Your just nicking my words, its called plagiarism. Think of something original. I haven't got anything good to say about Johnson, but Corbyn's too much of a wildcard. I hope he gets stuffed today, but TBH its going to be close. Maybe a hung parliament

This election in a nut shell. I can't think of anything good about the Tory party, but they aren't Labour so they win. Not really a decent reason to vote for them, is it?

No theft intended, just responding on a similar note re: Johnson.

It's a vote for the better of two evils, I guess.

Dirty tricks and tactics have been used by all parties, why limit it to just the Tories.. One child left ill on a hospital floor two days before an election, mass Labour outrage, 2000 vulnerable girls raped over 15 years, Labour silence... Its ridiculous to think that Labour are somehow a cleaner and purer party.

I probably agree with you in that Corbyn isn't a bad person and means well. Those who have put him up as their figurehead are more to be worried about.

It's ridiculous how the media have been able to peddle this anti semitist tag on someone who has spent his whole life fighting inequality. Apart from the Israeli /Palestine debate, the other factor is that he is fighting a neo liberalist establishment, which billionaire media owners control are very much a part of and are desperate to protect. The Jewish community is and has always been well represented within the 'establishment.' JC tries to challenge this establishment, not their race.
I still despair that the public fall for it.

I didn't support the Ukraine. They have a battalion of Neo Nazis in their ****ing military. I don't support Russia either, the inhuman ****shafts.

Corbyn despises war full stop, something I can get right behind.

Israel, according to amnesty international, has committed tantamount to war crimes in Palestine, can't really think of a reason you wouldn't support Palestinians in that scenario. Or do you follow the churlish trope that anything anti-Israel is antisemitic?

Agreed. It's spooky...
 
The Conservative party is a eternally irratating force for wrong that appeals exclusively to bigots, toffs. Money minded machine men, faded entertainers and selfish, grasping simpletons who were born with some essential part of their soul missing.

There’s talk Boris is in real danger of losing his seat hence him coming out to finally mention his constituency on Twitter and campaigning around there in the last half hour.

Labour weren't silent on it though, that's another false meme that's been doing the rounds. Kier Starmer said that not only should the individuals that failed to act be punished (several of whom were Labour related), but also the law needs looking at as well.

Simon Danczuk MP (Labour) also criticised the authorities light footedness and highlighted the importance of confronting the issue head on.

So they weren't silent on it, they did interviews in the media, but predictably, those interviews weren't picked up in the MSM. In fact, many MPs on both sides were calling for the PPC to resign, though I don't think he actually did.

It's just another attempt at skewering Labour.

Many Jews have fallen for it too.

How stupid of them not to see Jeremy's impeccable credentials.

The turnout round here looks high.

Loads of young voters in the queue to vote. If this is reflected across the country, tonight may see a few lose their seats.

From the videos I've seen its happening in other places as well. Long lines of young people standing patiently in the rain. If its widespread there may well be a few shocks tonight and tomorrow.

Listen up toast rack......why do you talk as if the labour party aren't void of underhand tactics......the Peterborough bi-election stunk of a fix but fortunately the media ignored that one as it was Nige who would have won. I agree, the conservatives have not covered themselves in glory, but no party has.....and if you think labour are clean in all this you are crazy.

P.s.....I wake up an smell pussy most of the time. Sometimes my dogs farts as he is getting old now.

I don't, I'm fully aware of what Labour did in Peterborough, I don't condone it; you're right, it smacked of dodgyness.

I'm not implying Labour are clean, but they haven't resorted to openly trying to con people using tricks that wouldn't fool a Mrs Brown's Boys fan. In this election, they haven't had to con anybody, the Tory party are pretty much a walking meme factory. Though they did pull a stunt earlier today which wasn't too clever, perhaps they're getting worried too.

As a teacher you should know it's odds on the kids will soon be calling you all the ****s behind your back soon.

It's what they do.

Unless it's that school in Brid where all the teachers get jiggy with the pupils.

That's fine, it comes with the job. As long as they're willing to learn what I'm teaching, they could call me whatever they like.
