    Or, because their dad, and his dad, and his dad before him did so?

    Can’t recall any Tories getting in during the Blair years in Hull.

    In some cases, yes. But just the same as what would happen in safe Tory seats.

    In situations as of now, trust me, the boots on the ground will have prevented a bigger defeat.

    Yet just last week people on here were saying that what people really wanted was to remain. The Labour Party is now a Londoncentric party, headed by people who never had a proper job, with little connection to the traditional Labour voter and have treated their voters outside of London with disdain thinking they knew better and are now reaping the whirlwind.

    True. But people of my age, teenagers in the 1960s, went the opposite way to their dad, Labour or Tory, because that was what you did then, Though, likeMark Twain, I have found as I have got older, that my dad has become wiser.

    True.

    What you also have to consider is that the so-called Remain parties were often fighting like **** against each other.

    Some of the Lib Dem tactics would have made Putin blush.

    It's actually sickening to see!!! They've all been crawling up his backside,now they're dropping him like a ton of bricks.

    I don't like Corbyn but I like people like that less.He'll do the honourable thing tomorrow and that's probably best for him.

    Never had someone knock on my door, and only one leaflet through the door. Was surprised at how many were voting, had to queue to get on the car park which has never happened before, but no one from any party hovering around as previously.

    Agreed. Makes them look like utter self serving charlatans.

    Corbyn will resign, when the results are finalised. Probably tmw.

    Take a suicide vest into the House of Commons and clean the UK of its most deadly disease?

    One can only hope.

    I'm East Riding too and I know Labour never bother putting any resources into it.

    That said, I've never had the Conservatives here too.

    Safe seat and all that I suppose.

    I have voted in the past for the person, not the party, in local elections. The fact he was a City fan was nothing to do with it.

    I once has a SWP bloke knock on my door in Hull. I tried to gently tell him that knocking on doors on a street off Princes Avenue where everyone buying there house waving a paper whose headline said”Abolish Private Property” wasn’t a good example of targeted marketing.

    Ha. When I first read that I was thinking an SWP bloke was door knocking in Brid.

    Hellfire.

    So, will prep school educated Corbyn, his Winchester educated adviser Seamus Milne, privately educated McDonnell, who has tried to cover up the fact, and public school educated founder of Momentum, Lansman, be departing and letting working class people with experience of the real world take over?
