I like the Tories. Since they have been in power I am a lot happier with the way the country is run. I thought labour were to soft on benefits. Since they have been in power, I have managed to buy a house, get promoted and start a family. My little boy was born with a poorly heart and was fixed pretty quickly so I have no qualms with the nhs.
The country needs to make cuts and I believe they are being made in the right places as they havnt effected me and have improved my life significantly
That's quite impressive for a Government that's only been let loose for 3 months.
In which time they've launched an assault on Freedom of Information Act:

Jeremy Hunt received a petition of no confidence that blitzed 200 THOUSAND people in DAYS (created by a Dr, supported by swathes of NHS staff and hashtag #ImInWorkJeremy that trended over and over again:
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/104334
They've also been accused a cover up of fraud (make your own mind up of course):

Someone wrote a lovely book of what he liked to get up to (whilst allegedly calling everyone who gets on buses "peasants":

Plus Osborne's economics "PLAN" was based on FLAWED FIGURES - He's actually INCREASED debt by DOUBLE. He's also slammed here by a Tory economist:

Here by a Nobel winning economist as a "deficit fetishism":

Or perhaps here, when Osborne SLAMS Labour for... underspending and promised "Green Taxes"
Of course, now Osborne's actually removed the exemption so the CLIMATE LEVY (yes, for Green Fuel), now applies to GREEN FUELS.
What a clever man he is!
Oh and apparently Fracking gets tax breaks? *but you can research that, I got that first hand from someone who should really know*
As for their benefits tripe, if you care for some real figures rather than media drip fed nonsense:

The Tories are absolutely diabolical. It annoys me when people fall for the nonsense in the press. By all means, people should support who they like - but it's incumbent upon us when we're supporting people who affect EVERYONE ELSE, not just ourselves, in the UK as a collective (which we are, whether people like it or not, & without that recognition, the UK will fall apart or turn in on itself - so much is quite self evident) - that we understand exactly WHAT we are supporting.
The Tories belong in the Victorian age.
OH! And just to finish. Here's some thoughts on Cameron's EU "negotiations"
http://www.breitbart.com/london/201...ent-with-french-to-win-says-ex-tory-minister/
And look up some serious stuff on what happens if we vote no, and the negotiations he'd have to deal with lol!
This is the worst political party I can remember. How they're getting away with all this God ONLY knows.
Oh, and Labour weren't soft on welfare either. Neither did they run huge deficits (they're run MORE surpluses than the Tories to my recollection - easy checked) - I am by no means their biggest fan, but I hate false narrative with an absolute passion.
(Been a while since I did a "war and peace" on here lol)
Anyway, I hope you find all that interesting, and realise your fortune's got bugger all to do with the Tories.
I'm glad your lad was OK also by the way! But if you like the NHS, find a party that supports it properly & doesn't want to *as it appears* ultimately turn into a paid private system.
