General Election June 8th

The truth is out, thank god for the free press.

Jesus they are shitting themselves so badly --- May is toast and they know it - this is as bad as the slagging off Millibands dad - see Maggies comments above - typical right wing - can't win the argument so just call people names.

the press, as usual, have been completely unacceptable.

Fucking laughable, but she's played a blinder here. Cue all the thick bastards voting for her because changing the human rights laws is the same as properly funding the police and security forces that she's spent 6 years cutting.

Lib Dems +1pence income tax sounds a decent idea if it raises a lot.

Why don't Labour take that on board as a fail safe for the corp tax increase? And maybe legalise medicinal cannabis (encourage vaporise, discourage smoking it).

Because no-one in history has ever won a general election by promising tax rises on ordinary people.*

* Possibly not true, but I heard this somewhere.

A hung parliament is the worst outcome for the country

Why?

Corbyn relays a question from the public around policing cuts.
Note the derision from the other side at being put to question by the people they're meant to be protecting.

Mental health at school level seems to be a big topic on the agenda in this election. Throughout my education I never saw anyone with mental health issues that they couldn't overcome by learning from what they saw as problems - has it become a big issue within today's schools? Why? Has Instagram insecurities and the like caused serious mental health issues or do they just not have the life experience to overcome such meagre things?

I would have thought the pressures of modern society for adults was the more pressing concern regarding mental health, particularly the state the country is in. Our society/state of the country seems to be creating major strains on mental health - it seems as if the majority of the population have had to/are dealing with it in some form. Perhaps with the availability of information on the internet and the like, it's knowing whats out there but not being able to achieve what they want rather than in the past where people's interpretations of the world were smaller in many ways and so were happier to do/work mundane things.

You do know that Labour get a lot of their votes from the very large urban cities? Corbyn is going to his industrial heartlands where it's very much easier to get large crowds in city centres where historically a large part of their support resides.

All strikes me as a little triumphalist, full of rabble rousers smelling the opportunity of a bit of easy money at the expense of the engines of the economy - entrepreneurs and business.

He's in the north west tomorrow, not in a big city centre but in a constituency with a small Tory majority.

Engines of the economy? What about the workers? All these entrepreneurs slaving away on their own at minimum wage.
