Following on from the last thread...

I'm also in Penning territory Skeletor. Angry old white man's dream.

BUT AT LEAST HE BUYS A ROUND NOW AND AGAIN FOR THE PUNTERS UP HEMEL FOOTBALL CLUB.

I've had to work with him at the council before. I say work with, more like he turned up and asked when the camera crew were getting there.

I voted like 2 weeks ago now

I don't think I've ever voted for the winning team.

Me neither, I'm 2-0 down on actual voting and 4-0 down including Clinton then Trump. Tbf, it's because my idea of equality is wrong, and the well off should be allowed to continue not paying taxes while poor people die at their expense.

When my side got into some power, Lib Dems, they formed a coalition with the Tories and committed political suicide. Maybe I subconsciously don't want to win.

i hate Pip the poster, i'm sure he's alright in real life (i'm not) but every post he makes about politics is aids

I appreciate what he's got to say even if I vehemently disagree.  It's good to know what the economist of the centre right think.  If only so you can think of ways to counter these arguments.

Weather is f***ing atrocious like.  Not sure what it's like elsewhere but I'll be very surprised if it doesn't affect the vote turnout.

Tory grannies won't leave the house.

the old, selfish and/or hate-filled will surely be the most motivated?

won't let a bit of rain stop me from sticking two fingers up to johnny foreigner and their perfectly reasonable stance on the uk exiting the eu, no siree

[Shearergol]

Do students care about the rain? If they don't vote because of getting wet then frankly they should be f***ed regardless.

I've had to drop the kid off at nursery.  I have to go through the city centre to do so.  All I can see are clear streets and f***ers hiding in shop doorways and train stations.  Just feel like half of them will f*** it off.

Hasn't rained in London yet today fwiw, been grey all day though.

Not sure why Brexit is the only issue people are concerned with. Whoever wins this has 5 years in power, Brexit is expected to take 2 years (will take longer for the effects to hit), leaving whoever wins with 3 years free to do whatever the f*** they want.

May wants room to do a softer Brexit, IMO. If they have a big majority then they don't need to entertain the crazies in the party.

What are Corbyn's views on free trade deals? This is important because if you leave the EU, you're going to need to trade with other countries. You can't turn your back on the world. This is why I would vote Conservative.

is this a joke?
May has made her entire election campaign and her entire time as PM as wanting the exact opposite, in fact she even called for the snap GE under the guise of getting the exact opposite.

Urgh.  Wouldn't enjoy that.

Can't really decide what to expect, can't see a Labour majority or hung Parliament with Lib Dems or SNP going into coalition.  If Labout have made gains I can't see Corbyn leaving even after a loss.

If May ends up with less seats than when she needlessly called an election it's going to make her look massively f***ing stupid, could be the first person to win and election and then resign.  You never know, might be that the results start coming in and we find we've underestimated the youth turnout when drawing up the predictions, but I'm afraid even with May hiding and ballsing everything up, tabloids saying Corbyn is a loony terrorist is enough to spook the older vote into coming out in Droves for her.

'Hi, welcome to the neighbourhood. What do you do for a living?'
'I'm a terrorist'
'Oooh that must be very exciting.'

[Hanshithispantz]

That was the one part of Corbyn's manifesto I disagreed with, his terrorist in every 3rd home policy.

All taken care of at the end of each month.

I'm surprised Tommy Robinson's still around and about after he got debated into a coma by Akala.

Genuinely a relief, proper vulgar up here.

Working with Alex Jones and his english lackey now, is he not?

Terrible in the NE, but got a bit better the last hour.  Won't make a difference here.  Labour will win heavily again, probably even bigger share than 2015.

As much as I agree Corbyn should step aside, (although I'm open to him staying for a transitional period) surely there should be an effort on the PLP's behalf to reconcile with the left of the party.  You get the impression though that they can't wait for this to get dirty again.   Which will only marginalise them with the membership we have now. 

[Thomson Mouse]

I can't take this anymore its nearly as bad as derby day.

Think you've got 2/3 with this one Bluf.
