Current Affairs The General Election

[zzr45]

I agree that what the Tories have done in the last ten years is what Labour should be focusing on - and just this evening, there is something else to condemn - but really this debate over £15 just illustrates what a mountain Labour have to climb. Somehow apparently six people who work in South London branches of McDonalds have generated about a dozen pages of condemnation, over two days, on an Everton forum because someone else supported them taking strike action.

I mean what this government is responsible for - Brexit, boosting Scottish independence, increasing the national debt, kicking British people out of Britain, removing "red tape" with entirely predictable consequences, Universal Credit, allying with some incredibly dodgy characters across the globe and managing to destabilize the middle east even more than Blair did - should be obvious. It should not need Labour or anyone else to make people not vote Tory, especially given how many people have been impacted by what they have done.

lol
Rattled.

Yes, I am. Between 35 and 40% of our country are about to vote for someone who they know is going to ruin them, and we have the likes of you going around trying to make it happen.

Ok let’s do that for a Big Mac meal

UK price - https://uk.menuwithprice.com/mcdonalds-menu/ £4.69

Danish price - https://www.expatistan.com/price/big-mac/copenhagen 77kr - roughly 8.68. So just under double the price.

So, yes what I said this morning fully stands. Thanks for believing in me.

You’ve used different types of meal there - from different websites. The Big Mac Index states $4.5 for a Big Mac in Denmark and $4.1 in UK.

'The likes of me'

Yes. I forced Corbyn to put out an absolutely ridiculous tweet which supported near doubling the wage of some workers, proving he deals more in ideology than reality.

It was all me. Jesus wept.

Yes, the likes of you. Have you even acknowledged that those workers have other demands than the £15 one yet?

edit: sorry, yes you have - you think all of them are insane

It’s used to measure the age of the lads in the Park End by their waistlines

Why are you doing this again ffs. You called me a S*n reader last time for no reason too

What an odd post for someone claiming to be an undecided voter.

Prices of Big Macs across Europe being compared is a new one for a general election.

Absolute mad some of you lot.

I do not want to, and am not going to, get into that again.

The point with this is that here we are, for the better part of two days now, focusing on one line in a tweet Corbyn put out in support of some workers going on strike. The same posters making the same points they've been making for the past three years when we all know what it is going to be like if the Tories win.

They don't like Corbyn, I get it. Do we have to have pages and pages of criticism of this kind every day?

Quite.

Although I fear this may be a problem with this tweet. It gets the 'fight every point' crowd riled and focusses the attention on something that by and large I doubt most people in the UK will have the appetite to care about much less support.

Let me tell you something, you know the people who are responsible for Corbyn being unelectable? You.

You sneer at everyone who has the nerve to disagree with what Corbyn has to say, literally talking down to people like they are stupid for holding different opinions. People are tired of being told they are completely wrong for being worried about the unintended consequences that many of these policies tend to have. You defend completely batsh*t insane Labour policies to the hilt, that even the more moderate Labour supporters on here disregard.

You want to know the worst thing though? You actually think your political beliefs make you a better person than others. You literally don't get that the backlash to Corbyn is because of zealots like you who whinge, belittle and gripe to the point where it's actually hard to take him seriously.

You want to get people to vote for Labour stop acting like a superior to people. It's grating. As someone thats a floating voter in this election, your attitude (among other Labour supporters) puts me completely off voting for Labour. I completely want to stop Brexit, but if I'm then putting someone into Downing Street who seemingly is putting ideology above the realities of the economy and the way British society is structured then I'd rather not vote at all.

So save me the dramatics sweetheart, start thinking about how YOU are representing the politics that you want people to vote for.
