Clever people on the Tories

Made me laugh:
"Me: “Hello, V. intelligent person. What do you think of Tory economic proposal X/Response to Y, eh?

Respected Thinker on Economics: “It’s really stupid.”

Me: “Aww, you’re just saying that to make me happy.”

RTE: “No, it really is dumb/populist/unworkable/a disaster in the making/imbecility of the most terrifying level”

Me: Yeah, they’re 17 points ahead in the polls, tho. Scary eh?

RTE: “No biggie.”

Me: “Eh? WTFBBQ?”

RTE: “Well, they don’t really mean it. I mean, they’re not that dumb. This is all just pre election waffle. They won’t try and implement anything like this when in power”"
