    That's your opinion, approval ratings for his performance this campaign are through the roof.

    The only thing I can fault him with this election is he hasn't stood up for himself enough throughout the personal attacks, but then it's ensured Labour has ran clean ethical campaign which is dignified as **** imo.

    The interview you're referring to was actually over the radio, the presenter expected him to sit in silence while he referred to his manifesto and checked his numbers. That would have been a disaster. Dead air on the radio is professional suicide and it would have blown up in his face if he was prepared to plunge that interview into silence. He did the right thing all day long. He was prepared to get back to her and check the numbers while they talked, she wouldn't so he refused, fair play.

    The wife and I have just sat and watched the 6 O'Clock news and we both said this election could turn out to be another Trump, with the outsider coming home from absolutely nowhere.
    There seems to be a lot of the younger generation lapping up to the Labour rhetoric, the test will be will the young voters bother their arses on Thursday and get out and vote.
    I think the result will be a lot closer than first indicated, which could be very worrying.

    I don't know why everyone's frightened of a hard brexit TBH. We'd just end up with the same deal as the USA, China, India, Russia etc. But Canada's got a trade deal with the EU, so if push comes to shove we can just crib that one.

    Russia, China and the USA have vast markets at home to fall back on. We don't and will struggle economically outside of the EU. there were many reasons why I could see why people voted to leave, but economic security was certainly not one of them.

    I'd be terrified of Corbyn negotiating. The EU would be over the moon. He'd pay any bill they want.

    I'm with Mrs May all day long. If they ask for the world and try taking the piss. Walk away. They've been a thorne in our side for years. **** em.

    Jeremy Corbyn attended the funerals of IRA soldiers killed by the SAS and has shared a platform with them approximately 70 times.

    In the name of peace?

    On holiday last year I chatted with British people in their forties and fifties about the Brexit vote and they had voted out based on the immigration issue highlighted by UKIP saying Europe would insist on us taking more than we intended. Voted out to protect UK jobs etc. Issues like economy and trade would eventually take care of there selves but they were sure that we could soon find other markets to export to.

    Or negotiation? Even Neville Chamberlain spoke with Hitler in 1939.

    Loads of people in the City are waking up to the possibilities of Brexit without endless EU restrictions. Won't be easy, but leaving your comfort zone never is. Just as well, or no-one would leave a job to start a business and the vast majority of people in the UK work for SMEs.

    You youngsters:azn:. Don't tell anybody, but Hitler turned out to be a liar and attacked Poland in 1939. We joined WW2 as Allies of Poland. We could have done nothing but we kept our word to an Ally.

    Did he attend the funerals of the Nazis that we killed?

    Half of Northern Ireland are ****ting themselves at the thought of Corbyn winning.
