Is May about to call an election?

Can’t post a video from twitter, however the tories have now gone full Trump & promised to “make Britain great again” 😆

They did so in a top secret aircraft hanger in the middle of nowhere to an audience of about 40 party members & some journos…

here

Great again compared to what? The previous years of Tory leadership?
There’s some hard thinking going on.

Great again compared to what? The previous years of Tory leadership?

Delivering salvation from the previous 7 years?
No wonder it was selected invites? 100 people hand up asking why they had made it rubbish in the first place – and WTF does it actually mean Mrs Slogan

I’m going to have a punt on May not being the leader of the Tory party by the weekend

I will take the other side of that. Shall we bet in baked products 😉

The recent polls and news coverge are a fabrication to genetate click-ad revenue. Whether you call 75 seats a landslide I don’t know but its going to be a very clear Tory win. As for the rally photos above clerly Tory voters don’t care for standing around outside with placards, what they do generally care about is actually voting.

The recent polls and news coverge are a fabrication to genetate click-ad revenue.

So you keep saying, how are they different to the ones before the it was called that May commissioned, or the internal ones the tories have commissioned?
Are you questioning the integrity of the mainstream UK Press here or just in denial?
Are you not worried about a leader who appears afraid of people, who can’t answer questions and only speaks in slogans – well like Trump Lite really.

I guess her incompetence leads you closer to a Flounce Brexit.

Boris being roasted on the Today programme. The interviewer even corrected him on Corbyn’s stance on shoot to kill. The worm has truly turned. Even the journalists don’t believe a word they say anymore and are confronting their desperate personal attacks on Corbyn.

Bloody hell he won’t even defend Sadiq Khan in the face of unhinged attacks by Donald Trump. Michelle Hussein just told him to ‘stop talking’ 😀

Even the Daily Hate had a column and a couple of prominent headlines online yesterday night which would normally be unthinkable so close to an election. Knives are out for May already, you can tell Dacre is seriously unimpressed with her performance…
Sorry about the Mail Link…

My mistake – the tory rally I alluded to previously was actually held in a haunted warehouse in the middle of a deserted industrial estate

FML. So I’m now in agreement with The Daily Heil and Pierced Organ?!?!?

The world really has gone loopy

just listened to that on my drive into work. it was painful.

just had me thinking that corbyn really does have the tories rattled. I think they are starting to panic and believe they might actually lose this.

That was one daily heil link I was happy to click on. Piers Morgan man of truth.
I think I might actually hate May more than the tories.
Nasty **** bitch.

It’s because they’re now in a position on security – where they’ve been accusing Corbyn of being weak – where Mays own position as Home Secretary now looks frankly indefensible.

Reducing police numbers by 20,000 has made us safer, has it?

Care to run us through exactly how that works then?

No…. thought not….

Everyone can now see where years of idealogically driven cuts have got us. And it isn’t safer. And she can’t get away with not answering this question, and evading her responsibility for it

Frankie Boyle has a fantastic way of distilling it into one snippet:

Oswald Mosley’s soul trapped in a Furby.

We done this yet? It’s not a spoof! I’m swinging back to the view that they’re trying to deliberately lose, it’s the only possible explanation for this display of rank incompetence.

Boris being roasted on the Today programme

I heard it too and I didn’t think it was as bad as some of the recent car crash stuff….. but it wasn’t proficient either.

They seem to have gone from pushing May / Strong and Stable at every opportunity to realising she is a liability, and have switched focus onto ‘is Corbyn the man you want running the Brexit negotiations / in charge of anti-terror….etc.’ and the more i see of him the more I think actually yes, I think he would be preferable. And certainly more preferable running social care, NHS, and so on. I don’t think Lynton Crosby will be asked back……

Michelle Hussein just told him to ‘stop talking’

and it was the one time he did and it sort of backfired on her (even though it was what we were all thinking) – but i suspect she was going to say something like ‘stop talking about JC/Diane Abbott’ before he very quickly turned it on her.

just had me thinking that corbyn really does have the tories rattled. I think they are starting to panic and believe they might actually lose this.

The few openly tory friends I have on FB had been very quiet on the topic of politics until the past few days, and now they’re all trying to fling IRA-laden dirt about Corbyn to anyone who’ll listen. One (a strong remainer), in a spectacular act of cognitive dissonance was worrying about what a Corbyn win would mean for Brexit in the middle of his anti-Labour rant. It really is all rather amusing.

We done this yet? It’s not a spoof!

Holy Shit!

EDIT: Hang on, there’s more!

although my heart sank a bit when they announced straight after that Diane Abbot was on womens hour later on today. keep an eye out for the car crash interview stories later.

Wow…. is he an actual MP or just somebody who could fit into a stolen suit? Video production done by is grandma?

quick check
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Yorkshire_(UK_Parliament_constituency)
170th on the list of safe tory seats, he could have taken a dump on the video and still been elected. But still the non voters are more than enough to get rid of him 😉

Diane Abbot is ‘ill’ and has been replaced by Thornberry. The labour party are getting quite good at this politics lark I think.

We done this yet? It’s not a spoof! I’m swinging back to the view that they’re trying to deliberately lose, it’s the only possible explanation for this display rank incompetence.

Just seen this.

Chris Morris could not do better.

when they say ‘ill’, do they mean locked in a room away from any form of communication?

It’s a sad indictment of the calibre of British politics that Thornberry is starting to look impressive (comparatively speaking).

We done this yet? It’s not a spoof!

I had to listen to the song 3 times to convince myself I wasn’t being offered caterpillar tea

Holy Shit!

EDIT: Hang on, there’s more!

I preferred his earlier stuff. You know, before he sold out and went all mainstream.

If only Corbyn dumped Abbot, I just can’t see her as part of the government.

Diane Abbot is ‘ill’

pretty sure that would be in the terms of any coalition…

Not sure about his Brexit negotiating strategy though. Could backfire..

He said he would invite the German chancellor to the Emirates stadium to watch his team Arsenal in an effort to develop a friendly relationship. “With Angela Merkel, we can discuss football and Brexit. I want to say to her that I like the German fanbase model [of running football clubs]. Then I’ll invite her to come and watch Arsenal.”

(Guardian)

dazh,

Thanks for that Greg Knight advert. The suit was a work of genius Reminded me of an oversold yet under-flavoured bag of old crisps, cunningly disguised as a human-being. Replete with depressingly Partridge-esque jingle!

Has Corbyn seen what the Germans do to Arsenal?

This election has to be of the lowest quality I remember, both main parties are filled with people who are just hopeless and are actively disliked internally and externally. Heaven help us.

Can I vote for a hung parliament? 😉

I guess it wouldn’t have all been funny, if it wasn’t painfully close to the truth.

This election has to be of the lowest quality I remember

I think it’s probably the way of all future elections. Social media leaps on anything so quickly that populism and soundbites rule. Slurs and innuendo get repeated ad infinitum. At least we’re seeing some realtime fact-checking though.

This election has to be of the lowest quality I remember, both main parties are filled with people who are just hopeless and are actively disliked internally and externally.

A frustrated Tory might say that.

Certainly The Conservatives have been beaten into submission with an out of touch piss-poor media sound biting and vacuous policies.

I’m not saying that will translate into votes.

Can I vote for a hung parliament?

The Mash nails it!

“This election has to be of the lowest quality I remember, both main parties are filled with people who are just hopeless and are actively disliked internally and externally. Heaven help us.”

And it’s just going to get worse – the level of respect we give to people standing for parliament (for all parties) has pretty much reached the level where we feel entitled to abuse them. Couple with this with the systematic abuse and value judgements made by the left on anyone they disagree with and we’re rapidly heading towards a democracy in which people stop talking about politics for fear of retribution.

A perfect example of this is one of our local candidates for the election – she told me that earlier in the day she’d knocked on the door to a house to be answered by an 8 year old girl. The mum called from the kitchen to ask who it was and when the candidate replied “hello I’m your local candidate” received a torrent of abuse from the kitchen. When the mum finally came to the door her 8 year old daughter told her “but mummy that’s Amelia from School’s mum”.

I can’t see any sane person would put themselves forward for office moving forward – we’ll just be left with the dross who have never done anything and can’t do any more than talk sound bites and simplistic contradictory responses to complex problems – Dianne Abbott is probably the best example of this at present but I’m sure there are many more in all 3 main parties.

That mash link – “Keep the reins of power well away from the **** lot of them.” laughing out loud at that one.

Just heard a bit of Johnson, no car crash but good to see him called on his lie about what Corbyn actually said re:shoot to kill,. What’s the betting he goes in to repeat the lie in his next interview though,I expect the Tories will ramp up the fibbing as we near the finish..

It will work on some, look at those bitter old nukefans on the debate.

Sad the Tories will win, but they’ll have dragged themselves through the mud to get there. May is diminished, she’s lost a lot of respect, even if she did get her landslide of 150 100 75, strong & stable May is now a joke and her political epitath

And it’s just going to get worse – the level of respect we give to people standing for parliament (for all parties) has pretty much reached the level where we feel entitled to abuse them.

the left in particular? I’m guessing we can remove the Mail, Express, Sun etc. from the list of people keen to talk policy?

Personally I’d with we could get on with policy discussions, honest ones where MP’s and candidates are held up to account. Where live fact checking during interviews is the norm, where they could be presented with the words they are trying to manipulate from other candidates – see Borris this morning for example, finally picked up on endless misquoting.

I want both sides to be soundly checked and asked hard questions, be made to explain beyond slogans – what does red white and blue brexit mean?

Respect is earned.
