The lunatic youth bloc vote are always going to vote for the leftist candidate who by their very nature will always be unelectable. That's because the older generation are, by and large, selfish cunts. I mean, not you, obviously, given you voted for Corbyn at the last election.

It’s how that is ever possible again I’m questioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 17621 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Well, well done Corbyn. I've just voted other than Labour for the first time in my life. There was a bunch of old Tory women in front of me. One didn't know how to put a cross on the ballot paper. Another put the ballot paper in her handbag and walked out before she was called back! And these soon to be deceased (factual, not nasty) have decided the fate of our country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Jeremy Corbyn is defeated in 2022, Labour will be offering a serious leader of the opposition so the Conservatives will be better served staying away from any of the old guard as they will not have it anywhere as easy as Theresa May has had it.

Not a chance he’ll be around then. He has nothing else to offer and the polls are against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 3960 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 A generation condemned to low wages with no prospect of home ownership who believe there must be a better way and they're "lunatic". What a bunch of generational vampire parasites you all are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJS 3960 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 A pup because 40 years of Thatcherism has made the UK a paradise? Moderately left wing governments have made lots of countries better than the UK. Fuck GDP and how many billionaires live here - I'm talking about other, better measures of society like not having fucking food banks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceCadet 5 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Wages are not too low, the cost of living is too high. VAT is is too much, consumers are being fleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I inherited my politics from my grandfather who was involved in the treasury for his local council.

SpaceCadet 5 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 Those figures were an example of where I think they ought to be. The US on average is at 13% and I think we can do just as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
