SwindonJambo Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 We're talking politicians here, mate. Whiter than white is a phrase than can never be used in their line of work....and that's across the board. Never a truer word said. They'll generally say anything to get elected. It goes with The territory. Even those who enter Politics with the best of intentions soon learn the dark arts of the trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon Sailor Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 All you need to know about Sturgeon 1. Has a go at May for not being elected 2. Calls May for being an opportunist in calling a snap election 3. Says May must regret calling snap election Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboAl Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Corbyn's spending plans are ludicrous. I'm sorry but there's no other way of looking at it Can you explain what specific parts are ludicrous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToadKiller Dog Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Survation the only pollsters still calling it close 1% between Labour and Tory spivs , Yougov have moved from Tory spivs lead of 4% to 7% . Scottish samples of the big pollsters have the SNP anything from 45% to 38% . http://scotgoespop.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/election-eve-polling-roundup.html?m=1 Personally the size of the Tory lead will depend on the under 30 voters getting off their backsides and voting .

Hasselhoff Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I predict another tory majority followed by protest by labour on the streets at the unfairness of it all. Labour/SNP vilify tory voters so much that we just keep quiet and do our talking in the voting booth Sir Alan Sugar is a Labour guy through and through and even he is advising we go nowhere near Corbyn Labour may have been able to polish a turd but he is still just a protesr politician and should be allowed nowhere near the controls of our country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour M Hersh Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Please. So what? The other is now shown to be a rank hypocrite. So she cannot be trusted to keep private matters private (assuming the dug ever said those words to her). Ergo she cannot be trusted. But no doubt you'll slurp like fury regardless.

Seymour M Hersh Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 You mean like the Great Corbyn who now advocates shoot to kill after disavowing it for years. Has he though. I'm sure he just used some empty phrase like full force of the law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusk_Till_Dawn Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 There is a difference between shoot to kill as was advocated in NI and using lethal force to stop a terror attack as it is taking place. Your transformation from Labour to Conservative is now complete. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Rubbish. Corbyn knew exactly what he was talking about. Just found himself in a corner given the events of London Bridge so stuck the car in reverse gear. He'd be a hopeless prime minister. May's a poor prime minister but he'd be worse.

He joined the party when Blair was trying to turn it into the Tories and left when the Labour members voted in a leader that represented what they thought a Labour Party should look and act like.

I firmly believe we have by far the lowest calibre of Politician across the board in my lifetime. It does'nt really matter who I choose as I live in a mega-safe Tory seat with a very privileged toff the sitting tenant (Wantage). I always vote, usually Labour but have no time for the Corbyn iteration of the party. I'll likely end up with the Lib-Dumbs just for the sake of voting, even though I've no love for them.

michael_bolton Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 The unionist parties have done a great stitch-up job in convincing so many hard-of-thinking Scots that the prospect of a second referendum is even close to being the biggest political issue facing Scots.

michael_bolton Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 As for sturgeon, she's done nothing but divide the country!! I never understand this view. Are we supposed to pretend everyone in the country just agrees on everything? Politics is about disagreement and debate. It's inherently divisive. Yet, again, the media (and political opponents) repeatedly call Sturgeon divisive and people actually start to believe it. It's an incredible psychological trick. All politics is divisive. That's what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a bizarre view there.

doctor jambo Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 It is up to you how you vote or don't vote, but I find it surprising that you think a Labour Government would result in a financial disaster for you. Also the SNP are not going to form a government so they can't put your taxes up. SNP have the power to raise or lower income tax....... And after a 10 year pay freeze, the thought of Corbyn bamming me right up with a tax hike on everything over 80k would be a right kick in the moos.
