    What is the goldfish thing in reference to?

    A few letters seems a slightly petty reason to change vote - that said you did say you were only leaning that way

    This campaign is too long. Sunak’s plan was that the public would be soured by prolonged exposure to and scrutiny of Starmer. I’d suggest that hasn’t worked so far but I guess it still might with two more weeks

    Well, they obviously think I've got the memory of a goldfish. I'd only vote Lib Dem to be tactical anyway - I have no interest in their policies. And I don't appreciate being inundated with the same **** time and time again.

    I just put it straight in the recycle bin after I've had a read and duplicates go straight in, no biggie.
    I haven't had any Tory stuff through the door, but may be on a Do not visit list after I was rather abrupt with one who had the temerity to knock my door a while back before the council elections. I ought to get one of those 'not friendly' vests like you can put on a reactive dog :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    It’s a pathetic regurgitated “got ya” raised by rabid lefties quite often.

    It’s a ludicrous point to wang on about considering absolutely all of their success is down to his vision and his work ethic

    Yes it is simple but we have a number of the self righteous trans allies on here who call anyone with opposing views a bigot.

    Rickie isn't a fan of Starmer then.

    What are you even talking about. Archer stated that Elon had named Tesla after Nikola Tesla. I mentioned that he was not involved in the naming of the company because he was not part of the company when it was founded. Which is simply a matter of fact: he didn't name it Tesla, Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning did, and Musk joined later.

    We've gone over this a few times before, when you steadfastly accused the Biden administration of doing things that happened before there was a Biden administration: adherence to the concept of linear time is not a lefty plot.

    Why are former Saints heroes all barking mad?

    All these parties telling us they are committed to carbon neutral policies are filling my recycle bin up with paper!

    Sunak's plan was probably hoping the "working class labour vote" would be too busy with the football to go and vote.

    Im saying, that you know full well that you’re being facetious.

    Let’s use an example:

    Imagine if i gave you the $6.5mil dollars that Elon used from his PayPal sale to refinance Tesla. No strings attached.

    Would you have turned it into a global giant and revolutionised the motor & electric vehicle industry?

    People have had enough of the traditional parties.

    I doubt the real GE will see any real change, but i hope it does

    We're getting a Starmer government and there will be real change. Not the sort of change I imagine you'll want to see, but there'll be change alright.
