    Momentum are all over social media liking sharing and scaring. So i'd be unsurprised to see that's been started by them and pushed.

    Of course it could be genuine, but anything from social media sources, I treat with the same scepticism as something on the front page of the daily hatred, I mean daily mail.

    Think you are slightly obsessed with Momentum I've seen more Green Activists than them kicking around.

    I'm down there on Monday I will wear my flak jacket in case I am accosted walking down Charring Cross Road. And get the pepper spray ready in case they try to radicalise my pint in Chandos.

    Must be doing summat right given the latest polling of voting intentions in London.

    As a keen observer of day to day politics never in my lifetime can I recall the
    Establishment being so absolutely petrified of one single politician ever.

    London is largely pro labour, so not unsurprising

    Still expect it to be a very big tory majority, polling has been miles out the last few elections

    Sadly I too think they will win ( the Tories that is). As stated in one of my previous threads that is because of the Tory's hard core support in the Home Counties , the South East and South West.

    I am hoping that their majority is not so large so as to negate any opposition from Labour, the SNP and other parties who may win seats and vote together if they disagree with any policies that they view as unfair.

    I see Jeremy Corbyn has come out tonight to now pledge that he would defend us in the case of attack although he stopped short of saying exactly how he would do it. Wished he'd been a little more definitive on the Question Time broadcast the other night.
    Tory rags are full of headlines like " May goes Nucleur" . " Shock poll as Tory lead is cut to 1 per cent with just 4 days to go
    as PM rips into Corbyn over chilling refusal to defend the U.K. with Trident" " Corbyn will take us back to the Winter of Discontent" etc. etc. Make no mistake they are absolutely sh*t scared of him.

    All May, Johnson, Rudd and Gove have done during recent broadcasts I've seen is concentrate on Brexit and carry out daily attacks against Jeremy Corbyn instead of selling fully costed policies for a Tory vision for the future of the UK.

    I don't think anyone is scared of him. It's purely a case of them doing what they perceive is the best attack to win the GE. It's the tory smear way, personal attacks with lack of policy and depth. Look at the brutal personal attacks on Miliband and his father.

    And when push comes to shove, I feel a lot of people will get to the voting booth and find it difficult to vote for him. Europe, trident, past links with terror groups (especially in current climate), weakness of potential cabinet (Abbott, McDonnell in particular), combined with the natural UKIP stack on to the tory vote and I cant see any way that Corbyn wins over 100 seats to gain power.
