    I personally think that there should be a memorial in every town to Margaret - I have always said that there just aren't enough urinals in this country <laugh>

    Wouldn't trust Labour as far as I could throw them on finances or security (the 2 main things that concern me).

    Coal Industry trashed.
    How many miners, or their wives, do you know who wanted their sons to go down the pits?


    Shipyards.
    Priced out of World Markets by cheaper competition. Unable to compete due, in part at least, because of restrictive practices.

    And has anyone noticed that we are edging back to the 70's with some very aggressive Unions.
    Those who lived through those days will recall that the Hard Union Left was just about in charge.
    'We The People', reacted in the only way we could.
    It was The Left that put Maggie into power. The people wanted The Unions back to doing what they were formed to do, represent their members in The Workplace.
    We all got more than we bargained for with Maggie but she DID bring the unions to heel.

    Those of us who want the 'Middle Ground' politically speaking need to look at the Party Leaders to decide who is most likely to deliver something close.
    (As an ex Serviceman I'd find it hard to vote for any party who were led by someone who wanted to award decorations to members of The IRA).

    'Do the right thing tomorrow,don't fall for Tory led media bullsh*t !
    Do you really think that most of us are incapable of making up our own minds?
    I wouldn't dream of assuming that the majority of us are that stupid.

    JC arguably delivered the greatest ever miracle when he fed the 5,000, sadly his namesake couldn't wipe his own arse.

    Trouble is I remember Blair -illegal war and the resulting present day world wide "islamic terrorism" it led to - no way - Maybe shes' got weaknesses but not as many as the alternatives - plus we need stability going to the Brexit negotiations -
    Plus to be honest what have labour done for the poor NE - not a lot and less in rock solid labour Sunderland.
    Sorry but no way labour for me.

    I became a union rep and at a introductory training course we were all referred to as activists - when I said I was there to help my colleagues in the workplace I was almost laughed at.
    The unions are paid from a different pot to the workers who take industrial action as unions advise , go on strike and on no pay - a big union led con as you rarely gain by striking which I know from experience.
    JC wanting to negotiate with terrorists - only works if they can be trusted -
    JC negotiating with EU would only help remainers not the democratically decided Brexit decision.
    I'll stop here but think an off topic label is needed on this thread :emoticon-0148-yes:
    :emoticon-0112-wonde Anyone seen a Monk about <doh>

    Summed up well in above comments. May has her faults but nowhere near as many as JC.
    Corbyn, Mcdonnel and Abott...who would want that lot anywhere near number 10? And anyone STILL going on about Thatcher nearly 30 years after leaving office needs to get a grip and move on. She's now dead ffs!

    Dianne Abbott bothered her arse to turn up and that went well !!!!!!

    I wasn't aware that turning up for a TV debate was a pre requisite for becoming the right person to vote for.
    Equally my views on Corbyn wouldn't determine my political allegiance, if indeed I had one.

    Well said. I can't stand it when people think they have the right to tell others what to do

    Obviously I can only speak for myself but when I voted to leave I expected that there would be a high price to pay.

    But I wanted my country back.
    No objection at all to the trading pact I had initially voted for but I never voted for a political union with Countries I don't trust, or to have our Laws decided by these countries.

    So I was expecting a 'hard brexit'.

    It will, in my opinion, be a price worth paying.

    But in any case the terms are entirely out of our hand. The Countries that remain i9n the EU will decide them.
    Not our PM.
    Not our Electorate.
    And most certainly not our Newspapers.

    Trying to blame any or all of these for something that hasn't even been decided yet would be just a touch premature, don't you think?
