The 2017 General Election campaign

[chilango]

I think you should have a mod status for the duration - any non result crap/debate/beef you can delete

The way the polls are looking I'll be in bed by 10:15ish. It'll be absolute anarchy on the thread...

That list isn't in chronological order! No wonder people like me give up on fucking lists.

Guy I knew years ago was rumoured to have two Polish girlfriends (it was true). They called him The Hammock. Don't look at me like that, I didn't make up the nickname!

History doesn't happen all at once. The whole histories of all labour movements around the world show precisely that... and more: it's sometimes forwards and others backwards.

How strange that for so much of the past quarter century in e.g. hackney, haringey, islington, camden, lambeth etc it has been the labour council shitting on the people. At some point the exception becomes the rule: and it's not as tho history has much positive to say about national labour governments of the past 50 years either, the three there've been.

It's not entirely accurate, it's got the Tories winning Tooting in 2015.

Did you watch YouTube for that cheat?

Estimated declaration times: UK general election 2017: estimated declaration times by majority

Not sure what's going on there. As an example:

574 Tooting 01:30 23734 44.22 Conservative UKIP

Err ... no

Facebook Live'd it.

Facebook Live'd it.

Young people with their apps.

All I ask is, can we have just the one GE results thread tomorrow/Friday please?

Don't we need one for those of us watching it on a stream as it goes out live on HBO and then another for those waiting until it's on Sky Atlantic the following night?

I'm not "man enough to admit what"? That I hadn't seen the debate? I prefaced my first post on the matter with that caveat. I further said this had "apparently" happened. So perhaps you can apply your forensic truthiness to that.

However, I note you still aren't pointing out where it says in the Times report that Dugdale said what Sturgeon said she said.

And that's the point I was making: it's one person's word against another's.

Of course, you're completely ignoring that. Because it's a mild criticism of Sturgeon. And you don't like that.

Absolute crap from start to finish. I was talking about your 'immediate and categoric denial' from the (current) labour leader Dugdale.

tbf...had a little chortle when vp jumped in and called me a cunt though.

 

[Mr.Bishie]

No!

 

[binka]

No!

Spoilers in tags at least?

All I ask is for ONE results thread. Don't let me down.

Yes, that's what the reports said. But like my first post on the matter said: I hadn't seen it. And I used the word "apparently" to reinforce the fact I was commenting second hand.

I found VP's comments most perspicacious, though, given the way you have completely avoided anything put to you.

The record stands. Anyone reading the thread in order can see very well what's been said. I'm satisfied with that.

Fine. You can keep the bike.

Never had a ticket but fuck. Blagged myself in and it was like a Trump rally without racist wankers. After, Islington pubs were full on party. More tomorrow...

 

[J Ed]

...and just results and results related comment too.

If Lab win I'm starting at least 10 threads about it.

Shitty weather doesn't bode well.

Shitty weather doesn't bode well.

It's not supposed to be raining solidly all day, some dry spells later on so hopefully people will come out after the rain stops and it won't have too much impact.

 

[J Ed]

Does anyone still believe Mi5 don't control the weather??

 

[Supine]

Fuck the poles

Racist!!!

Had a very depressing evening in my local social club (ex "workingman's club"). Telly was on and almost everyone was cheering Teresa May and slagging off Corbyn . I heard comments like "God help the country if Corbyn gets in", "terrorist lover" and that kind of crap. It seemed as though they'd swallowed the Sun and Mail headlines completely.

Went home feeling very fed up.
