    He's not just wrong. He is a hypocrite. The UK deserves freedom from the tyranny of the EU but Ukraine doesn't deserve freedom from the tyranny of Russia. Also, he made a fool of himself trying to defend his "admiration of Putin". He said he admires that he can keep control of a nation like Russia.

    Which means he admires the murder of political opponents and journalists.

    Which he said to a journalist.

    In a discussion about why he wants to be leader of this country.

    But his apologists will say I am taking this out of context. Even though that is what he said.

    "The UK deserves freedom from the tyranny of the EU" That's gone really well hasn't it?

    Have they been arrested? AFAIK they are being "investigated" by the betting commission. Police not involved yet if they will at all? Definitely a moral issue but not sure they have actually broken any law as such and if they have then the police would await the gambling commission's findings.

    Not defending them at all. For one they should know better, timing wise at least and secondly it is cheating if you know the result of the bet you are putting on before you place it!

    I think it will disappear soon enough though. probably the day after Sir Kier is crowned.......not that I am suggesting it is being blown up bigger than it is for any kind of political advantage ;)

    Blair refused to introduce Gay marriage! Not just didn't get round to it. Tories did it.
    Blair brought in NMW at a very low rate on the pretense it was a guard against low payers but what it actually did was bring the market rate for the bulk of lower earners down to that level and provided a base for each level above to gauge against. Not the top earners of course. the savings on bringing the low earners pay down meant more for the big boys.
    Tories were forced to push the NMW up because of that. Mostly because otherwise lower earners and the squeezed middle would fall so far behind that they would lose a huge amount of votes.

    For all the "Blair years much better than Toriy years" Blair didn;t do half of the "lefty" things that the Tories implemented once they got in.....and a lot of the problems we now face were because Blair's government talked the talk on building infrastructure...."I will not apologise for building more schools, hospitals etc" were actually built on PFI contracts at exorbitant rates instead of the government just borrowing it themselves. All this in order to line more big boys pockets and something you would have thought it was the Tories doing it if the practice was described to you but Nope. It was Labour with an actual Labour man (Brown) in charge of the money!

    Blair was a disaster for this country and I doubt we will ever recover from the impact..........not that it seems anybody cares if we recover. Lets just keep borrowing more and more, forever and ever.....Let us be the next Greece! And yes you would all love that because you would seel the country to the EU if you could!

    127 Tory peers supported gay marriage. 136 voted against. 40 abstained.

    217 Labour MPs voted for gay marriage. 22 against. 22 abstained.

    Just saying.

    I will have to fact check Imp’s post. As a mainly righty, even I find a lot of it hard to believe.

    The same labour that can’t wait to get into bed with Hamas? Interesting.

    Almost seems like the left prefer virtue signalling instead of building the country and will back any cause as long that they feel gains them some popularity

    Can you find me the part about Hamas in the manifesto? One quote promoting Hamas from Labour? Any evidence at all that Labour are ‘in bed with Hamas’?

    Seems almost like you are more interested in listening to right-wing narrative than engaging even 2% of your brain.

    A party with no morals, standards or dignity.

    A party that will say anything to get into power. A party that represents none of the working people of Britain’s interests.

    A party that cares more about virtue signalling than enacting any real change.

    The image didn't load for me at first so I thought it was just a text post, where the description could have been for any of the parties <laugh>
