More Tory Lies

[gulliver1]

Unemployment Down , Wages Up, More, Tory Lies Up.

//I think the best method to attack the tories is to discus and debate austerity and starter homes.//

So the topic under debate here, then, has been quietly ditched since the accusation of "Tory Lies" was established to be simply, er… lies.

//Love this thread one of my best Ever.//

Nice to see you're so easily amused. Post up some more rubbish and I'll see what I can do to demolish it - if I'm not too busy.

[Mamyalynne]

That wasn't addressed to you Spath.

I responded too quickly, Mamy.

Sorry DD.

A very good afternoon to all the members of the "Gulliver and Diddlydo Fan Club"
New members are more than Welcome , you can now register on line.

[Gromit]

If you are supporting Labour, then you do that cause no help by picking an argument that you are bound to lose because you couldn’t be bothered to look up the true figures.
An easily preventable own goal.

[spathiphyllum]

You better not steal any of my fans, my threads would never get rolling if you took away some of my best and brightest.

Don't let that stop him getting the wrong end of the stick again.
He's been jumping about like an excited puppy leaving his mess about him since he has found his two new found friends. :-(

Worst. Club. Ever.

[spathiphyllum]

Me gulliver and didlly may be categorised together, but i'd rather be in that gang that the upper crust toffs who lurk in the AB hallways.

//"You have been proven to be entirely wrong"

No i haven't.//

I think you have:

//10:27 - How the tories assess unemployment is warped. If you work 1 hour a week they class you as employed. They did this new scheme to get the numbers down without actually doing *** all.//

The Tories don’t assess it. The ONS measures it. The Tories don’t class someone like that as employed, the international standard of 1982 does. It is not a new scheme.

//10:35 - It's not "rubbish"

If you think picking up half a day’s work a fortnight is interpreted as being in work then you'd be a conservative.

I think that ideology is shocking.//

Clearly it [your 10:27 post] is rubbish (see above). It not an ideology, it is an internationally agreed method of measurement, 37 years old and nothing to do with the Tories, either now or in the past.

Your remarks at 10:39 and 10:52 I dealt with in my earlier post.

I agree (as I said) that classing people who work so few hours is not very helpful for many purposes (though I couldn't suggest what hours of work should qualify for someone to be "employed"). I also repeat that I do not believe there are too many people working just one hour a week. But that isn’t the issue. The issue is that Gulliver posted this under “Tory Lies” and you have attempted to perpetuate that assumption. What you have said to support it has been comprehensively shown to be rubbish. Best to stop digging and retire gracefully from this one.

Which "upper crust toffs" would these be then and how do you define an "upper crust toff"?

I am a little wary, as I have already been kicked out of Spicer's fanclub, as the only member.... but you lot are very funny... so I may apply .

//how do you define an "upper crust toff"?//

Now that’s interesting. I recall asking here what the opposite of a ‘toff’ is and having never received a satisfactory answer concluded it must be a ffot. Note the posh double-f. We toffs are fond of those. ;o) 

[spathiphyllum]

"Which "upper crust toffs" would these be then and how do you define an "upper crust toff"?"

It's less a case of a user being an upper class toff, and more a case of a style of attitude.

I think you need to expand a little because I haven't the first clue what you're getting at.

[spathiphyllum]

Some users on here are die hard conservative voters and you can tell. For example, I started a thread about the fact that the 2015 affordable housing promise was completely ignored, the thread soon turned onto Spath and his profession rather than any political discussion. It's that attitude, the.. Who cares what 'they' do, when Jeremy, or you do / have done this/ fail to live by these means.
