You know I wouldn't be surprised if that was due to medication. Not taking SSRIs for a few days makes your body do poo poo like that when you get excited and want to coordinate your body at the same time.

What do you think all the IRA stuff was leading up to? Queenie will be about to enshrine Theresa May as PM, Gerry Adams and 4 SF MPs run in, recite the oath and slap the Queen and May, hoist Corbyn up on their shoulders and begin 100 years of true Irish rule. Jez has been playing the long game.

Shaun and Jen need to bring some better arguments than taking his words and twisting them (good luck if they try and take on Thunderfoot or Styxhexenhammer)

He's wrong on Brexit but hes right on the cancer of Regressive Social Justice

Those who seek to limit and curtail the freedoms of a individual in order to meet their collectivist/marxist aims. Those will use underhanded means to try and destroy ideological opponents while claiming its in the name of equality and tolerance.

How many vulnerable people are going to die from 5 more years of austerity because that prick was too proud to tell a fib.

Both. He got asked about nukes twice from an audience member, then Dimbleby pressed him on it about three times, then a totally different audience member asked the same question again. It dominated quite a lot of the debate.

He didn't have a good answer though, and that's pretty poor considering how likely it was to come up. He should have just said that discussing the circumstances in which the deterrent would be used weakens the deterrent, and just kept repeating that.

Mutually assured destruction is a thing people understand and people don't like to be told, by a man wanting to be their leader, that 'we loving die and the fucks that killed get off scott free lol' is in any way a plan.

The thing people aren't realising is how much of a get-out against voting for him Corbyn just served up. All those people possibly considering Labour because their kids are eloquently arguing for him? loving lost, because 'got to keep my family safe, they'll understand one day' just overwrote housing, living standards, secure employment and every other, actually relevant, issue that their children will have to face.

100% truth here, late afternoon today I went out with my dad and my dog to a corner where local Labour people met us and we went canvassing for a few hours and I feel like a mug for doing it if Corbs is going to throw the loving election like that. How dare he take the position of the one person who can stop May and pull that shite.

It's ok to think Corbyn should put principles before giving a satisfactory answer about the use of nuclear weapons, but understand that this is part of the reason why he won't become prime minister.

You can't have it both ways.

Agreeing with Pissflaps which is always a bit weird.

Same logic with Tim Farron and homosexuality really; they believe something really at odds with public opinion and they get major flak for it. Difference of their objections is Jeremy isn't going to kill millions and Tim is denying humans the freedom to be happy.

I think the IRA and Nuke stuff isn't a big deal because nobody thinks we're ever going to actually use a Nuke or be invaded and the IRA has been defunct so long there's people voting this time who don't even know who they are.

Immigration, Wages and Healthcare is something people give a poo poo about in an election and matters. If we go into the final stretch hammering them on the Income Tax rise, while they're talking about Trident and the IRA that's fine by me. People give a poo poo about only one of those things.

note that this may subject you to a fine, a prison term, and in addition, your vote may be invalidated if the EC can connect your tweeted photo and your ballot (if, e.g., you photographed the ballot number)

goddamnedtwisto posted:

Taking a picture of your ballot or obtaining some other proof of the way you voted is normally associated with people selling their votes or being otherwise coerced into voting, so yes it should absolutely invalidate your vote.

Hmm, I wonder if there's any way we can convince Tories to post pics of their ballots on social media to "prevent the loony lefties stealing the election"?
