[Politics] The General Election Thread

[Two Professors]

If you have to explain a joke, then it wasn't funny. If you have to laugh at your own joke then it also wasn't funny. Since you did both I'm going to declare your "joke" not funny.

I bow to your sense of self-superiority and fart in your general direction.

Oh dear.The OP was discussing the possibility of snow causing a problem with the senior citizen vote.Snow consists of snowflakes.Most EU luvvies are 'snowflakes'.Has it started to impinge on that blubbery lump mixed with air between your ears yet?If not,then you must be Watford zero answers.

Yeah I got that bit. It doesn’t really work though does it. As a joke or an insult. You’re rather unpleasant, aren’t you.

Only 'rather unpleasant'?Looks like I still need practise to catch up with you then.

Thought this was apt.

Really, this joke making thing your doing, it’s not for you.

The pressure on the Labour party seems to be showing.

Coburn upset McDonald and Corbyn faced apologising about the rife anti-semantics within the labour party reluctantly.

Even little old cuddly dog-loving softy Schofield can rile Corbyn, and he calls himself a party leader.

Can you imagine Corbyn leading this country through Brexit and beyond, without debt spiralling out of control and keeping us all safe?

I am no great fan of the Labour Party at the moment, or of Mr Corbyn, BUT
I would rather have him in charge than a serial liar, serial philanderer, self contradictory bottom-wipe like Johnson, who tried to claim the other day that Child Poverty has reduced under Conservative led-governments over the last 10 years, who gets booed out of just about every hospital that he visits because Doctors, nurses et al are incredulous about what he claims he has done and will intend to do, who claims we will employ 50,000 new nurses, 19,000 of whom are already there, who can't remember today what he or his senior colleagues said yesterday, or is happy to contradict them anyway, to whom attention to detail is an alien concept.


And incidentally there was a letter in the Financial Times last week signed by large numbers of Economists and Academics which backed Labour's spending plans. https://www.ft.com/content/d29b4cbe-0fa4-11ea-a225-db2f231cfeae
It makes sense to borrow money when interest rates are low in order to invest.
If you give more money to poor people, whether they are on benefits, or whether it is underpaid people like nurses who are having to go to foodbanks, they will not be able to save it, they will probably have to spend it in order to live, so it will be more money circulating in the economy.

And Johnson and the Conservatives have some fairly wild spending plans as well, with probably less idea of where it is coming from.

In other words, I don't agree with your view of present day politics...… but I think I knew that already.

 

[Mellotron]

Have a look at the following - https://yougov.co.uk/uk-general-election-2019/, Yougov suggesting Tories will get 68 more seats than all the other parties added together!

Hang on...are you saying that YouGov, founded and run by two former Tory MPs (Stephan Shakespeare & Nadhim Zahawi) who are on record as taking advice from Dominic Cummings have produced a poll suggesting Labour voters might as well give up?!

Well I for one am SHOCKED.

Have you considered going on 'Have I Got News For You?'?

 

[nicko31]

Contacted local Tory candidate...

Q - I got a message on the my FB feed there will be 50,000 more nurses under the Tories, is that true?

A - Yes that's correct we will go from 280,000 to 330,000. That's 31,000 new recruits and 19,000 retained staff

Have I missed something here?

 

[Grombleton]

Prick with a fork?Jamie Oliver is a remoaner.

Well, you tried.

 

[Grombleton]

Have you considered going on 'Have I Got News For You?'?

Considered it once or twice. I don't think a bloke linking to a tweet is the kind of person they're looking for though. Probably someone more well known.

Perhaps Two Profs could go on in your stead, he has been smashing the funnies all day long .

Corbyn's spending plans are wilder but at least he will retain European market access, puts him 2 laps ahead of the Tories that are trying to reinvent the trade rules overnight.

The fact that NSC has "unwritten rules" is part of the problem. The infraction system is bizarre and who actually knows what it means? What are the cards? How many points is bad? Is 10 a lot? Or a little? Is 100 a ban?

As I've explained to you before, it doesn't matter what the system is. Just don't post like a prick and you won't get treated like a prick. You've been banned for being a prick. Simples. Yet you still continue to complain. It's an amateur chat website owned and monitored by people that are not paid. If it bothers you so much that there are no clearly defined rules ( exactly the same as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter ) then start your own with the rules you wish to see implemented. I really fail to understand why you continue to post when you hate NSC so much.

If this site bothers you see ya later , bye bye,

Anyone that reads the Mirror, needs to look into one.

Sad that they spent time trying to add up his lies, Corbyn, Swinson and Sturgeon all lie, it's sad but part of being a politician.

You keep reading the Mirror and I will keep using my nous.

No, we probably never will agree politically, but we both agree a Corbyn/McDonnell partnership would be a disaster for the uk.


It would be like having Leon best partnering Ashley Neal.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

I'm repeatedly told this: "NSC is extremely right wing."

In equal measure, I'm also told this: "NSC is extremely left wing."

A whole lot of flapping going on...........
