    I think youve confused labour and conservatives there. Its Boris' brand of politics that encourages a one party system. He has consistently avoided any Parliamentary scrutiny or debate, closed down parliament. Avoiding having votes. kicked out MP's who disagree with him. Attempted to avoid carrying out what parliament has agreed on even if it means breaking the law. And now held an election despite it delaying one of his key objectives just so he can have less opponents in parliament.


    Meanwhile Corbyn's policies have been inclusive up to having somebody who hes had many arguments with as his deputy, and holding a referendum that allows everyone in the country to have a say rather than being stuck with what Boris my way is the only way Johnson comes up with. The main complaint about Corbyn from remainers has been his fence sitting, trying to include everyone.

    And i don't even like Corbyn.


    Also your point about the Lib Dems is just bollocks. parties who are 3rd or lower rarely have fleshed out policies and just focus on specific issues so people can give clear votes for those issues. The more likely a party is to get power, the more fleshed out the policies. That in no way means that they are going to wither away, that's just how politics works.

    Phillip Lee Tory defector to the LD's standing against Redwood in Wokingham. Latest poll: Tory 42 LD 38. Still a 15% Labour vote which could be decisive.

    Boris Johnson with hard on jumps into bed with girlfriend.

    Johnson: Come on let’s get this done
    Girlfriend: What no foreplay?
    Johnson: Come on let’s get this done.
    Girlfriend: But I am not ready.
    Johnson: ugh, ugh, ugh. Aaaagh.
    Girlfriend: I wasn’t ready.
    Johnson: How was it for you babe?

    Boris Johnson cooks lunch.

    Girlfriend: You can’t put that chicken in the oven it’s not defrosted.
    Boris: Come on let’s get this done
    Girlfriend: It will be uncooked.
    Boris: Come on let’s get this done.
    Girlfriend: you’ll make us ill.
    Boris: Come on let’s get this done.
    Girlfriend: You can’t carve it like that is full of blood and uncooked.
    Boris: Come on let’s get this done.
    Girlfriend: I feel unwell.

    Boris does the laundry

    Boris: Come on let’s get this done.
    Girlfriend: Hang on you can’t put all the coloured things in with the whites.
    Boris: Come on let’s get this done.
    Girlfriend: You can’t wash them all on the high temperature wash.
    Boris: Come on let’s get this done.
    Girlfriend: That is all my clothes ruined.
    Boris: Come on let’s get this done.

    I won't ask what year TSS. Number of students greatly increased over recent years due to uni expansion but gives the city a bit of a buzz, and yes, some of those country roads <rofl>

    The Times are so determined to undermine Corbyn that even they have started lying like Boris Johnson. No doubt they have their orders from Murdoch.

    Yesterday they reported that Corbyn voted in Parliament against the Falkland's War.

    He wasn't even an MP at that ****ing time.

    Southampton Itchin is a marginal seat
    Several Maritime industries on River Itchin based here with concerns about brexit
    20 years ago this was the site of the shipyard
    I hear the locals wants certainty
    Used to be a solid Labout seat
    Now its marginal
    Back at Griffin Hoverworks its all a bit of a knightmare

    As in my constituency it is a straight fight between the Tories and the Lib Dems and I have never voted Tory in my life and have no intention of doing so ever you can guess where my vote is going. This means that all the electioneering, the spin and the lies are all going over my head.

    This old git is not for turning.

    Our Tory MP is Suella Braverman who was chair of the ERG for a year and on the Brexit council of cock ups. She had a hefty majority last time round but I have never seen any evidence that she does anything in the area. Labour were almost 22,000 behind but maybe things will be better this time.

    Well that’s my opinion about Corbyn and as you’ve chosen to show such a low level of respect for any view that differs from yours I’ll save you the problem of having to reply. It’s a constant and growing trend on this board to be dismissive of any view right of centre, even for those of us who are not Johnson fans, so continue to talk to each other and have fun, you’ll be pleased to know that you have a clear field to continue your discussion without any further interference from me. I’ll keep off this post page and just continue to enjoy the one that deals with our football team. Shame, because I think it’s a healthy thing to discuss different points of view but this board is no longer a discussion board, it’s just a place to vent antipathy to anyone right of centre with increasing levels of comments that are designed to offend and discourage any response.

    I think you need to reread your original post. I simply said the same thing you did but in reverse with evidence to back it up. In my opinion you were far more disrespectful as your post amounted to slandering Corbyn without evidence or even an argument to back it up.

    If you want to have a discussion you actually have to explain why you have a view. My response was simply to challenge you into providing it, not shut you down.

    It's why I've always had respect for Imps as at least he backs up what he says even if I don't agree with it.

    Nope, that was Cruella Deville, but you knew that really, didn't you. Same attitude and personality type though.

    A quick summary of her voting -
    Sounds like a warmhearted, caring sort of lady.
