The 2019 General Election

they edit stuff down for news bulletins, and the stuff that gets cut is the stuff where no-one is saying anything, of course. this is embarrassing stuff.
Sorry, but I'm going to have to throw your own advice at you here. Listen to the clips before commenting - you're wrong, they didn't edit it down, as in they didn't take any seconds or parts of seconds out of it. They edited the sound so that you heard claps and not the sniggers. And they must have gone to a fair bit of trouble to do so. Nothing to do with taking out time when no-one is saying anything.
 
They did edit it down - they cut out a pause and some waffling before Johnson started to speak, the space between the end of the question and when he actually started to say something, which was when the laughter took place. That also had the effect of cutting out the laughter.

Ok, in that case the one they're comparing it to has also been edited.
 
Actually I've now listened to it several times and it's not a simple matter of cutting a section out, they have spliced different bits together. I would say with the intention of shortening it rather than to cut the laughter out but there you go.
 
wikipedia says despair is an unforgivable & eternal sort of sin, which seems pretty rough. Anyway carry on, not much of a tangent really.
 
Well, Labour need to keep opening the door to the undecided. How many of those there are I'm not sure. They need to stop playing nice. Because the truth about this shower in government is not nice. How do you shift something in three weeks? Take the kid gloves off and rough them up a bit (speaking in terms of verbal combat obviously). Firstly; they deserve it. Secondly; it's not cynical, it's speaking plainly. Their crimes, their hypocrisy, the lack of conscience and competence. Be bold and take them to task. That in my opinion is the right thing to do.
 
Why are the Tories getting a boost now, other than everyone being thick as mince? I can understand the situation remaining flat but I'm puzzled by the uplift. Is it as simple as a transfer from the Brexit Party?
 
Mostly, yes. Plus we don’t see everything they’re up to on Facebook as only those targeted will be getting the message.

it looks like that to me - the last big round of polling they had only just dropped out in tory held seats, it takes a while for something like that to filter through (and presumably for the polling companies to adjust their methodology). The BP vote has completely collapsed now though, as far as I can see.

I reckon they should go after the cunts on their record, not on what they *might* do with bogeyman Trump which can easily be dismissed as speculation. Enough evidence of what they have done to the NHS, proliferation of the homeless, stagnant wages, fucked trains, stabby kids, homes hardly anyone can afford, corrupt deals etc. Billboards emphasising this and saying ‘so you want some more?’ or something like that.

(Incidentally, haven’t really seen any billboard stuff yet other than the bydonkeys stuff, is it even used anymore or all channelled on Facebook instead?)

The Guardian is reporting a much increased tory lead.
As I've said many times, and been called a cunt for saying, this election has been given to the tories by Corbyn and his band of idiots - as the polls clearly prove.

I said Corbyn's idiotic Brexit sit on the fence position was nothing short of stupid but told how wrong I was, but this shows I was right.
I dread to think what the tories will do with their predicted majority, but I can guarantee it's going to be rough.

Conservatives open up 19-point lead with 47% share of the vote

The Conservatives have taken a commanding 19-point lead over Labour with less than three weeks to go before voters head to the polls, according to the latest Opinium poll for the Observer.....
....The Tory share of the vote now stands at 47%, with Labour on 28% and the Lib Dems falling back to 12%. Also struggling is the Brexit party, which has collapsed to 3%. Underlying the Tory lead is the party’s success in attracting support from Leave voters: three-quarters of them say they would vote Conservative.

Presumably if Labour had gone full remain earlier they would have attracted all those Brexit party voters who have switched to the Tories now?
