[Politics] The General Election Thread

“This One Nation Conservative Government”

Like Sturgeon is trying to do?

Yeap you said it, leave one Union to destroy our own, great work....

I'm not even warmed up yet...

Why waste your time warming up, just dive on in there.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Caroline Lucas, the best constituency MP we've ever had in Brighton Pavilion, regardless of her political party. No contest.

And since she'll walk re-election, I plan to work for Peter Kyle in Hove to try to offset the forces of Momentum, who would rather the Tories won than a moderate like him.

The Tories aren't stupid enough to simply 'sell off' the NHS. Instead it will be a campaign of deliberate under funding to make the public lose trust in the system. The Tories record on the NHS is absolutely appalling. In the last 9 years; half of maternity units have been closed at some point, we've had the junior doctor crisis, the nursing crisis, private NHS providers defrauding the state, the waiting lists for NHS services are at record highs, A/E waiting times are at record highs, people have been dying in hospital corridors, mental health services have been cut to the bone... If, after a decade of deliberate and systematic ruination of the NHS, they can get people to question whether a more American style system would possibly be better, they're well on their way to achieving their ambition of fully privatising the NHS and selling it off to their wealthy mates ala Thatcher in the 80s.

The same pattern as British Rail, starve it of investment till it becomes a National joke, then say the only way to fix’ it, is to privatise it, sell it to your mates, they make a bundle in subsidies, the passengers and the public purse get shafted.

Jobs a good ‘un.

This.

Brexit party for me.

Intrigued to know why given that they don't really have any policies than the obvious. This is a 'general' election after all and it should be about so much more than the B word...

Seems to be the only gig in town.

Fwiw I voted remain in the 2016 referendum and that was only a marginal decision.

I've since come down on the side of Brexit.

What utter utter nonsense, Momentum are focussing on marginal seats and will be campaigning all day tomorrow in Worthing and Hastings.

Fair enough, but what about everything else that's at stake?

The hysteria and hyperbole surrounding Momentum is quite astonishing really. Peter Chowney must stand a great chance in Hastings. Tiny swing needed there.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

You can't expect to take citizenship away from people without consequences......

You can, if you're a fascist.

 

[whitelion]

With the current impasse in politics I'm sure once/if Brexit is finally concluded there'll be a return to "normal politics".

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Friday night is flaming the gammon night, I see. Happy cooking, folks.

Anyway, today is AD 0 1, the first day of After Deadinaditch day. And I can smell bacon. Grizzling.

Are they all back from the riots, HWT?

 

[Blue3]

Unwittingly?

I was giving the T**t the benifit of doubt

Mmmm some fireworks going off round here. Not sure if it is a gammon flagration or just a bit of premature Guy Fawkery. Probably the latter. Round here itis more rasher than gammon.

 

[Bold Seagull]

A labour win risks brexit happening via a 2nd referendum. Lib dems will revoke it. THAT is the surefire way to stop it.

If they were to outright win the election.

 

[Motogull]

Wrong. Do car insurers go to the cheapest garage? You get a cheap price by buying in huge bulk like the NHS, insurance companies don’t have the scale to do this.

Good analogy fella.

"Insurance job yeah?" Money for old rope.

I've seen a US hospital invoice for an admission. The breakdown was fukken scandalous. The fee for an MRI was ten times more than what you would pay privately over here. Understandable why premiums rocket.

Oh, and Buglecunt Farrage is still a shit stirring creep.

So, out of interest, what is it that you have learnt between 2016 and now that changed your mind?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Will Boris & Dominic get arrested before the election, now the Met police have passed the criminal file of VoteLeave to the CPS?
