Panicking billionaires.....
 
Not shocked one bit just surprised it's taken them this long. But yes utter scum the brainwashed masses will believe it to sadly.
It's more sinister than that, Guido Fawkes who broke this 'story' had been tweeting a few weeks back that people should keep an eye out for the front pages of the Scum and Mail on the day before election day. They've deliberately sat on the story so as to prevent any response from Labour.
 
Those front pages would be laughable if it weren't for the number of brain dead people who believe that sort of nonsense.
Yea, it's a solid percentage they've been cultivating for years. Hopefully some will now realise the true colours of the spiv cartel.
 
...I'm afraid the terrorist incidents came at a pivotal time for Labour within this campaign, just when they had momentum over the Alzheimer's Tax etc. Tragic as those incidents have been they have provided May with respite. Whilst her record on immigration is poor, Diane Abbotts pathetic performance when interviewed by Sky about security matters provided the electorate with a reminder of the alternative.

Add to this Corbyn's record of voting against terrorism legislation 17 times, his preference for open borders and John McDonnell's views that MI5 should be scrapped and there should be no armed police officers on our streets, and Labour don't look like a party the electorate want at this moment.

Whilst Corbyn seems a highly principled man, I fear there are too many skeletons in his cupboard for him to ever be electable to top office. If May wins but not with the expected landslide, I could be saying the same in 5 years time which will be a real shame.

Saying that, I'm voting Labour and my daughter who's a hospital doctor has arranged her proxy for me to do the same.

Good to see an impartial criticism of both leaders, haha.

I wonder what will happen to the LDs after this election, and whether Tim Farron will remain as leader? If the polls are right they have bled support through the campaign from an already low base, showing that his choice to position themselves as the "Anti-Brexit" party has been catastrophic and ill judged.

It seems that Britain is moving back to the old 2-party domination (Scotland aside) that characterized it post-war.
