Off Topic The Politics Thread

TV debates are s22t. ITV always cocks it up. The BBC will yoghurt knit along with the Liberals and Sky will get Faisal to throw in a few remoaner questions. Waste of time

 

Farron - Wee Sturgeon - Corbyn - Nuttall - Bartley

Let these giants of the political world fight it out between them

 

I think the TV debates are important for those of us not as politically switched on as the members of this board. There were 15 million eligible people who didn't vote in the last election, it's chance to win those folk over, having said that if they didn't vote they probably wouldn't watch anyway. If Theresa does stay away from telly debates surely that can't do her any favours as it suggests either she is fearful her current good standing in public opinion will be damaged (when people realise she is a horror) or she has something to hide.

 

Do not trust May & didn't want her as PM, she is a slippery left wing remainer.
UKIP's job is not done just yet.

 

Slippery left wing remainer currently engaged in trying to give us 5 years of hardline Tory rule and the hardest Brexit imaginable. Not particularly left leaning if you ask me.

And I was thinking the Yanks were unfortunate with Trump and Clinton. I think the name Nuttall sums it up perfectly...

 

according to the bbc

Dealing day-to-day with a small majority has given Conservative backbenchers significant power to force the government to back down on a variety of issues

 

It does her a big favour as taking part in an unscripted debate shows her up for the socially awkward robot she is.

 

just remembered I have done the Nou Camp before, AC Milan v Steaua Bucharest 1989 European Cup final. Rather good. Locals not happy tonight, and my hotel is surrounded as Juventus team are staying here. Just completed the wine and tapas tour, anybody visiting Barcelona PM me this is not to be missed. Bars you would never find on the tourist trail. The gothic quarter of Barca is brilliant. Follow the locals and stay off the Rambla and you can't go far wrong.

Unlike Scotland Catalonia has never been an independent country and the Catalonians I talked to tonight were very honest - they would not vote for independence if offered, despite gripes against the Spanish state.

 

West Windsor? Don't you mean Bracknell New Town?

 

We're working on the name. Bracknell-upon-Thames still in the mix.

 

Are you there yet?

 

Slowly getting there. We've exchanged but not completed.

 

Cripes. No going back then. You're snookered.

 

Politics at its most predictable and utterly boring. Master stroke by May but it will be fascinating to see how many U-turns there will be as everyone morphs to the position they think the electorate will support. The only fixed points of principle so far as I can see are that Lib Dems will stand for EU /reversal of Brexit, SNP will stand for Scottish independence, Labour will stand for a red-blooded socialist agenda which is completely unelectable, UKIP will try to con everyone that only Nuttall can deliver Brexit and May will run on the platform that only she can be trusted to deliver strong government and will try to wear the clothes of every cause going if it will get her votes. I sympathise with those that have lost the will to live as the only true fact is that they will all lie.

 

It allegedly increased the house prices up a good few percent when we became 'upon-thames'

 

I sell drugs (meds) too SB. Small world

 

Do the Poble too! Fantastic!
