Off Topic General Election Special

Theresa May and her team ran their entire campaign not on any of their own policies (or more correctly speaking lack of) but on highlighting terrorist sympathiser Jeremy's links.

'Coughs' DUP

We now have a real terrorist coalition of chaos.

 

**** off Tobes.

 

Scotland is their nation and they won the election so they'll toe their own line. Whilst they are dented it'll make little difference to their demand for another referendum. It may well strengthen it as they have seen the size of the unionist vote. Not in opinion polls but in an actual election where the question of independence was the most important consideration.

This election effectively buries Corbyn's past record. They chucked CND, the IRA, his voting record on anti-terrorist legislation at him yet he increased Labour's vote to 40%. Despite all that bile Labour is now 2% behind the Tories. I'd say that makes him a credible Prime Minister.

Millions saw May as a credible Prime Minister and voted Tory. After seeing the result how many still see her as a credible Prime Minister? I'd say the numbers have gone down considerably. The only thing saving her is there is no obvious alternative leader waiting in the wings.

After Labour's campaign the numbers thinking Corbyn could be a good Prime Minister has grown.

My point, May has to make some difficult choices about Brexit, social care, the NHS, tax, national insurance, immigration, Northern Ireland, the economy and the threat from terrorism. The choices she makes will undermine the Tory Party further.

Corbyn, on the other hand, will have a fairly united party, at least in the short term, and will continue to campaign outside parliament to broaden support for Labour's vision. That will put added pressure on the Tory backbenchers who are now looking over their shoulders. Labour backbenchers thinking that Corbyn would mean they would be unemployed in the short term have survived. They have already started reassessing their views on Corbyn.

The election settled nothing and tipped the scales towards Corbyn's vision of Britain. Maybe not enough but the momentum is with Corbyn.

Eh?

 

OK badly phrased. For a scientific PhD the norm was three years full-time, but you could take up to 10 years if you were doing it part time. It also would depend on degree classification. Lower than a 2:i Honours would mean an MSc or an MPhil would have to be done initially, either concurrently.

(I got a 2:ii, but still could have done it in three years via initially registering for an MPhil)

An arts PhD was different as there was no lab research, so less time was probably allowed. A science PhD would have been two years lab research and one year for writing the thesis. It has been a long time since I didn't do a PhD


Everyone is bored now. Sorry I mentioned it.

 

Don't some people get on their high horse?

 

That would fall under medical emergencies which was just a fast way of saying it. If the child isn't going to have a good quality of life or the mother is going to be beyond reasonable risk then it's a valid and humane option.

To clarify I'm on about the masses of abortions which are due to irresponsible actions, whether that's an impulse "let's have a baby!" and changing your mind 8 weeks later or failing to use adequate contraception "because it feels better".

 

An unborn baby having DS isn't a medical emergency.

 

'Corbyn supported the IRA'

'muh coalition of chaos'

Funny that the Tories will have to jump into bed with former Loyalist paramilitaries.

 

I agree but I can also see how it can create a genuine dilemma for parents.

 

The tories will continue to rule thaks to the DUP and Sinn Fein*


* they boycott Westminster, thus meaning less opposing votes.

 

Yeah exactly, and I think they should be allowed to make that choice.

 

Stop been ****

 

I'd need to start in order to stop.

You're the one who asked for any reasons for abortion and I've given some.

 

It's ****ing great the their main slogan of the Election has come back to smack them massively in the face.
Arrogance indeed.

 

S

Soon I hope I love my Polling station.!!

 

For you young'uns bless yer.....
