The UK Politics and EU Referendum thread - merged

[Woodsey]

Woodsey deffo likes to wind up the left leaning people on here. Though he does seem to treat supporting the Tories like following a sports team, rather than an actual political discussion so you are never going to get a debate, why bother?

I really don't' mind it actually, I simply don't have the time that much these days tbh....

Almost every thing you write suggests it's intellect that's the issue, not time.

I'm educated to MA level and my job involves me speaking to opinion leaders and Professors at the highest level of the NHS every week, what are your educational and professional credentials?

Can't really believe I'm answering this heads up for rolllz style question but....I have a B.Eng and a BSc degree, I am a public servant. None of these things, yours or mine are a sensible measure of intelligence.

I have "O" Level Latin - can I play?

Don't mean to be crude but what is the point spending hundreds of billions on trident and not being able to protect citizens from attacks like we are seeing on the tv screens just now.

Ok fair enough, but as a minimum can we at least establish that neither of us are thick chavs and we are able to make our own opinions based on our own values and what we have seen/heard in that last few weeks?

Anyway I'm 6 pints in, can we continue this tomorrow?

Of course Ralph, but you are old skool, different times different life. Standards have dropped so you would be at the higher end no doubt which is no surprise to me

Sure, you'd be most welcome and probs the brightest of the three of us, kind of my point I guess. Maybe not now though in light of events in London. The decimation of the police force part of austerity still not working out I see.

Raise an A level in general studies.

Looks like some "loser" has struck again.

Why are we continually being targeted over the US?

Perceived as an easy target when we keep cutting funding in Police and Border Control maybe?

Was more why we are suddenly a target though, especially when ppl quote the syrian attacks we were little more than a heads up on. Seems the timing has to link to our election but what point are they trying to make it, or is its presence or its disruption magnifying the point they are making.

I'm not an expert by any means on this and there's some speculation , as I understand it Isis are getting annihilated in Syria and Iraq, this was bound to be part of the fightback. Latest pics on Sky are from inside Katzenjammers, my favourite spot for a drink on a Friday.

Apparently half of the 3000 extremists on the watch list are in London.
 maybe pre election, pre tomorrow's concert, was in their planning.
Presume army back on streets tomorrow.
Sickening.

So lets say the election leaves the Tories with the same majority they had before the election.

Does May survive that?

She called the election to "strengthen her negotiating position".

If she doesn't do that how tenable is her leadership?

It's difficult, other than DC and Brexit. Has a PM ever looked this incompetent before?

Yes Gordon 'clown' Brown....Mr turn the taps on and piss away money....Blair was ok until he started really pissing money away....

Always nice to have confirmation from the politically illiterate. Many thanks

Love it!!  The more clowns like you insult any right policy the more you tip it towards Brexits and the conservatives. Please keep doing it 

Brexit and another conservative govt incoming, deal with that whinebag 

We saw Arboy contemplate changing his mind. How bad would they have to be for you to follow suit? There must be a point, surely?? The unnecessary suffering of the disabled, sick and poverty stricken. Where is the point that you rethink? Sometimes it feels like dyed in the wool Tories enjoy the suffering of those less fortunate, you more than most.

That's a ridiculous comment.  Just because you have one political view doesn't give you the moral high ground and lecture people with a different view to you.

"Enjoying people suffering because you are a Tory" line is bang out of order.

We make judgements based on all available information. Disabled people are made homeless and die afraid and alone because of the policies this government make. Then we see banjo playing emojis celebrating this government. It's not great if you're upset by what I wrote but it's a tough gig on my side of this divide too.
