colhint Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 (edited) You Lot are a bunch of buggers. I have never bought, read or googled either the Sun or the Mail for well over a decade. I couldn't name any of their journalists. But you lot keep posting them on here. Actually I have never bought a copy for over 20 years.

Anyway, I've added an additional 2 votes to the ballot by informing 2 18 year olds that they could vote without their poll cards. And convinced one 50 year old to spoil ballot who wasn't going to vote. That makes me feel good, I'm aghast at the disillusionment felt by so many about politics. I'll drag folk to the polls if I have to even if to draw a cock on the ballot paper. Without engagement we'll keep getting results that the majority of the country oppose. All good stuff. However, I'm afraid we are going to have to take this onto the streets. I'd rather we didn't. As you say, the majority oppose. And we will oppose.

Has he balls. He's got his own agenda and it doesn't include improving our quality of life, that's for damn sure. It has plenty to do with increasing his own wealth and influence. Quoting The Sun in a thread about politics is shameful. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry, but even if you support the Tories or just don't like Labour, how can that front page be very good? To me, it's representative of a public political conversation devoid of intelect, substance and wit. That front page doesn't give you any (honest) reasons to vote for or against anyone. It does, however, give you all the reasons you need not to ever buy the f***ing sun. Edited June 7, 2017 by Michelsen 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then there are plenty of people devoid of intellect, substance and wit, so they need their bright colours and small words to help them understand the things that grown-ups talk about.

His spin doctors have done a better job than Mays and coupled with his fan boys on social media adopting the tactic of intellectual superiority over anyone who dare not believe the revisionism of Jezza approach ...well we are kinda where we've been on all the recent elections .... I guess tomorrow we see if all he won over was social media and students or convinced the public ... I'm not convinced but there is also a small part of me that thinks May's team made such a hash of things that they've inadvertently just **** the country ( more than they would have done themselves ) When's your boy Gove coming back to rescue things with his unique brand of politics....

Indeed but if 2010 , 2015 and brexit taught us anything it's that students don't get out of bed to vote and people on social media will be busy taking pictures of their food to get out and vote But you know what I meant , it wasn't the converted he needed to convince ... did he get through to those that abandoned the party and need to be convinced to return , the floating voters etc. i don't know that he has ... I don't think May did either , but she didn't really need to in the way Corbyn did .... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
