I wouldn't look at any poll now as an indication of anything at all, getting it wrong is what they do as par for the course. My personal opinion is that ukip are dead in the water mainly due to leadership problems and the simple concept that the job is done. Labour will shoot themselves in the foot again before polling day and we will be left with Tory rule for the foreseeable future.
We need strong opposition and we haven't got that at present.

We need a government that can provide the minimum of at least three basics things for its people. Education, Health and Safety, they have monumentally fucked all three up. They make Bravo look strong and stable. Time for them to move on and have a think about their role in society and away from politics.

Ha. We do need to begin looking to space to be fair. We need to plan well ahead for colonising somewhere in space (if possible) before over-population or nuclear war ruins civilisation as we know it. It's not at all a fanciful delusion, it's something logical and sensible and Stephen Hawking has been banging it's drum for a while

I don't know how/why we'd mine water in space though.

I think we should be working together as "Earth" to do it, rather than USA vs. Russia vs. China etc. but he raises a good point that it could become a race like empire colonisation to grab as many resources as possible for the home state. Which would mean we're fcked.
 
I notice the Tories have dropped off a lot on this poll since last I checked btw. Don't know if that happened before Monday or not.
 
In reference to Corbyn's speech, May seems to have denied a link between foreign policy and terrorism saying there is no excuse for terrorism. That has a negative impact on my confidence in her approach to dealing with this. To not accept a link is unreasonable.

How many anti terrorism laws has Corbyn voted against in the last two years? Would you have confidence in dianne Abbott as a Home Secretary?

He's misinformed but right.

Imagine I told you that 60 miles off the coast, there is an island that holds somewhere in the region of £6500m in natural resources. This island is completely uninhabited. We want to fund a project to go and tow those resources into our harbour to help us become a resource rich country, boosting our manufacturing economy and the trading ability of British firms.

Well this is factually correct, only the direction is different.

And it's not the only island either, there's hundreds and perhaps thousands of them with billions of pounds of natural resources within them. The price to get to them is somewhere in the region of £10bn a year for the next 10 years.

Voting against anti-terrorism law doens't mean you're soft on terrorism any more than voting against the EC Human Rights makes you soft on human rights.

Can you elaborate?

Let's just pick just one of the laws he has voted against. Giving police greater power to monitor phone calls and internet records of suspected terrorists. Can you explain to someone as thick as me how that helps in the battle against terrorists? I honestly can't work out how it can?

Let's say that we have a law that's primary objective is to jail all paedophiles.

The way the legislation says we should go about this, is to knock on every single door in the country, ask if somebody is a paedophile and if they say yes, nick them. The estimated cost for the Police to undertake this task is £30bn a year.

Are you suggesting you wouldn't vote against that? I mean, you wouldn't vote against jailing paedophiles would you?

Did Diane Abbott do your costing for you?
Last Census cost about £500 million. A couple of weeks of EU subs ;-)

Corbyn is against us engaging IS abroad. He's a fucking danger and needs to be stopped.
