[Politics] The General Election Thread

Extinction rebellion cost the country £37 million this year.

I wonder if they would like to pay it back to the government so they can use it for the homeless or NHS?


Yes, that is £37 Million pounds.

Can we have a link to your source please?

Not that I care if that’s what they have cost. Absolute drop in the ocean compared to the cost we will all pay off we don’t need their message (whether one likes their methods or not).

So Boris still running scared from Andrew Neil

He know "Get Brexit Done" is another meaningless slogan, when it comes to it he has no real plan.

Susanna Reid also was winding into Jonathan Bartlett this morning.

I wouldn't worry too much; food will soon be free when McDonnell waves his wand.
Think how much that will save families on top of the £6000 already stated!

Food is already free!

Demand for free food has gone up 3800% under the Tories and will only rise once they get elected although I doubt demand will be met.

Probably wouldn’t have put such a strain on the police force if the Tory’s hadn’t made all those cuts.

Well worth the cost anyway, we need radical action on the climate emergency.

Can’t comment on your last sentence as I can’t make sense of it

Perhaps take that from the £10.5Billion fossil fuel subsidy the tax payer pays for.

So you are happy to waste £37 million then?

Do you fly?

Depends if you count the survival of earth and humanity as a waste

Maybe it’s just me but I fail to understand how anyone with an ounce of decency could vote for Corbyn in this election. He really is a nasty piece of work. Anyway I’ve said my piece.

He absolutely is a nasty piece of work. But he is at least a nasty piece of work with a social conscience, unlike the nasty piece of work leading the blue team.

He doesn’t believe it’s an issue and he hates “lefty protesters” so not hard to have a guess at his views on the people literally trying to save him and future generations.

Climate disaster and a Tory government are what happen when we sit idly by and let others profit from our misery.

Attn Lib Dems voters. Reports Tories have been approached by Li Dems to discuss coalition.

I knew the predictable foodbank retort would come up and I didn't want to spoil it for you.
P.S.Have you considered that it may have been Diane Abbott cocking the costings up in Asda?
Oh no, it couldn't be; she's on a 'Magical Mystery Tour' with Moggy. Hope they get on ok and have a good time.................could be very late entrants to 'I'm A Celeb'?

Just watched Jo Swinson being interviewed by Andrew Neal, and although no fan (understatement of the year) thought she came across well. Best performance I have seen from her.

How much of a lazy, unprepared, lying, piss poor performer do you have to be to run away from that

I'd be intrigued to hear how the Johnson fans believe a man running scared of Andrew Neill can be expected to "stand up to Putin" or "will fight Britain's corner in trade negotiations".

should we have food stamps given to those in need?

Rayner loses the plot trying to back up Corbyn lie about watching the Queen Christmas day.


They are cracking and imploding.

But which is worse, lying about watching the Queen's speech or lying to the actual Queen to try and get Parliament suspended to force through an agenda you know wouldn't pass because it's shit.

Answers on a postcard.

Not sure if I see policing peaceful protest as a waste.

Planning for a No Deal (that might not even happen) has already cost the police £26m, with that expected to rise. Exiting a No Deal will incur £26m per year just in additional admin dealing with the various database issues, with Kent police saying they'll need an additional £20m. Happy?

I've tried, but usually I end up straight in the sea.

No figures for the rise in hate crimes police are dealing with, and all the nonsense marches the far right and their ilk create and the trouble that goes with it. Just figures on the nasty climate protestors with the biggest issue of our time, making Brexit frankly trivial by comparison.

It's funny how they see work towards climate change as a waste, but something worthless and needless like brexit as "**** it, lets throw more money at it".

They won't be around to see the effects, so they don't care.

About £63 million less than was wasted on the October 'prepare to leave the EU' ad campaign then

What has been the cost so far on No Deal Brexit planning?

 

[wellquickwoody]

Read the manifesto. They aim to retain 19k nurses that would have otherwise left, recruit another 31k. Do the maths. They have not claimed 50k NEW nurses.

Or are the left peddling lies now?
