Woman who keeps voting Tory can't work out why public services are shit

A WOMAN who keeps voting for Conservative governments cannot understand why her local services are terrible.

Donna Sheridan has so far been unable to make a connection between public services being dreadful and those services being run by politicians who do not really agree with the idea of public services.

Sheridan said: “When I went to A&E it took six hours for a doctor to see me and she looked totally stressed. They should employ ones who can work quicker and handle a bit of pressure.

“The buses are always late and really expensive now. It’s the fault of the drivers because the private bus companies all have brilliant names like Fastrak and Arrivo.

“I was disappointed when they closed our library, but the librarians should have focused on making a profit instead of sponging off the state.”

She added: “I doubt the Tories are to blame but I don’t really follow the news.

“In fact, I wouldn’t mind if there was no NHS and everyone died when they got ill, just as long as the government hassles people I don’t like.”

Bovis homes turning up in TK Maxx

A NUMBER of Bovis houses have appeared on shelves at TK Maxx after recent damage to the brand. 

The homes, which range from two-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom detached houses, are in the store’s Home section and are heavily discounted from their original asking price. 

Shopper Francesca Ryan said: “They looked great at first and I thought I’d come across a real bargain. For that price I was going to get two and worry about what to do with them later. 

“But when you looked closely the build quality really wasn’t great and they were weirdly put-together; stairs in the dining rooms, back doors at the sides. Some of the en-suites just had three toilets in and nothing else. 

“I soon realised these were end-of-the-line houses they’d unloaded at discount. If I bought one I’d never use it and eventually give it to a charity shop, like that green Miu Miu dress. 

“So I just left the one I’d picked up on the floor by the handbags. Someone else can put it back.”
