Wouldnt be surprised if in the event of our dearest leader QE passes from her mortal coil, that May assigns herself Queen. Then the relinquishment of rights where muslims are the "target" will begin.

I've not seen a proper decent argument for either side that hasn't had some childish name calling or immature cartoon attached to it.

For every May is a loon there is a Corbyn's a pillock argument.

The reality is that most people in the country are not rabidly siding and taking swipes. Most people are making a choice aware that it is a compromise.

basically everything from @3mins is where we are headed. May will bring death with some of her policies and we will all love her for it.

It's all but going to happen. NHS are already talking about rationing operations. It wont be long until there are Death Panels with a silly corporate title deciding who can and can't have an operation.

I disagree. Talking to people where I live they are voting based on soundbites and newspaper and news coverage. Strong and Stable wins the day.

That's what people said when they predicted victory for the right wing, anti-EU parties in the Austrian, Belgian, and French elections.

But in every case, the right wing parties were soundly thrashed, and people voted for centrist parties.

Everywhere except here you mean, where the Tory's have gone full ukip...
 
I'm confused, if May wins are we talking a British utopia where everyone's white middle class and Johnny Foreigner from across the water buys all of our exports at inflated cost, or is it going to be all jack boots and funny salutes. I suppose what I'm really asking is if I buy a trench coat from Amazon, am I going to be considered fashion forward come tomorrow morning.

Why are people going to be annoyed if Corbyn wins?

May wants to sell off Hospital land and privatise the NHS. She will cut off any hospital who doesn't get with the program from public funds so budgets will be squeezed until they fall in line. She will sell it off cheap and use the £8bn public money she claims is going to be put into the NHS to offer cash incentives to developers.

Tories are systematically stripping the country of assets and people don't give a **** for some reason.

Some media outlets don't help either.

I flicked through a few newspapers over the past few days and most had pages of brutal and relentless headlines targeting Labour with little to no criticism of Conservatives. The Daily Mail is a perfect example who makes no shame of hiding bias https://twitter.com/jimwaterson/status/872364109458804736.

Sadly I can imagine some of the millions of readers would be heavily influenced by this and just vote Conservatives due to the excessive and potentially deceptive anti-Labour headlines and content even if they don't necessarily agree with the policies, local MP etc and even if it negatively impacts them.

I would wait to be honest, May will have your Amazon password and can place the order for you depending on what she has decided the national colour scheme is to be.

The public are subjected to a barrage of anti(whoever they want to lose) sentiment with no censure at all. Pretty disgusting.
