This is absolutely nailed on for a hung parliament, isn't it.

Not once it's pointed out how it's actually going to be funded! The public don't generally like paying for stuff through higher/more taxesQuote:

They will only keep the Bullingdon Bullshítter in office for one term during which Labour will jettison Jezza and shift rightwards enough for a landslide.
Check all this with Monty
Actually, given their prediliction for offering free stuff to the lazy, feckless proles, it's amazing how few Labour administrations we have been blessed with. One might beging to suspect that there is a degree of common sense amongst the electorate.Quote:

While we have Boris promising £500 for every person because they raise the NI threshold (even though it is worth only £95 per person), so in effect, all parties lie for votes, always have, always willQuote:

Progressing slowly, I’m afraid. Still only working a couple of hours a day. Or as John McDonnell would call it,, full time.Quote:

Ah the Ashcroft poll, my personal fave is "C'mon People (We're Making It Now)" with a nod to "Surprised by the Joy"Quote:

No, what they actually said was "That Mendacious Herbaceous fellow really is bit of a snobby spastic at the end of the day, isn't he?".Quote:

I find this offensive. :nod:
Sounds like a bittersweet experience there A ;-)Quote:

Farage would argue that May's entire approach to the negotiations - and Parliament agitating to sabotage them - made it impossible to get something close to his favoured version of Brexit. And it's hard to argue that he's entirely wrong.Quote:

This is the same Farage who campaigned for Leave with the message 'we will leave with a great deal because they need us more than we need them' and who now claims that the only acceptable Brexit is a no deal Brexit?Quote:
