I wonder if Boyd Clack has High HopesQuote:

Last election it saw Boris and JC in the areas and other big hitters , giving speeches etc ,not this time ,unless I missed it ?.
Its as if this is all down to Brexit , the seat is remain it also has a high density of public sector workers,maybe that will reflect on the vote,it was always deemed a marginal ??
Safe Labour seat, Kevin Brennan has been MP since 2001 and has a majority of 12,551. Only gone Tory once and that was down to the incumbent Labour MP (George Thomas) stepping down and Thatcher's landslide, it went back to Labour at the next election. Its fairly close between Labour and Plaid in the assembly but not at all in Westminster
Cardiff North and Cardiff West aren't really that similar. Cardiff North is a lot more affluent than Cardiff West and is historically a Tory seat, although it went Labour at the last election I think its projected to go Conservative this time aroundQuote:

I've had paper flyers from the Tories, Labour and the Brexit party, I'm reporting all three parties to Greta for pointless waste.
Nah it will be Labour Anna is liked and appeals Mo Ali may not tick the boxes .Quote:

I know nothing about him other than he's a Labour MP for a Cardiff seat. I concluded long ago that all MPs of every gender and political persuasion were in it for themselves above everything else. Second in their estimation is their family, friends, mistresses, etc, who they employ as their staff who are also gorging on the same public teat.Quote:

You've never met anyone who has taken a pay cut? You must move in small circles.Quote:

Which is not the same thing at all.Quote:

I respectfully disagree with your first line. There's legions of public sector employees who went years and years with no or paltry pay rises who effectively had their pay cut in real terms throughout that period.
So why did you say "I don't know anyone who has taken a pay cut", if you're counting that as a pay cut?Quote:

Ah today’s Daily Mail input from LOM.
Basically you’re trying to say that us Labour voters in this area are some sort of Metropolitan Elite latte drinkers laughing in the face of the plucky working class whilst voting remain.
At least have the bollocks to admit you’re a Tory and spare us the laughable balance bollocks.
Actually keep it going, your fawning over WB and Ronnie is hilarious.
[QUOTE=CardiffIrish2;5028863]So two years and 10k posts into an expensive course of therapy and then you point out that someone adopting a personna of combative alternativism to be seen as unpredictable actually results in them becoming completely predictable. Shame on you CI2Quote:
