I've seen some nasty stuff on here but for the first time I'll say it. That deserves a ban.

He has Corbynski and Moscow Milne in Downing Street itching to get rid of our nukes ( egged by the SNP ) and also to undermine NATO.

Indeed, although I doubt many of the people who are desperate for free braodband will be overly concerned that the man they want in 10 Downing street (and many in his team) has spent most of his life opposing and attacking NATO. Free stuff far more important than national security obvs ..



“We in the radical end, the left, of the unions and the Labour Party, have got to be realistic that NATO is a major problem and a major difficulty, and we have to campaign against NATO’s power, its influence and its global reach, because it is a danger to world peace and a danger to world security.” Jeremy Corbyn 2011

“High Time for an End to NATO” Jeremy Corbyn writing in the Morning Star 2012

“It’s a Cold War organisation. It should have been wound up in 1990.” Jeremy Corbyn 2015

Also worth mentioning it would appear the only credible way he could get a working majority that can sustain Labour in power is by jumping into bed with the SNP who have said binning our nuclear deterrent is a red line. I expect Labour would be more than happy to do this (despite what they're manifesto says) as they have made it clear they would never use it anyway. I'm sure all the people that were outraged by the DUP's influence on the government would be equally appalled at the SNP getting numerous concessions and bungs ....

Apparently, Diane Abbott's son has been arrested and charged for allegedly biting a Police Officer

Mmmmm is this a cunning plan so she can disappear from the campaign or just another example of people having to go to desperate measures to eat under the heartless Tories?

People, narrow minded people, are quite derisive about the free broadband policy. However, in a country where public libraries are closing by the dozen and 1 in 5 schools doesn’t even have a library, free broadband will make a vast, vast difference to the poorest in our society. A very important lifeline for children to even be able to do their studying.
The usual suspects dismiss it as if labour have promised free ice cream.

Seems odd that for someone related to a high-ranking politician, the only results when googling this seems to be Guido Fawkes, which doesn't exactly go into much detail (but who goes to that site for detail anyway).

Well I hope they all get out there and vote and stop the oldies voting in a lying racist on December 12...

Old people, especially those with Alzheimer's and dementia should be banned from voting.
They should be replaced with people aged 16+.

may as well be free ice cream - what use is broadband without computers or tablets, so will they be free? the promise is to provide free fibre broadband, which goes far beyond a necessary level and becomes vastly expensive (at least 4 times more) than a simple FTTC broadband service. to deliver this they will nationalise Openreach and by default most the rest of the telecoms industry (there will be no need for other services). surely better to fund more modest universal service provision (to cover the uneconomic parts of the country) and throw a billion at libraries, all done for a fraction the total cost and follow consequences to economy?

Very good points.

Didn't that quote notoriously bite him in the arse?

Truly alarming, but hardly surprising given that you have previously stated that thick people should not be given the vote either. But do keep going, because it is important for people to be fully aware of the type of society you and your ilk would want.

Look pretty white to me.I give you-The New EU Commission.

View attachment 117776

You know individual member states put forward commissioners, the EU itself does not select them outright (although there is some due process)? Therefore the blame lies with members states. For example the UK have put forward white males on all bit one occasion (a woman).

Good summary of your target Tory voter in this election

At least they would have contributed to our society. You on the other hand offer nothing, a drain on society.
