The 2019 General Election

[kebabking]

What's with the double L emphasis?

It's IL, harking back to the old Independent Labour of the 20/30s (someone will put me right, I'm thinking of Maxwell in Glasgow...).

 

[kebabking]

Yes, it looks like something he he should be wearing late 41 - scouring the horizon with binoculars. With a shitty drawn on derby ram.

While standing on a tank with a stream of JU-88's flying overhead...

 

[LDC]

Is it just me, or is the Chris Williamson image on the banner looking a lot like Williamson is wearing a Wehrmacht field cap last seen in the Blitzkrieg era?

Subliminal messaging?

Afrika Corps was totally my first thought. Although I think that might say more about me than him.

 

[LDC]

He also looks like he's dead, or at least been dug up.

I always though he looked a bit Nosferato tbh.

or Ilyushin

What's with the double L emphasis?

Maybe it's just me, but it looks a bit...

...sure it's just a terrible coincidence, though

 

[kebabking]

I must admit the combination of the Wehrmacht field cap and the corpse look made me think of one of the melting Germans at the end of Indiana Jones...

 

[Pickman's model]

Agreed, but the tories have a powerful twat this time instead of a weak twat, something that has to be taken seriously, especially as their powerful twat is also a clever twat.
little things like scrapping the unpopular parking charges are a massive positive for him, even though we all know he'd scrap the NHS tomorrow if he could.
As I've said many times, the tory's policies hardly matter, it's how they come over, and they're doing a very good PR job while making Corbyn look like a useless pillock that's scrambling to catch up and copying tory policies. Johnson, a man any decent politician should be able to expose as the utter cunt he is, is running rings round Corbyn.

Tories to unveil manifesto 'to get Brexit done'



Yes, it's bollocks, but it's really well presented bollocks and that's dangerous.

He's a weak and stupid twat, you're a stupid twat

 

[gosub]

So Jo Swinson is prepared to use nukes , whilst Nicola Sturgeon has vowed not to retaliate or do I need another cup of coffee before I try to catch up on the news

Maxton, I meant Maxton....

Polls are slippery things. I'm not worried.

The words of a dedicated fire-fighter.

 

[Idris2002]

So, are the Seventh Cavalry going to show up with their famous battle cry "ok, boomer"?



Or is the UK fated to slip, finally, into darkness eternal?

And more importantly, could the dire polls we're seeing be underestimating or excluding this bloc of yoof?

 

[elbows]

Oh here we go with this shit:

Top energy firms move offshore over Labour plans

National Grid runs the electricity transmission network in England and Wales, as well as the main gas transmission pipelines. It has a market value of £31bn.

"Labour's proposals for state ownership of National Grid would be highly detrimental to millions of ordinary people who either hold shares in the company or through their pension funds - which include several local authority pension funds," a spokeswoman said.

"To protect their holdings, and in line with our legal fiduciary duty to our shareholders, we have established holding companies in Luxembourg and Hong Kong. This has no financial benefit to the company and does not affect its day-to-day operations," she added.

“Taking back control’ again. Brilliant stuff.

Tories get away with playing the nationalism card while all the bits that make the nation work are owned offshore or by overseas based companies. no democratic oversight, no control.

Waste of time. Any govt would nationalise the assets, not the corporate holding(s).

waste of energy , surely ?

Last one to leave country turn out lights etc

 

[MrCurry]

Last one to leave country turn out lights etc

You'll have to go to Luxembourg Todo that.

 

[Pickman's model]

19 fucking points

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

They will do nothing with their predicted majority as it is simply imaginary, it doesn't exist

[treelover]

So not just the tories editing videos.



How it actually sounded.

Tbf, lots of broadcast media did show it, inc BBC news, LK, and obv Corbyn laughed at on his Brexit position.

how many registered, but then voted last time?

 

[teqniq]

The BBC have questions to answer which they are not. I am not surprised.

 

[Hollis]

Com on Greg! Where the hell is your 2019 campaign video..

 

[Wilf]

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.

Whether they took seconds out or not, the editing alters the meaning of the clip, so it is significant, particularly in an election.

Maxton, I meant Maxton....

Dammit, I thought you'd found out where she's hiding!
