Subject: RE: BS: Time to choose on June 8th-UK Elections
This is what happens when you vote if you're one of those who nobody can tell anything except what's already ideologically-fixed in your head. You get promised that the NHS will get £350 million a week that you won't get. You get promised subsidies for farmers that match EU subsidies that farmers won't get. You get promised control over our borders that you won't get because more than half of immigrants come from outside the EU anyway and we can't do without most of the ones who do come from the EU. You get promised that you'll get a really good trade deal that you won't get. You get promised a cheap brexit which you won't get because we'll get no deal at all unless we pay a huge exit fee. You get promised that winter fuel payments and the triple lock will get nobbled which you won't get because of a grubby deal with a bunch of sectarian backwoodsmen (with apologies to John if he's listening in). Jeremy Corbyn gets ridiculed for having a magic money tree then the Tories - guess what! - find a magic money tree to buy off the DUP shitbags with a massive bung. That's what you get when you declare that you don't need anybody to tell you stuff. You get taken for a ride by a party that acts solely in its own self-interest. What you won't get is any of the things you were expecting to get.
