    I guess you don’t watch main stream media then, the word nazi, often followed by scum, is used regularly at political rallies. Gets mentioned that much the word has lost its meaning. Infact it gets used far more frequently than the word communist.

    Yes, but it's used to describe people like Tommy Robinson, who actually is a Nazi, and his racist followers.

    But of course Tommy Robinson is an extreme case in point and is kind of the point i'm making. Its like a left wing bingo card where words like racist, right wing and nazi and the like are thrown about in a fit of faux outrage. I understand the difference, unfortunately most who use the words don't.

    I think most people can tell the difference between a fascist and an ignorant bellend, not many fascists about, I admit. Plenty of ignorant bellends about though.

    Read this and weep, Quoted from official people and documents that mean a paper would be sued if untrue, But you keep the red blinkers on that allow people like him to fool others
    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7590207/John-McDonnell-misled-public-finances-Britains-biggest-council.html

    "Internal documents from the now-defunct Greater London Council (GLC), never previously published, lay bare the full extent of McDonnell’s behaviour.

    The confidential papers include statements by a senior civil servant, a fellow Labour councillor and former GLC leader Ken Livingstone setting out in detail how his then deputy McDonnell misled the public over the council budget, then the largest in Western Europe."

    Probably same as me, Daily Mail. Still dont get your point, and how anybody could defend McDonnell who would try and implement Marxist policies on our great country

    BBC editing footage to show Boris's wreath laying in 2016 to cover up for how scruffy he looks this year.
    proper banana republic stuff.

    When there is a general election, does anyone know which seats never change hands? Is it like America where only a few places ever determine the balance of power in an election or am i barking up the wrong tree?

    Not sure he has RT, he could have gone from most loved leader to most hated if he had fecked it up...
    Still remains to be seen as to whether he has done the right thing but we must hope so...

    I can see why he's done it Tone, no point in diluting the Tory vote and he's got his mate in charge now who i'm presuming will look after him if they win the election. It does smack of what he did with ukip though, he gets the ball rolling then jumps ship. Shame in my eyes because i wanted someone, whether that be Farage or a.n.other, to come along and change the face of British politics away from the tried and tested failures of Conservative and Labour. I guess i should have realised they all piss in the same pot.

    On the contrary IMO he is guaranteeing a pro brexit result, The Brexit party will pick up some Labour constituencies which will allow Boris to go back to Brussels and seek a better deal with no one to over rule a no deal.
    If that is the case the DUP could be brought back on board during voting as he could tell the EU there will be no hard border within Ireland.

    As usual Farrage is full of piss and wind, his nasty little party will win zero seats, but he will no doubt try and take some credit when the conservatives win and Boris gets his deal done. There just aren’t enough closet racists and Daily Mail readers around to feed his ego.

    So I gather from your reply Nigel is not on your Christmas card list.
    I'd say for us brexiteers what Farage has done can only help the cause, if it gets the Tories an unassailable majority I couldn't care less.
    The remainer's played their cards during the last 3 years and tried to make sure brexit didn't happen, I believe after the 12 December they will regret not voting for Mays deal.
    I'm not sure Boris will be happy with the deal he has, if they get returned with a large majority he just might go back to Brussels and demand a better deal with his ACE up his sleeve if no movement by the EU negotiators he might just play it..
