They'll get in done with. They'll give us another referendum, and 'the people' - having reflected for 4 years - will say 'No, it's not worth it'.
<laugh> That boats gone mate. The reason this manifesto is fantasy is because he won't be PM. I heard today he has a one in five chance of being PM...Its more like a million to one.
 
Nice one Pete and thank you.

The situation we have with this thread is that the mods would not mod it as we can't mod a political thread. We didn't want a political thread for the reasons you can understand. The posters wanted it though and as for all things QPR they were in the doldrums back then and the board would be relatively dead. We agreed that this thread would be self-moderating. The thread could continue as it was supposed to be self-moderated. This kinda worked while sb_73 was involved and he had a tendency to try and keep matters in line, but sb_73 has since gone awol.

I realise that the thread has descended into a willy-waving contest and has become somewhat over personal. In that instance, we could pull it and ban almost all of our members who have posted on it leaving us with almost no posters or prorogue it until after the election.

For your information, we haven't received one complaint about this thread although I do agree at best, it's unsavory.

Thanks 999s, hopefully things will settle down after the 12th

General election latest: Polls show extremist Labour deserted by patriotic working-classes
oh dear...

A Deltapoll survey for The Mail on Sunday interviewed 1,526 British adults online between November 14 and 16 and found support for the Tories has surged to 45 percent.

It gives the Conservatives a 15-point overall lead over Labour, up from 12-points.

Among upper and middle class voters, the Tories hold a 13 point lead over Labour.

Jezza is having a mare with these weird policies of his. The Brexit one is a joke and he obviously is not respecting or listening to the people. Trying to hit big business is stupid as they are the ones that bring in the big money and employ people.
Jezza is so out of touch with a modern economy and the people of this country. He belongs in the late 70's with Micheal Foot.

Although I must say he is right about the trains because they are shocking. As a train geek I actually think it's a good idea. I also want to see the return of steam locomotives with 2 red flags on the front like in Dr Zhivago.
 
Yes. I can’t get onto Oddschecker right now but the odds on him being PM after the election will be far shorter than a Labour majority which is accepted as being just about impossible.
Okay clever pants I get your point. :emoticon-0100-smile I can't wait for this weeks poll. I reckon Corbyn has slipped further down. Limps are dropping like a stone and i have just heard that Swinson has all but conceded that the limps will get a majority. All Boris needs to do, is to lock himself in the same room as JRM and keep Raab away from the BBC and they will get a good majority.
