General Election June 8th

We call them the cult nowadays fella, like the mormons without the dress sense

Surprised we haven't had scruffy twats accosting us on the bus with their book of momentum

you may do so but you are in your own small cult in doing so. You need to broaden your horizons - things do not have to be done the way they are.

I'm in the unlucky/lucky position that I cannot lose or win come Thursday.

 

[Machiavelli]

I'm not.

i meant the British government, under both Labour and Conservative.

 

[ballinio]

Labour members endorsed Jeremy Corbyn as leader massively - twice !!!!!

My mistake, was the mp's .
Still a terrorist sympathising, Marxist bullshitter though.

wow you are worried.

Not at all, back under his rock soon enough.

Labour members - or do you know all 313k who voted for him? That comment is as ill conceived as me calling all Tories the Blue Rinse Brigade or Eton Toffs.

Nice to see the Tory support panicking though. Not the cake walk you all thought eh?

I suppose I should have said lefty middle class and their families (hence the student part)
I'm not panicking in the slightest and I'm as far from a Tory supporter as you could get, traditional labour supporter from a council estate but even me with my comprehensive school education can see that the country under this labour leadership would go down the pan very quickly

funny how when losing the arguments the Right just fall back on personal insults. Can't blame you mate - May has run a whole crappy campaign on it.

 

[jay_mcfc]

ok to make it simple for you

the bombing offensive ( the IRA campaign against the British Army and establishment ) and the Army offensive to oppose it ( our governments attempt to subjugate the IRA and stop the bombings ) were not a success for either side ( neither the republican movement nor HM Govt prevailed despite a long conflict ). Your comment about 15 years and thousands of lives too late I agree with but weren't you inferring that was foolish and you seemed to think both sides should have just carried on slugging it out like an ageing Rocky vs Apollo Creed which prompted my comment that if that was the case we would still be at it toe to toe even now. The best way to end conflicts is not to have them but once there is a shooting war the best way to resolve it is by talking

Ha I have no idea how you came to that conclusion? I am fully with you, talks should have happened a lot sooner.

I see labour are going to scrap the married persons tax allowance.

in the manifesto? Surprised thats only just been noticed if it is.

 

[johnmc]

General consensus would be Abbott will go in the next reshuffle. Do you guys think that as well? Will cement my vote if it was confirmed.

Items 31-33 for the non believers.
For the Hive not the Drones.
Or just the top 5% whatever.

She won't be completely discarded by balaclava man I wouldn't have thought, too much history

Without a doubt. Besides, the only way Corbyn can be PM is via a coalition so they could use that as an excuse to dump her.

Think labour scrapped it last time, good tax should be on individuals , couples living together should pay the same tax as a married couple. Tax isnt for social engineering

just looked it up on - predictably - the Mail and Telegraph - it amounts to £4,42 per week less in tax relief if you take the £230pa net figure. The Mail makes more of the lowering of inheritance tax thresholds - coz obviously that hits the wealthy.

It has to be said its odd its taken so long for serious journalists to find this - maybe doing proper research rather than just mudslinging could catch on in the press and secondly it is in the Funding Document.............. May won't tell us who she is going to fuck over yet.

My concern would be that they have a long history and I'm not sure I would trust Corbyn to stab his mate in the back so to speak despite it being done to him several times.

Corbyn wants to give the elderly dignity, working people a wage they can live on and the young a free education to realise their potential. May wants to run through fields of wheat butchering foxes.

What he wants to give is fine and in a perfect world that'd be great, his problem which most of the left leaning side are ignoring is that he can't fucking fund it and is going to borrow borrow borrow to pay for it all.
It's always been the same with the Labour Party and will never ever change. Hopefully enough will see sense and accept we actually can't have our cake and eat it.


Apart from Yaya obviously.
