Current Affairs 2017 General Election

[orchard]

There you go @peteblue a couple of things here that could inspire you:
I) Vote for what's right as opposed to some dogmatic herd mentality.
II) realise that senior con's have done exactly the same as jc

I was ashamed to be a Labour supporter when Brown pushed for the 90-day thing.

Those who drafted the Magna Carta in 1215 must have been spinning in their graves.

At the time I was living in David Davis' constituency in Yorkshire. He called a by-election in protest at the policy and I voted for him, the only time I've ever voted for a Tory and the only time I ever will.

Never let it be said that UKIP aren't snide opportunistic gutter trash by launching their manifesto today.

Maybe they are what you say, but they probably do need to launch it before the ge -- unless may's reneged on that as well.

I'm sure they do, but it seems shady as to do it today while the other parties are inactive.

The Con's haven't been inactive really as their media campaign has continued (see LBC above), and I got chod from them via snail-mail. Also, the press, as far as I can ascertain, have failed to ask probing questions regarding her failure to respond to direct tip-offs whilst HS, and armed with lots of new anti-terrorist legislation and powers.

Besides, may would be hiding away anyway, especially after her drubbing.

I think it's great that they've done it today, so we can laugh at its contents:

3,000 terrorist subjects in this country - only 9 with electronic tags - anyone returning from a war zone known to be a armed fighter of Islam beliefs should have been internment automatically- this Manchester event aledgedly could have a 100 plus ring one guy radicalising 50 UK residents per month - whatever government who gets in this is a major problem that's why tight border control is a necessity!

I heard they wanted to reintroduce capital punishment for all suicide bombers.

As posts go, Bruce, brilliant! Perhaps any caught before the act should immediately be given the job of deck hand on a submarine...

Too soon?

I had to look up what taupe was.

Too soon?

Unfortunately it's true

Ha was just about to share that. Mentalists.

I think that is a wind-up, it isn't in the version of the manifesto thats on their website.

One of the con's initiatives that's actually been costed getting ripped by the bbc for being inaccurate (free breckies). Forgot to a/c for staffing apparently. Presumably they thought the infants would draw up a cooking rota and they'd appoint prefects to open-up...
