General Election 2017

[Live by the sea]

We could end up with a PM who is cosy with Terrorist Groups

How embarrassing would that be. Corbyn will make us a laughing stock. Clearly however he has appeal among hard left idealistic students in the same way Lucas does.

On the plus side swopping Mooy for Norwood would make my day slightly better.

They can't. That puts labour in a minority government. They hate Corbyn more than May.

It's funny. The Tories have spent the last two years terrifying the sick and disabled and ensuring many of us round here can't get to work by train. Now you're one bout of the sniffles or a cancelled train away from losing a crucial vote.

Amazing how the usual suspects are still trying to frame this solely within Brexit. General Elections are never single issue.

Pastafarian is only making himself feel better. Personally I can't see Brexit remaining on the same course as it is now - the tone of negotiation at the least will have to change dramatically. I think the near complete collapse of the UKIP vote pretty much points to the fact that there simply isn't a will to have these hard-line Brexiteers like Davis and Duncan-Smith negotiating for us.

I can now see a more conciliatory soft Brexit happening, arguably amounting to a sort of associate membership like Norway enjoy.

Do you mean Theresa May? Met with the Saudi government that covertly funds Isis just months ago. Is that the PM cosying up to terrorist groups your reffering to?

I'm sorry describing something insidous as a cancer, isn't demeaning to terminally ill. It is widely used phrase to emphasise the wickedness of something. Reading that comment as an insensitve swipe at terminally ill (where does he mention terminally ill?) is frankly, either ignorant or sour grapes.

I would never use the word 'cancer' in such a way. Perhaps you would. Perhaps you don't have relatives facing the disease.
No sour grapes here. I'm old Labour ie pre the 1980s shenanigans. I'm not sure who to
support these days.

Any reassessment on Corbyn?

That and the DUP

How embarrassing would it be seeing someone as incompetent as May entering into complicated negotiations about our split with the EU?

 

[knocky1]

Her only chance is to cosy up to the supporters of loyalist terror groups.

im done, cant drink anymore
+ babestation girls put their clothes back on at this time in the morning it seems......WTF is that all about?

A man that combines social policy, political debate, getting smashed a pair of bangers.

Scenes.

 

[dazzer6666]

Watching TV and social media this morning, is this country now the most divided its ever been? Worrying times, whatever the colour of your rosette.

Yep, lots of pretty nasty stuff flying around, more from the left than the right on my feeds it seems. I've kept out of giving opinions on all political discussions on social media in the run up, and not going to start now. It was the same over Brexit.

She's certainly a woman who can see her destiny.

 

[Colossal Squid]

Cancer is commonly used in this context. Don't make out like it's some insensitive shock remark mocking sick people

 

[Simster]

He's confounded critics and run an impressive campaign which offered a real choice. You have to respect that.

But then as [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] points out, he's just lost an election to the most arrogant lazy Tory campaign we have and will ever see, probably because of his alienating of the centre and right of his party. He certainly deserves to keep his job if he can build bridges in his own party and reel in the centre left.

I'm sorry if you have relatives facing the disease, I certainly don't want to upset you or have a pop under those circumstances. So I will apologise if I reacted a bit strongly there. I was just pointing out that cancer isn't just used as a word to define the disease.

Getting irritated by this self congratulation of the youth vote. Where were they last year on an ultimately more important long term matter?! We'd be in a much better position if they'd bothered then.

And that idiot Corbyn would make a better job of it?

I assume you're talking about the Tories and the DUP? Yep, outrageous....
