And i'm starting to think you're a bit of a self righteous prick. 

You are twat with very sinister motives in most of what you post. Your views in the Ukraine thread, your Brexit views and now the way you are attacking anything Labour is laughable.

 

I’m starting to think your presence in the Israel thread is very performative and you don’t actually give a fuck about the people of Gaza but it’s great way for you use them to further you own personal agenda.

 

Cunt.

It's certainly landed on a good day this. I always think the main BBC news broadcasts are where most people consume their news. And because of the D-Day stuff, there's pretty much been no election news today. Except this. I think it's played well. It might not have quite the punch the lie did last night, but the fact it's been a lie has been pretty difficult to avoid. Hopefully labour can use this throughout the campaign and undermine most of what these pricks say going forward.

Or labour to keep the pair of them out. 

 

Labour can't win here though.

I've just had a look at the Labour candidate and they've put forward a young black lad in the whitest, most Brexity part of the country.

Bastard of a question. Assuming you mean being forced to vote one way or the other. I reckon I’d take whatever the consequences were if I didn’t. 

 

I just meant that many people say that you should always vote to stop the Tories, but in this case the most likely candidate is Toad of Toad Hall.

Id rather my hands get chopped off than vote for either

With the Tories so unpopular according to the poll. And farage about to split the vote, if people voting tactically get behind labour, I don't see why it would be impossible. I'm not saying it's likely - I just find it a real option considering there's some talk the Tory's are really going to fight here. You might be right, that labour putting him a black candidate mightn't help. But the Tory's have a brown leader.

The right wing vote is too high.

 

In previous elections its been a 70 to 80% split between Ukip and the Tories. The disgruntled Tory vote will only be going to Farage and not Labour.

 

The bookies have Labour at 7/1 to win the seat.

It's just as well that I couldn't give 2 fucks about what's to your liking.

OK. I'll remind you of this the next time you get your Union Jack knickers in a twist during the next poppy month.

Not sure if this has been posted but this would make the non-rebuttal of the £2,000 tax increase claim tactical. The Tories have been copping a lot of flack today for it.

It has been a very welcome change to see how much they have been bashed today and from all sorts of sources.....inc The Spectator for example.

 

It feels like a sea change.

Clacton - hear me out.
 

There is a path to keeping Farage out of Parliament, but you won’t like it. However it may be the least worst option. I know the aim is to get rid of as many Tories as possible, but stopping Farage being platformed in Parliament is surely the priority here.

 

If Labour, Dem and Green voters held their nose and tactically voted Tory, that would surely lock the toad out of the seat.

UKIP won the seat in 2015.

 

Not sure there is enough no tory vote to do what you suggest.

 

72.3% Tory in 2019

61.2% Tory in 2017

44.4% UKIP in 2015 - Tories 2nd with 36.7%

 

Sadly the disaffected Tory vote will overwhelmingly go to Farage and I am not sure that the remainder could move the dial even if people could hold their nose and vote Tory.

 

It is an interesting idea though and one that at first glance is easy to answer with 'fuck off voting tory, are you fucking nuts'.....but actually you make a good point about Farage wanting and getting a platform in Parliament.

 

His direction is where the tory party is heading anyway after this election.

It’s the type of place that Jim Davidson would sell out a gig so fuck them.

At 70% though, that could be 35 each. I'm not saying it's likely..I just think it feels there.might be a fight, if, and I realise it's a big if, labour can pull just 10% of those Tory votes.

I reckon if he wins, he will angle to take over the Tories, post election

I do hope so.

 

He'll move them to the extremes and sideline them as a serious election option for a long, long time.

It's the least surprising thing in the history of politics. Remember, these are the same racist bastards who voted Brexit.

Fuck them....sit back and enjoy watching the right wing vote get split and then the civil war in right wing politics and the tory party that will follow.
