[Politics] The General Election Thread

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Worth putting these to together given the attempts at misinformation on recent posts...

I thought the Tories were keeping Corp. Tax at 19%?

Maureen Lipman and her other half are a very good friend of my Dad and step mum. Nice lady by all accounts, but everybody avoids her when it comes to politics because she is absolutely HEAD MENTAL. Don't ever start her on Israel, but it seems she's gone doolally here too.

I saw the story about Maureen Lipman.

She claimed she cannot vote Labour while Jezza is in charge.

What did the lifelong Labour supporter say in 2014?

I cannot vote Labour while Ed Milliband is in charge

At what point do you stop being a self titled Labour supporter and become an unofficial Tory stooge. It's like the the closet Tories pretending they're voting Tory for the first time ever.

Neither Labour's 26% or the Tories 17% are immediate changes to tax rates, but future figures they will look to achieve.

Boris announced the 17% at the CBI. https://www.ft.com/content/5a428948-09f6-11ea-b2d6-9bf4d1957a67

Seems they have had this anti-semitism issue for some time, doesn't it? I would have thought somebody might have addressed it by now.

Which is a shame really, cos Johnson told us back in theSummer that cutting CGT , actually pulled in more tax.

 

[Bozza]

She is insanely pro-Israel, one of those irritating Jewish people who conflate complaining about Israeli policy with anti-semitism.

Along with Rachel Riley?

This bloody Laffer curve has a lot to answer for.

Wankers.

The Conservatives have set up a website that purports to contain Labour’s manifesto, in a bid to trick voters looking for the document.

The governing party paid Google to promote the website labourmanifesto.co.uk towards the top of its results for people searching for the opposition plan.

It is the latest underhand tactic to have been employed by the Tories, who were earlier this week accused of running an authoritarian-style disinformation campaign to confuse voters about opposition plans.

Do you consider that criticism of Israel over their treatment of Palestine to be anti Semitic?

How do you think Jewish Ed Milliband fits into that scenario?

Did you read the Guardian article from 2014?

The Google search of Ms Riley gives this sidebar:-

Rachel Annabelle Riley is a British television presenter and mathematician. She is well known for demonising Jeremy Corbyn who is the current leader of the UK Labour party with claims of anti-semitism against him whilst actively promoting racism herself. Wikipedia

Which seems to leave more questions than answers.

When I Google her I get loads of photos of the lady wearing a tight dress standing next to rude words. You need to change your settings.

It seems rather obvious that Tory will be the largest party with Boris keeping his job, the main question being will he get an overall majority but what is the possibility that Labour could finish 3rd behind Lib Dems as per this poll on NSC?

Close to zero. Obviously.

Close to zero. Obviously.

Why if NSC is reflective of the nation in general with posters being from different walks of life in different parts of the UK/world.

When you lie so much, your lies about your lies in your mind become some kind of truth...

Interesting that Gove keeps referring to polemics:
A polemic is contentious rhetoric that is intended to support a specific position by aggressive claims and undermining of the opposing position. Polemics are mostly seen in arguments about controversial topics. The practice of such argumentation is called polemics
He's using that argument in defence of setting up the Tory twitter account as FactCheck...can you believe this guy? Honestly....why would you vote for them...why?

 

[Is it PotG?]

Well I'm glad that's been cleared up then.

'I'm going to gain your vote by arrogance, propaganda and utter contempt for you as a rational thoughtful human being'.

NOW VOTE FOR ME.

Suspect that Wiki quote will get edited quite soon!
