Current Affairs The General Election

[The binman chronicles]

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

Absolute mad some of you lot.

I think this is great news, we should be using this index to compare living standards across Europe on a daily basis.

The lib dems are terrible. But not as terrible as the tories. Where I live there is no point voting labour or green, so I will vote lib dem this time and try to get the tories out. The catalyst for this further discussion was the topic of the general election. Is that permitted?

Don’t ask me mate, I don’t make the rules.

I don’t think much of the current Tories, the Lib Dem’s could have been a force but Swinson is mad as a hare.

I don't pay tons of attention to British politics so I could well be wrong but didn't Sajid Javid suggest raising the minimum wage to £10.50 only 2 months ago ?

If so why is everyone pissing themselves over labour now suggesting it ?

Yes he did, although that is within 5 years.

For what it's worth @tsubaki and I have disagreed on here in the past, but they've always seemed pleasant enough.

See if you feel the same after the cowardly rat tells you to go read the S*n and then tries to squirm out of it afterwards.

Odd definition of pleasant.

Anyway, arsed. Back to the GE chat.

Because it was/is structured over 5 years. Rather than near doubling the wage overnight.

It's not an odd definition of 'pleasant' if it's based on my experience.

It doesn't have to be your opinion.

I suspect if I had your experience I may have a different opinion.

Not nice to call anyone a S*n reader, obviously. T may have struck deeper than intended it you are still sore two years on. Might be nice to take that back? Hypocrite's also not nice. Nor cowardly rat.

What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding?

 

[Jebus_lives]

This should play well

Love this thread at times .... Keeps on giving

I mean, you did exactly that. You didn't have the courage to admit it then, and you still don't now.

Here it is for anyone who can't see what a rank hypocrite this individual is https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/2017-general-election.95980/page-39#post-5400547

Absolute stone-cold coward who'll plumb any depths should anyone question your view.

Wow, are you really still upset by that?

I'd say calling someone a 'stone-cold coward' is much more offensive than whatever it is you're still on your high horse about.

If we’ve learned anything, it should be that we are only allowed to discuss how terrible the Tories/Lib Dems are.

Do not use events as a catalyst for further discussion. This forum now needs to be a Gogglebox style instant reaction to the blunders of those two parties.

Good grief an absolute nonsense.

Welcome to the politics of me myself and I.

I'm in a Lib/Plaid/Green and Con/Brx pact area, which is Con/Lib marginal. Have voted LibDem in the past, not anymore. Mainly down to job I have which brings me in to contact with people who are supported by benefit system not unemployment as such but long term sick. That coalition government along with voting record of Swinson, nasty vindictive politics, they really put the boot into people with long enduring Mental Health problems...

I'll be voting in a Con/Lab marginal but have been asking myself if I'd be able to bring myself to hypothetically vote LD tactically if it was necessary and I genuinely think I'd find it difficult this time based purely on their media appearances so far. I'm curious to see what their manifesto will look like though.

Had Clegg and wife in my constituency several times throughout 2010 and 2015 campaigns, always made a beeline for 3rd sector mental health setup singing the virtues of 3rd mental health support, empty promises and stab in the back. I kid you not the sewage pipes burst in the street where this 3rd sector set up was when Clegg and his wife turned up 2015, the irony.

Bet BJ is wishing he waited until spring for the election now with the floods and NHS news. lol

If the others can't make inroads off the back of this then God help us all.
