A young woman brought her fiancé home to meet her parents. After dinner, her mother told her father to find out about the young man. The father invited the fiancé to his study for a talk.
"So what are your plans?" the father asked the young man.
"I am a political student" he replied.
"A political student, hmmm?" the father said. "Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in?"
"I will study," the young man replied, "and a labour government will provide for us."
"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asked the father.
"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replied, "a labour government will provide for us."
"And children?" asked the father. "How will you support children?"
"Don't worry, sir, a labour government will provide," replied the fiance.
The conversation proceeded like this, and each time the father questioned, the young idealist insisted that a labour government would provide.
Later, the mother asked, "How did it go, honey?"
The father answered, "He has no job and no plans, and he thinks I'm Jeremy Corbyn."

Ach, of course, in the Tory version, Dad insists Jack the lad, joins his firm. No great hardship; even though he's not really qualified to do the job, the money is far better than anything he'd even dreamed about. Her Mums even more pleased and lets him have a family heirloom for the engagement ring. Sure, the wedding was a bit OTT, but he wasn't paying, so it didn't hurt much. His mates are pretty envious of the nice flat and will be even more so when Nan pops her clogs and they inherit that lot. The kid they had was no big issue, not once the au pair had learned the ropes. Work is great too, once they found out who he was, just a matter of sitting back and letting 'his people' get on with it. Bless you, life IS better under the Tories; Jack's alright!

Bless you, life IS better under the Tories; Jack's alright! That's where I've been going wrong! Bless you OTE, here was me going to college, then night school while I worked in a factory, then applying for countless jobs untill I got a job in a window company, then working several jobs while I got more qualifications, then working my way up through various sales jobs, often putting in twelve or fourteen hours a day. When all I had to do was have a rich daddy with his own company (which presumably he got through his father). BOY! Do I feel foolish! All that work for nothing! OTE? You're a genius.

He'll have to in oder to fufill his fantasies. You may as well sell up and leave the Country if gets in.. And sharpish. Actually, that might be the most realistic solution for some. Spain is apparently pretty good and there is a big expat community so language not a big issue. Makes a lot of sense, house prices here are high but low in Spain right now, so you'd be quids in. It also helps our population issue too. Good solution.

Good solution. I have "contingency" plans. A large percentage of high earners will leave. And the middle will pay. Unemployment will sky rocket, the pound will crash, and strikes will be rampant. But hey its all good. JC's inda house featuring Abbott and Thornberry.😂

But hey its all good. JC's inda house featuring Abbott and Thornberry.😂 There are some 'high earners' many would hold the door open for, Philip Green, Fred Goodwin to name but two. As we so well know the value of someone's wage is no indicator of their productive worth to the Country. So it's no real threat to the State. Unemployment under Mrs Thatcher wasn't anything to boast about, Mr Major wasn't particularly good with the pound and Mr Cameron's handling of crippling rail strikes has been pretty abysmal. The classic 'anti Labour' jibes just don't wash anymore. Will be interesting to see where everyone goes. Spain is being predicted as the next Greece so Europe doesn't look too inviting. The States have shut their doors tighter under the Donald and Australia isn't too good for immigrants. Canada might be worth a look.

Though I found it a bit cold in Bannff the other year. You are an enigma Mr Edge. You know Corbyn would be a disaster. Just a different kind. 😂 Brexit will pale into insignificance. I think the Company I work for would deffo relocate.

I fear our company is preparing for that ever since our government tried to heal itself with a referendum. You don't need a left winger to ruin the country; the monster raving timids are doing that already.
