General Election - December 12th, 2019

[Fame Monster]

So pointing out that a newly elected government is threatening independent news websites within 24 hours is not worthy of comment?

You can take that angle, I've no problem with that but the first thing that struck me was Mendoza going after Jewish journalists again.

David Doel's opinion...

Always said I thought Farage played this Election brilliantly... Well done that Man :)

If he does it right, if he’s a moral PM and honours the votes he’s got from these hundreds of thousands of people who Tories usually leave behind in society, he could finish Labour off and keep the Tories in for a generation.
The proof will indeed be in the pudding.
I too hope he does it right. This country needs investment in public services, the NHS railways and housing need sorting the fuck out, we need good deals around the world and with the EU, we need to end ridiculous things like Dementia Tax and Bedroom Tax or whatever ridiculous things the Tories usually think up, wages need to be fair for the poorest, tax breaks for the richest should not exist, we need to get a grip on immigration... I could go on forever...
We did need a majority govt. Hung parliaments just hold everything back and make a mockery the country’s politics. The govt will now be able to get things done.
But I do fear for the poorest on this island and do worry what the Tories will do because of their history as a party and because of their core support and backers being the most well-off section of society.
Let’s hope we are in the Politics Sub-forum in 2022 saying how they’ve honoured those lower class voters by sorting things out for everyone in this country and by investing in what was needed, and well.

But your last paragraph isn't going to happen is it mate. It will be just like the austerity con which at the time was 'we're all in it together' and 'working people vs the curtain twitchers'. This time the con will be something along the lines of ' be grateful you've got a (shit) job' and that the immigrants have gone from your community.
I admire your hope but have you learn't nothing about the modus operandi of the Tories in the last ten years? They screw up but are always very successful (with the help of their friends in the media) in persuading you otherwise.
PS One party majority governments based on FPTP are not a good thing. It makes a majority of voters feel disenfranchised and leads to winner takes all conflict (as opposed to cooperation) within our society.

"Independent news websites". PMSL

Kerry-Anne Mendoza is a disgusting piece of racist filth, the cheerleader for left-wing antisemitism and The Canary is the Stormfromt of the left. I hope she ends up sharing a cell with her right-wing soulmate Hopkins. With any luck they'll bludgeon each other to death within an hour of the cell door being locked on them.

It was this rag that claimed that Jews complaining about antisemitism would simply lead to more: https://www.thecanary.co/opinion/20...gers-are-gaslighting-the-corbyn-led-movement/

They were so open in their antisemitism that they lost a load of advertising revenue. The Canary naturally blamed 'political Zionists' for their situation after many advertisers withdrew, including Sheffield Hallam University, hardly a Zionist front organisation. They've been in the forefront of the campaign to discredit and deny the existence of antisemitism in the Labour Party. Little surprise therefore that you're defending them.

Corbyn is a fucking disgrace; hanging on, Blatter-style.

Way to retain your dignity, Jezza.

Wanker.

Channel 4 I absolutely agree, again bbc I don’t. Way too many links between some of their key individuals and the conservatives for it to be left leaning. It’s centrist but right leaning centrist and has been for a while.

Marr? Kussenberg? Robinson? Mason? Edwards? Maitlis? We'll have to agree to disagree but find it astounding you think it's right leaning in the slightest.

she's always been on the outer edge but now she is old and a national treasure she doesn't give a fuck and says it like it is. That documentary series where she went to the States was excellent - when she was in a womans prison they thought from her accent she was royalty or something then she started talking about being a lesbian and dropping f and c bombs......they loved her !
