I'm still a bit undecided about my vote direction this coming Thursday.(Not really, i know who Im voting for )
I've obviously taken into consideration what I consider to be the following swaying points on the two main parties.
On the one hand the Conservative Boris Johnson is a bit of a rascal with the ladies and can sometimes bend the truth a bit, he’s also a bit posh.

So it’s a tricky one really

FB2019 This why I do not like Corbyn and would never vote for him.

Facebook versus academics leaves only one winner.

The only negative thing about Boris is that he's posh and bit of a rascal? :joker:

We're getting the government we actually deserve on Thursday.

All this concern trolling about the IRA and folks are about to take a huge step backwards to the potential of the troubles starting up again, with Boris' "deal"

Don’t be silly, we’re only allowed to listen to the Jews who don’t like Corbyn, the other ones are all lying!

I haven’t seen much outrage about there being an actual former IRA member in the Tory party, wonder why?

If it wasn’t such a dangerous outlook for the country it would be funny

I think your man will get in tbh,so you can celebrate then, he better do a good job

He won't and there are no polls even suggesting that's a possibility. He's not my man, he's just the only option we have for a more equal society.

The polls are closing in,so anything could happen.

yes and we have plenty examples of equality in communist and marxist states

oh wait

no we dont

It's a pity he isn't a communist then.

Corbyn is more of a democratic socialist, and we have the data that tells us countries aligned with that ideology are the happiest in Europe, such as scandinavia or the nordic states.

Its obvious Corbyn supporters here couldn’t care less about all that Kaz as there hasn’t been a word of criticism regarding his actions. It’s all ‘but what aboutery’ or just ignore, ignore, ignore. Or its all lies, even though there is ample evidence by serious political commentaters to be found if they wish to look for it.
There is a photo of a sick child lying on a hospital floor, which is dreadful, yes, but they are all over it.
Meanwhile there are hundreds of actual dead children lying cold in their graves right now murdered by Corbyn’s terrorist chums who he supported/still supports and they are not given a second thought. Talk about fake compassion, eh? Can people just turn off their consciences when it suits them? A terrible thought.
I’m not a Boris fan, but he’s the only chance of stopping Corbyn and his horrifically worrying mindset and the security risk he poses to the country.

the real security risk is more of those far right wing tories, far right wing PVV here with us, they need to be silenced with their extreme views towards the Islam

those come across as insults to muslims

I'll tell you why. She was an IRA member for a few years in the early 70's, didn't personally kill anyone, wised up when her conscience could no longer tolerate the death and destuction, left the IRA and turned her life around.

Neither did Tony Blair so that makes it alright.

The public will vote and they'll get their just desserts when they choose to vote in the Tories yet again and it will be a bitter meal for them.

I hope you like bankrupting yourselves for basic healthcare needs!

Did I say it was alright? A question was asked and I gave a brief summary of what I know.

When "being photographed with..." makes up part of that stupidity, then how much condemnation do you expect. A lot of us have spoken about his imperfections, but Boris is a posh rascal is a far more nefarious approach. As the troubles in Ireland are such a huge issue, you should be massively opposed to Boris, who will cause a no deal to happen in 2020 - a complete disaster for the peace process.

You may not notice, but people are suffering and dying now, today in this union because of 10 years of tory rule, but still, Corbyn was in a photo. Then you want to talk about turning consciences on and off?

So an actual IRA member is fine and dandy, no issues, but someone having discussions and meetings with IRA members for peace talks is out of line?

Boris is believed to be a huge security risk because of his ties to lebved and his refusal to release the report on russian interference.

Boris has previously had his security clearance revoked by MI6, yet Jez is the security risk? I don’t think so

You know little about N Ireland, my home, if you think Boris is more a threat to it than Corbyn.
But I won't waste my time explaining why, when all you can say about that list is a dismissive wave of the hand with 'Corbyn was in a photo' and calling it all stupidity.
Boris was not PM for the 10 years of Tory rule, he could possibly do things differently. I'm glad that I don't have to vote for either of them here in N.Ireland.
Have your terrorist fanboy Corbyn, I hope you can keep up the blocking out and denial of his continuing fraternising with murderers.

Corbyn didn't have discussions and meetings with the IRA for peace talks. That has been disproved years ago. It was his excuse to cover his ass, nothing more.
There is not one iota of proof, anywhere, and all those in the actual peace talks say Corbyn had nothing to do with it, it fact they say his IRA support hindered peace.
If you can find any proof to the contrary, lets be having it. Good luck.

He wasn't pm but he was a minister. I don't remember him speaking out against universal credit, or voting against all the cuts, or the disabled work assessments.

Corporations and the government have been undertaking terrorism against the people of this country for long enough already, I'd take my chances with a man who talks about helping people over a man who avoids scrutiny wherever possible, and won't release security reports he knows will implicate him before the election.

It's all distraction tactics really, hypocritical distractions tactics given that Liam and Slim have highlighted that Boris is a REAL security risk yet the people screeching about Corbyn are too happy to ignore those very real issues.

It's not about the IRA, anti-semitism or anything else. It's about smearing a party that's a threat to the elite.
