It’s like the rest of the country, the good guys are saying vote left for the health service and the poor and the homeless. But slightly more people are quietly sat there tugging themselves thinking, nah, **** ‘em.

[chrisp65]

Yep.

Please, if you can, listen from 40mins onward. You'll hear some of the things I have previously mentioned.

I can't think of anything potentially funnier than a hung Parliament caused by a massive drop in Tory support because rural areas are snowed in and people can't get out to vote. 

There's also a likelihood that it'd highlight the importance of the NHS, with thousands of pensioners being ferried from just outside the polling stations with broken collarbones and fractured hips.

Any forecasting over 3 days away is rubbish

My oldest friend put this up the other day. I'm just going to lift it it wholesale.

The one thing that strikes me most about the current election campaign is that, if you dropped into it not knowing who'd been running the country for the last 9 years, you'd assume from the way the Tories were presenting themselves that they were the opposition here to fix almost a decade of Labour neglect that had left a country on it's knees.

I find it incredible that anyone that isn't either utterly selfish or utterly thick as mince would even consider voting for them.

Your friend has hit two of the major problems in this country, people are utterly selfish and as thick as mince, The Venn Diagram has a large overlap between the two as well

That in itself is a pretty powerful electoral coalition though.

This account is great for constantly reminding yourself that most voters do not have a particularly coherent perspective on things. Meet Mr Dundee East:

Indie Journo asks him a Brexit question at the NATO Summit presser, how else was he expected to respond?

If you open the door for someone, expect them to walk through it.

As much as I really do dislike Johnson... etc

PS Alex Andreou is also an utter cock

He's still a cock

and it's not a Brexit question, it's a trade question

heh, nope he claimed he usually watches some of it in the morning. When it was pointed out that it isn't actually on until 3 o clock he said that was a repeat  ..

 

Julie Etchingham: 'Do you sit down to watch the Queen's speech, Mr Corbyn?'

Jeremy Corbyn: 'It's on the morning, usually we have it on some of the time.'

Etchingham: 'It's not on in the morning. It's at three o'clock in the afternoon.'

Corbyn: It's when its repeated... in the afternoon.'

Etchingham: 'So you don't sit down as a family to watch the Queen's speech.'  

Corbyn: 'We don't watch television very much on Christmas Day. Maybe a film in the evening. Erm I'd like to do a bit of exercise on Christmas morning.'

Etchingham: 'You do some exercise on Christmas morning. I don't think the Queen's speech is in the morning.

'It's three o'clock in the afternoon. That's when everybody watches it.'

Corbyn: 'Well. Our Christmas is sometimes...'

Etchingham: 'You don't watch it do you, Mr Corbyn.'

Corbyn: 'There is lots .. lots to do .. I enjoy the presence of my family and friends around Christmas. Obviously, like everybody else does.

'And, I also visit the homeless shelter, either on Christmas Day, or the day before, to talk to, and listen to people's lives, about how they could be made better with a government that cared for them.'
