It was a typo it should have read “our only voice”. It’s this bloody auto correct!
Although now you come to think of it. :1980_boogie_down:

Talking of laughing I have just heard Andrew Marr say to that stupid Diane Abbott, “ let’s just say you were Home Secretary in a labour government”? <laugh> I didn’t know which part of that to laugh at? <laugh>

It certainly would be no laughing matter...

Labour won’t get in.
What sort of a person would vote for a party who’s leader has a problem with Jews, calls terrorists “friends and Brothers” (yes he did for his sympathisers). A front bench that has the stupidest MPs I have ever listened to. And the rest who don’t listen to their constituents?
Actually I can think of someone.

But if the Blues would win an immediate GE, backed by Labour ‘traitors’ wanting Brexit done, why would Remain win a second Referendum?

I don’t buy the argument about the GE constituency FPTP system versus a Referendum majority.
It is quite obvious Uber. In a general election the remain vote would be split over 3 parties (4 in Scotland) and in a first past the post system this can only deliver one result. Whatever happens, one day the brexit issue will be behind us - whether through a hard Brexit, a soft version, or a second referendum, and we should get this behind us before a general election. We need a general election to be 'Brexit free' in content otherwise we will be faced with a distorted result which we have to live with for the next 5 years, long after Brexit (or not) is dried and dusted.

I love all the Tory bashing. I particularly like the silence from the Lefty Labour brigade when they get in.
Truth is Labour always ruin the economy and cause all the problems for the Tories to sort out.
Anyway no point discussing this, as commissar Corbyn ( who has a problem with Jews) Will never win an election to get into No 10. Unelectable and you all know. <cheers>

On another note
Just listening to Trump after this raid and in one part of his answer mentioned Bin Laden saying “ I mentioned Bin laden in one of my 11 books. My books very popular, sold many copies”. <laugh> bloody self loving sod.

Thank you.
 
Many Labour supporters will be voting for the Brexit party, especially in the areas where the Labour MPs have let them down re Brexit. According to the Brexit party all those MPs will be named and shamed in their constiuancies. It also means they don’t need to vote Tory.
The Tory ‘21’ and the likes of Soubrey and Co will also be gone. I can’t wait for Phillip Lee to try his luck against my mate John Redwood... <laugh> He will be gone quicker than a Corbyn policy.

We had a Conservative majority in the 80s which ripped the heart out of British industry and left us with a lopsided economy too much based on the financial sector, which all went tits up a few years later. The second Tory majority of my lifetime triggered an unnecessary referendum which has all the potential to rip Britain apart for years to come, and has done untold damage to our reputation abroad. Yet still you cling onto the fairy tale that the Tories are better for the economy <doh> Statistically Labour governments since 1945 have borrowed less and repaid more than Conservative ones over the same period - that is fact, not wishfull thinking. Corbyn does not have a problem with Jews - he has a problem with right wing Zionist ones, and with the suppression of all legitimate criticism of their actions.

Labour taxes more too. Er, probably. Mind you, the bloody Tories tax too much as well. That bloody £100-123k 60% band... grrrrr, grrrr!

Have you got figures to back this stuff up?

BTW, do you like in Cologne?
