I went to a Labour youth meeting a few weeks ago and most of the members there weren't even old enough to vote, but they clearly knew what they were talking about and what they believed in. If I was 16 I'd probably be pretty insulted at a ~psychologist~ claiming that my babby brain was too stupid to vote. I mean we literally let people with mental disabilities vote

I'm going to hope its a poor choice of words when you go on about "letting" people with mental disabilities vote as part of your argument.

I would definitely have voted at 16 and I think it's a good idea

If I could have voted at 16 my first vote would have been to get the loving BNP out of the council seat they managed to slither their way into rather than for Tony loving Blair (well, for noted oval office Jim Fitzpatrick but basically the same thing) and I'd have probably been considerably less bitter about politics than I've since become.

Lol no, I could have voted for Zombie Attlee every election from then until the end of time and I'd still loving hate the modern political landscape of the UK.

I wish I could've voted at 16. I was a few months too young to vote in the AV Referendum and it really burned me up at the time that the (most outspoken) lad at 6th Form could and he literally believed whatever The Sun & Tories said (i.e. that it was 2 votes and we need to spend the money on ARE BOYS). He later joined the army and also got really into Alex Jones conspiracy stuff.

That's my story.

Also, the Labour manifesto draft owns and is really good.

For personal reasons I ended up not doing a book on the 2015 election but is anyone interested if I did one this year? Predict total seats for the three main parties and the others combined, one point for each seat you're out, winner is the one with least points and gets to pick the charity to which entrants submit a small donation (£5?).

I'm not sure I understand the argument for not taxing under 18s. I know that Americans are big on the "no taxation without representation" for historical reasons, but you don't pay taxes to be allowed to vote (I'm sure the Tories' would be keen on removing the franchise from the unemployed though). You pay taxes for the privilege of living in a society where sewage doesn't flow over the dead bodies lying on the mud track outside your collapsing hovel. In addition, it'd be absurd for a 16 year old child star to make millions in untaxed income, and it'd be likewise silly to allow rich parents to put assets in their children's name as a convenient tax loophole.

Its not agreeing to disagree or whatever, its just tedious to see a 'gently caress off nazi' post every few posts. We get it. Buy them a custom title, ignore them or whatever. I don't want to put on ignore those posters saying gently caress off as, outside of those posts, I value their posts. Or maybe I don't and want to argue with them. But there isn't much arguing with a 'gently caress off nazi oval office'. Yep OK.

So Jess Phillips has broken cover, to give an interview in which she complains about Corbyn, brings up train-gate as evidence of his dishonesty, says the party 'has another fight on it's hands' removing him after the election, and expresses the wish to be leader herself in the future. She also manages to use the words 'bullshit', 'arse' and 'dick' all in one short interview

Once upon a time I was genuinely on the fence about her, but there really is nothing more unappealing in a politician than naked ambition.

She did.

Also just seen Barry Gardiner on Newsnight and he really loves the manifesto.

EDIT: Headlines from the Tory press tomorrow seem to focus on how many 'anonymous Labour sources' hate the manifesto and won't be campaigning on it. If this election actually ends up being remotely close the sheer incandescent rage of the membership towards the PLP is going to be quite something.

Someone at the BBC must have pulled some strings to get an ambulance for having your loving foot run over. I had a colleague in central London collapse at work with excruciating, sudden abdominal pain - she was delirious and could not move or speak and they refused to send an ambulance because she was conscious (just about) and wasn't having a stroke or heart attack. She had to get a loving taxi.

The poll on hunting the fox pretty much mirrors the rural/urban divide. About 80% of english live in urban areas.

They should really devolve the decision about rural cultural stuff like foxhunting to rural people who it actually affects.

Britain's country life is one of the nation's last cultural treasures.

Live animals are better than dead ones.

If you really must kill them for legit reasons then get someone with a license and shoot them. This isn't hard. It's not a "ban on being able to do anything ever again to foxes". It's a ban on "fox hunting". Which means hunting using packs of dogs. It's a very specific thing. You've been told exactly why the hunts are poo poo. They encourage the overbreeding of the foxes. Then claim they're doing needed work hunting them. It's a racket.

Every opinion you have is dogshit. And I'm not giving you the benefit of being a troll because I've seen you posting in other threads and you're equally ridiculous in those.

Why don't they just ban the overbreeding of them if that's the real issue?

And why is it OK for millions of animals a year to live miserable lives and die gruesome deaths just for meat for urbanites, but a handful of foxes cant be killed to maintain a cherished part of rural traditional culture?





is there anything more british?
