Current Affairs The General Election

[Mutzo Nutzo]

I'm now scottish and will from this day forth reside in the highlands.

Nae geen a feck.

The total circulation of those two is under 2.5M, Boris got nearly 4M more votes than Corbyn.....

3 649 146 according to official figures.
However it is very likely that that each of those 2.5M propoganda sheets infected at least 4 people. There! 10M people exposed to lies.

I agree. Northern towns didn’t desert labour because of Corbyns socialist policies.

Labour's manifesto benefited greatly 95% of the population in this country, only those earning above 80k were going to get a little squeeze.

Not really, all that "free" stuff has to come from somewhere.

 

[Lanolin]

As far I can see the tories hadn’t ‘won’ two of the last 3 elections at all and the one they did win was with a very small majority

You can quibble over semantics if you like, but if you end up in power you've won as far as i'm concerned.

It was costed, billions was coming from the corporation tax rise to 26%, still below Italy, Germany, France who have much higher rates.

Unless you had a pension or any shares, were married, stood to inherit your parents home, ran your own business or a whole heap of other areas. The 95% was a huge lie.

would have won mate, brexit when put to the voting public,(not the internet world,) is a winner, referendum won , Bexit party stormed the european election, tories jumped aboard a proven winner and romped to victory.
meanwhile i was backing a donkey in the last race ridden by a fella with more in common with Don quixote than a champion jockey.

That internet world was extremely influential in initiating the idea of Brexit and propelling its momentum.
Have you ever heard of Cambridge Analytica (would be interested to know)
If you haven't have a look at The Great Hack on Netflix

 

[Eggs]

Absolutely pathetic this.

The fella has been a key part in a major foodbank that is keeping people alive in this city.

...and good on him for that, but it doesn’t mean he’s the right person for high-office.

"No values, no decency." Genuinely pathetic.

I'd say hang your head in shame but you'll probably just sod off back to the bookies with your I'm alright jack ways.

No mate. Cambridge Analytica seems like it should have been a big deal. It was not. Most data is useless.

Remainers can carry on deluding themselves. The likes of Starmer would be faced with the same problem.

If you think we all wouldn't get hit by tax rises in some form or another you're dreaming.

...this is why Labour lost. Virtue-signalling and demanding the entire country fall in sync is not an appealing look.
