Off Topic The Politics Thread

I did look on Wiki originally Goldie and honestly couldn’t find anything specific. Plenty of anti Israeli stuff I certainly agree but anti Jewish ?
He talked of ‘dark forces involved’ (from memory).....wasn’t that the same time that an Israeli official was secretly filmed admitting to be involved in smearing Corbyn and Labour as anti-Semitic ?
Is no one now able to criticise the state of Israel without being accused of being anti-Jewish ?

 

Bobs right Eelers.......you need some rest mate.
Sleep well my slippery chum.

 

He said Labour had given too much ground and been too apologetic over the complaints by Jewish members and MP's.

 

Well, the voter has the chance to decide. This will be a Brexit election and I doubt whether the domestic stuff will feature strongly, even if Corbyn wants it to

 

There’s what he said. I see no attacks on Jewish people personally and no defence of anti- semites in the Labour Party.

 

My point was that the Brexit election is going well so far for Johnson.

If domestic stuff takes centre stage, it will get worse for him.

 

Perhaps, but the fact is, Corbyn is pretty unpopular and it would take something near a miracle to change that.

 

Yeah, Labour aren't going to win, but it's looking more likely that the Tories won't either.

 

This doesn't sound great though, when measured against a Jewish Labour MP who had to have police protection at the Labour Party conference. Surely you do more not less when members of a religious minority are receiving vile abuse and death threats from within the party?

 

two of the latest polls

Tories leap eight points to open up 17-point lead
RESULT: Con 41%, Lab 24%, Lib Dem 20%, Brexit Party 7%, Green 3%.

Labour trailing 15 points behind as voters 'bored and fearful'
RESULT: Con 36%, Lab 21%, Lib Dem 18%, Brexit Party 12%, Green 6%.

 

You're a brave man to make a prediction at this early stage

 

Too many deniers Goldie. They won't accept evidence. Even if I found that fab radio interview about jezza from inside, they would rubbish it.

 

You don't believe polls though, Ellers.

I believe more in the bookies, who make No Overall Majority a shade of odds-on now.

 

They were ill judged comments for sure....but anti-Semitic or attacks on Jewish people ? Really ?

 

Strollers post comes across as defeatist. Tories will win and win well.

 

That wasn't a prediction Goldie, it was an observation. Check the bookies.

 

I cant believe this! Why didn't I post that as well? William hill has Tories at 5/6 and Labour at 16/1 I believe evens for hung parliament.
I cant see it myself but a lot can happen in 6 weeks.

PS
I don't normally believe in 1 or 2 polls Stroller, that is correct but when every poll has near enough the same information, then I take note.

 

You've already shown, in your exchanges with Raving, your bewildering lack of understanding of how opinion polls work, Ellers.

The bookies initially had a Tory Majority as the slight favourite, but they now have No Overall Majority as the slight favourite. A small change, but significant, I think.

 

A wee ditty for you Ellers.....seems my man has a bit of an issue with BoJo

We should push this for number 1
