Poll: Poll: Prime Minister Theresa May calls General Election on June 8th

[Amp34]

Well I'm sure that would win a lot of votes in a Christian country



Do they mean radical Islamist there, or do they not understand the difference?



It isn't, hence why it's already a thing, either UKIP don't know that or they're hoping the people reading their manifesto don't.



It's already banned.



They already are, plus available in other languages.

I'd also question how many women/children they spoke to before coming up with the yearly inspection point. I'd hazard a guess that the yearly "pull your knickers down for me" will not be popular amongst children or a lot of parents (in general, not those thinking of doing FGM). That's a horrendously intrusive thing to put kids through on a regular basis, but then they are also wanting to ban items of clothing that people want to use to cover their modesty, so I guess they just don't care what women actually think.

Uber, the UKIP stuff is the bullet points, my opinions are the non-bullet pointed ones.

I know, I was pointing out problems with both.

 

[datalol-jack]

FWIW, even UKIP's key money-bag doesn't want to throw his hat in the ring any more. Nuttall is doing a Livingstone. All the cooky councillors are coming out of the woodwork, and the manifesto is essentially their version of the comfort blanket. They are done.

Although the Labour vote is always lower on these forums, there's usually mirror stories between percentage share here, and what's happened in the country. Based on this, LDs may well surprise everyone and UKIP really do fall away. 2015 poll... https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/general-election-voting-intentions-poll.18664415/

Has Tim nice but dim Farron admitted that he looks down on gays yet? if he was with UKIP they'd be getting slaughtered as a homophobic party.

 

[Tefal]

indeed - you don't really need to qualify Islamist with the word 'radical'

i think the only reason "Islamist" exists as a word is to shortern "radical Islamic terrorist" to something usable in conversation

Don't know about the spa's but can confirm two state schools the gf has taught at have relaxation rooms and designer chairs.

I've worked on a private school with a full spa set-up.

Those rooms are for disruptive children and those which require SEN support and/or have an EHCP

Has Tim nice but dim Farron admitted that he looks down on gays yet?

Does he?

if he was with UKIP they'd be getting slaughtered as a homophobic party.

No, if he was with UKIP he'd be saying stupid stuff like 'gay marriage causes flooding', and the party would be justifiably hammered for it.

 

[mmj_uk]

Does he?

He clearly believes it's a sin otherwise he wouldn't be refusing to answer simple questions like "Do you believe homosexuality is a sin?" and claiming personal and political beliefs are two different things.

Has Tim nice but dim Farron admitted that he looks down on gays yet? if he was with UKIP they'd be getting slaughtered as a homophobic party.

And why is he dim?

 

[Sankari]

He clearly believes it's a sin otherwise he wouldn't be refusing to answer simple questions like "Do you believe homosexuality is a sin?" and claiming personal and political beliefs are two different things.

But that's not the same as looking down on homosexuals. He might take the view 'love the sinner, hate the sin.'

 

[ubersonic]

He clearly believes it's a sin otherwise he wouldn't be refusing to answer simple questions like "Do you believe homosexuality is a sin?"

I thought "I do not, I am very proud to have gone through that lobby, in the coalition government where the Lib Dems created gay marriage, equal marriage" was pretty clear

and claiming personal and political beliefs are two different things.

They are. I.E Corbyn personally believed in Brexit but campaigned for it, may believes in Remain but is instigating Brexit.

 

[ubersonic]

And why is he dim?

It's a Harry Enfield character from the 90's, Tim nice but Dim.

Im voting conservative because i don't really care about the poor or disabled and i don't care much for the nhs either as i've got private health care.

Found it quite funny when the conservatives shut down sure start centres and cut disability benefit a few years ago, just a shame that the house of lords stopped us from cutting child benefit.

I'm sure when we win a big majority we can then focus on reducing the house of lords. Opposition is not needed in this day and age

TORY, TORY, TORY

50% poll lead now and on course for a 200+ seat majority, for comparison Labour won the '97 election with a 253 seat majority with a 43% share of the vote.

Meanwhile Labour gets it priorities right and is guaranteeing the rights of EU citizens. While I agree with secure the right of EU citizens is a good thing this isn't something that's going to resonate with it's dwindling working class voter base. If Labour are going down this route they should promise a 2nd in/out vote, while that is the wrong choice for the country IMO this is the only thing that would get them back in the race but with commie Corbyn in charge I doubt anyone would take it seriously.

Can't say I'm surprised. I expected a Labour wipeout, and this looks like a virtual tsunami.

That's not a 50% poll lead.

Wow zero empathy shown here. Glad not everybody in the UK think the same selfish thoughts as you.
