Exactly. Its depressing the level of knowledge is so low amongst many voters - at a time when its never been easier to get facts as opposed to propaganda. There are real policy debates to be had about healthcare rationing, nuclear arms, house building etc yet it rarely rises above 'you spent all the money', 'yeah well you lot killed loads of babies'

Why not equip yourself with a few basic facts instead of swallowing whole what the Tories tell you? http://www.primeeconomics.org/articles/taq30tk04ljnvpyfos059pp0w7gnpe http://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2016/03/13/the-conservatives-have-been-the-biggest-borrowers-over-the-last-70-years/

Pity you didn't do module on ' binary thinking'

One good thing to come out of this campaign is that it's made clear the Labour party don't have to be entirely anodyne and centrist to get elected. The quite 'left' manifesto has been mainly well received. If the messengers had been different it could have formed the basis of a government.

She's Swiss

Is there a point to this zero sum game? Philip Hammond, never see him anymore. Jeremy (h)unt, nuff said. Liam Fox kept in a box. Ooh look, anyone can play.

Thats true. We all use diplomatic language in corresponding with work colleagues. Its more conciliatory to suggest "Oh I think I can see a problem with that approach" than directly calling out somebody for suggesting dishonesty.

Even your own insults contradict you ffs.

You really are that dumb, wow. The other part of the email conversation is a hoaxer. She is asked to add colour / lie by the hoaxer and refuses.

Which part of "I have enjoyed good health until recent years. Diabetes in itself...." were you outsmarted by?

Its not, I got it confused with Ripple. It is however more speculation than investment imo. I admit I don't really understand Ethereum - but I suspect most people who put money in don't either. Its more like a bet. The state involvment of Russia is worrying too. Thery have a long record of backing technology dead ends and turkeys.

Its not, as has been obvious since yesterday when it was in all the dailies. It does however prove two things - Abbott IS ill and she refuses to lie or make political capital out of it. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/06/06/diane-abbott-appears-fall-victim-hoax-email-conversation-online/

May is talking tough about longer sentences for dead suicide terrorists. Wouldn't it be better if instead we had a Home Secretary who acted on the warnings allies give us?

If speaking at an event where lots of arseholes were present were a crime your boss would be mute.

The Tories had a lead of 6% over Labour last time and only got an overall majority of 14. They'd need a lead of something like 9% or more to get a majority like that.

I just looked again at the 2010 election, only 7 years ago. The combined left vote of Labour and LDs was 52% whilst the Tories and UKIP were only 39.2%. With the LDs and UKIP now largely out of the picture somehow it doesn't seem so hard now to imagine Labour doing well.

I can believe only 50% of under 30s will vote but doubt that is a drop from 2015. The FT article claims 62% of the same age group voted in 2015 - but the nationwide turnout for all age groups was only 66%. Seems suspect.

I wouldnt say that. It will have utterly screwed May as a credible leader. Unfortunately it will also install Corbyn as one. She will be dumped as PM, then we will have another unelected PM who will want their own mandate and we can do it all again in a couple of years after another referendum on the dodgy Brexit deal. Hours of fun yet.

Cons on 43, Labour 38, majority of 10.

Its not, just journo speak drumming up a headline. https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2017/06/why-a-mosque-is-refusing-to-bury-the-manchester-attacker/528648/

I do. Everybody should have their face visable in public places

This quote says time off OR a move abroad. "Thomas will not take charge of Leverkusen,' his agent, Olaf Meinking told German newspaper FAZ. 'We will see how things develop after his holiday. 'He could take some time off, but he could also move abroad.' http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4572610/Thomas-Tuchel-plays-Bayer-Leverkusen-link.html#ixzz4j8quIbNg

What Corbyn has said is no different to what happens already - shootings must be within the law. The whole argument about shoot to kill is a political construct designed only to portray him as soft on crime and terror. In reality there is no civil shoot to kill policy and anybody authorising / working to one would be in court on murder charges. What we have is a minimum necessary force policy, which is what everybody, Tories, Labour and police have worked to for decades, if not centuries.

Making it into duopoly on the sly
