What am I thinking? I’m thinking is there any level the Conservative Party will not stoop to to try and win more votes.
I’m thinking they’re a bunch of absolute cunts.
I’m thinking a great deal but if I expand on all the reasons why nobody should vote for the fucked up Tories I’ll be here all day (and then some).

Another level of discrimination from the lying tory party, perhaps you gov should have another vote, should ministers and there advisors be allowed second homes, should minsters be allowed to claim massive expenses, should ministers travel first class, should ministers have subsidied food and drinks, should they have above pay scale rises every year and should they have excessively long holiday periods than everyone else, should every job that used to be done efficiently be carried out by not so efficient companies for excessive greed coming out of taxpayer money, should mp’s need top class hotels and flights( Travelodge and EasyJet can do) , should the cost of rebuilding hop come from the public purse, do the maths on that and look at the savings, go on you gov do polls like that then, instant winners and look at the saving for the uk

So where should the money to money to rebuild the H O P come from if not the public purse?
The building is a public building, it doesn’t belong to any particular political party, its the seat of Government and has been for hundreds of years! Of course it should come from the public purse.
While your talking about lying MP’s it ain’t just the Tories who are doing it, Labour and the Scottish Nationals are just as good as are the Greens and Liberals remember the promises on education and Universities from the Liberals before they went into the b Coalition with the Tories??
And if you want to cut the costs to the public purse the biggest waste is the monies from the public purse being spent on rebuilding Buckingham Palace for the laziest bunch of scroungers ever, That’s got to be the biggest council house hasn’t it?
They are never called in for Work Assessments or made to fill out sheets saying how much work they have done!
They should be covered by the Bedroom Tax, and Benefit Cap or call it something else if necessary what they are getting is money from the state therefore its benefits!!!
The Queen gets £13.3 Million a year from the Privy purse, basically an almost tax free income!! A bit better than UC and its not cut if you sod off to Australia to watch the cricket/rugby or whatever for six weeks never mind be two hours late signing on!!!
Its the rich wot gets the pleasure its the poor wot gets the blame!!!

it shoul;d not be rebuilt just move them into a more economically viable building, as to the royals I do agree they should pay some of the costs to rebuilding buck palace, as to lying mp’s well lets look at self harm caused by ftw, over 4k worth of suicides and 119,000 self harm attempts, caused by greedy incompetent companies , most of the time the medical reports were probably innacurate and who had to foot the bill for theis, was if the dwp or the nhs, the nhs did, why should errors made by greedy companies come out of the nhs, because we have a bunch of incompetent mp’s who are more than happy to spend 3 million on cheap booze, there should be a tightening up of the public purse and the austerity they like to talk about should start with them

There’s no depth to which the Tories would stoop to, to hold onto power. A power they consistently abuse. They fail abysmally to represent the nation, it’s people, due to their avarice for money and power for their own ilk, we are descending into a 3Rd world country. The Tower would be toi good for them.

Sadly YouGov will ask any question people want them to ask as long as the fee for doing so is paid… It doesn’t justify it, but that is worth keeping in mind. This is very unlikely to fuel government policy at this point in time.
And yes, we should all totally vote against it if we can!

Does anybody know who commissioned the poll?
LikeLike
Who would want the question to be researched? is there any organised opinion suggesting benefit claimants should be like criminals and foreigners (denied the vote)? If it appears it implies to some being asked that it is a legitimate opinion so may prompt people to say they support the proposal as they might want to appear to conform the “normal” opinion
LikeLike
Presumably it’s being commissioned by a newspaper. I can’t think of anyone else who would want to know the answer and would be able to afford the research. The Times use YouGov quite a lot so it could be them. I expect we’ll see an article about it in the next few days if it is.

YouGov will show as YoGov.co.uk in the UK, but Wikipedia gives a .com address for their website. And since they operate in Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific I’d imagine they have a few domains.
I went to the URL at the screenshot, which redirected me to a YouGov.co.uk account logon screen. Since I don’t much want to join them I didn’t go any further. However, I’m pretty sure it’s a genuine YouGov page in the screenshot.
However, that doesn’t say anything about who commissioned the research or for what purpose. As someone else said, it may be a newspaper.

This is really depressing. Could someone please tell *how one can respond to the survey* (if anyone can respond to it, i.e. if respondants are not restricted). For so doing – responding in the right way – would be something at least. That said, following the money and thinking about who commissioned it might be worthwhile.

Is this what they call fake news, or is it just lazy blogging, dependent on other scaremongers repeating unchecked nonsense all over the internet. Do you actually check ANYTHING for authenticity before posting? If not then this site is run by a scaremonger more interested in internet hits than factual information, and as such is not really worth visiting. It’s not the first time I’ve noticed stuff posted here that isn’t verifiable anywhere else. You appear to me to be far more interested in attracting the kind of follower that doesn’t need any verification before becoming outraged, than actual information. As a disabled person, I appreciate FACTS, rather than blindly copying you without being provided with, or searching for evidence. PLEASE PROVIDE THE LINK FROM YOUGOV’S UK SITE…to verify it…if you bothered looking for it as I and other discerning people did. Otherwise the only conclusion can be that this blog is content to lead disabled people, and anyone else down blind alleys for the sake of a bit of publicity. As a Labour voter who despises the Tories (and by association YouGov Uk) I refuse to repeat BS and be made to look like a fool for your ego. BTW YouGov.com is not the UK site
