Dream on 

 

By the way there is only one way to get rid of Brexit immediately which is what I think everyone wants and that is if the middle ground voter votes to remain.  Then it all stops and we go back to getting on with our lives. Job done

Worried, are you?

 

You should be. These are almost the same figures as 2017 except tactical voting may become a bigger factor this time.

 

Everyone wants to get rid of Brexit? Over 1,000,000 Scots voted for it including over 300,000  SNP Voters.

 

You're the one that's dreaming.

 

Scotland isn't the SNP and it certaily isn't JKB either.

I cannot thing of a single moment, when an SNP politician has been kind, or empathetic, or decent. 

 

 

Grow up and be an adult

 

Nonsense statements like your post simply show your inadequacies not that of politicians

 

All parties have people who care and sweeping generalisations like yours simply show that for some they won't listen to any other points of view

Why do you ask? Whats that got to do with it?

 

Aren't you aware you completely diminish your argument  once you use the 'are you Scottish' card?

 

Have you any awareness?

Which part of the description of Corbyn being a lying, racist, anti semitic, IRA loving, terroristic sympathising, Marxist do you disagree with?

 

Imagine telling a father of wonderful mixed race kids and a beautiful immigrant wife that you’re going to vote for a racist like Boris.. Imagine that. 

 

Now what part of  the following quotes  from Boris  do you  disagree with... any off the flowing, take your time now.  "tank -topped bumboys and "piccaninnies"  and "letterboxes" .

 

You really need to look closer to the Tory right to see were all the anti-semitic , homophobic  and racists are. 

 

 

Boris Johnson called gay men 'tank-topped bumboys' and black people 'piccaninnies' with 'watermelon smiles'

BBC slipping up here, and no response to counter it.

 

'The public love him. Wherever he turns up he's greeted like a rock star'

 

 

Saturday night's edition of the BBC's nightly review of the following day's newspapers featured an almost unheard-of event - a frank, unfiltered admission of Jeremy Corbyn's massive popularity with the public.

 

Even more astonishingly, it also included the confession that Corbyn is 'prime ministerial'.

 

So great is Corbyn's popularity, according to the political editor Nigel Nelson, that "wherever he turns up" he is greeted like a "rock star" - and his personal qualities are so great that he is both prime ministerial and the same in private:

 

Astonishing slip by BBC News allows unfiltered positivity about Corbyn onto the airwaves.

 

 

Corbyn's phenomenal energy, stamina and work-rate were also covered - and as if that weren't enough, the strength of Labour's social care policies versus the Tories' complete absence of any was also included.

 

 

The BBC presenter had asked "Very quickly, what's he like engaging with the public" - leading to an instant response: "Well the public love him."

 

 

This must have created some panic in her earpiece, because she quickly attempted to divert the discussion onto whether Corbyn's public persona is at odds with the man in private:

 

The BBC couldn't take back the presenter's 'error' or undo the impromptu honesty about Jeremy Corbyn's huge popularity that it led to.

 

So they did the next best thing. The attacked his character.

 

In the second edition of the review an hour later - even though it was a minute longer and didn't need to be shortened - the BBC made sure the 'mistake' could not be repeated.

 

 

 

Video: truth about Corbyn’s popularity – “public love him”, he’s PM material. How the hell did it get onto BBC? (An hour later, it didn’t)

Heard a guest on the TV mention something along these lines the other day, that the vast majority of people on mainland GB couldn't care less what happens in N.Ireland as they have enough problems in their own constituencies and considering that the Tories don't stand there Johnson can get away with saying pretty much what he wants and it won't affect the outcome of the GE.

Boris is in severe danger of losing his seat.  

He'd then have to order another Tory MP in a safe seat to resign and trigger a by-election so he can be an MP again.

Brutal. Victorian days on whay back if this cluster fecker and his reptiles get in again, no doubt about that, for one thing is certain he and his kind HATE the poor. He has already mate public in various quotes that he does.

 

 

The picture of jack on the floor of Leeds General Infirmary shows the human cost of the harshest ever financial squeeze on the NHS, a damning indictment of the Tories’ criminal neglect.

 

The nasty party in every fecking way.

 

Jack was forced to sleep on the floor of Leeds General Infirmary because of a lack of beds - despite suffering pneumonia.

I have no idea what the guy's name was nor what political party he belonged to if any, I don't think that was even mentioned.

 

As for it being bullshit, I also have no idea, I guess we'll find out on Friday, I simply wrote something which I'd heard, I also made no personal opinion as to whether I thought he was correct or not.

 

As for the Chief Rabbi's comments what have they to do with N.Ireland?

It helps a bit the more that Johnson is exposed as the complete fraud that he is but it will only tinker at the margins.    People will still vote for what they think will result in getting the stuff they want and will justify it by convincing themselves that Johnson's ****wittery is endearingly down to earth.

 

'I'm a self interested ****er with a thin veneer of a passing interest in what benefits society as a whole,   with underlying discriminatory tendancies... just like him... he says what I think... at least you get what you see with him'.

They're all at it, they all have an agenda, everyone of them and they also know that once that tweet is out there, there are plenty who will believe that first tweet and either don't see or completely ignore the second tweet correcting the erroneous first tweet, it's becoming an all to common ploy by the media.

Mail on Sunday published pure lies about Labour's housing plans.

The Sun published a far-right conspiracy theory about a secret communist plot at the heart of Labour.

Major journalists publishing lies about a punch being thrown when nothing of the sort happened.

Cringey stuff .

 

[Rudy T]

In summary:

 

We’ll get brexit done and we can move on (it’s really not that simple is it Boris?)

 

The torries will sell the NHS we’ll pump loadsa cash into and let you all vote on Brexit again (where’s the cash coming from, the usual Labour money tree in the back garden)

 

We know the NHS is a shambles but we’re better than those pesky English (yeah thanks Nicola but that doesn’t make it any better)

 

I’ll be prime minister, well maybe not but I’ll knock about the country smiling a lot that’ll sort the country out (no Jo that’s really not the answer)

 

We’ll save the planet (no sorry Sian we need a bit more info on that one, cheers, and what about the NHS)

 

Honestly every one of them talks absolute shite... country is a mess, sick of listening to them. The political system needs completely overhauled and hopefully when this generation see these charlatans for what they are they might stand up for change!
