Think it might be a damp squib. I will watch the exit poll and, if they're not forecasting a landslide, go to bed. Get up at 4 ish when it gets interesting.
 
PS Tory manifesto update.
Fallon on Newsnight last night stated that the Tory net migration target of 'tens of thousands' was just an aim,an objective. He refused to confirm it was official government policy.
Timescale? Err......no.
Any costings? ( OBR has calculated it would cost the country billions) err.......no.
Carry on.
 
May needs to up her ffin game quickly , she is taking people for granted at the moment, a few Tories I know are switching over.

Pull your finger out ffs, labour are trying much harder at the moment.

All I'm saying is that in the manifesto the Tories have said that they want to ban internet pornography. In fact to quote it, they say "internet pornography should be as difficult to obtain online as it is in the high street".

You lot do with this information as you wish.

Well that's about a thousand extra votes for Labour from this site alone.
It's all going wrong for the Tories.

Are you simply mistaken or deliberately trying to mislead people? I can only assume the latter, since you've edited the quote.

The actual line is "(it should be) as hard for children to access violent and degrading pornography online as it is in the high street."

Unless you want your kids freely accessing violent and degrading porn, I can't see anyone having a problem with this.

She's bargaining on Corbyn being unelectable, but it's one he'll of a gamble. If Labour fielded a competent candidate, she'd be dead in the water.

Vast amounts of free online porn and free care in my home are what I had in mind for my twilight years. The Tories want to fuck with these things so it's jezza for me.

Big Brother is already watching you mate ( Snooper's Charter).
And if the Tories state controlled internet comes into force ( as per their manifesto) then we're gonna party like it's 1984.

Tbh I don't care who knows what I look at online, just so long as they don't access my web cam and take pics of my wanking/cum face and put them on twitter.

She is definitely dragging the Conservatives to the left (centre) and not the right as some were claiming - and doing it by stealing Labour's clothes

Privately senior Labour leaders must be right pissed off

Privately Tory right wingers and Mail and Express readers must be fuming too.

Enjoy it by spending it and helping the economy rather than saving it?

The sheer hypocrisy is fucking astounding on this thread.

you mis understand my post - I was pointing out that kind of behaviour could be encouraged by this policy - it reduces the rewards for hard work such as saving - bettering yourself and getting a bigger and better house ( something a lot in recent years have seen as their "pension " )

I see the Mail loves the new cuddly conservatism....

"Unashamedly moral", putting the needs of "ordinary" working families first, a better deal for "mainstream" Britain.

It takes a special type of chutzpah to put the word "honest" next to a picture of May.

Who says words don't matter.

Yesterdays front page on the Mail was " Now you won't have to sell your home to pay for social care " - conveniently missing off the 2nd part of the policy " whilst you are alive"

This is mostly because of Brexit where even this hard left Labour have moved right although I am still unsure of exactly what they want to achieve. Labour voters have a dilemma on Brexit and that is whether to trust Corbyn to not relent on everything or they may have to take their vote elsewhere. May moving to the left is completely about appealing to those people who both want a strong Brexit response but whom also traditionally vote Labour.

She already stands to hoover up the vast majority of UKIP votes and if she can grab at least some appreciable percentage of Labour voters who are torn between trusting Corbyn then she stands to win big no matter what she does between now and June.

Labour are peddling the hope campaign and they are trying desperately to take things away from Brexit but it is the big issue of the day unfortunately and I imagine this election will be a very simple decision on who trusts who to do the best in the negotiations. The silent majority will unfortunately sway towards Brexit on their decision and on other issues the status quo will remain. I think to many such a huge change to this Labour lot will pose too great a risk with the added risk Brexit may pose in the near future.

No-one in the real world is going to vote on the basis of what might happen with Brexit. OK, before the literalists get going, not no-one, but not many.

They're confident of victory, so they're piling on the policies they've always dreamt about, which in "normal times" would have been rejected, for fear of scaring the electorate. When the victory they are confident of achieving is handed to them, they will do this with a smile and so much more. These bastards will do an untold damage to those they don't give a shit about.

She's deliberately making sure that she doesn't win by a landslide. Playing it ultra safe by maintaining the lowest of profiles, ditching a few hostage to fortune policies. She'll probably end up with a 60 - 70 seat majority. Enough to push through her brexit legislation without having to worry about Dorries & Co. Enough to allow her to claim a personal mandate. Enough to keep Corbyn in his job.
