Blah Blah Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Farage is an opportunist charlatan with a complete disregard for electoral funding law. And in spite of never having himself been an MP, has caused more chaos in Parliament than any politician in living memory. A truly self serving snake oil salesman of the worst kind. As to voting, in spite of being a Labour voter, I felt I could not vote for a party that isn't advocating for a 2nd ref, so I used my postal vote to vote Change UK. I also know I am not the only Labour voter jumping ship on this one.

But like I said I won't be surprised if he gets jail time.?An attack like this is an attack on the democratic process?, she said. ?The impact on Jeremy Corbyn has been considerable, he says he was very shocked and surprised and he had always previously felt safe.?'The judge said the Labour leader was ?particularly vulnerable? due to his high-profile political role, adding that CCTV of the attack showed the ?level of aggression? from Murphy. '?Mr Corbyn wouldn?t have been able to anticipate being hit, or that the assault would stop after one hit??Attacks on MPs must stop, of whatever type, with an egg or in any other way. The message needs to go out that the courts will not allow this to continue.?

diable rouge Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I've decided I'm going to ignore the advice of any pro-EU tactical voting sites. Firstly the polls are all over the place, thus not convinced that any advice will be accurate enough.Also, what advice I have seen for London says that the Lib Dems and Greens have comfortably enough votes to secure seats, but in order to take a seat away from the BP, there's a better chance of doing that by voting for Change UK. Fine, but what if too many people switch to Change, isn't there a danger of undermining the so-called secure seats?Because the Remain vote is going to be split regardless, I think this vote is more to do with votes cast in total rather than actual seats gained, as people will inevitably tot up the pro and anti Brexit votes. So I'm going to stick with my initial thought that I'll vote for the Lib Dems, they have been consistently anti-Brexit, and they also have the best chance of finishing above Labour and thereby giving Corbyn and his Lexiter cabal a bloody nose. With a bit of luck May won't be the only leader getting the spanish fiddler this summer...

It is not Remainers' fault if, 3 years after the referendum, Brexiters still cannot agree on what leave is to mean! Is it hard Brexit? Norway? Canada? Switzerland? May's deal? BRINO (Brexit in name only)?In fact, the option which did win the majority was to remain! If 48 people want water, 26 want beer and 26 want wine, yes, a majority wants some booze, but they can't agree what booze, and the option with the majority is, in fact, water!!!
