He's just been knighted and I'll be interested to see if his election leaflets will be plain David Crausby or Sir David Crausby.
If it's the latter I may give him a miss this time.
I was well impressed when two of my favourite musicians in the past turned down honours, Hank Marvin and David Bowie.
That's another well thought out reason for your vote WW
I think I can guess which way you swing!!
How's the Accord going?

At least they can't claim the usual claims Labour will raise taxes, not that it will now matter!
WW, you have obviously forgotten that VAT was first imposed back in the early 70's as a result of us joining the EU in the first place.
Yes it was but the Tories love to Jack it up as history has shown!

Happy days.

The working class and pensioners are stuffed , this government has more " u turns " than a go Kart track , just watch the tax vat NI increases happen , pensions suffer, the crazy thing is Labour have had 2 years to sort themselves out and failed miserably, " Call me Dave " and " 6 jobs George " got a bloody nose and disappear of into the sunset filling their wallets , meanwhile we have ambulances queuing up outside hospitals and trolleys in corridors,
It's obvious that the " establishment " want us to " remain " and by hook or by crook they will get their way , don't think Brexit will ever happen as we expect it

Don't know what you expect of Brexit? Smacked botties will more than likely be the order of the day!

Tee Hee Hee :eusa4:
So Wormburner any opinion on the Tories not promising not to increase taxes or even to protect pensions.
Or is that not worth your awesome intellect.

Perhaps the real reason for the Election is the facility to remove the no tax and ni increases from the current manifesto to appease the slightly moral in the Tory party? After all the raise in taxes will go some way to recompense any cost and financial shortcomings of Brexit?
Maggie May covering her back again against any personal blame for our Brexit diet?
It's interesting that Trump will talk to EU before UK for trade. Talk to 650 million folk rather than 65 million first, seems quite logical for once for him!

Just as a matter of interest, and on the subject of pensioners. Does anyone realise what the minimum income guarantee is for pensioners, as opposed to people of working age?

yes joy the party that broke a promise to not hold an election will most likely win the election they only called to overshadow the fraud investigation and because they have no real opposition currently....
