That's how I read it too. How did you read it?

You think half the people who answered one question in the positive were all the people who answered the second one in the negative?

What happened to the 22% who didn’t like it the first time?

Ah OK. See where you're coming from. I didn't read Pete's post properly.

NP; most people said they didn’t know, which is fair enough given the policy was only launched within the last 48 hours.

Yeah I saw all that. I just missed the point that Pete stipulated that half of the people who wanted free broadband didn't want to see BT nationalised. He may be right but it's impossible to say that for certain.

There’s always a weird inference from some, that when ya say “healthcare should be free (at point of access)”, they think that means “you just want someone else to pay for it”.

No, it means I want to pay for it, through my taxes, as part of a well organised, well functioning society, ensuring that there’s a safety net for those less fortunate.

Thatcher's Kinder. Clueless. They know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

How much do you pay a year in taxes Dave?. Or do you not pay taxes?

Oh here we go: the neo-liberal attack dogs had his pressure point pinched.

I see today's news is about trees.

A step up from debating the hourly rate at Mickey D's

BMG-Independent poll shows the gap at 8% for them now.

In 3 weeks time on polling day I'd expect any Tory lead to be - poll of polls - around the 5%-6% mark.

I'm holding fast to my prediction of 6 months standing that we're heading toward a hung parliament.

lol

Absolute brass neck of some people.

A nice walk campaigning for the local Labour Party this afternoon - trying to get across the point that we're not all financially illiterate.

Some were receptive, some not (and I don't blame them)

The same poll last month only had the gap at 5 points, Boris has increased it to 8 points, I would expect a 10-11 point gap come polling day.......

Did not even imply anything about yourself...

Okay boomer

Tom Walker pretty much nails how I'm seeing things as usual
