The 2017 Election Thread

Polls are shit. I think they’re probably closer than that.

May isn’t really helping herself on the strong and stable front.

Accuses other EU peeps of trying to influence an election that she called herself.

She literally has no policy. Lynton Crosby’s Project Fear all over again. Worked before, I suppose. Crosby didn’t run the Remain campaign.

Yeah, said it a couple of years ago on the Tory thread when I said we had to keep May away from being PM as she’s too far on the right. That’s why I’m not voting Conservative at this election.

However, what she is doing here is playing to the Brexiters, as they love a bit of criticism of the EU. It’s also to say that we need someone who will negotiate hard with the EU, not someone who will bend over and take it up the bum, like Corbyn. It’s another ploy for votes, that’s all.

Polls is still shit, whether it’s for or against Labour.

See the Tories are now backtracking on proposed changes to the school funding formula so no schools lose out.

Would have been railroaded through if there wasn’t an election coming up.

Funny that…

Self serving cunts who 'd sell their granny if there was a vote in it.

Not saying that Corbyn will take it up the bum but who says taking it up the bum is a bad strategy?

What is the bumming in this case?

Maybe the EU have got a thing about bumming and maybe we don’t mind it so much either but maybe if we let them take us up the bum, they’ll let us Manhattan powdered donut them afterwards or whatever it is we like doing.

Bumming is legitimate strategy in my book. If someone offered me their bum and I was into bums I would probably feel obligation to pay them or something afterwards. How do you know corbyn won’t capitalise on that?

Never thought Labour were 21 points behind to begin with. The swings in recent by-elections didn’t support it.

I honestly think May is making a series of unforced errors. It’s a career trait. This born again Brexiter voted for both Maastricht and Lisbon and campaigned for Remain before the referendum.

She has a history of not getting on with people. She is trying to sell her “bloody difficult woman” tag (donated to her by arch-Remainer Ken Clarke) as a positive. It’s actually becoming a liability on every front.

Bumming is old hat, dp with rampant rabbit and fingers down throat to gag is more on the ball for todays appetite.

This is why you can never reveal yourself to your Cantell co-schoolies.

Grandmas would be privatised under the Tories.

Sold to Richard Branson.

Virgin Grandmas.

Work that one out.

Ah Richard Branson, the tax exile.

Is that your fantasy Brexit negotiation scenario Barry? Richard Branson gagging on your rampant rabbit with corbyn watching from across the room while Merkel and jean Claude juncker take turns giving it to him?

Quoting bazza now makes them multiply, like getting gremlins wet :lou_surprised:

In a way but actually its more the embarrassment of admitting to people in real life that I read the opinions and contribute to the discussions of a bunch of spazzes on the internet fullstop.

Was that the sort of campaigning that involves hiding until it’s all over?

Yeah, essentially what she’s doing now. Her recent break with her pro-European past does not suggest stability. Calling an election because you can’t handle opposition and you think your biggest opponent is already lying bleeding on the ground doesn’t sound particularly strong.

To repeat advice Bill Hicks once gave, try your theory from the ground first, not the top of a tall building.
