Current Affairs 2017 General Election

Why didn't he ask her about the 20,000 reduction in Police Officers near the end...?

No idea mate.

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

I'm not sure what I've done to deserve the attention. I wouldn't mind, but it was one of the least controversial things I've said in this thread

Utterly, laughably abysmal. Parroting Tory sh*te by rote, not answering a single question, a rabbit in the headlights.

The woman is abject and not fit to hold office. Strong and stable by arsenal football club.

VOTE LABOUR FOR A NEW KIND OF POLITICS!

Clint,
politics and the election are emotive enough without the use of even widely accepted poor language.
Express your opinions and debate openly, but can the bad language please.
Cheers

Hang on , 38 votes? Someone's either done the decent thing or is a sneaky little ratbag who doesn't fancy being found out they're vile!

 

[tsubaki]

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.

She has been worse than abject.

There are reports circulating that one of the London Bridge / Borough Market scum may have been someone else who we let go to Libya and fight.

Been talking to a lot of people today and sadly they believe all the rubbish in the papers... even saying he stood on a platform in 2002 with an Isis flag... till I pointed out Isis were not around in 2002...

 

[AndyC]

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

Mate,
As in my response to Clint, please refrain from using bad language.
By all means discuss and debate, but let's try and not deliberately avoid the swear filter.
Cheers

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.

As for the policies: https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/2017-general-election.95980/page-206#post-5468046

Is Lynn Brown still nasty? Or was it just in 2011? Or is it just yet another way to attack Corbyn with lies, slurs and innuendos?


This is what you believe is wrong with Corbyn's economic policies.

May just be easier to list them...

• Increases in personal taxation - for the 5% very good policy.
• Increase in Corporation Tax (Will cost jobs, and won't raise anywhere near the 19.4bn they think) - no evidence it will cost jobs. Who are they that think it will not raise £19.4billion.
• Rail renationalisation - vast amounts of public money subsidise the railways now, and goes into shareholders pockets, without it the rail companies would have to put up their prices for an inferior service. Not only very popular but very practical.
• Plan to control the energy grid - the cost of energy is extortionate and they should be re-nationalised.
• Abolition of tuition fees - seems a very good idea.
• Fracking ban - fracking is a very substandard way to get energy.
• Ban of zero hour contracts (Only exploitative contracts should be banned) - a very good idea to ban zero hour contracts. Employ people on guaranteed contracts.
• Excessive pay levy - absolutely brilliant idea.

No point focusing on the polls - they've been wrong before and could be wrong again. Make sure you get friends/relatives out to vote - it could actually make a difference.

Can sadly see the Labour Party getting thrashed tomorrow.

Some serious changes need to happen before we can win an election again.

I suppose one positive way to look at it is that they're gaining a strong, vocal support amongst 18-34 year olds. Hopefully that trend continues into the elections in the coming years.

 

[Old Blue 2]

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.

It starts with this: "...That problem when you replace the incompetent lady with a nasty one..." Remember? Then hullefc questioned you about the comment, and so it rolled on over the next 10 pages. I'm sure you must remember the exchanges, after all, you've replied to them!

One should not criticise anyone big enough to turn away from the Dark Side, Brother Twain.
