Current Affairs The General Election

Well done lads, fallen for Tory lies once again.

Please don't retort with "lol well it is Abbott it's believable" they are playing you for fools

 

[flibbyflob]

Yes it's Dianne Abbot not wearing the correct shoes that will lose the election...

There are many more reasons to call her out than wearing odd shoes. The top brass did well to hide her from the limelight this last month as she was a car crash in the previous election. Her wearing odd shoes is just funny though. Gives us a laugh on a day of tension.

Ah, "whataboutery" - of course.

AKA a retort or a reply Tubes. You are better than this pettiness

I bet Jacob Rees Mogg gets his shoes right every time, yet he's been hidden away from the limelight all the way through the election.

As you say, many reasons to criticise politicians and there are reasons to criticise Dianne Abbot. Being photoshopped wearing the wrong shoes is not one of them.

The thing is, it's not even funny, it's just stupid. There is no wit, no effort that's gone into it, it's a pure smear piece from newspaper designed to reel in the gullible and precisely the type of person that thinks wearing the wrong shoes is more import than policy.

I voted labour. Toyed with voting green but my seat is pretty tight historically.

Still can't see anything other than a tory majority and if so Corbin has to go

I think there'll be a lot of people like you: not being able to sit on the fence and / or allow themselves to vote for the Tory-Fascist Party.

Trust me Dave, if there was a better option, I wouldn't have gone Labour. Even if the seat was safer (I still think its safe, but maybe not) I would probably have then gone YP. I've gone Green in the past but their policies are now as nonsensical as the Extinction Rebellion demands.

I believe at its core this party has good policies. But... there is a bit of 'for the greater good' about it and anyone who raises valid criticisms seems to get shouted down. It has massive issues.

If the future wasn't so bleak under the Tories, I'd happily see this current party dismantled and swatted aside and hopefully a better one to come out of it. But we are where we are and its the best of an incredibly bad bunch.

Also, just on a local level, I like where I live and so I see no massive reason for change in my constituency.

Ah, "whataboutery" - of course.

Ah you've been had by a photoshopped picture. Of course

And ordinarily whataboutism relies on me calling you a hypocrite or framing you as such for something you've done or said. I haven't. It's not a fallacy to compare the two options.

 

[Khalekan]

I voted Labour in the end. I didn't decide until the moment I crossed the x in the box.

Anyway, we'll see what happens.

If Labour don't win, I'd like to see some responsibility. No blame game. No pinning it on everyone else.

It's a disastrous party atm and its only saving grace is the Tories are miles worse.

I would have voted Yorkshire Party but I believe it's a less than 10k Lab majority in my constituency and I don't want the Brexit Party getting in.

Good on ya, Toff

Sensible choice. I hope there's going to be that final assessment all over the north and midlands.

 

[davek]

Tories apparently in a blind panic trying to target "nine constituencies" they say will give them the majority they need...however, the message has been sent out to the electorates of 20 constituencies.

Lol. I'd laugh my bollox off is they failed to win a majority.

Man’s hair routinely looks like he’s been dragged through a hedge backwards - “gives him a charming, authentic air”

Woman (allegedly) wears mismatched shoes once - “burn the witch”!

Every election, this lie finds traction on social media.

I hope anyone who can walk into a polling station that doubles as a foodbank and votes Tory doesn't require the use of the NHS in the next decade.

Amazing isn't it, as if a polling clerk would enforce something that is so obviously illegal
