Current Affairs 2017 General Election

[Old Blue 2]

Well, Ted Heath was a moron. He also hasn't been chosen to step in for Diane Abbott, on account of him being dead.

That answer is the refuge of the defeated...

Joking, mate. I know. I'm praying with you.

Is there any chance Clint? Haven't paid too much attention to the recent polls (Probably wisely seeing as they're all b*llocks)

How does it go, Jesus christ. Your tribalism has been well and truly displayed, "That problem when you replace the incompetent lady with a nasty one:" and is quite unsavoury. And you claimed you knew it was from 2011 but never indicated - that is a very unsavoury way to bait Labour supporters and Corbyn. Implying that he wouldn't bat an eyelid to promote 'a nasty one' - the same lies, slurs and innuendos used against Corbyn since he stood for leader of the Labour Party.

I don't have to bet that Johnson is 'a nasty one', he has constantly showed his true colours.

I've voted Labour, Lib Dem and Tory in my life. I vote on policies, not on party lines. I've also expressed my begrudging admiration for Corbyn (even though I disagree with many of his policies). Quite how that makes me tribal, I'll never know, but if it suits your argument, go with it!

But I'm more than happy to accept your premise about Johnson's nastiness - as stated previously, I'm not a huge fan.

You've lost me... me, defeated, or good old Ted?

Around 10-15% chance

Seeing that the unsavoury baiting of Labour supporter with the 'nasty one' jibe, has been dropped by you.

Which policies do you disagree with?

I wasn't baiting anybody. I was expressing my opinion that I think she seems pretty nasty. By your thinking, every opinion ever expressed on here could be classed as baiting (which is patently nonsense).

And most of his economic policies, although there was some decent stuff wedged into the manifesto.

If you don't understand my post, it goes a long way to explaining all your other posts...

Here's a clue: Ted Heath DID NOT reply to my post...

I'm sure you're completely right, whatever it was you meant!

If you can't work out something simple like that, then I'm not going to explain it to you...

Carry on with you Tory propaganda, what!!!

I think I get it, it was the defeated bit that threw me, as I'm not sure what I've been defeated at...

But thanks for the encouragement RE: propaganda, I clearly need to improve as I've spent most of the election slagging them off.

Is she still 'pretty nasty in your opinion? Or has she just been brought to your attention again, by the Telegraph and twitter, and you deem her 'a nasty one'?

You disagree with 'most of his economic policies', which ones are they?

Let him do his usual shouty sweary pointless stuff, it's a fairly tiresome trope now and ends the same way anyway

Not much, I don't think - though I'm struggling to understand why. The Labour Manifesto was almost universally acclaimed; the Tory one reviled and ridiculed. May has been utterly abject; Corbyn extremely impressive.

God help us all.

Yes. As I said a few posts ago, I genuinely am sorry if you disagree with that, but it's not really something I'm going to change my mind on, so it seems like a waste of both of our time to argue about it.
