General Election June 8th

[Ancient Citizen]

You reckon we'd have the Northern Ireland Assembly without all that mayhem and murder?

Jesus wept.

Campaigning rightfully suspended today. We should do the same as a mark of respect.

My fear is after this and Jo Cox's murder in 2015 a GE is seen by dark forces as a grandstand for their murderous activities.

I know this might upset people but........
I refuse to condemn Isis. I don't agree with what they do but I can understand why they do it. If someone dropped a bomb on your house or murdered and ridiculed your leader or raped your great grandmother would you not want someone held accountable?

While 2 wrongs don't make a right, it's very difficult to point the finger. The only difference between the IRA and ISIS is that one was over 200 years ago and the English have had plenty of time to apologise for what they did as a government.

People should look a lot closer to home and how we have treated people over time and history. No wonder everyone fucking hates us!

How do you feel about this post this morning?

How do you feel about this post this morning?

Knew someone wouldn't be able to resist this morning. I think it's already explained in that passage. "2 wrongs don't make a right"

Hope that's made your day

Electioneering has been suspended out of respect and possibly, we too should give this thread a swerve for the day as well?

Agree with the mods. Squabbling about politics would be unseemly on a day like today.

 

[Magicpole]

Think this thread should take a leaf out of the parties books and suspend itself for the day.

Not a day for division but us all banding together as mancs.

Well said.

As a Glaswegian I just wanted to say we are all Mancs today. Hearts heavy across the whole country today.

Murdocrasy will be going into overdrive.

We're still going to get annihilated by about 100 seats once the country realigns itself, but it's nice to see some energy from the Labour side for a change.
