    Someone on another board I take part in , has said the following


    I remember the Cuba crisis where the world came within a whisker of a nuclear war, and it was frightening!! The spectre of Corbyn and his cohorts winning this election is far more frightening than the Cuba crisis. And if I upset some Board members, so be it but I am entitled to my views.



    <doh>


    If he is to be believed , he is an ex pat .

    How desperate are they?
    Good to see queues of students at polling stations, on the ITV news.
    Just seen on the Echo how many people aren't registered to vote in Hampshire, probably as a direct result of the registration changes, that were introduced to create this very thing.

    So former FBI chief, James Comey, has said that Trump lied about him and the administration he headed up. This is going to rival Watergate: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-40205461

    Today, Trump was telling his supporters that the politicians at Washington DC are trying to hinder their good work. I bet they are. And note the subtle shift and share of blame.

    Stand fast. Stiff upper lip, old chap. Steady the buffs.

    Actually, I got a few more bottles of the necessary in. 1] to celebrate with, or 2] to drown my sorrows with. :)

    Click what you like, but leave me my delusions of joy for another hour at least.

    But, yes, the dark side will win. :(

    Extremely deep. And what's even more ridiculous is that most of the country who will vote for the Tories will get zero benefit from them. In fact, they are directly voting their own situations worse.

    This is exactly what bothers me. The selfish rich can justifiably vote for their own selfish interests. Unfortunately, the poor listen to papers and media run by the selfish rich rather than actually read policy for themselves.
