🤪 2019 General Election Discussion :gov:

Perhaps he was just replying to himself? Yep, I agree saintbletch - probably just commenting on his own comment. I agree saintbletch that’s spot on.

Sat in a Wetherspoons on the Isle of Wight.

What have I missed with Andrew Neil?

Has he stolen Corby’s kidneys?

Couldn’t be arsed to edit the first one

No, he is a far right, Zionist Rothschild sponsored Tory noshing hypocrite - until he puts Boris to the sword and then he will be a razor sharp interviewer getting to the crux of the important issues

Or something like that

It’s been the headlines all day today. Thing is, it’s not working any more, most people are pissed off with it, just yawn now when the latest 'Corbyn is an anti semite is rolled out. The Israel firsters have jumped the shark with this one. The Chief Rabbi is a personal friend of Johnson, went into raptures when he got the Tory leadership. Labour show gains in the polls - roll out an anti semitism story. And as for the idea that Corbyn could have killed this off years ago, no chance. The only way Corbyn can kill this off is to publicly renounce his support for Palestinian human rights, if he did that, anti semitism in the Labour Party would miraculously disappear overnight. But that aint going to happen. Let’s hope Andrew Neill asks Johnson four times to apologize for his on the record racist and homophobic remarks. Somehow i doubt if he will though. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to see Johnson throw a sickie and bottle out.

One of my more right wingy mates is not voting at all. He’d never vote for the Tories whilst Johnson is leader and Ukip / Brexit aren’t running candidates in his area.

To be fair to Andrew Neil, he usually does grill both sides. And yes, I know he leans Tory.

Interesting read

The piece on air quality is interesting as I work in breathing distance of the ships

Apparently there are Very few places worldwide where cruise ships can plug in to the grid and therefore shut down their engines

I believe ABP are in the process of installing one in one of the cruise berths. Apparently the big problem is that the local electric infrastructure cannot handle anymore.

Most of the cruise ships have the capability

Annoying things we’ll see next month…

Rees-Mogg, currently locked in a fucking shed to prevent the voters hearing his thoughts on how poor people died because of their own stupidity.
But the day after the election he’ll be out there in the front of the photos, arms high, fists clenched, bare-chested, celebrating HIS great victory.
The posh John Terry of politics.

Sitting here on the outside, with no ā€œconstituencyā€ to be involved in I must admit I still find it impossible to choose any party to vote for even if I could.
It is sad that my political beliefs are now reduced to a single focus where I would vote with the intention of keeping Boris out.
Not for any actual Tory policies ( what little there are) but because the person is an embarrassing clown/dangerous puppet.

Most power generation on ships is greener than that produced by coal or gas fired power stations in the UK. you are correct that it is probably a few American ports that have the infrastructure to Plug in although the QE 2 berthed in Dubai is permanently plugged in.
The Power supply cables from the National grid to the docks would all have to be replaced with much larger cables and breakers to allow these monstrous floating hotels to plug in. or you are risking Southampton going dark when a passenger plugs her hair drier into the socket before she goes to the Captains ball.

I very much feel this way!

My constituency is Tory through and through and I doubt if there is enough groundswell support for the Lib Dems to oust the current MP, forget voting Labour as that would just be a waste. So what to do? Vote for the Lib Dems and run the risk of Swinson getting some power or spoil the ballot paper?

BTW every time I see BoJo on the telly I am reminded of Matt Lucas, has anyone seen him recently?

Swinson will be out of a job in two weeks. No need to worry about her.

That’s good enough Phil. :lou_lol:

Think he is currently in Les Mis.
