Subject: RE: BS: UK General election December 12 2019 From: Dave the Gnome Date: 08 Dec 19 - 07:34 AM I wonder if Bozzer is going to pay for the 40 imaginary hospitals with the £350 million pounds a week he promised to save? I guess we will never know as he has not got the guts to stand up to the kind of questioning that the BBC reserve for Labour politicians. Why anyone would vote for a man with no integrity, no courage and no redeeming features is beyond me. I suppose he is the pinnacle of their aspirations. |
Subject: RE: BS: UK General election December 12 2019 From: Iains Date: 08 Dec 19 - 07:16 AM Oh Dear! Back to the Ad hominem attacks again. Andrew Marr asked the Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell: “You were here a little over a month ago and you were saying your manifesto, unlike many of the others, would be fully-costed. Sadly, that is not true. Is it? “You announced that you were going to give £58billion to WASPI women. Where is that money coming from?” More of labour in the dreamtime....... with the result of putting the economy in a nightmare. There is a weary sense of déjà vu here. One thing Labour can always be relied on for is the destruction of the economy. A bit of a sorry legacy! I assume anyone that votes labour has undergone a frontal lobotomy, or have totally lost the power of reason. |

Subject: RE: BS: UK General election December 12 2019 From: Dave the Gnome Date: 08 Dec 19 - 06:05 AM Are bullies anything like Bullingdon boys Bonzo? You know, the ones who burn tenners in front of homeless people or stick their dicks in pigs mouths? Or are they more like the ones who force disabled people to work at inappropriate jobs or starve to death? Or maybe the uncaring, unfeeling government that turns a blind eye to food banks and rampant poverty? I'll take my chance with the "lefties" who care more about poor people than the rich and powerful anyday. If taking money off the best paid to give to the poorest is being a "lefty bully", then count me in! |

Subject: RE: BS: UK General election December 12 2019 From: Steve Shaw Date: 08 Dec 19 - 05:13 AM The failure to challenge his incessant lies by BBC interviewers and chairs of debates is utterly shameful. Every lie should be challenged every time before he's allowed to move on. If this is not happening it's setting a terrible precedent for out future political discourse. |
Subject: RE: BS: UK General election December 12 2019 From: DMcG Date: 08 Dec 19 - 05:08 AM I was recently discussing one of the many Johnson promises, and the failings of the media to challenge him. There is a lot of amusement in the press that this 50,000 more nurses includes 18,000 who are already employed. That is a fair point. But no-one raises the fact that currently there are 43,000 unfilled nursing positions. So his grand plan, if it completely fulfils its objectives, aims to leave us still some 11,000 nurses short. And that is without building a single new hospital, which will presumably require some nurses. |
Subject: RE: BS: UK General election December 12 2019 From: Dave the Gnome Date: 08 Dec 19 - 04:15 AM No probs, John. Always worth reminding people that the appellation was created by his own peers rather than his enemies as well. I suppose it could be deemed a term of endearment if it wasn't applied to someone who really does think he can get away with lying through his teeth every time he opens his mouth. |

My opinions and suspicions may be absolutely correct, but without facts I have no case to make to any official bodies.. Hopefully though, others with the same suspicions do have vital evidence and can make an official complaint... However, lack of evidence never stops tories making up false allegations in the media about Corbyn and Labour intentions...!!!

How many thousands of squeals have we been subjected to on this forum alone? But - Chin up!hopefully the polls are correct and Boris can continue the Magnum Opus with a spiffing majority.

Subject: RE: BS: UK General election December 12 2019 From: DMcG Date: 07 Dec 19 - 03:59 AM Leaving the wild interpretations aside, the YouGov polpls show that the results are within the margin of error. So the only honest response is that the poll is too close to call. As with all polls, the figures are weighted to represent as best they can the wider population, rather than the people interviewed. It is not clear whether the weighting is based on the whole population or their prediction of how many will vote. However, looking at the age ranges most were barely weighted at all, but the youth vote was significantly weighted against. It is by no means clear this is a good representation. People need to look at such things before leaping in with "what the polls show." |
Subject: RE: BS: UK General election December 12 2019 From: Iains Date: 07 Dec 19 - 02:22 AM polling suggests tovarisch Compo had a royal rogering during the debate.

Subject: RE: BS: UK General election December 12 2019 From: Steve Shaw Date: 06 Dec 19 - 04:51 PM Well the telly "debate" was a bloody travesty. Nick Robinson (arch-Tory, former chairman of the Young Conservatives), allowed Johnson to get away with lie after blustering bullying lie, completely uninterrupted. An honest-to-goodness chair would have pulled him up every time he told an established lie, but he didn't do it even once. Corbyn made his case well but without the passion and spin that seems crucial in these populist times. The BBC, which I've always supported unstintingly, has behaved shambolically during this campaign. A bloody disgrace. As if we need a failure of neutrality when all the press big guns are as far right as they've ever been. Democracy in decline if we're not vigilant. |
Subject: RE: BS: UK General election December 12 2019 From: Iains Date: 06 Dec 19 - 03:26 PM Perhaps the gnome should give the complete story concerning Boris: "Boris Johnson forced to cancel election speech on police advice as protestors mass" To quote the gnome:"Donuel, as I am sure you are aware, there are lies, truth and many things in between. These include only telling part of the story," A typical lefty, so as I say, not as I do TSK Tsk! Bliar blair guilty of agism Tony Blair takes outrageous swipe at older Brexiteers 'The young have the beating pulse' This is the same labour pm who initiated privatisation of part of the NHB.

I have long since decided that anyone involved in such dishonesty is far better ignored. Far be it from me to tell you how to conduct a discussion but I can say that my Mudcat experience has been greatly enhanced by not being goaded into pointless arguments with those who simply want to destroy civilised debate. |
