People fall for anything these days. Who'd believe that an extreme left IRA/Hamas/Munich terrorist supporter could even get this far. And if that wasn't insane enough, an economic plan that makes no sense to anybody with ten fingers.


Fearless sounds like fear has got the better of him.

With some of you returning approval figures in the 80% range, feeling comfortable about your eventual choice must be fairly easy.

I reckon nearly everyone will get at least 75 with one party.

You're a bit of a mongrel when it comes to views, Nick.

Its a bit silly though isnt it, how can I have 81% Lib Dem, 80% Labour. They aren't similar

It also helps when you have a great leader - a la Sturgeon

Will be different policies though - and of course they have broadly common ground for a few things.

Seems about right.
 
Emma Barnett was very clever (and underhand) in using the opportunity, when Corbyn was trying to find the costings, to stick in the barbed reference to Gordon Brown.

Corbyn: "Can I give you the exact figure in a moment?"
Barnett: "Is this not exactly the issue with people and the Labour Party which came up under Gordon Brown that we cannot trust you with our money?"

That's a cheap shot right there. The guy hadn't memorised the figure, which she had already been given earlier by Angela Rayner. The issue, as Emma well knew, was that Corbyn hadn't memorised the figure. That was it. Nothing about the rights or wrongs of the policy and how it would effect the lives of the Womens Hour audience. She made it an issue about memory to throw Corbyn off balance and took the opportunity to get into the audience's mind, almost subliminally, her own message - that Labour are not to be trusted with our money.



Well, they aren't, that has always been quite clear.
 
Well... that her father is a much, much bigger cnut. It's a shame the emails between him and Emma weren't published.
Lots of our dads are and I doubt we'd come out too well if our emails were published.

It has nothing to do with her career.

Clearly not, maybe you just consider yourself a dignified loon instead?

Evidently not. Seems there's a lot you agree with them on.

fecking hell! Her father was directly involved in human trafficking and running brothels and exchanged emails with her about his whores - and now she's fronting Woman's Hour on BBC. You think that's OK?!
 
bored at work so did every question

I could never vote Tory and UKIP, in the poll above I selected green even though I normally spoil my vote but may vote Labour as Corbyn has impressed me, I still think if he got rid of Diane Abbott he'd get a load more vote.

Why do you normally spoil your vote, and why specifically Abbott?

I think her dad's crimes are none of our business, given she's not her dad, and I think given we know absolutely nothing about her emails, and rightly so, it's infantile to use them as some hypothetical evidence of her immorality.

Honestly, if you think this is some feminist point you're making here, I despair.

In the Mail article she writes about being totally ignorant of his criminal activities until he was on his way to prison. The MEN article mentioned emails exchanged with her father talking about his whores. You believe her?

I'm sorry. I'm done with this. I find it thoroughly unsavoury and I'm liable to get over-emotional if we continue.

no interest in any of the main parties, live in an area with a massive Tory majority which has been Tory / Unionist for about 100 years.

Abbott I find her to be the worst type of London Labour, intelligent no doubt, but she comes across as condescending with an air of a superiority complex and she continually fecks up in interviews, I just don't like her, same with McDonnell, find him an odious arse.
 
Alright. feck off then.
Honestly, I'd said what I had to say. There's no point me carrying on and ending up throwing more insults at you. I'd just bore people who want to chat about other things, as I'm sure I'm doing right now.
