If I were leading the Tories I'd have just released a load of middle of the road policies that are incredibly uncontroversial, annoy the least amount of people and win by a landslide. What's the point of releasing a raft of controversial stuff that fans the flames of the "nasty party" narrative? How is that going to appeal to the soft Labour voters that they want? Or maybe they think that people will just vote for Brexit and swallow all the other rubbish they have tacked on. Very disillusioned by both parties right now...

Considering the Tories hold all the aces, they have played this election campaign appallingly.Why would you refuse to debate Corbyn when his appearance and how he comes across is one of the least appealing things about him? Why would you go after easy votes in the form of older people? Why would you support fox hunting which will gain no votes in the areas they are trying to break through? Really odd strategy to simply repeat the strong and stable mantra whilst doing little else. Labour have their own problems but no need to make their job easier.

Not sure why you're finding it so difficult to understand. He's either voting labour despite feeling they are currently being led horrendously, he's wasting his vote on one of the other parties or he's voting Tory despite being ideologically opposed to them and only because Corbyn et al are so awful. Whoever verbal decides to vote for, how does that change what he is saying?

K Billy supersound and Guan 2.0 are pretty much the only people worth listening to in terms of itk in my experience. We used to have the likes of lifelongsaint and Saint David to entertain us too with their fantasies.

How can you be really concerned when you wouldn't even know who we would bring in?

Not just this country. Have you seen BAMN and the despicable antifa? Countries like Australia, Canada and America are suffering from the same type of thing abd identity politics is another strand of that. I think it's very sad that the only party to vote for is the Conservatives. It's in the interests of everyone that we have a credible opposition that aren't a bunch of hard left wing loons.

Absolutely heartbreaking to see the persecution of the Yazidi too.

I managed to get back from the footie in time to watch an excellent documentary on channel 4 about the origins of isis. Some absolutely despicable views from some of the Muslim spokesmen and utterly refutes the view that isis have nothing to do with Islam. What is most disturbing is how much of this stuff is explicitly referenced in the Qaran. It's a must watch for anyone interested in the topic.

So "free" childcare is currently woefully underfunded with talk of nurseries closing following the introduction of 30 free hours from September yet Labour wants to extend this to two year olds and one year olds and: Our colleague in BBC Radio Leeds says the document doesn't say how it would be paid for. Absolute genius.

Hi Peter . I heard that Martin and Paul are down this weekend from America. Don't go spreading it about though.

That just about sums it up for me. Lets be honest, Adkins was sacked for much less.

We don't know yet do we. Happy to wait and see.

Threads like this really annoy me. There are legitimate criticisms of this season about entertainment, lack of Goals, poor performances etc but this cr*p just discredits any criticism because it's so ridiculous.

Why is that controversial?

Because so many games this season have been bereft of entertainment, goals and positive play.

For anyone wondering, this is why people have doubts about puel. If this peters out to a narrow loss you can see why some are discontented.

Indeed. She would have sold 3 years ago if that were the case.

Why would katrina sh*t on her father's legacy in that manner by selling to broke and corrupt Chinese people? That would run counter to the only statement she has made as well as her families previous business dealings.

Katrina asked us to trust her and I've no reason not to. I can't see her selling to these guys if they are as bad as reported.

Speak for yourself. I was very much looking forward to jetting around Europe for the knockouts after Prague and Milan.

If they end up third, can someone mock up the usual we got a point bus and post please?

Can you only have a negative opinion of Islamic terrorism if it affects you personally? Is it not enough to see fellow citizens brutally murdered or maimed on the streets of London? I haven't had any direct experience of Islamic terrorism (although extremism is prevalent within most forms of Islam and I've definitely experienced that) but I don't think you have had to have been disabled by a bomb from a nutter screaming Allah Akbar to understand the impact that can have on the streets of our country.

If I were you soggy (thankfully I'm not), I would start a new thread talking about the ills of Maidstone and how it's like the wild west. I'm sure that many would be quick to condemn the behaviour of the cowboys and cowgirls on a Friday night. Until that time, it's not that unsurprising that a thread largely discussing Islamic terrorism has an awful lot of content on it about erm Islamic extremism. If every discussion about it on this thread has to be prefaced with "of course we all know that atrocities are also committed in Maidstone every week" in order to satisfy you then this thread is going to get even longer than it already is. I can't speak for others but for my part, take it as read that I am equally appalled by drunken gun slinging in Maidstone as I am about stabbings and murders by Islamic extremists. I'm mostly going to be talking about the terrorism on this thread though because that's what this thread is about.

And pay NHS staff "what they deserve" and pay everyone £10 an hour and give every child in the country free school meals. It's fantasy politics.

"mohammed had sex with a child." "Christians did it too." So? If King Richard had sex with a 6 year old then he is equally sick and depraved, it doesn't lessen the original crime.
