[Politics] The General Election Thread

[Live by the sea]

Lord west a highly respected labour peer and formal lord admiral in the navy has said today that the thought of Corbyn as PM fills him with dread. Not really the endorsement the old commie was looking for I suspect.

 

[Is it PotG?]

 

[pastafarian]

All I am saying is you CAN NOT accuse someone of something without backing that claim up.

Like crackpot accusations that NSC moderators are Nazi sympathisers and apologists?

Well what can you say , some of the corbynistas seem to forget that Labour MP's were resigning a while back over his management of the labour party, all he's done now is surround himself with glove puppets

Adam Boulton on twitter

"Tory source says better take the hit for chicken than take the risk of @afneil. Happy days!"

The BBC lied to Labour and advised them they had Johnson tied in. It's a national stitch up.

It always brightens the thread up a little when the old people start posting the funny memes.

Oh hang on...

Bazza Gardiner takes a good thrashing from O'neil about scaremongering about the selling of the NHS.

I thought his head was going to explode, shame really.

Same on labour always trying to deceive the young and the elderly.

Yet some will take it in.

Ahhh Sky, that Murdoch owned news platform that all of a sudden appeals to you as it apparently doesn’t report stuff that you don’t like the sound of!

Yes, you're right - if Sky looks more even-handed in its Brexit coverage than the BBC does then things really have come to a pretty pass.

(In fairness to Murdoch, he does publish one of the more balanced of UK newspapers.)

Scaremongering.

An yet, here's me trying to figure why the US would want to renegotiate the terms on which they already sell drugs to us.

I assume that's to save the UK money is it?

I have a faulty boiler. Yours for £7,000.00. It's the cheapest faulty boiler you'll be offered.

Three day weekend sounds good, as does free wifi.

What are the Tories offering?

Under the last few Tory governments we have had to live with their austerity measures: less spending on services, less money to local governments.

Now the Tories say there are all these things that billions of pounds can be spent on. And the great thing is that this can be done using the same tax regime that meant we lived under austerity.
Where is the extra cash coming from for Tory spending?

Johnson will come round and shag your wife if you have a headache.

Seems he is frit, what was that he was saying about Corbyn being a chicken

Hope C4 empty chair him at the climate debate tomorrow and BBC play the Eddie Mair interview in the slot instead

The problem is Bojo knows the more people get to know him the worse it gets for him, best strategy is hunker down in the trench and hope he can hang onto his lead

A now show will just be further evidence he is little more than a pound shop Trump

Is there a rule that manifestos, NHS sell off (?) documentation and other stuff have to be issued in paper? Watching the news tonight there must have been a few trees handed out. Can’t people just look them up on the internet?

YouGov MRP Poll released tonight .... they successfully predicted a hung parliament last time and that swing seats Kensington and Chelsea and Canterbury would be won by the Labour party.

Interesting to see if they have called it right this time.
