    Bumped into some old faces at the weekend, got to talking about about brexit and the election. All the people there would be traditional or potential labour voters. An nhs worker, a council care manager, an ex teacher, an engineer.

    Four out of the five of us said we couldn’t vote for corbyn. Only the retired schoolteacher was sure he was going to. Five out of the five us hated Johnson.

    labour have no chance because they need voters like this, there’s enough of a core tory vote who don’t care who the leader is. whilst it’s hardly a statistically valid sample, it sums up the mood of people I speak to.

    Seriously, I’ve never known an environment like it. Everybody feels stuck between a rock and a hard place. It’s going to be who you hate least.

    Tony Blair made a similar point today. Not Mr popular but a guy who knew how to win an election.

    It could be worse we could have the snivelling toad Sturgeon down here also. She took a right drubbing on an interview on the BBC tonight. If Salmond wasn't up to his neck in sex assault charges I would have expected him to run on and throw the white towel in.

    It's not just about the leaders though is it. As if Commie Corbyn wasn't bad enough the Shadow Cabinet are either Marxists or thick as ****, or in most cases both.

    Their policies are undeliverable and their MP's unelectable. Even long term Labour voters can see it.

    The only twats left who'll vote for them are gullible brainwashed students and idiots who feel a strange sense of misguided cultural loyalty to them because their families over the years always voted Labour.

    Blair is the biggest liar of them all, and he is a ****
    Maybe BoJo is taking a leaf out of his book

    Being an ex miner I could never vote for the Tories, if the Brexit Party don't have a candidate in my area I may need to hold my nose and vote Boris, I will never vote for those Labour ****s I ****ing loathe them
    I keep in touch with a load of my ex workmates from the pit, a lot from Cas, Wakey and Ponti and they are all saying the same thing, **** Corbyn and the British hating Labour party
    Btw, it doesn't surprise me the ****ing teacher will still vote labour, ****ing thick bastards

    He votes labour because he’s a nice guy and has a social conscience. That’s why most middle class snowflake lefty guardian readers vote labour. The selfish cnuts who think of their own wallet vote Tory.

    Like me.

    I like the idea of helping others, but when it comes down to practicalities I’d rather pay less tax and buy a flash car

    What ever else he does, Boris loves this country, and says it's the best country in the world.

    Of course there are, and no I wouldn't like to reconsider, the greatest man I've ever known was a Man U fan, my Dad.

    well you’d be wrong, nice humble older guy... not the sort to judge someone by their career choice
