I guess the remain marginals will be key. Would ****ed off Tory remainers bother to vote?

Lib Dems will make a second referendum a must for any coalition.

Polls are always wrong

I can't see the exit poll being right, I think there will be a lot of weird results.

Could it be Corbyn PM in lib, lab snp coalition?

****ing brilliant if they lose majority

Agree with every word of this. The red v blue ****** is what ****es me off the most, we have a straight choice between a bunch of ****s and a bunch of idiots, with May winning because she's not quite as bad as the other candidate. problem is we will never have change because the parties that hold the power don't want it.

Great news that he's not going to those scouse ****s.

Politician in lying shocker!

I can see the Tories getting over a 100 seat majority. The sooner this pointless election is out of the way the better, the last month should have been spent negotiating with European leaders not dicking about campaigning for an election that was only called to benefit the Conservative party. At least there can be no excuses from May now if we don't get a good deal on Brexit. If it all goes tits up its 100% a Tory **** up.

In their opinion. Other Muslims obviously think his interpretation is distorted by western values and their more extreme form is the purest interpretation.

I don't doubt anything he says but still question the logic of getting rid of so many officers at a time when there is an ever increasing threat. The terrorists all seem to be on the security services radar yet there is nowhere near enough resources to keep track of them all - yet we are reducing the amount of police - madness.

Sounds like the usual Tory bull**** to me, I would take more notice of the former counter-terrorism chief to be honest. "A former counter-terrorism chief has lambasted Theresa May’s “endless cuts” to police numbers and warned that the London Bridge attack should make all politicians “reflect” on the damage done by austerity. Jim Gamble, the former head of Special Branch in Belfast, accused the Prime Minister of trying to “asset strip the critical services who in times of trouble make the real difference”. Blogging for HuffPost UK, Gamble – who also headed the police’s national online child protection unit – was scathing about May’s record as Home Secretary, when she oversaw the loss of 20,000 police jobs. A former police head of counter-terrorism in Belfast, and deputy director general of the National Crime Squard, Gamble said that May had claimed for too long that the police could ‘do more with less’. “No matter how you cut it, no matter what spin you put on diversification of resource or doing things differently, there are 20,000 fewer police now than there were in 2010,” he wrote in his blog. “That’s fewer eyes and ears on the street, fewer ‘bobbies’ building relationships, community confidence and critically creating that visible reassurance and deterrence that is key at times like this." They had an expert on radio 5 yesterday saying Community Policing is vital in preventing these sort of attacks and they have been cut as well. These officers are the eye and ears of the force. How can we expect the muslim communities to come onside if the only time they see a copper he is kicking a neighbours door down or stopping and searching someone?

I'm sorry, but even though they have improved tactics and training they should still not cut numbers. In any occupation things improve, get more efficient over time. The threat is growing, we have mass immigration and a growing population - numbers should be increasing even with the better training and tactics.

Surely with an ever increasing threat, and massive immigration the numbers should be increasing as well as being made more effective?

I don't think clothing is the problem, it's hiding your face that expect people have a problem with. Terrorists, ninjas, bank robbers, Darth Vader - they all hide their face for a reason.

Looks like first on the scene was an ordinary bobby from the BTP. Oh look, they have had cuts... http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/george-osborne-accused-of-risking-security-by-cutting-3m-from-british-transport-police-a6870891.html

A good vote winner, to finally come out and say "Islam".

I don't agree with Labour or Lib Dems on their policy for security, they need more powers of surveillance and more powers to lock people up. But the idea that the cops would not shoot to kill in these situations under Labour is nonsense.

About as useful as a **** off great big missile ready to fire on a submarine somewhere.

So the cuts have not happened then?

Of course they would. He has already praised their actions.

That's why they will never get into power, the guy is an idiot.

I think history shows that the threat is ever changing and these people are prepared to do anything for maximum impact. It would be naive in the extreme to think there is no risk outside the big cities. The Police have done an amazing job here, which is why it makes no sense to cut their numbers. They are all that stands between 6 dead or 60 dead.

7/7 they didn't.
