and get away with all the shit thats gone on.

I'm not saying I agree or disagree but would be interested to know what you mean by this.

What if your vote got lost in the post?

Pookie 05.05.2010 05:43 PM

Twattery.

space 05.05.2010 06:28 PM

gay rights = closeted conservatives?

Lurker 05.05.2010 06:34 PM

I agree with Nick.

demonrail666 05.05.2010 06:46 PM

Nick agrees with me.

Lurker 05.05.2010 06:48 PM

...I agree with...David.

jon boy 05.05.2010 07:29 PM

Toilet & Bowels 05.06.2010 03:44 AM

well, stuff like taking (tricking) the country into war, killing civil servants who could prove they tricked us, invading Afganistan, fucking up the economy while making me (and you?) pay for the banks greed, employing a senior officer to advise on his specialist area and then sack him when the truth doesn't fit your spin, pretending to be labour (left wing) when really they're just torries in disguise. That kinda thing

labour are far from ideal and a bit right wing, but not half as bad as the tories. and most of the things you mentioned would have happened under the tories anyway, but worse.

I agree with T&B, they're not perfect.

But this statement from you tells me you're not worth having a discussion with.

Twat.

I would like to extend this advice to all the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Regardless of what turd Cameron drops at the cinemas following Avatar, by all means: please DO NOT vote for Cameron.

The war that Labour backbenchers tried to revolt against, but found that it was passed with Tory co-operation (and was only seriously resisted by LD)? The think tank headed by a senior Tory which recommended going into Iraq on the basis of false information about WMDs?

Economy would've been fucked anyway (you can't predict a recession, you can only react to it), but putting money into the banks from public funds rather than leaving it to the markets to continue raping it (the Tory line) makes more sense to me (although I'd agree more stringent caps on things like pensions are needed)

We all live with national minimum wage now, something that again the Tories would leave to the markets to decide (and we've all read Das Kapital, we know what happens when markets are left to their own devices). Not 'left' left-wing, but certainly left of the Tories.

Senior adviser bit I've got nothing on, but it's hardly privatising everything in sight and steamrollering over trade unions, is it?

Glice 05.06.2010 04:49 AM

tl;dr - Labour might be cunts, but don't be fooled into thinking they're somehow the same as the Tories.

radarmaker 05.06.2010 04:52 AM

Is it too early to start drinking heavily?

Glice 05.06.2010 05:03 AM

Never. Especially if you're in Geordieland.

recessions are an inevitable part of our economy so blaming anyone is kind of beside the point, but just to make things clear it was the tories who started the derugulation of the banks in the first place.

NB. that isn't really an FYI for Glice, more of an addition to what he was saying.
