"When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

Ok it's official the Tory manifesto has basically killed off their lead:

quote:

Before the manifesto launches 35% of people thought the Conservative party’s policies seemed well thought-through, 38% did not. A week later only 19% think their policies are well thought-through, 54% do not. Contrast this with the positive impact of Labour’s manifesto. Before their launch only 25% of people thought they had well-thought through policies, now 31% of people do.

I'm guessing this'll be known as the nastiest suicide note in history.

This seat used to be Lib Dem, went Tory in 2015. Might be the #LIBDEMFIGHTBACK is a real thing here. Sad, but I'll take 1 less tory seat, even if it does go to the party of misogynistic homophobes, because at least I know they won't be running the country.

Likewise in West Oxford - lots of Lib Dem placards, no Tory placards. But we'll see if it bears out.

I'm guessing the homophobia remark is to do with Farrons voting history on gay marriage but where is the misogynistic claim from?

In the Sun, so I won't link, but this just happened in the US:

quote:

Man ordered Muslim women off Portland train before slashing the throats of passengers who stepped in to help

A MAN ordered two Muslim women off a Portland train before slashing the throats of passengers who tried to defend them – two men have since died.

He shouted racist slurs at the women on the crowded commuter Metro train in the US on Friday night.

Cops said the man was shouting and raving while directing "anti-Muslim" abuse at the two young women - one of whom was wearing a hijab.

He reportedly told them to "get off the bus" because he "doesn't like Muslims", adding they "don't pay taxes".

Three men tried to defend the women but the man is said to have started stabbing them.

One man died at the scene after the train pulled into Hollywood station at about 5pm.

The other two men were taken to hospital where one of them also died. The third victim is not thought to be suffering from life-threatening injuries.

A witness said the men had their throats cut before the emergency services arrived.

Sergeant Pete Simpson said: "This suspect was on the train and he was yelling and ranting and raving, a lot of different things, including what would be characterised as hate speech or bias language.

"In the midst of his ranting and raving, some people approached him and appeared to try to intervene with his behaviour and some of the people he was yelling at and they were attacked viciously by the suspect.”

One witness said: "By the time we get over here I didn't know that there was already people that got stabbed.
"The only thing that I noticed was one white guy that got stabbed in the neck and he stopped over there and other people helped him to stop the bleeding."

Police said the suspect is now in custody after being arrested and has also suffered minor injuries.

He was described as a white male aged between 20 to 40-years-old.

A candlelit vigil will be held this evening at the transit centre for the victims.
