General Election - July 2024

[twoleftfeet]

This appears to be the rumour on Sky. An easy win for Starmer and some big names losing their seats. The Country needs a change but is it going to get one? The thought of seeing that annoying Beth Rigby for 6 weeks though is a horrifying thought.

"To be quite honest, I'd rather those utterances, however unpleasant to some, were out in the open and up for discussion and debate, rather then festering in a seething mass of hatred in some person's head. The media seem to be doing all they can to discredit Reform UK. Guess they see it as payback for not getting their way over Brexit."

"In fairness candidates and canvassers in Reform UK seem to be doing their best to discredit their party. Unless, that is, you see no problem with racist/misogynistic utterances."

[Mike Oxsaw]

"The media seem to be doing all they can to discredit Reform UK. Guess they see it as payback for not getting their way over Brexit. Is Brexit an acceptable price to pay for getting the Tories out of office? ....""and nobody is really gonna vote Labour surely.""... Don't you believe it. Their fathers voted Labour, so they vote Labour. Their fathers' fathers voted Labour so they vote Labour. Their fathers' fathers' fathers voted Labour so they vote Labour. And they're all very naughty boys. Biggest insult to your family that you can make is break that tradition and NOT (just for vexy-wexy) vote Labour."

Biden was an absolute disaster. He needs to step down for his own sake and the sake of his party.

[Fauxstralian]

"Its too late Biden is the candidate and the election is only 4 months away November 5th .... remember remember the 5th of November Biden : You what , not sure I remember my own name. Nurse!"

[goose]

"""They have to act now or it’ll be a disaster for the country and the world"" lol dry your eyes you fucking bender. you think a democratic vote will be a disaster for the world?"

[ray winstone]

"Poor old Rishi got the hump over racist remarks against him, oh the fucking irony...."

[Hammer and Pickle]

"Biden’s fitness for office has now become the number 1 issue, which given all that Trump is, has to be a disaster for the Democrats. They have to act now or it’ll be a disaster for the country and the world."

[Fauxstralian]

Biden won last time because he wasnt Trump The Democrats on day 1 should have designated him a one term President and looked for a candidate with some of his faculties for this race. Unfortunately the Vice President has been in a witness protection program for most of the last few years and noone else has been visible. Too late now and fully expect D Trump to win even if its from a jail cell. Can imagine Farage will win Clacton .... the views expressed in that Channel 4 report by his team there will go down well I suspect All his other candidates will do is QUEER the chances of Conservatives and let Labour candidates in.

I quite fancy a Farage / Trump ticket to lead the way these next 4 years. Clean up the horrible mess caused by the idiots. After last nights debate Biden is toast. He was a disaster and nobody is really gonna vote Labour surely. Although it would be quite funny if you did. The level of misery all that live there will have to endure will be on a whole other level. I wouldn’t put it past you lot to be fair. We will soon find out.

[Mike Oxsaw]

"Don't forget that a vote for Labour is a vote to allow men, self-identifying as women, full access to little girls in their changing rooms without let or hindrance. Do YOU really want that? Vote RED if you do."

"""""the British public is blaming the Tories for Brexit, hence their humiliating demise as a credible party of government."" Is not supported by people answering ""shit"" to... “What do you think of the party that brought you Brexit as a solution to the country’s most pressing problems?” You appear to have carelessly bundled out a non-sequitor in your haste to supply yourself with a vehicle to attach your ad-hominem."

[Hammer and Pickle]

"All rather depends on the question asked, William. See what happens if you asked “What do you think of Brexit as a solution to the country’s most pressing problems?” and “What do you think of the party that brought you Brexit as a solution to the country’s most pressing problems?” You wouldn’t understand the question. Never mind, you’re voting Reform."

[wils]

"""the British public is blaming the Tories for Brexit, hence their humiliating demise as a credible party of government."" This assertion doesn't stand up very well to scrutiny. Brexit has slipped from 'the' most important issue concerning voters in 2019 to 9th (ninth!) now. Immigration, however, has gone up 3 places in the list of voters concerns. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/06/24/world/europe/uk-conservatives.html"

[Mike Oxsaw]

"The only people still vexed by Brexit are the main stream media - and they effortlessly drag all the unthinking, selfish, bigoted, muppet losers along with them. Witness posters on this thread for reference/proof."

[Hammer and Pickle]

"I didn’t “blame” the Kremlin for Brexit for the perfectly simply reason that it is delighted to take credit for Brexit. Oh and the only “mates” anyone has in the Kremlin are those lowlifes realising its interests, and that includes pretty much every politician a wanker like you admires. But the good thing is, you are a marginal crank and the British public is blaming the Tories for Brexit, hence their humiliating demise as a credible party of government."

[Side of Ham]

"Pickle, I’ll say again if you are right (which you are not) I’d like to thank the Kremlin for stopping the freedom of movement of his fellow Eastern Europeans in masses to the West (although I assume this is still one way traffic for the Western European countries still in the EU?)."

[only1billybonds]

"Fucking he'll fourpence, you still blaming your mates in the KREMLIN for Brexit? Persistent fucker, I'll give you that."

[Jaan Kenbrovin]

"Farage was spot on. Not only did the west help provoke the war, but openly prepared Ukraine for it for years before. Admitting the Minsk agreement was stalling tactics. Which is why no-one in the west tried to prevent it or have called for peace since it began."

[Hammer and Pickle]

"It is also correct to say that in the case of Farage, the personal interest as a politician is not normal because he has consistently aligned it with the Russian Federation, which is in conflict with the UK, and acted to conflict the UK with the EU, which as the UK’s main trading partner and geopolitical ally, has just issue its 14th packet of sanctions against the Russian Federation. Suggesting Farage is just another normal politician strikes me as simple disinformation."

[Mike Oxsaw]

"What, exactly, is it that everyone knocking one out for Labour expect when they get into power? I understand the simplistic 6th form mentality of ""Get these cunts out, whatever"" (and would agree - apart from geting Brexit over the line they've done fuck-all apart from fuck the country), but what, exactly are you expecting Labour to deliver and when do YOU expect to start seeing the changes (whatever they may be)? Would it not be better to have a Tory landslide delivered on the back of a POPULIST mandate of ""You got us into this shit, now you get us out of it""?"

[Russ of the BML]

"threesixty 5:15 Sat Jun 22 Farage in it for himself?? Fuck me....Is that all you got? I mean, what fucking politician isn't? Any MP that has eyes on PM or leadership or even so much as a 'top job' within a party is in it for himself. They have a short time to reach those targets and there careers at the very top are short. They fight tooth and nail to get there and will all shaft their own nan to get where they want to be. It's called Party Politics. And its the reason that nothing changes and nothing ever gets done because the cunts are all too focussed on beating their opponent parties and moving through the ranks. I mean, accuse Farage of something iif you like, but to accuse him of being what every MP is. That's pointless."

[Mike Oxsaw]

"""economically inactive "". Too young? Too old/retired? Students? Sick/disabled? Workshy Lazy cunts? I know who my economically active money is on."

[Hammer and Pickle]

These economically inactive citizens of Clacton certainly seem to have a sense of humour. It’s a brave new world that it should have such creatures in it
