The 2017 General Election campaign

[Wilf]

ffs, he should just say if someone nuked Britain he leave it to the military, or somesuch bollocks.

 

[J Ed]

Christ

 

[YouSir]

Depressing how few people understand how nuclear weapons really work. If a country that could actually nuke us did nuke us... we'd be dead. Most of us anyway. Maybe disgruntled cunt of suburban Kent is a deep optimist who wants to be the last one watching Johnny Foreigner fry as he sits in the slag heap remains of his home but beyond that it'd make no difference.

 

[J Ed]

All the energy has gone out of Corbyn after the nuclear thing, he thinks that he has fucked it.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Fairly well constructed question there.

 

[Lord Camomile]

All the energy has gone out of Corbyn after the nuclear thing, he thinks that he has fucked it.

I do worry that'll be the story of this one.

 

[Orang Utan]

The man in the audience is talking about businesses that are unviable if they can't afford to pay people enough to live on.

 

[chilango]

I do worry that'll be the story of this one.

Of course it will.

I don't think it will damage him, but it may take some of his momentum away.

Mail or Sun headline I'd bet.

The man in the audience is talking about businesses that are unviable if they can't afford to pay people enough to live on.

He's saying that he is. He's not really is he?

 

[Ted Striker]

Blatant Tory plant trying to big up zero hour contracts

 

[Lord Camomile]

The man in the audience is talking about businesses that are unviable if they can't afford to pay people enough to live on.

Again I'm left wishing Corbyn (or others) would say "to hell with votes" and make that point too.

 

[Orang Utan]

i run a business and don't wan't to pay more to workers. Can you tell me why you want to male me p

He's saying that he is. He's not really is he?

No, it's my response to what he's saying

 

[Lord Camomile]

Oh, fuck me, IRA again

 

[Orang Utan]

Oh, fuck me, IRA again

iPlayer must be way behind the telly as these comments seem to precede what I'm hearing

 

[butchersapron]

No, it's my response to what he's saying

eh?

The man in the audience is talking about businesses that are unviable if they can't afford to pay people enough to live on.

 

[Lord Camomile]

"You were talking to them" - that's not the same as 'supporting' someone. C'mon man, fuck's sake...

iPlayer must be way behind the telly as these comments seem to precede what I'm hearing

Aye, think there's usually a bit of lag to iPlayer.

 

[butchersapron]

just push the button, shut these cunts up you coward

 

[YouSir]

The man in the audience is talking about businesses that are unviable if they can't afford to pay people enough to live on.

Not talking for him but 'micro businesses' cover everything down to family corner shops where entire families can only have tenuous connections to minimum or living wages in real terms without anyone really profiting from it. Having something like tax credits to support those people is no bad thing.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Nuclear war and the IRA and yet it's Corbyn who wants to go back to the 1970s

 

[Orang Utan]

eh:

Yes. Any business that cannot pay their workers enough is unviable so if that man is moaning about the £10 an hour, he's either greedy or his business in unviable.

 

[Ted Striker]

Surely there's a point where the nuclear fetishists step back and sheer respect at how he doesn't back down and say "fuck it, yes, bomb them, bomb them all...It's never going to happen anyway. I'll promise to you right now fly the fucking plane myself"

I would have had a photoshoot in the Vulcan years ago if it got me a few more votes.

 

[JimW]

Frigg it, no frigates

 

[YouSir]

Corbyn: See, I know military shit - frigates, gawd bless the Navy, guns.

 

[chilango]

 

[eatmorecheese]

Shit, thinking the exact same thing

 

[chilango]

That was all a bit shit really, wasn't it?

 

[Lord Camomile]

The biggest threat to my faith in humanity will always be listening to the fuckers talk.

Jesus christ...

 

[J Ed]

Was that as bad as it looked?

 

[Nine Bob Note]

Oh, is that it? I was expecting them to go out with a rousing sing song
