    You put your trust in this government instead mate cos they are doing a superb job. Who in their right mind would vote for someone who cuts our police and security and at the the same time helps fund the terrorists we are against. It's a crazy society we live in

    Now don't get me wrong East Herts Rangers, I'm not saying Corbyn will be any better but purely on principal I couldn't vote Tory. I wouldn't vote for anyone who sells arms to the saudis whom are one of the most extreme countries in the world.

    The thing is the choice is between Corbyn and May, now that isn't much of a choice at all, but all things considered I would have to go with May
    In terms of funding the terrorists I am more concerned they are using benefits to pay for their activities I don't think the British government manufactures or sells arms.

    Perhaps we were doing it during 12 years of a Labour government too?

    Perhaps we were but it's the here and now that I'm bothered about. Let's just hope we don't have to rush and use the NHS suffering from bullet wounds our government supplied for profit.

    Really?? That does surprise me. Don't honestly think benefits is their means of funding. These guys all worked apparantly

    The thing is, Bob, that the whole lot of them are useless irrespective of livery. Here and now, or there and then, they're all bollocks and undeserving of our vote.

    Well, Big Mother just lost herself another vote. Her cringemaking performance in tonight's Tory broadcast, mouthing platitudes in a garden reading from an autocue sent Mrs Stan into an apoplectic fit. She had seen May as the least worst choice, but now can no longer bring herself to vote for her and is as stranded as I am in wanting them all to lose.

    People in safe seats not voting for the incumbent should spoil their ballot. I've given it some thought and that's what I'm going to do.

    My constituency needs a 20% swing from labour to the Bengali National party* to unseat the sitting MP. It's not going to happen.

    *(Or whatever George Galloway's Respect party is called this time)

    I'm coming round to this thinking. Very low chance of unseating the Tory incumbent where I live, I haven't got any time for the alternatives anyway. It doesn't feel right just not turning up, and thinking of something witty and not too shocking to the vote counter to write on the ballot paper will keep me occupied for a bit. I'd like them to have a laugh. Suggestions welcome.

    In your case though I'd vote Labour, just to make sure that **** Galloway and his mates don't have a sniff of a seat.

    For ****'s sake. The BBC's anti-Corbyn agenda goes into overdrive. The introduction to Newsnight has a clip of May telling us how tough she's going to be against terrorists after her coronation, followed (in the interests of equal airtime) by a clip of Corbyn from about 35 years ago complaining about lack of control over the police.

    Diane Abbott now in dire trouble. Lily Allen has come out in defence of her, alleging racism and sexism. Kiss of death. Poor old Di.
