Not just Brexit Dave. It's clearly a big factor. But I've knocked on doors in trad Labour voting areas and many people said they couldn't vote for Labour with Corbyn as leader.

 

All I will say is well done and if this exit poll is correct it shows that there is a mandate for brexit for once in 3 years. Go ahead and get on with it guys and this is from a hardline lib dem voting remainer. Get on with brexit and stop blaming remainers its all in your court now. If it goes badly dont try to sugar coat the crap like you have done so far. Own it and deliver the golden uplands that is brexit.

 

Democracy is the big winner, The Politicians ask the nation a question promising to enact the result, The Politicians of some parties then do everything they can to block that result being enacted, The public then remove those politicians that blocked enacting that democratic vote, DEMOCRACY IN ACTION,

Good speech by Boris this morning understanding votes were lent by some Labour voters and thanking them and promising not to let the down,
As Boris said this morning "Lets get Brexit done!" and then "Lets get Breakfast done!"

 

Give up...... I called Amber out because I can't get my head round signing up to a Bradford City forum and having no interest in posting about Bradford City. If you can actually show me what post that think could be upsetting then I'll apologise? But they were questions about City which she ignored.

Jesus christ get a grip if we can't have a little bit of banter then why even post on a discussion forum. To me it seemed like he/she was only on here to push a political agenda and nothing more, very strange that Amber also hasn't been on since the results were out.

 

You seem a very angry man. Perhaps I could recommend not moving to another democratic country, it might save you having to move again once another result comes in that you don't like.

 

In 1985, Neil Kinnock took a stand against the party inside the party known as Militant.

Today that party inside the party is Momentum and they need kicking out like Alan Johnson was speaking up for.

If they stick a Long-Bailey, Burgon, Thornberry, etc as leader they are just getting Corbyn Mk2 and Momentum will continue to run the show.

Corbyn should have resigned straight away and an interim leader should have been appointed, the fact he stays on says to me they are trying to position one of the above into the job to continue with this failed experiment.

Everyone can see this, except the inner circle who are now deluding themselves thinking they had popular polices and that they won the argument. You see people like Burgon on TV and you know they haven't learnt anything from Thursday.

If Boris moves to the left on the NHS and to the right on crime and security he could end up holding that red wall for years to come.

 

Corbyn, McDonnell and Abbott. Has there ever been such a frightening prospect in British politics than the thought of this trio running our country?

I hope the people tempted to vote Labour come to their senses and resist.

Trump is 100% correct in saying we would be in a bad dark place if this Marxist trio seize power

 

Agree that British politics is in a bit of a collective mess, and I am not sure it is all down to Brexit.

I have always voted Conservative since Maggie charmed me just after I became of age, voting wise. I had seen the country in ruins under Callaghan, after I left school ion 1976, and I was determined to vote for anyone that could unseat the Labour puppets orchestrated by the unions.

Tony Blair has been the only Labour leader to offer genuine hope to the country in my lifetime, but Bush had too much influence over him in the end, culminating in the illegal invasion of Iraq, based on too many lies and spin by Alistair Campbell. The tragic death in 2003 of Dr David Kelly still doesn't sit right with me.

Fast forward to today, and the Conservatives have no credible opposition. Labour with their 3 pronged Marxist attack, or a Lib Dem party who will rip up the wishes of the majority that voted in the referendum, without so much as a blink of an eye, never mind debating the merits of doing so.

I would like to see a Conservative pact with the Brexit party and storm to victory, and let Boris get on with running the country, and Farage assisting in finally getting us out of the EU

 

Your first sentence says it all Idle. This country is in a mess, pretty much all of it down to the sheer ineptitude of both sides of the house. Brexit has wrongly been used by some as the catalyst for this when in truth Brexit is a byproduct of their incompetence. lack of investment, particularly in the north of England, has left thousands of disenfranchised voters looking at their towns/cities/communities dying a slow painful death. In all truth voting brexit probably won't change this but it was the massive wake up call this country needed, politicians continually talk the talk but when it comes to walking the walk constantly achieve nothing.
Blair was essentially a tory in labour clothing. Had some good ideas like investing in schools and hospitals, unfortunately we will still be paying for it for years to come. The Iraq war showed his true colours though, i guess when they find the 'weapons of mass destruction' they'll find Sheargar and Lord Lucan as well. And Dr Kelly was collateral damage. But give the bloke credit, he plays the game well, a fortune going upwards of £100 million testament to a man who knows how to play the system. A mini Donald Trump if you like.
As for the Lib Dems, they are as relevant to politics as Michael Collins was to football league management and should be consigned to the wheely bin.

 

If attending a wreath laying ceremony for the scum responsible for the Munich Olympics massacre isnt sympathising with terrorists, I dont know what it is.

 

It has nothing to do with envy or jealousy Tony, calling people on the left envious if they're poor and hypocritical if they're not poor is a trope that needs to be put to bed. It's about wanting to live in a society that prioritizes taking care of the basic needs of the people who are struggling over lining the bank vaults of the ultra rich. What's your issue with that?

 

It's ridiculous though. All the major parties these days spend more on smear campaigns than they do on telling us what they can actually do well.

They try to make themselves appear better by making everyone else appear worse instead of focusing on actually improving themselves.

It's no wonder there's a rapidly growing band of people like myself that believe the whole bloody lot of them are unelectable!

 

Every billionaire is a policy failure. I wouldn’t contest that their money has been acquired legally, but nobody ‘earns’ a billion pounds. It’s impossible.

There’s simply no way of becoming a billionaire without rank exploitation of some kind or another. You can be the hardest working person on this planet and billionaires are taking the piss out of you. Billionaires are not the ones creating jobs. Why would they care about somebody working for them other than as a unit of labour? Why would they reward anybody else’s endeavour? That’s not how you acquire a billion quid.

 

There's one party promising to make actual, tangible changes to the lives of everyday people.

You carry on believing the press that portray the leader as a doddering old 'Marxist' fool though.

 

Yeah that’s absolutely fair enough. It’s a shame there’s no real way in a ballot paper to register discontent. None of the above would capture it, I guess.

 

Tories seem to have forgotten that Thatcher was a terrorist sympathiser and best friends with one General Pinochet.

 

It will soon transpire, once the report on Russian interference in British politics (which the Government is trying to surpress) is published, that it is Johnson who is Putin's pussy, not Corbyn.

 

It’s racism. It’s not hang ‘em up and lynch them racism, nor is it overt in any way, but she’s a prominent politician who receives an outsized degree of flack for anything she says.

As the post preceding mine said, Phil Hammond made a very similar gaff, but that’s not mentioned every time his name is brought up. For context, she received HALF of all abuse aimed at female MPs in 2017. It’s not exactly like we’re short of evidence here.

For balance, the same is true of James Cleverly of the Tory party. When they have a difficult time, people regard them as stupid. When other politicians have a difficult time, we simply indulge them as having argued in bad faith. These politicians aren’t above criticism, but the level of criticism they receive is beyond proportional and of a different nature.

 

Abbott gets the stick because of all the public gaffes she makes, nothing to do with racism!
