You would think so wouldn't you but I suspect Trump is much more popular in this country than we might like to think.

I had a good chat with two of my neighbours last night. Apparently labour came second in the last GE here in 'Maidstone' (FFS - France is closer to Faversham than Maidstone). On that basis alone, I am now pledging my tactical vote to Labour. There are other bases too (for example, of the two parties with a chance of winning, one is headed by such an utter shitter that the other would probably have to be caught red handed having a dump in my hat to not get my vote), but contributing to the Johnson tories losing a seat by the most achievable means will do. Most of my street appear likely to be on the same bus. Fancy that.
Always knew HWt was a secret Corbynista ..... a 'tactical' vote to help put Corbyn in Number 10.

Strangely and worryingly this from the Evening Standard …….."Meanwhile more than eight in 10 Tory backers are pleased with the way Mr Johnson has handled Britain’s departure from the European Union." Now you and I might notice something amiss with that statement... we haven't left !

I'm not their biggest fans, but If you seriously believe that, you're a f*cking retard
I think exactly the same about Johnson and his cronies.
Either way we is fooked, but it'll be nice to be fooked by good intentions.

On that basis, I'm happy with it too...
Re the poll:
I am not sure how I will ever make a decision on how to vote. As a remainer I would love to see a LD majority and Brexit revoked. But a LD majority is fantasy. From a Brexit perspective its impossible to know what will happen under labour (even today, JC refused to say which way he would vote come another referendum) but more lengthy, damaging uncertainty will be inevitable. We will leave under the Tories which I don't want but then at least we move forward.
At the same time, a vote for anybody but the Tories risks JC getting hold of this country which, IMHO, would be disastrous for the economy and the Jewish community, and will just generate more hatred.
I WANT to vote labour, I DON'T want to vote Tory but is there really a choice this time?

And so speaks your typically eloquent Corbyn supporter!
Point 1, I agree
Point 2, I disagree. If ( and it won't happen) JC got it all his own way, I do honestly believe everyone would have all they need and more, unfortunately that's not going to happen in the modern world, in the U.K., ever.
The Scandinavians seem to manage something very close, they're not a bunch of greedy selfish ***** and don't let themselves be brainwashed and ruled by them.
We are our own worse enemies as a nation. . . . So on reflection, as a nation, you are probably right.

Hilarious Mouldy ! I'm willing to give it a go though, the Tories have destroyed the last decade about time someone else had a crack.
Got the wet lemmings a tad 'triggered' Mouldy!
I'd vote LD for the same reasons, but with such an appalling electoral system one has to be careful. . . .so a red tick it must be as the only way of getting the tories out in Adur.
As far as antisemetism is concerned, it's barely a dot in the distance to my mind, largely generated by Australian propaganda! compared with the voting record and opinions of our current MP it doesn't even register To the power of ten as a proportional issue against the overall population.

Mind you, at the last GE his majority was slashed !
I thought it was more than eloquent given the gravitas of the Original statement, what don't you like about it?
I'm not a Corbyn supporter, nor even a Labour Party member.
I would prefer my politics to be honest and fair however. Which kind of rules out most of his opposition. And, to be fair, a significant slice of his own party!

Boris has promised much I just hope that he gets a majority that will allow him to show that he can produce what he promised if not then people are entitled to doubt him and his intentions.
