Take a pen, you can use whatever you want. Never trust a Tory.

Brilliant

The tories will almost certainly win this election, but hopefully not by the landslide they may have expected. I will vote labour as always, even though I have many reservations re the heirarchy within the party. Anyone voting for Thatcherlite May will come to regret it within 12 months.

More from the BBC..
Can I vote if I've been drinking?
Yes. Polling station staff cannot refuse a voter simply because they are drunk or under the influence of drugs. Only if the voter is disruptive will they be asked to return when they have sobered up.

worried now!

tbh mate if you don't live here then it's not really effecting you tbf. jeremy corbyn can't do worse then Teresa may has. And all this labour bankrupts the country etc, well the tories are making people live like that now.

Unemployment rates are down, economy is up....only thing missing on paper is increased wages?

Zat, you patently do not live in the UK do you?
As @Connor said, this has to be one of your wackier posts.

How so? I think (but could be wrong) that a lot of people vote labour because of decades ago...times have changed

Corbyn has dealt with all the lies, slurs and innuendos regarding the 'terror situation' and the podium he has shared with 'terror organisations'. As far as he supported 'terror organisations', he hasn't and doesn't.

You maybe want to read the Labour manifesto - For the many, not the few', the 'pitch isn't to make everything free'.

Its a fact that he has visited certain places at the behest/request of certain known (and banned) terror groups.

So what... for many years, the only stamps I had on my passport were for East Germany, Russia and the Ukraine, does that make me a communist ?

For the record, I went there to watch ice hockey and needed invitations to qualify for the visas

Once they make a mess of Brexit and strip away everything else they've yet to take away, I hope people finally wise up to what they're doing/what they've done.

But in all honesty, I don't trust this country to finally wake up to them.

Should they win today, the best hope in the next five years is to get a job abroad and get as far away from here as possible.

I don't trust any politician Tory or labour!! Our once great nation is getting destroyed by these muppets.. I will vote labour but only because they are the lesser of two evils!! I don't believe a word any of them spout..

 

[Zatara]

Zat you have no idea what you're going on about. A Tory landslide would be utterly distarous.

Hell, a Tory win today is going to be flat out awful for so many of us.

Over the next five years of a Tory government; People are going to die because of their NHS stripping, people are going to die because of their continued war on benefits and people are going to die because of their inability to fund mental health programs.

Corbyn offers hope > Fear.

Fair play, ive no idea about benefits as I was off straight after uni into places where no benefits exist....so imo theres no need for benefits on a 'massive' scale only to those really in need (which sounds worse than I mean it to do)

What kind of benefits are going to be hit?

Yep, you're wrong mate.

Many, many, many people in this country are so sick of Tory austerity and favouring of the rich that they are now voting Labour not out of 'old loyalties cos that's what my Dad did' reasoning, but for a genuine sense of hope for the future.

Corbyn and the Labour Party are not perfect, but for the many they do offer hope of a better, fairer Britain.

were you invited by known terrorist groups?

And most importantly, none of those places would give you a suntan....why didn't he just state he was a geography teacher who was mixed up with his capital cities?

ok, so from outside and from a purely economical perspective....

Brexit + Labour = economy ruined.

Labour will very likely impose high business taxes and the companies/institutions already pondering downgrading in UK and moving head offices into Frankfurt and Paris would do so pronto...

Is it really favouring the rich? I think Singapore is a very interesting model to look at....
