Current Affairs 2017 General Election

[Old Blue 2]

can you play us something we've heard of mate ?
Wonderwall ?

Ya mean you've never heard 'After midnight' by JJ Cale, covered by Eric Clapton? Sheesh!

 

[jal123]

Mate, please leave the bad language out of it.

Emotions are bound to run high and we'd rather not have to start moderating, but we will !!

Thank you.

He's right though

How is it hard to grasp mate?

I didn't vote for May, who I think is woeful (and I can quote a post from 2011 on here with me saying as such); I voted against Corbyn. He ran a tremendous campaign, but I disagree with him fundamentally on his personal ideology, and as he is the Labour leader, that means I disagree with Labour.

I also loathe the Labour administration in Kirkby/Knowsley on a local level, because they take the electorate for granted.

It's that simple. I don't see how any of that is baffling.

So you agree with the Tories - according to your logic - cuts and all the harassment of the sick, poor, disabled and vulnerable, as you voted for the Tories led by May.

Is there an international broadcast or stream of coverage? BBC website, maybe? Would be fun to see an election night that doesn't make me utterly nauseous.

bbc here too

 

[AndyC]

The BBC now referring to Corbyn as a 'politician to be reckoned with' ! Sod off Tories you'll all be the first out on ya arses !

Donald, still a long way to go.

 

[Goat]

Had to put the tory on ignore, very unsavoury actions.

 

[Sapie88]

Imagine voting for the Tories just to stick two fingers up the Jeremy Corbyn.

Talk about cutting your nose off to spite your face.

Goodness grief.

I don't get your point on Knowsley. They don't take you for granted, they're getting bum-banged by the central government and having their funds reduced almost the most of any area in the country. It's an obvious plan to dishearten a Labour stronghold. You're naive and a class traitor but I value your right to hold a terrible opinion.

 

[jal123]

As for my vote doesn't matter. In Walton I could've voted for the fella that owns the boozer I drink in, cos it wouldn't matter...

I could've voted for anyone else cos it wouldn't matter, but I'd never vote Tory


Vote Tory you're a Tory end of

On BBC world news if you have that?

That's as maybe mate, I'm just asking that we all try and refrain from using bad language.

Let's 'enjoy' the election without the need for moderation.

 

[Tubey]

That's fine mate, if you're into the Tories, then just say. I'm sure you've got your reasons. Just drop the illusion that you're a traditional Labour voter is all.

It's not an "illusion" - I've voted for them every election except one, where I voted for... God don't make me admit it...

*sigh* I voted for the Lib Dems in 2010...

I disagree with the hard Brexit nonsense, fox hunting, the hitting the poor and helping the rich, but those red lines aren't as strong for me as dismantling Trident and risking our long term national security and having a tax plan that relies on Corporation Tax receipts that will vanish as soon as businesses stop growing, stop investing here and go elsewhere or simply evade any new laws.

That's the way it is.

See my post above, but believe what you want.

 

[mixed_up]

so who is gonna win and does this mean more staged, pre-planned terrorist attacks and world wars or not?

Illogical, but that's the Tories for you.
