[Politics] The General Election Thread

[Bold Seagull]

Of course.... if if.

He’s also arrogant - could you see him standing down?

Labour has become a cult so they won’t vote him out and if they do it will be a clone of him

Why is he arrogant? He's actually changed party rules to make it easier to remove him. He stood in 2 separate leadership elections. He's made it so a member's vote is as meaningful as a union vote. It's hardly the actions of arrogance.

So when the nation's finances are squeezed under labour it is labour's fault, but when they are squeezed under the tories it is labour's fault?

Let me make myself horizontal and ponder this for a while.....

They simply swallowed everything, and what they swallowed did them no harm, because it left no residue behind, just as a grain of corn will pass undigested through the body of a bird.

Has he apologised for the anti semitism yet?

 

[Bakero]

Has he apologised for the anti semitism yet?

Yes.

 

[Bold Seagull]

Has he apologised for the anti semitism yet?

Thought you were a little bit better than that.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Thought you were a little bit better than that.

Has he?

He refused to for a week.

I’m no Tory voter, but it’s very difficult to vote for Labour under the current leadership because of the issue I mentioned.

I’m sure I’m not the only one to think like this.

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Has he apologised for the anti semitism yet?

Sort of.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Has he apologised for the anti semitism yet?

Corbyn's so anti-semitism you'd think he was sponsored by Viagra.

Of course not. Thousands of people are prepared to believe things that if told enough start to resemble truth.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

So it didn’t take him a week or so to just say sorry?

 

[narly101]

Don't worry people. The world will correct itself from these political anomalies. Trump is about to impeached, and Johnson is on the steepest slide to failure.

A once wise man once said ....

Do you seriously think that labour will form the next government? That's the only thing that matters at the end of the election day. Well, and in a fit state to take power obviously. If you want a labour government, then it will have to be the election after this. With a new leader. The only issue for me is how that can be engineered. Only a labour wipe out, sadly, will achieve this because, as you say, in other respects Corbyn is secure, massively backed by the activists .....

... If you support labour, vote anything but labour in the general election. I will hold my nose and vote liberal. Only a wipe out in the general election will force Corbyn out. After that, Corbyn must resign if he has any insight, dignity or sense of public service.

He's not a leader. He's a ****ing disgrace. He's made labour unelectable. .... If you are left, backing Corbyn is as daft as, if you are a BHA supporter, calling for the return to the Albion of the plucky and blameless Mackail-Smith. It is worse, actually, given Corbyn's failure to apologise for his need to emote with the IRA. Mackail-Smith is woefully not good enough despite best intentions. Corbyn does not even have best intentions.

.... despite the messenger having turned to the dark side, some truths remain eternal.

Indeed. It is quite disingenuous, or just plain thick, to keep hammering Corbyn for failing to apologise for the bile of a few gobshites in his party. He has apologised.

His sin is doing it previously in a silly way, condemning all racism.

(By way of explanation of how truly awful this is, as any right thinking person knows, condemning all racism and not naming each type individually by name means that each type not mentioned by name is in fact what Corbyn is. He hates Jews, Blacks, Pakistanis, Inuit, you name it, it's hate, hate, hate all night and all day with him. Anyone who can't see that is simply a deluded lefty. Innit.)

Politics is not about what we do or what we believe. It is about saying the right thing at the right time. A 'get Brexit done' here and a 'letter box' there. We all know what a winner looks like.














All very sad this, but FFS, anyone prepared to come on NSC and claim Corbyn hasn't apologised for antisemitiosm, and that therefore this means (insert the bollocks of your choice) is clearly in a competition with BG to win this year's Daily Express 'uninformed opinion' competition. Do some sodding research, eh?

As you say yourself, it’s about saying the right thing at the right time.

So why not just say sorry the first time he’s asked?

He may not feel like he needs to, but it kills the story.

Very good point. Boris has promised so much that if he fails to deliver, he's finished before he starts. And Corbyn isn't indestructable. If Boris does deliver and everything turns out nicely then we can all forgive him for being a big fat liar. If he fails, then he'll be ousted by his own party. Win win.

If you believe this you are in for a shock

Boris has been proved to be a liar time and time again and is still going to stroll into number 10

People don’t can’t he is a liar.

Blair and Brown were the best leaders this country has had in a long time. And for a long time to come I fear.

But it appears (certainly from this thread) that’s Cameron’s lie about Labour causing the 2008 financial crash with over spending is still believed by a fair few ignorant people.

These are the facts that many Tory voters just simply can’t compute:

1. It was a global crash caused by US property prices collapsing not Labour spending.
2. Labour did not have enough regulations in place for the financial industry. However, the Tories & Osbourne wanted more deregulation of banks throughout the Blair-Brown years which would have resulted in a much more catastrophic effect on the UK economy.
3. It’s true that Labour did not have the billions saved up to bail out the banks but should governments have these sorts of reserves?
4. Johnson’s far right government is all about Brexit and deregulation (exactly what got us in to trouble in 2008). His billionaire backers and the ERG want the UK opted out of the sort of EU financial regulations that would have prevented the 2008 crash. In essence, this will make the likes of Mogg filthy ****ing rich.

So, by voting Tory, you are putting the Country into a deregulated abyss where are highly vulnerable to crash and burn economics. And where are the rich bankers who gambled our economic welfare away?

The Chancellor of the Exchequer is one such ****!

 

[Two Professors]

The Tories think that the general public are stupid and mugs.
To be fair to them all the time we have the likes of Wellthickwoody, Mouldy Boots and 2 Professors they have a valid point.
They are just too ignorant to see through the constant lies.
The posts so far today from the 3 of them are beyond stupid.

Says the clown from the Soviet Socialist Republic of Plymouth,who thinks Swinson and Abbott are marvelous because they have big breasts..What a Chopper!

 

[Two Professors]

Lol. So you think the rich should not be taxed and we should tax the poor more for it!? ****ing typical of a disgusting Tory view.
