No one can be so gullible, surely?

How does a political party advert portray reality?

It’s shocking that a lot of the comments actually think it’s real, wow, just wow.

Austerity for a decade

‘They give everyone a fair chance’

Ruining northern industry and ignoring it for decades because it largely voted Labour

‘I’m excited to see what he does’

Meh just admit the posh accent, pint holding and wisecracks did it for ya

It’s a depressing state of affairs when people can’t tell the difference between what is real and what isn’t. Do they also think that characters in films and on TV are real people?

I actually thought it was a joke until near the end.

I think years of "reality" TV like Made In Chelsea which is obviously scripted but marketed as being real had warped a lot of people's perception on what's real and fake.

It's like people who could never tell that bands were lip syncing on Top Of The Pops because they'd watched so much MTV and never seen a band live.

No different to the last election. TM either rescinded large parts of her own manifesto and/or adopted parts of Labour manifesto. Boris still won’t reverse austerity or keep the NHS safe from big corporations and the US though so in reality these will be small, barely token gestures.

Nurses dont get paid £30k+.

They were talking about it on the radio a few weeks back, saying Boris will have no choice but get rid of that £30k limit or the NHS will go into an even bigger crisis.

Around 15% are not from the uk, including 5.5% from the EU. This lowering of the pay will be for all immigration not just EU.

Theres a massive shortage of nurses, and tons of international recruitment drives.

Pretty sure the proportion of front-line staff is very different.

Classic Grendel deflection.

Tbh it isn't nationalisation in reality as it is still sat within the flawed franchising framework

Still waiting to see how he delivers the £30k starting salary for newly qualified teachers. He wouldn't have lied would he?

So who's really running the country - Johnson or Cummings?
Both parties (and the country) in trouble when unelected "political" advisers hold so much sway

Isn't it approx. 4m EU citizens in the UK? If so that represents approx. 6% of the population so quote how the distorted 'facts' about being propped up by the EU nurses are accurate I don't know. Not at all saying they shouldn't be here, but the ratio is approx. right on that basis that if there was no EU citizens the NHS wouldn't fall apart as the campaigners had us believe.
