    But what do you think?

    Brainwashed by the right wing press like many in this country, sad to see really.

    Quoting Richard littleJohn and being serious is the sure sign of a simple arse hole of a man.

    Not much of a critique though, is it? Just typical cartoonish hyperbole from a right wing pen for hire.

    For some poor sods the Dickensian wasteland does exist. Relying on food banks in Tory Britain. Homeless in Tory Britain.The Tories do not care.

    Ah, so you took the time to read the names at the top of each post yet didn’t read the posts, I swerve threads that don’t interest me, still each to his own.

    The Brexit Party’s manifesto will be simple one, ‘Leave’ on the back of a fag packet.

    I have to say that enjoy reading people's political posts when they aren't just expletives hurled at those of a different persuasion. Such exchanges add absolutely nothing to the debate.

    Forget about the Punch and Judy Show in the Commons because it's a charade. Bar for minor cosmetic differences the red, blue and amber teams are merely hand puppets for private bankers, multinational companies and major landowners who employ lobbyists to get what they want. MPs have a higher calling than to them though, that's to themselves as self-enrichment is their number one priority.

    It matters not a jot who anyone votes for in General Elections because whatever the the outcome it results in the same thing: more laws, less liberties; more surveillance, less privacy; more taxes, less disposable income; more societal decay, less cohesiveness; and more state dependency, less independence as the middle class continues to be eviscerated while the West's former wealth flows East to China and elsewhere at an accelerating rate.

    The pragmatic turn out to place an X next to a candidate who they believe represent the least worse option and what will be ever so slightly better for them and absent of any emotion attached to the bunk surrounding the uncaring Tories/fluffy Labour false paradigm pantomime stuff.

    Are you sure your pal wasn't referring to Littlejohn? The trouble with stuff like this is that it reads like "you think it's been shit for the last nine years, but, but, but you wait, you wait if the other lot get in".

    I've no great faith in Corbyn or his party these days, but I do know that the people in charge of us since 2010 have made people's lives worse, put narrow party interests before that of the country, showed horrendous political judgement and don't give me any of that stuff about 2008 being a Labour created crisis - it was a world event and anyway, the Conservatives backed all of the measures Labour took to deal with the immediate aftermath of the crash at the time.

    From where I'm sitting, Labour is one of a few options that look preferable to what we have at present.

    But remember Bob, they're all a bunch of terrorist supporting Communists who'll take all your money and give it to disabled black lesbians! Or whoever it is the Daily Mail hate this week

    Traditional Labour was a left wing Socialist party, im surprised somebody from Tydfil doesn't know that because of Keir Hardie, its the Red Tories that should be expelled from the Labour party and Clause four should be reinstated, old Labour folk will be turning in their graves at what Labour has become.

    It's unbelievable that years after the chaos with miliband campaign, with all that's happened, they are still pushing this.

    I don't like the labour front bench, I think they've been awful. But please, spare us the "you don't want them running things" act when the Tories are a hair's breadth from breaking up the UK.

Hypothetically speaking had Corbyn, not Blair been Prime Minister perhaps there wouldn’t have been so many grieving relatives of British soldiers. Corbyn stuck to his beliefs, didn’t piss off and form another party like other shithouses have who couldn’t get their own way. He toughed it out, stuck to his beliefs and eventually became leader. Only thing I’d pull him up on is his reluctance to back ‘Remain’ 100%, which pisses me off.
    Did he talk to the SDLP and Loyalists as well?

    I would have expected our Government to have some sort of system to speak to the IRA. That is what Governments do.

    What? No one jumping in to defend Jeremy of Arc, for his selfless work in saving Ulster

    Not even to call me a Tory whatsit or (worst of all........A Daily Mail reader!!!
