General Election - December 12th, 2019

[Onholiday(somemightsay)]

Just woke up.

What possible reason does Corbyn have not to resign immediately?

That would mean he would have to have made a swift and decisive decision (whilst also declaring his intentions)............

Deckchair count on the Titanic - supremely irrelevant. There are zero consolations only harsh learning points which will continue to be unheeded by the hard left who are still firmly in control of the party selection apparatus.

Comparing Foot with Corbyn? Yes, Both lost badly, the numbers are meaningless.

Let those who ignored democracy pick this one over and tell everyone they are fools. That way you never learn.

Having these pretentious celebrities line up one after another to slate brexit really helped the conservatives.

People couldn’t care less what they think

What's made me laugh is those two sneering lefty, vapid wankers Hugh Grant and Steve Coogan getting their
arses handed to them another pair of self righteous tossers who have no clue about the working class. Throw in
the likes of Lily Allen and Emma Thompson, and all the other 'Celebs' supposedly helping the cause and Boris just chalks off
yet another Labour seat. These idiots, like De Niro and his ilk in the States, live in worlds surrounded by fawning sycophants who
tell them daily how wonderful and brilliant they are, well chaps, reality hurts doesn't it?

how can you expect people to respect something they think will do economic damage to the country - it's not us and never has been remainer voters that blocked Brexit.
It's the tories that bought the vote that the majority didn't want, the ERG blocking any deal bought forward and now Boris that will have to see through the car crash that will be Brexit.
Yet still, it's us remainers that have no influence to blame for it all.

Regardless of your politics the Country voted for Brexit and it’s the right decision we leave.

mostly the poor will be hit as we turn into little America. I hope I am wrong for my kids sake.

Your kids should be relieved - you are utterly wrong, witness the verdict of the country on those who would turn us into little Venezuela.

Just the kind of ignorant comment that seems to pass as political discussion these days. To enlighten you, Scotland would be about the 19th largest EU country. Its population (5.4 million) is larger than Ireland, Croatia, Slovenia, Latvia.......Its easy to check facts before you write nonsense you know mate.

Unfortunately, those countries don't have the highest per head debt in Europe, so I doubt the Germans will be too keen on
yet another on the teat.

Oi, don’t diss De Niro, you are going too far :-)

 

[Metal Biker]

It's hyperbolic to say Boris ran on a nationalist, far right platform?

Yes, it is.

Not meaningless, instructive. Let's hope the Labour recovery period isn't 40 years as it was after Foot. The current leadership genuinely think they lost because they weren't Venezuela enough - the all important question is how does the party get back control of the NEC and CLPs from the big unions?
