Strong and stable
Also the daily mail and the s*n are scummy newspapers. I can't stand the tory bias in this country it really pisses me off tbh. Rupert Murdoch can go do one.

Tory 'strong and stable' advertising van overturns in the wind

Shame the photo is shit, but still...The fact people vote for these Tories means I don't have to feel sorry for them when inevitably they get hit hard. I will just shake my head and despair at their naivety.
It's a nice gentle downward trajectory to protect our ageing knees.
Express front page:
This isn't real. No way.
Another condescending left-wing post, well done.
Seriously Jippy, those papers are fecking shambles.
Oh yeah, I was having a dig at the DM front page myself, but I don't like the patronising left wing bollocks some are spouting. I'm voting Labour, but certainly don't see myself in the same camp as many Labour voters in here #voteonnimbyissues
Um, what do you want me to say? That May is the best thing since sliced bread?
I am not blind nor am I deluded. I would serve my interest if people voted Tory but I cannot agree with such a level of incompetence.
It's one thing being nasty, it's completely different if you are a clueless slogan-throwing liar such as May. Btw, I've hated her guts since I first saw her on TV.
Corbyn is no idol of mine but she's a calamity. But don't take my word for it, just wait for her Strong and Stable No Deal which is better than a Bad Deal.
I'm more amazed that the Daily Sport still exists, than the fact that some people may actually believe it's bollox.Nah, I get that. The media have pissed me right off this time round, it's been a farce.
I don't care for her either and she is the main reason, among others, that for the first time I aren't voting Tory in a GE. I don't care for Corbyn either.
I just don't get your patronising head shaking or not 'feeling sorry for them'. It's very self-righteous and pompous. My wife and I are actually both voting Labour, even though his income tax proposals will mean she is taxed to death even more. The prospect of McDonell as chancellor fills me with dread though.
I was about to say it has been a whole new level of bad, but then I just remembered the Sun having to apologise for its 'asylum-seekers eating swans' story in the run up to Brexit. Does feel like the media has been that politicised over the last 2-3 years to the extent it is embarrassing. I have an FT subscription through work and find that I am reading that far, far more than I ever used to.
Well, it might sound patronising but it is what is going to happen. It's not my fault others can't see it.
For example, if you need the NHS and the Tories cut funding, you suffer. Then why vote for them? Because most of the press is telling you to vote for them through quite obvious scaremongering and/or lies.
Corbyn and his team are by no means an alternative but it's because he can't win that people should vote for him. A hung parliament might provide some nice balance.
The Tories and Labour both have their areas of expertise and ideally they would combine them for the best of the country. The problem is that the UK and its voting system does not allow for compromise and coalitions which usually tend to work out better than people thought of them at the time.

Has the British public ever voted against his position?
Based on the number of working class voters I've got on my Facebook who seem to be voting Tory this time I'm sure it will be somewhat of a massacre
The Sun always backs the winner in a GE because it basically determines it. The power of the press in this country is obscene and given who owns these papers, it makes me feel sick.

They watch opinion polling closely and make sure they're on the most likely winning side. They then go full propaganda to make sure. I'd love to see them look like cnuts this time*.
*Obviously they always look like cnuts anyway, but losing cnuts would be nice.
I'm a labour voter as you know, i just wanted to say that it's Diane Abbott who fills me with dread.
Should the very unlikely happen and Labour win there is simply no way that she can be any part of any cabinet.
So all headlines: https://twitter.com/i/moments/872214579086053376

City A.M.: PM: I'll rip up human rights if it helps to stop terrorism (also: Abbott is latest victim of email prankster as poll points to Tory win)
Metro: May vows she'll tear up human rights law
FT: May targets opposition heartlands as security questions dog final poll push
The Independent: Corbyn's right: wars provoke terror, say voters
Morning Star: Rail staff anger over Tories' fake praise
The Herald (Scotland): Sturgeon referendum bombshell
The National (Scotland): 'Kezia told me Labour would back IndyRef2 after Brexit vote'

Jezza has come around to that point of view too, I think.
It's probably too late though, the papers are going to go full throttle on corbyn for the next day and a half.
He is visiting marginals later today though, hopefully he can pull in the crowds again and swing a couple of seats. I think Labour has a very good chance of reclaiming most of wales, a couple of swings from the snp without tory gains in scotland and the upset could well happen.
whatever happens, its very encouraging to have so many young people engaged in the political process.
You've missed out the fact that the Times and the Tel are leading on 'I will be a terrorist' re the Italian London Bridge guy. Not all of these articles are splashes, some are second or third stories tbf. It also omits the big Labour rags, such as the Mirror and Indie. The May human rights stuff is hardly positive reporting on her, I'd argue too.
My 8-1 bet on a hung parliament is looking half-decent. It's now 7-2 on Hills.
Yeah headlines was the wrong word. Meant to say "front pages" like I did the other times, and only election related as this is the election thread.
Indie is there. Mirror isn't but that is because Neil Henderson didn't share it. Just looked at it and it isn't anything exciting.
Not trying to "prove" anything one way or another with the posts, just that some may be interested in the paper reactions to the debates and now with it being the day before the election it is one of the last opportunities the papers will have to make their case.
My local newspaper: 'Peace in our time, says Chamberlain'
Not having a pop and yep sorry, missed the Indie. You're right though, reporting restrictions kick in on Thursday, so papers have to be very careful on election coverage and this is their last real hurrah.
just shocked they havn't accused him of kiling Diana yet!Express front page:
'Man finds image of Lynne Wood in burnt crumpet.'
Here's The Mirror:
I don't think it was the best design decision to have a big picture of Jezza above the words "I'm going to be a terrorist" but hey ho.

the man speaks from his heart.
I hope he gets the chance to form the new government.

This popped is one of many simlar Memes( or what ever the kids are calling them) on my facebook feed over the past few weeks, they just make me laught, as my elderly relatives are a lot better off then me and are all voting tory....... in fact i don't know anyone over 65 who isn't voting tory!
so while i will not be voting tory, a slogan telling me not to vote tory to help pensioners when most of that demographic are voting tory seems mental to me!

This is one of the rags supporting him...I love a bad juxtapostion in a paper.
OK, enough now...
Do you actually believe all of this shitty 'meme'? As an apparent Labour supporter, do you agree that the multi-billionaire major Brexit donor Peter Hargreaves deserves a winter fuel payment?

The aaaaah one
Wonder if the people sharing it can actually explain what the triple lock is, and how downgrading it to a double lock will affect pension increases.
