    I can't help but think that you have chosen your user name after the sound that echoes in your head when you blink your eyes.

    When his dad was on I'm a Celebrity, he was surprised to find that all children didn't go to private school.

    To be fair to Johnson, he had no choice in his schooling. However, he also appears to have no input into where his unknown number of kids go to school...

    So you also think both labour and tories are a bunch of take, take, take self serving thieves.
    Refreshing to hear someone else sees it as it is

    Labour are trying to stop the Cons playing fast and loose with our country’s future. Johnson’s ‘no deal’ Brexit con where his financial friends stand to make £billions off the backs of British workers. Labour have already agreed a deal in principle to leave the EU with the EU that protects workers rights and environmental standards, which would be put to a public vote but we’re not in government yet so we have to stop the Cons from crashing us out at all costs as this would devastate our economy and the lives of our most vulnerable.

    No I don’t. what a stupid fecking thing to say. The Tories cut our council budget by 40% the highest in the country. They continue to bestow vindictive and nasty politics Upon us, yet see fit to give their rich friends and backers tax cuts. They care only about the upper echelons of society and pillock ordinary folk into voting for them. The last 3 years alone should be enough to see that all this mess is about Tory infighting and self preservation for career aspirations. Hate is a very strong word, but I have no reservations about using it to describe how I feel about the Tories. People in these parts considering changing their vote to Tories or Brexit party are fecking thick

    Sadly not the preserve of one single party. compare with Peter mandelson holidaying on Oleg derapaskas yacht a couple of months before cutting his company a sweetheart deal for aluminium imports into the EU when he was trade commissioner??

    Hi Marlon. You are right except as the post below points out they are the only mainstream party with a version at all, despite labour manifesto at last election promising to deliver brexit now doing a flip flop. I think the problem is that if all the remainers in what could be perceived as the liberal elite overthrow the referendum result, what demons could be unleashed? We don't have a history of the far right or the far left in this country gaining traction thank god. But disenchanted voters without a home make easy recruits for extremists. I personally think Corbyn is a leaver. There are left wing reasons for leaving he hasn't propounded. He should have done and left his party a free vote reinforcing it's broad church doctrine. However what drives him is creating chaos as the only way to usher in a socialist government the public would otherwise never vote for.

    Corbyn is a leaver but the rhetoric coming out of the leadership including Keir Starmer imo is if certain guarantees for workers rights etc are adressed the the whip will be eased from the labour leave MPs clearing a path for the first stages of leaving.
    I must say though where is the national disgust that once again the Tory’s give a low priority on workers rights which mostly the low laid rely on.
    Everyone’s snarling and sneering at the Labour Party and only they are once again fighting for the working class .
    It’s a crying shame people refuse to condemn the Tories callous disregard for the weakest in our society .
    Shame on them .

    I really hope we get a full tory majority government, because as per their record, they'll continue to shaft the North and the poor - and they can get it both barrels, as the old Turkish proverb goes:-

    "The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe as its handle was made of wood and they thought it was one of them."

    Corbyn obeys the rules and you still get irate! Love it.
    Socialist policies and principles. This isn’t America.

    The Italian philosopher and author, Umberto Eco, wrote of 14 common features of fascism.

    http://www.openculture.com/2016/11/...ist-of-the-14-common-features-of-fascism.html

    Of these, the Leave campaign led by the current PM and his cabinet and the current government currently tick 8 of the 14 boxes. The extremists are already here, and in govt.

    Check how many of the 'common features of fascism' are already alive and well in the EU.
