I know he’s now known to slouch but you cannot get more vertical than a Victorian pencil when it’s upright.

A vote for Labour at this time may well bring us 1970’s style nostalgia in the form of power cuts, mass strikes, and 3 day weeks. Fuck that!
Even though that happened under Heath's Tory government, which left the country in such a mess through its incomes policy, Labour had no choice but to go to the IMF when it won the election. Of course the OPEC crisis didn't help but people forget that too. Thatchers vendetta against the miners for bringing the Heath govt down led to those myths.
It is amazing how myths carry on for decades.

The Lib Dem’s aren’t left of centre, Ed Miliband is.
The Lib Dems are to the right of the Tories economically, their Orange Bookists are free market lovers and neo-liberal fanboys. It is only Socially that the Lib Dems are anywhere near the left in thinking and then only close to new Labour left, Traditional Labour has always had the small C conservative traits of patriotism, family and community.
The Lib Dems were so comfortable in the coalition because they were to the right of Cameron economically and to the left socially. They are anything but a centrist party and if any of the cunts knock on my door they will get told they are neo-liberal enablers of right wing governments and then I will turn the hosepipe on the weird fuckers.

The winter of discontent?
A direct result of Heaths incomes policy, even though it happened after his tenure.

The winter of discontent was the direct result of a stupid Labour Party delay in calling a GE allowing the unions to inflict Margaret Thatcher on the country. Could it happen again? The unlikely duo Keir Starmer & Mac the Knife getting cold feet once more could lead the watching electorate to finish this Jezzer cabal for good and install a right wing equivalent. What a bunch of cretins we've got leading our political parties - to present the country with this choice of evils is unprecedented.A direct result of Heaths incomes policy, even though it happened after his tenure.

On his performance so far with Cummings as chief adviser the BP in the wings with Lib Dems about to hoover up Remain votes the idea that Johnson could win never mind with a majority is laughable. They won 318 seats at the 2017 GE - they now have 289. They are going backwards - lots self inflicted losses. When it was affecting Labour the Tory mantra was always " people don't vote for divided party's " - presumably that no longer applies?

A plague on both their houses and hoping it spreads to the Lib Dems & all the Nationalists as well. None of them is fit to govern.On his performance so far with Cummings as chief adviser the BP in the wings with Lib Dems about to hoover up Remain votes the idea that Johnson could win never mind with a majority is laughable.
