the snap general election thread

I find it hugely ironic that forumites, who last year were all too happy with the populist claptrap of the Leave campaign, are now up in arms when Jeremy applies the same tactics.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, who lived in Jamaica for two years in his youth, said that, as prime minister, he would be ready to apologise for the slave trade.


National commissions have calculated the sums could run into trillions of dollars.

Your saying he was ready to apologise.
Did he commit to reparation?

Elitist Remain newspaper comes out for Mrs. May.
Does that mean you'll be voting Labour, Conrad?

Change is good.

I saw little populism in the official Leave campaign.


I see a ton of it in Corbyns fairy tale wonderland

None of it is disputed and if it wasn't true it Corbyn & his team would certainly have challenged it legally.

So if you want to debate like a grown-up at least have the decency to accept when you lose.

Typical response from a tory type........... it's all about winning and losing..............no attempt to look for common ground? As your sidekick says above you have all 'the facts' and people who can't see this are incompetent. Really though you are trying to protect your priviledges and the best way .......like the gutter press is to smear your opponent. This attitude is the very reason people are backing Corbyn in increasing numbers.

They claim only she has the abilities to negotiate Brexit.


Corbyn with his wally parrots, Farron and Sturgeon on either shoulder, would be a blizzard of competing aims and spineless hat doffing to Brussels.


I'm surprised you guys that dislike uncertainty (Moby specifically mentioned this) and change would wish to take a massive leap in the dark with the Coalition headed by the Communist Party of Great Britain.

Blah blah blah yawn.

What a pathetic response. You're mugged up & rather than be big enough to say "fair enough, I asked for proof & you provided it" you go off on some pathetic little whine.

Last time I waste my time responding to your bile.

Left wing folk see everything is such simplistic terms that debate is virtually impossible. It's all emotion and magic money tree's, never any tough choices or common sense practicality.


Political Facebook posters in my area are virtually all left wing. A daily drip feed of the most infantile milk n honey nonsense, and so entitled and spoilt always asking for more from the State, never satisfied and never seeing themselves as having some responsibilities (to for example help a Motability neighbour get to the Docs when his scooter broke, oh no its the Governments problem, the Govt must pay for and solve every last little thing, its pathetic)
