    Even as a Labour voter who wants the Tories out. Calling this election so soon to the Brexit negotiations was an insane thing to do. Shouldn't have been called.

    What was insane was not having the manifesto sorted and all her ducks in a row when she called it. May's not come out of this at all well...

    Not as far as I'm aware, mrs dropped our postal votes in because we forgot to bloody post them!!

    This could all come back to bite her in the arse. (Long way to go yet mind)

    Not at all, as David Mitchell has just said on C4, she's lowered her majority and weakened her own party for nothing.

    I think the cluster of political events will have been at play in recent terror attacks too. It's easier to throw us into political chaos so increased the risk. France too targeted through a busy political schedule. We put a target on us.

    Everything is bit too manic at the moment. Whoever wins has lot of work to do quickly.

    They tend to do that mostly in the marginals Bri.
    They're the seats that win & lose elections.

    One of my friends does the polls in Darlington. But there wasn't one at my station today and she wasn't asked this year. Darlo is usually a solid labour seat but it's at it's weakest at the moment. Strange.

    The age group that will be most affected by Brexit in the longer term. No bad thing for them but the sad thing is that UKIP is the architect of this situation and I am happy that they are predicted as getting no seats.

    Jeremy Vine is a complete knob as well but some of the other stuff outweighs his presence.

    Just out of interest I have followed some the latest on CNN and their pundits are saying that the ordinxary people are fighting back against the Elitist of the Elite who forced Brexit on them.

    They are American of course.
