You heard of a thing called NATO, right?

I have, right!

We are a nuclear weapon state and need to stay that way.

Even if we're not, we're not likely to be nuked. It's such an out there thing to bring up.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on that. We live in a dangerous world, getting more so by the day, it wouldn't be a wise move to get rid of our nuclear weapons in my opinion.

You're on fire today

I don't think any party leader is promising the earth.
Labour are talking about housing,all parties agree we need a great deal more.
Labour's promised a Ł10 minimum wage,the Tories plan increases to that too,the extra added on as to Labour's plans will hardly break any bank.
Labour has promised 10,000 more Police officers,which tge Police want and would like more.
That will be paid for out of capital gains tax changes.
Estimated at over 2 billion.
It doesn't look to me like any reckless moves at all.
However let's be fair and see what is in the manifestos of all the parties, and see the full costings included then.

Very little really is being promised in reality thus far and all the things Labour is promising are badly needed.

I only wish Labour,or any other party would now take the dive into deeper waters and promise to ensure the NHS remains the service as it was intended.
Stating they will look at raising taxes to ensure that too.
Rather than allow the Cons to continue just running the NHS down and doing next to nothing really positive with it.

Except to demoralise and be confrontational towards just about all the staff working in the NHS.

Capital gains tax, that's where it's coming from.

As for promising the earth any news yet on what mays 'strong and stable' govt will consist of? That's when she decides to magically reappear from under her rock.

oooh...

Several whistleblowers have made explosive new allegations about Conservative election fraud. Speaking to The Canary, they claim the market research company they worked for started telephone polling for the Conservatives’ election campaign in November 2014 and continued up until the day of the general election in May 2015. The Canary has seen internal email evidence that appears to confirm those dates. But the Conservative Party appears to have only declared spending for work carried out by the company between March and May 2015.

Failure to properly declare election expenses is illegal.

The whistleblowers also say that the company conducted a separate, “secret” campaign for the Conservative Party. In that campaign, they called voters in key marginal constituencies “on behalf of David Cameron’s campaign” and asked them to volunteer for their local Conservative candidates. This raises serious questions about whether some of this work should have been declared by local candidates in targeted constituencies.

Yeah, yeah, all unproven claims jumped on by a left wing rag who are trying to present it as fact for obvious reasons. No scruples.

If it wasn't 'legit' then there would be a legal issue wouldn't there posting it?...but there it is.

Who even is that idiot? Why are you expecting anyone to listen to his rantings?

Weird.

[Brillopad]

Won't be watching the BBCs coverage of the election anymore - talk about bias. That vile political correspondent Laura ? Had an ugly permanent sneer on her face punctuated by constant sarcasm and undermining comments of May. Repulsive woman. Not very professional in my opinion.

She was totally nausiating.

Aye, but to be fair, that is her interview manner, no matter who she is interviewing.
I think her sneer is more down to her facial expression, she has a bit of a lop sided look about her when she gets going.

That's funny, because she's often (quite rightly) criticised for her blatant disdain towards Corbyn.

Your post is therefore in fact evidence of the BBC's ability to remain largely impartial. And, since I do so every year, I'll take this opportunity to point out that their election night coverage is far and away better than any other broadcaster.

For someone who doesn't support a party you are doing a great impression of being a Tory
