General Election June 8th

I was watching a video on the NorthWest Passage recently which highlighted how the effects of climate change, amongst other things, has started to allow very early commercial traffic to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific which is cutting thousands of miles off Chinese import journeys. The figure I saw was $80,000 less fuel and 25% more cargo between Shanghai and New York.

Anyway, in the same video they started looking at the possibility of a complete melting of Arctic ice and how it might create whole new trading routes. They theorise that Scotland would undergo an economic boom as sailing cargo from China or Russia over the pole would save tens of thousands of miles rather than across the Indian Ocean and through the Suez. Norway is a closer country but doesn't have the cargo moving infrastructure that the UK has.

They could potentially be a major trading port in 50 years.

if they aren't under water or uninhabitable from the climate shifts that would ensue.

I'll clear it up if you like he is a terrorist sympathiser and in a choice between his love of a freedom fighter and making sure we respect their human rights versus protecting innocent Brits we will be firmly second.

Hope that helps you on Thursday

So to clear up - The right wing annihilation of him is a massive load of bollocks. Cheers.

On Thursday only RED>Blue

Maybe when that happens, Greenland will finally live up to its fucking name.

What does surprise me with the inept Abbott being rolled out at every opportunity is his sidekick The repulsive McDonnell keeping such a low profile, I was always under the impression that he was the labour version of Karl Rove to Corbyn although I liken him more to Dick Cheney, is he perceived by those running the campaign to be more of a risk than Abbott?.

Happily :-)

You see that Scots? Don't give the English what they want, been getting that the whole time.

He's stronger out there on the road doing speeches - he comes across principled and caring, people are beginning to see, possibly too late and all the IRA, Hamas crap thrown at him just seems a bit desperate, even the 'magic money tree' and other tags thrown at him was silenced when he released a fully costed manifesto.

Blair and Clegg agree, very good but they come across as political actors - Corbyn doesn't, he is who he is.

Considering the fall out from half his cabinet wanting him to go, the Tories celebrating his appointment because 'he will give the Tories another 10 years!' .. 'no one wants socialism' etc it is a remarkable turnaround, yes May has helped bring utterly out of her depth in recent weeks but Corbyn deserves a lot of credit and hard for some to swallow but respect.

I honestly think it's more to do with arguably the worst run campaign in my lifetime by the Tories than Corbyn, all three parties are beyond inept and whoever is elected is going to take this country down the pan.

I'm not a Diane Abbott fan and can't see her getting a great office of state (in the unlikely event of an absolute Labour majority). But (I can't access the clip) is the latest thing that in an interview she mentioned a report on how to improve anti-terrorism measures in London but couldn't recall the detailed proposals of the report, a report that the government itself has not even acknowledged?
