Off Topic The General Election

Burnham shared a stage with MEND - an organisation that has members that deny regularly that Al-Quada even exist. To me, he is the stereotypical gutless politcian, who only spills out the usual nauseating platitudes and neo-liberal diatribe I utterly despise.

I won't derail the thread any further mate as this is about the election but its just a personal loathing I thought I'd throw out there.

 

Ballsed up my reply to Lord jonjomort (great username by the way) post.

There must be a direct correlation between bombing a country and the people of those countries being easily radicalised against us

 

I've done exactly this too........
Cannot wait to get back to voting labour though.

 

Lazy twat, you should be voting in person at the polling station....

 

Fixed

 

Hoping May is the second Tory PM in 2 years to have made a catastrophic miscalculation with hilarious results.

 

What a **** bunch of options. Thatcher the 2nd or an Islam lover.

 

Like Hatem Ben Arfa, you mean?

 

I think it is rather more complex than that.

 

Having just watched Diane Abbott squirm on Andrew Marr, it's frightening too think she could end up being Home Secretary.

 

Of course it is.
I'm not suggesting if we stop then they will stop but I don't think bombing them is helping our cause

 

The effect retaliation has is, arguably, that it makes it easier for them to recruit. In theory the response in both Britain and France of peaceful vigil, fund raising, solidarity makes it harder for ISIS to claim we are all infidels intent on crushing Islam.

I think we keep going. Perhaps increase covert missions to stop the leaders, certainly seek political assistance in stopping the supply of arms and definitely keep doing things like Bee tattoos. In relation to the topic, IRA-lovin' Corbin needs to go back to 1980 and stay there.

 

The trouble is we're up to our necks in it. We've been bombing in and around the middle east since the Iraq War in 2003 and followed the US policy of regime change in many of these states through the 'Arab Spring' which has been an unmitigated disaster. Is the situation with ISIS so far gone that we now have to keep up military action to combat the monster that we helped to create?

 

Bit of a hatchet job on Theresa May today. Corbyn decides to turn up to the debate last minute and all the other leaders crucify her for not bothering to turn up. Will probably be forgotten about in 9 days time though.

 

That was an absolute ****ing disgrace. BBC spouting bollocks about a representative audience when it was clearly almost entirely left-wing, probably drawn from the streets of Cambridge (either that or Momentum were put in charge of proceedings). And don't think people didn't notice it BBC, you made this one far too obvious. Most of these pathetic 'leaders', and the deluded audience, have no idea out of touch they are with the wider electorate on certain issues (I don't think I need point them out). I expect they will find out the hard way next week.

Nuttall could have revealed he's discovered a cure for cancer and he wouldn't have got a round of applause.

 

I saw only Amber Rudd bother to shake Nuttall's hand at the end of the show.

What a bunch of looneys they all are, furiously slagging everyone else off while pushing their own agenda. Typical politicians

That Green co-leader is a tidy bit tackle.

 

I'd sooner stick my dick in a bees nest to be honest with you.

Infact I'd rather do the bloke.
