Off Topic General Election Special

But ..but...I thought someone had vowed to promote a gentler type of politics?

 

Spot on.

The country isn't fine, it's in decline, but let's vote for the same government that's responsible for it. Talk about being stuck on the hamster wheel.

 

And by the end of that decade it was well and truly ****ed.

 

Very well said. The current ****edness of politics is not to be underestimated. ****ing it harder is then an odd choice.

 

My finger is hovering over the button.

I appreciate it's an emotional topic, and passions can get raised, but keep to the issues and avoid the personal comments to other posters please.

 

Jamaica and Kazakhstan. How about Germany, France and similar countries to ours not ones in the same league or stage of economic development.

 

So your not a fan of whataboutery then?

 

And even more unequal now.

 

Surely the communist countries in Europe were more equal?

 

The sort of countries with a public sector the size envisaged by the Labour Party, you mean? Hmm, interesting.

 

No. They they were totalitarian states obviously.

 

Don't usually get into discussing politics, Just had the local Labour candidate come knocking at my front door, I was asked what if any were my concerns with the current state of affairs in the country , to which I politely replied,that I had some concerns with Corbyn's links to terrorist groups, to which the lady replied "we'll leave it there" and walked away, in that one action this lady made my mind up we're my vote was heading( it was going we're it was always going and it wasn't Labour).

 

That wasn’t whataboutery it was a comparison. And, as you once pulled me up on an error, it is you’re...

 

Castro can you just put what you believe in and why all you do is post attacks and sneer at labour
That’s fine you don’t like them
What is it you do like about the torries
Post something positive ffs

 

I would have said the same thing of the labour govt back then too, I'm not aligned to any party and have voted tory, lib dem, Green and Labour in local, general and EU elections, the key is the here and now for me and the country is in awful decline and the current govt are using a single emotional issue in brexit to potentially win 5 more years in power through convincing those they've hurt the most to vote for them

 

I wouldn't have walked away, but time is precious and you were trotting out prime bullshit.

What links to terrorist groups did he have other than establishing dialogue?

Look forward to reading the proof from you.

 

The entire Conservative campaign, from what I have seen, is based on misinformation, smear and cheap meaningless slogans.

Would love to hear otherwise.

 

They were in Europe. And admired by Corbyn and McDonnell. As well as many union leaders like McCluskey and Corbyn’s adviser, Winchester educated man of the people Seamus Milne.

were we second only to Sweden in strikes, 3 days weeks, power cuts, IMF bail outs and mounds of rubbish, unburied bodies and picket lines stopping people getting into hospitals?

 

Don't like the NS personally, but have a read of this article by Danny Dorling.
