What sort of lead might take us into hung parliament territory? Earlier this month a Conservative source told The Sunday Times: “If you’re in the seven to 10 range it’s squeaky bum time.”

Out of all the parties they send the most.

Labour around here. This morning I had the 5th brouchure to go with the two personal letters from ‘our prospective candidate’

It’s one in the recycling bin with the Tory “We’ll deliver Brexit” threat I got this morning.

Hulk hide behind daddy!

Interesting comments from Boris’ dad today, and the level of contempt he has towards the British public.

Quick spelling test in the taxi household got 3 out if 4 spelling Pinocchio correctly. No prizes for guessing who got it wrong 😳😳

Joanna Gosling: "One of our viewers called your son Pinocchio."

Stanley Johnson: "That requires a degree of literacy which I think the great British public doesn't necessarily have. They couldn't spell Pinocchio if they tried."

It's ok Stan, they only need to put an X in a box.

FFS if all these TV election debate (now on BBC) keep going on about climate emergency (we know we know so stop repeating it) I am going to spit into their mouths. 😒

Edit: Tosser is only looking for a reaction.

Not going to deny the climate change topic but I rather they debate about other details like how they propose to generate more business and create more jobs.

Regardless of the political parties if they cannot create jobs they will Not be elected, simple as.

These politicians (all of them and especially those in govt) have been taking people for the ride.

No wonder this country is going backward if these are the calibre of politicians people have to choose from.

Same faces all the time and yet unashamedly put on the same spin again and again.

p/s: if you want to reduce climate change then stop or drastically reduce consumption. Exporting plastic rubbish to the 3rd world etc … did anyone of them even prevent that until recently? This has been going for years!

Yep get over it

bookmakers are another (and usually a better place to look)

Bookmakers odds don’t reflect the probability of something happening, they reflect the bookies’ exposure. So if something is improbable but loads of people are betting on it anyway, they shorten the odds so that if it happens they don’t have to pay out millions.

Well, you can open up wide and let him spit in your mouths then. I’d rather not have to read about it.

The treatment of chewkw on here is appalling, it’s basically bullying. Remember in school when everyone joined in mocking the dorky kid? That’s what’s happening here. If you don’t want to read his posts then don’t read them. It’s easy. There’s no need to loudly proclaim over and over again about how hard it is for you have to see his content on your screen (even though his last post is entirely reasonable and quite right). The forum is not under any obligation to provide you with curated content specially for you, they don’t have to shut out anyone who isn’t your mates.

Act like a grownup for goodness’ sake.

Stupid People that voted to leave the EU…how dare you insult their intelligence.

Stupid people that vote Tory…meh, they get what they deserve.

Thick politicians, thick voters, it’s a destructive cycle. It will change when people stop allowing themselves to be manipulated by the media and politicians with nefarious intentions.

It won’t be changing then will it. People don’t choose to be of lower intelligence, people don’t choose to have a low competence in analysis of what people are saying and what would actually be best for them.
Politicians should be above abusing that fact and that if anything is what has changed for the worse over the last 5 years.

Edit: Tosser is only looking for a reaction.

Get the Killfile. It’ll filter out tossers and non-sequiturs.

…learning how the media works and how it tries to manipulate you is an essential skill for the modern age.

Absolutely this. Few people understand the difference between opinion and fact and editorial bias. We’re seeing deliberate manipulation of people in such a way so that they willingly accept policies that are detrimental to their communities, wellbeing and public services.

Civics should be a curriculum topic too.

molgrips, PJM. As a sometime Media Studies teacher I’ve been printing the subject as needing to be on the core curriculum for about the last 10 years.

So far, I’ve had no reaction that suggests many in education see it as in any way important to helping people function in today’s society…
