True blue tory land mate, sorry. Am just hoping that Labour will get an increased share of the vote, just to show the message is getting through...

The current Mrs PL wouldn't vote for May if you held a gun to her head. Unfortunately "I really like Tim!" is all I've heard fro her for a month...till last night, when she did what Mrs Fish did...and came up with Labour too. A host of "where does Jeremy stand on?.." questions ensued without much consternation. Sadly, I've had to go and get her from work this afternoon as she wasn't well, and now shes lying upstairs in bed having been sick 3 times in the last 90 mins and I've just been told to make the journey to the polling station on my lonesome

He comes across as fairly anti but not daft enough to want us to leave. Which is precisely what I think. He's just being himself, which isn't great, don't get me wrong but ffs (and this isn't a cop out in any way) how many of could properly go into public life knowing we'd have to become some sort of unprincipled wanker and a shadow of our former selves to get anywhere? Am not arguing that he's been treated particularly badly, am not arguing that he was the right man but he's been true to himself. I get that, it's far from what was needed to win this election but let's see what the vote share looks like tomorrow. If it's gone up we'll know that the electorate is open to taxing high earners for the benefit of the country etc. I agree it may all be too late. But Brexit has changed 2015's "catchable" majority. People have been polarised.

In the interview I saw he said " I condemn all acts of terrorism".

Tbf, have either of them ever had a club in the football league?...question is a tiny bit misleading @The Fish yet again....

Hed have just just been nailed for going against his principles by the mail and sun though. You seem to be suggesting that his principles should've been up for grabs just for the sake of power. Which wouldn't have marked him out as different to any other fucker. His greatest strength is also his greatest weakness. He didn't condemn the IRA out of hand, he condemned all acts if political violence. Easy for the twats in the press to spin as being pro terrorist. Any reports that he also sat down with loyalist paramilitaries in the 80s too? Nah. That was acceptable terrorism, to walk into country pubs in the 90s and machine gun everyone to death. Plainly the the wrong man then. You've just got to be a power mad unprincipled charlatan to get the top job. It's pretty much how may has played the last 12 months from being a remainer to being hell bent on getting nothing from Brexit with her empty "am dead ard me like" rhetoric. It's what the country want, they don't want a fairly misguided but fairly decent bean eater to bring a different approach now they've seemingly all been manipulated into thinking Brexit is the cure all for this country's various social ailments. By fuck are they in for a shock 2019-20...

Just returned from delivering some buns to my mate who is a presiding officer at a polling booth today. He's had about half a dozen in so far with the same query: "'ERE MUSH WHERS THA FACKIN UKIP GEEZER EES NOT ON THE SHEET!!"

Signed up for the free 3 month trial (yeah, my middle name is "early adopter" ) and am frankly loving all the free music. Wondering if I cancel at the end of the trial will it all suddenly disappear into the ether?

Thats what I was thinking. It was widely predicted to be a hung parliament then Dimbleby nailed it with the BBC exit poll saying a clear majority for the Tories. Sadly can't se them being that far out this time, think the Tories will even pick up a couple of seats in Scotland, maybe the Middlesbrough seat someone mentioned earlier in the week too.

If you ever get the chance to go to Barbados the Mount Gay distillery is brilliant..

Its all doing me in this time round, think it's the terror attacks and the utter shit that the media are producing about them . For me people have died and the soon to be PM was complicit.Barely a fuckin dickie bird from them. But the fat black lass forgets her lines? Kill her.

Agreed Abbott is never a front bench politician equipped for power, but for fucks sakes answer the fuckin question future "honourable member for south Tyrone " or whatever fuckin tattie field you live on, has the criticism of Abbott in your view been proportional and in perspective? Look at the comparative free ride May is getting over the Libya thing . It seems to be more important for the media to be bullyingly glib and smug on Twitter than it is to investigate the likes of that further.

We're talking about Abbott. Are you thinking of politics as a career with that err "answer"?
-
Do you think the criticism is proportional and in perspective?

Jack Monroe has written 56 tweets today all in support of Dian Abbott. Some are bollocks but some hit the nail on the head as to why she didn't deserve to be driven mad by people in an online world that has no sense of proportion or perspective. I've never tweeted anyone about anything apart from football before but yesterday I was moved to tweet journo Isabel Oakeshot to ask her to do her job of holding the former home secretary to account for the likes of this on her shift: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4540822/Rebels-went-Libya-MI5-blessing-amid-Abedi-probe.html and to stop taking the piss out of someone plainly not up to front bench politics, much like 90% of the Tory cabinet including, on this evidence, May herself. I tried to find the tweet I sent, but it's gone from view. Can the recipient just delete it or have I been blocked?...

Right. Rentons looking well That makes the realeased prisoner Rayvin

what the fuck??!

I think ithe opposite may be the case. JC's half decent showing is winning people over down here in true blue England. Nowhere near enough like, but I think there's a chance Labour's share of the vote will go up over the whole country.

If May increases her majority I think she'll play to the crowd and try to bring in internment in some form.

You're allegedly voting for the best solution to this, stop the corporation tax cut for companies and give it to the police, MI5 and if they're not already involved I'd say increase recruitment into the Army's intelligence corps. If that's not enough, borrow the rest, or justf fuckin print it like QE. Make life for radicalised Moslems in this country extreamly uncomfortable within the confines of present uk law.
