General Election - December 12th, 2019

[Metal Biker]

It’s defo not over a few more twists and turns and old tweets and quotes to dig out. A few more freebies from labour and it could be closer than people predict.

It feels like the nation made a collective shrug over their reveal of the 451 page document.

If their trump card isn't persuading voters...

 

[Bigga]

You fear nutcases, not a particular religion

Exactly.

Nutcases are the world over and in places you don't/ won't expect.

A few more freebies from Labour will completely screw them. Most of the electorate don't believe the country can afford what they've already promised (righly so imo).

My son Whatsapped me today, anxious about the GE and his first such vote.

Don’t want to push him one way or the other. Needs to make his own mind up.

I'll WhatsApp you a Xmas message to ease your pain.

No pain, only pity.

If the polls are correct (and they have known to be wrong in the past!), and the lovely Boris strolls in with a majority, this place will be really, REALLY fun that weekend. Those poor mods will be working their arses off!

You'll have a lovely cup of tea and a rest. All sides will accept the result with maturity,decency and respect. The unity will shine through as a positive message for not only this forum, but the nation as a whole.

Theres always an election surprise. An event out of all parties control that will swing it.

I fear it'll be Trump playing Bertie big bollocks with the Chinese and an international economic crisis ensues.

 

[The blue phantom]

Is that not just because the Tories actually suspend people whilst Labour make antisemites their leader?

They are not very good at sorting Islamophobia out though are they Ban?

So when the rabi has a pop at Corbyn its none stop 24 hours a day all fuckin week.

Muslim council of britain have complained about certain Tory candidate's Islamaphobic views, and fuckall.

Even Warsi has had enough of it in her party.

https://www.theguardian.com/politic...y-islamophobia-muslim-prejudice-investigation.

Its amazing how it gets little to no coverage in the news.

Ive just read 20 pages on Corbyn of pure bile and fuck all to do with the thread title either.

Oh and the Tories have made a Racist their leader!

Sounds like you've been supping something stronger than tea, fella. Whichever side loses (the loony lefties, it's looking like) will never, NEVER accept the result.

[Turks Head Again]

If the Tories are so islamophobic , why did they make Sajid Javid chancellor ?
And why is Priti Patel where she is ?

We remember the original Bday.

Brexit referendum result. It was quiet as a mouse on here*

[Ban-jani]

It was originally a question I asked in response to the tweet you posted......still no explanation

There wasn’t a stone unturned by either of us but if you feel we’ve missed something, please.. ask again.

 

[Bigga]

"Get Brexit done!" says Beloved PM, "Fuck everything else!"


No apologies for anything and nothing's changed from then to now.

Don't lead him down a garden path of semantics, mate. ;)

How many complaints are there currently in the party?

Corbyn is a fucking disgrace that’s why mate. 50% of British Jews are considering leaving the country if he becomes Prime Ministers and 86% think he’s antisemitic.

Is that not a problem to you?

 

[BlueAnorak]

oh sorry - it was autobiographical then?

Nice reply

thats like saying you can't be a racist as some people you work with and the guy who cuts your hair are black ffs........if Labour are racist then why does the Jewish Labour Movement exist - thats the level or your argument

Yes i do mate and its shocking from both parties.

ive no idea how black folk think about the shocking things johnson has said either.

I was merely saying the Torys are fuckin riddled with Islamaphobia.

 

[meltonblue]

Both parties have issues with racism and antisemitism within their ranks. Couple that with the leaders of the two parties, it creates a real issue in this election in that a few voters (myself included) who are in a position where they feel they cannot vote for either. If they also believe the EU referendum should be honoured, then there really isn’t a viable option aside from a spoilt ballot.

The coverage issue is a different point and I do have sympathy with the criticism of bias in the reporting. That’s what happens with a (very) predominately right wing media though.

When their own members/politicians are saying there’s a problem I believe them but I’m uncomfortable with the word Islamophobia. Do they mean they hate Muslims? If so that’s wrong and very wrong.

I haven’t seen the stats with the Tories though, to fully understand the extent to which it’s in the party.

What I do know is how bad antisemitism is in Labour and when literally half of British Jews are that scared they might leave the country, that’s not just alarm bells, that’s a deafening siren that’s knocked me off my feet.

This is Britain for fuck sake, not 1930’s Germany.
