[Politics] The General Election Thread

[The Clamp]

If you don't, someone so twisted may just get the idea that their insults are in fact quite justified. I will remember this exchange next time you hurl an insult at someone you don't like.

It’s simply that it seems to get you rather wound up. If you’re going to engage with people you don’t like, you really should develop a thicker skin.

Don't be so pompous. Golden rule is never to take NSC that seriously.

He’s learning! Still rude, but getting there.

 

[Westdene Seagull]

They are not in any way! What are you on!?

You've somewhat proved [MENTION=28630]Hastings gull[/MENTION] 's point.

 

[melias shoes]

Those that can be convinced yes. But a lot are just mindwashed to the point they just eat the lies, its like talking to a brick wall.

You come across as quite an angry person. All because others don't share your political point of view. Some might describe conversing with you as talking to a brick wall. Before you jump down my throat you may have noticed that I have hardly contributed to this thread. Just the odd opinion poll post. I've chosen to view from a distance and as per the brexit debate there are the usual angry posters like yourself that can't quite grasp the fact that others have a different opinion to their own. Now I'm not exactly sure what is going to happen next week because the opinion polls have, as we all know, been wrong in the past. For me I will be voting Tory to get the democratic decision we voted for over the line.

Prime ministerial debate right now. Presented by Nick Robinson - former Tory activist and founder of the Macclesfield Young Conservatives. Nice and impartial BBC.

Cutting VAT on tampons did that make the Tory manifesto?

Anything to stop the reds!

And the remoaners said there were no benefits to leaving the EU

The question is not about getting Brexit over the line - it is about what type of Brexit - Johnson promised an extra £350million a week for the NHS at the referendum - what he is actually going to do is let big pharma from the US run riot around the British healthcare system. Voting for the Tories to get Brexit is daft - it is jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

 

[Jolly Red Giant]

THAT is blatenetly not true! FFS how can you seriously say that?

The strategy of all Tories is to repeat the lie often enough in the hope that some poor fools will believe it - it is a bit like the one about the extra 50,000 nurses.

Out if interest, what are the timescales you are expecting to get Brexit 'over the line'?

Just the simple ones,

When do you expect the WA to be agreed?
When do you expect the EU trade negotiations to start?
When do you expect the EU trade negotiations to end?
Do you think the implementation period will be extended?
When do you think the new 'divorce bill' should be negotiated until?

Or when you say 'over the line' do you mean at some point in 10 years + (or, if you believe JRM 50 years +) time?

 

[Hampster Gull]

They are both soooo poor. They both deserve to fail

They just don't care about this sort of thing. Just to be able to say 'we have now left'. That's all that matters.

What part of 'let's get Brexit done' don't you understand?

I say that as a remainer who still thinks Brexit won't happen.

You don't argue the best way to circumnavigate the planet with folk who believe it is flat.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Sigh....

So, you have no idea what you are talking about, but you want it 'over the line'

I think you are slap bang in the middle of Johnson’s target market and you'll get exactly what you deserve

Johnson has smashed Corbyn out the park tonight, ably assisted by wet Nick who was awful.

Yep I haven't a clue.

 

[Bozza]

I could barely bring myself to listen to the same old tired cliches from both of the protagonists once again, but it seems Johnson got a slightly louder reception at the end so on the basis of that, I'm adjudicating that he won the debate.
