General Election - December 12th, 2019

[Ban-jani]

U mean u read the headlines and maybe a bit more depending on coverage and paywalls.
The ludicrous situation is that you seem to think the press is balanced.

It’s obviously a quick look but spending up to 10 mins on any site gives you enough time to figure out what the narrative is and what angle they’re getting at.

The Independent is very much anti-Tory and Brexit and the Telegraph is pro-Tory and Brexit. To have a quick look you get to see both points of view and attacks.

My entire point is that the press isn’t balanced, it’s very partisan but if you read from both a left and right view, you can normally determine a balanced view for yourself.

How you’re not getting my point is ridiculous.

Unfortunately Len, you’re an extremist so only the Morning Star is a legitimate paper for you.

this was brilliant.

few days ago... Asked if he had ever eaten at Greggs Boris said: "What? You mean like a pasty or a sausage roll? Have I ever not had a Greggs?! I am made of Greggs. ''

Nick Ferrari - ''tell me Prime Minister, how much is a Greggs Sausage Roll ? '' ..... BJ ''..I er erm no, not sure ''

..''a pound prime minister''

It wouldn't matter if it was just 280 - 290 - nobody should feel threatened which is why Corbyn keeps saying he has spent his life confronting racism. The upshot is in an ideal world nobody should feel thsat way.

Correct, they shouldn't, yet precisely because of Corbyn, many are fleeing if he gets power. Corbyn's method of dealing
with any serious issues, be it this one, or terrorist incidents, is the same mealy mouthed, all encompassing, ''I condemn all....,''

You get the picture.
I've not heard any muslims claim they'll be doing the same if Johnson gets in.
Consider that.

I wouldn’t be able to tell you that either.

Is this newsworthy?

Does Corbyn know? If so I may vote for him then.

Maybe they just prefer some liars to others or the liars they like to the ones they don't or the ones they know to the ones they don't. Maybe some are so gullible they think only one side is lying or that only the rich perpetuate nonsense or that Labour never tries to bypass subjects they don't like with fabricated distractions. Maybe most people don't like being lied to at all but still choose to vote for the lesser evil.
Like O'Brien didn't say - what if this turns out to be a downright calumny by Corbyn? Would you change your mind about him? Somehow I don't think you would no matter what he's done. Blind hatred poisons everything including the capacity for critical thinking.

What I HATE is the open bare faced lying to our faces.

There's nothing "blind" about it.

Thatcher did it, Blair did it, Cameron did and now Johnson.

There's an A-Z pathway there.

Standard of our politicians has surely never been as low.

Whilst true generally that narrative suits the Tories because Johnson is one of the worse , so to paint them all the same suits them.

what the fuck has that got to do with anything. Our Pm needs to know how much a sausage roll is at greggs . Who knows or cares. I absolutely have no idea.

Hang on, which is it?

Has he apologised or not?

I can see you sat there all smug posting this.

Wow, you're so clever for your own good you actually didn't even read the ARTICLE written by the BBC in my post.

Well done, Sherlock.

 

[Bigga]

Ahh because an actual person with Jewish heritage answering the exact points you put in your question... upsets you?

You really don't like Jews, do you.

Have you got an accusation of anti-semitism you'd like to levy?

Don't be a coward.

If not, STFU!!

You’ve lost your marbles mate, the cult has got you.
