    We can have a chat about City when you start to actually engage with the content of the stuff I post in here instead of your Bojo the clown inspired distraction techniques, sound fair?

    I'm all ears, I've laid it on the table and said both Boris or Corbyn are not fit for office. All I see from you is links and posted of Labour Propaganda. You're like a Labour Laura Kussenberg.

    You have no interest in Bradford City, you are like one of these bots that getting the message out that you so much despise.

    My favourite is how we only have 24 hours to save the NHS. How this line comes out every election, how the NHS is going to be sold to the USA and how any problems with the NHS are referred to as being from a different Labour party that handed out massive PFI contracts, how all the problems are the fault of the Tories even when the SNP run the NHS in Scotland and Labour run the NHS in Wales. How one boy photographed on the floor is treated as the norm when it's anything but, it's like saying MidStaffs was the norm under Labour.

    Not one grown up conversation has taken place on the NHS by any side.

    Ah the good old 'kid on the floor' photo. Amazing the amount of times i've been to an NHS hospital over the years yet never seen the need to take a photo of myself or a loved one while there. And then just like magic, 3 days before an election, the photo appears in glorious colour on social media. I get that people have to make an informed choice but i wish the media would stop this manipulation on both sides of the divide. Give us real information about how they are gonna move this country forward.

    The gormless Ashworth had this on repeat whenever interviewed " 600,000 on stretchers in hospital corridors" , "4 and a half million (4,500,000) on waiting lists" that's about all he said just over and over again...

    I think the answer to that is they don’t have a fecking clue mate. It’s been so embarrassing it’s beyond belief, I’ve tried to have an open mind the campaign and see if any party can catch my vote and they’ve failed miserably. Still I get dyed in the wool Labour and Tory voters telling me who to vote for but their only way to convince me is to tell me how useless the other party is.

    You are funny @Clity@Clity, Your posts are childish as you seem to be unable to make posts without insults which show you up like a kid in the playground stamping his feet for attention, It is a shame because it shows you as the one with low intelligence because you cannot debate only throw insults around,
    BTW why not post your qualifications if you are so gifted with them as you keep claiming that gives you the right to throw insults of poor education around, My own on leaving grammar school began at Oxford, Now post yours?
    Waits,

    Good post @Dennis@Dennis but are we not renegotiating membership of the largest trading block so as to be allowed to join other large trading blocks of which some may even eventually be bigger than the EU in the future?
    I accept that the EU is a protectionist block which does defend itself against free trade competition elsewhere in the world without agreements to its advantage,
    While free trade usually promotes growth there is also a case for some tariffs to protect jobs and in some cases security,
    It would be better if those decisions were taken by ourselves in our own interests rather than by others with an EU 27 haggling for their own interests in any agreements, We are the 6th largest economy in the world and a consumer one and should start to be able to flex that advantage with the EU hampering us, I guess it is about confidence in your own ability as whether we stay in a declining trading block or take the challenge to be a real world trading power along with new partners and old friends

    That is usually how GE's go- "vote the buggers out" or "dont let the buggers in to ruin it"
    Rarely positive.

    Tory should win, if Labour had a different leader other than Corbyn, they'd of probably won it tbf.

    If it was not for the dual case of Brexit and Corbyn it would be a landslide win for Labour,
    The Left including Momentum and Corbyn have caused untold misery on the poor and disabled in this country by making Labour unelectable in 2017 and that may be repeated this time

    This is bang on and what should have been happening. Insread we get Boris banging on about ‘50,000’ new nurses and crap like 24 hours to save the NHS. What exactly are we saving? A proper adult discussion has to take place showcasing the plans for the NHS well into this century. Not just throwing money at it cos that never works for anything but a clear directive about where the NHS is heading and what the projected costs are. The NHS is great in theory but in the real world someones got to pay for it.

    I feel exactly the same. It's as if they have no clue how to make their own party look more appealing and instead try and achieve this by attempting to make the others look worse.

    Politics has always been about who can lie the best and get away with it but these bunch of clowns aren't even attempting to cover up their lies and just deflect or shout down anyone that questions it.

    Imagine running a campaign where your whole electability is based upon being "a little bit less sh1t than the others".

    The NHS is a complicated subject, Since the Tories with the Liberals and then by themselves took power in 2010 the NHS budget has been cut from around 7.59% of GDP to around 7.18% of GDP with a huge cut in hospital beds of around 40,000 imposed by both Labour and Conservatives since 2001, The Increases proposed by both parties will not really help that much as a percentage of the increased spending will be gobbled up in pay increases and pensions especially as the minimum wage is increased,

    I have serious doubts that a Boris led Govt is really wanting to negotiate a trade deal with EU27. We will therefore by default revert to WTO rules and become the only country in the world to use WTO exclusively. And of course most of our exports, ie services, aren't even part of WTO leaving us in limbo for the majority of our exports.

    It's ironic that Boris, Raab and Gove were selling the NI arrangements in the WA as good for NI businesses and their employees because it meant NI having the advantage of staying in the single market and the internal part of the CU! A pity that the rest of the UK doesn't have that advantage.
