General Election - December 12th, 2019

Really don’t understand why people are anti Semitic. If you know anything about history it is a shameful view to have and borne of ignorance and misguided predudice.

You are joking, right?

365, anything over 326 is a majority. Of 39.

Total up the number of opposition. What do you come to.

285. Those are the number of MP's opposing the Governments 365.

365-285 = 80 (and since Sinn Fein don't take their seats, it's actually 87)

Except if you are 40 over 325 the sum total of all the other parties is 40 under.

Face-palm. my bad.

Face-palm. my bad.

Forgot the speaker as well, who is neutral in the vote, who is Labour, so it's realistically 88.

The vote on this forum has labour 14 percentage points ahead of tories the general election has been rigged. Oh Jeremy Corbyn!

He's an antisemite. Many members of the party are antisemites. Most of his leadership team are either antisemites or determined to protect those members who are. But of course it's all unfounded smears isn't it.

The EHRC wouldn't be mounting a full investigation into the party being institutionally antisemitic unless it had good grounds to do so, just like the CPS wouldn't look at bringing a prosecution unless there was some tangible evidence.

Read this if you've got the balls or self-awareness. It's a long piece with a lot of hyperlinks but it's absolutely spot on and a coherent answer to all the idiots claiming it's just smears.

I will read it. Why is your tone so disrespectful? Criticising the Israeli government's disgraceful actions does not make someone antisemitic and, frankly, I prefer to listen to Noam Chomsky's view.

David Doel's opinion...

The election was indeed about Brexit, it was about Labour's betrayal of Brexit. Instead of accepting the referendum result and delivering a soft Brexit from which we could rejoin in the future they decided to throw their efforts into delivering a 2nd referendum where the options were Remain or Remain without an EU council vote.
Woah, where did that come from?
The answer is the Remainer failure to accept that they lost. They called Leavers: Thick, Brexitards, Gammon etc all amplified in their social media echo chambers. Labour Leaver MPs were ganged up on, abused and forced out. Not a single front bench spokesman was there to support Labour Leavers. Seemingly though, in the cold light of defeat, it was the Remainers that were as thick as mince as they failed to notice, or care to notice, the Labour Leave vote disasitfaction. So the Labour leave vote said "Fuck you", and went off to support parties that said they would deliver Brexit. The election was lost and Remaintards only now care? Total Knob Jockies the lot of them.
As to Corbyn, he's a total **** and totally unfit to lead a British political party. His antisemitism is undeniable (see Prestwich Blues Link) and he never stands up for his own country - ever. He supports the IRA and many a terrorist organisation and believes Putin rather than the evidence collected against Putin for the murder of Russian dissidents by Polonium, Nerve agent, bullet, gravity or car crash.
Now if you want a leader who most of the British can support then get one who bats for the UK. Dan Jarvis, for example, former Parachute regiment Major would be an excellent choice. Don't blame the media for your own parties total inability to select an electable leader.
Then you have the cult of Momentum busily using the tactics of Militant to deselect everyone who isn't a pure Marxist. Do you think the population of the UK is thick and can't see what is going on?
Yes blame the media.
I recommend pulling your heads out of your arses and see how others view you rather than continuing to indulge in echo chamber politics. Until you do Labour are fucked.

Incidently, Boris is the most left wing Tory leader since the 1950s. He has taken a leaf out of Tony Blair's play book and has parked the Tory tanks on the Labour policy lawn.
It will be a long time till Labour are back in power.
