    I think Making Your Mind Up as they launch and retract policies seems strangely apt.

    I think Boris is in The Land Of Make Believe and not London Town.

    Yep. As long as there's evidence.
    See my post on the terrorism thread. As long as liberal PC attitudes prevail we're ****ed.

    Theresa's looking pretty relaxed, given that Boris is about to pull her skirt off...

    How much evidence? How long do we keep them inside? What happens when they are let out - or do we keep them inside forever? If not, we have to monitor them constantly when they are released. Why not just do that now? Never mind liberal attitudes for a minute, it just doesn't make sense.

    Monitor all of them now, 24/7, all three thousand of those that are considered a potential threat. If it takes 20 operatives to monitor one suspect and that each costs, say, £50k pa all in, that's £3 billion per annum. Not so much, really - 1p on income tax raises £4-5 billion.

    The two pictures above sum it up for me. The country is ****ed. One party is said to be too liberal/soft. The other party is in bloody bed with the thing we fight against. Nobody should be allowed to vote until the terror funding inquiry is published oh silly me the Tories have misplaced it.

    Quicker reminder for all those voting today - to remember to bring your pens in case MI5 try to steal the election and elect Tim Farron

    Trumps team say "The President is not a liar" after the sacked Director of the FBI calls him one in front of the Senate Committee.

    Hundreds of first-time voters - with polling cards - turned away from polling stations in Newcastle-Under-Lyme because they were 'not on the register'. Turns out the officers had an out-of-date register.

    Convenient thing to happen in a seat where Labour won very narrowly in 2015 and the UKIP candidate isn't running this time.

    ......and where nearly all of those turned away were likely Labour voters. Apparently the advice is that they should go back to the polling station and ask to speak to the presiding officer. How many of those turned away will never actually get to vote? The result here will be of great interest.
