Is everyone here planning on voting?
No point for me what with Diane’s 35k majority. But will see who’s on the ballot.

Well we talking about “an islamophobia scare” which isn’t the same thing as islamophobia.
This is true - and as you say, hard to disagree, if you think people shouldn't be pushed around and treated like shit.
But it points to a kind of have-your-cake-and-eat-it attitude I've noticed among a lot of Corbynites. On the one hand, the fact that Corbyn has always supported the world's underdogs is a huge part of his appeal, and a vital aspect of that is his support for oppressed people's right to use violence against their oppressors. The power-sharing agreement in Northern Ireland didn't come about because Gerry Adams is really good at organising petitions, after all. So if Corbyn supports the IRA (which he does), and if the IRA are terrorists (which they are), then the unavoidable conclusion of the syllogism is that Corbyn supports terrorism.
On the other hand, Corbynites also want it to be a lie, a slander, a grotesque calumny, when anyone actually says "Corbyn supports terrorists."
So with respect to subvert47, it's in large part for reasons like this that I call it a cult.
it's always "Jeremy campaigned passionately for Remain!". I've had people tell me with a straight face that the idea that Corbyn is pro-Brexit is a "Blairite smear", rather than, you know, a demonstrable fact.
Most people have a rule here about refusing to talk politics with Mr Tea. I suggest you join us and take the oath.
And, with no respect whatsoever, in doing so you make yourself seem like a total moron.
Another thing about cults is that people in them develop such a strong emotional attachment to the cult-object that any criticism of it is read as a personal attack on them and is liable to trigger childish insults in return.

Talk to him about wild mushrooms, the large hadron collider, resturaunts in Exeter, real ale, casseroles, HP Lovecraft, HP sauce, but never politics. It's best for everyone.
Ok mate whatever you say good luck finding someone to have a fight with.
LONDON (Reuters) - Nigel Farage, the leader of Britain’s upstart Brexit Party, said on Sunday he would not stand in next month’s election, choosing instead to campaign countrywide against Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s EU divorce deal.
“I have thought very hard about this: How do I serve the cause of Brexit best?” he told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show.
“Do I find a seat and try to get myself into parliament or do I serve the cause better traversing the length and breadth of the United Kingdom supporting 600 candidates, and I’ve decided the latter course is the right one.”
To quote padraig, come off it. You can't strike this Mr Social Justice pose while at the same time saying "there's not that many Jews so they'll just have to suck it up for the greater good" and pretending not to understand the difference between criticising Israel and being mates with Hamas.
Well, I mean you can, clearly. But I'm going to tell you you're full of shit. I don't care if you don't agree with me, but this dishonesty is annoying.
You spent all yesterday desperately searching for a fight. Something comical about your desperation.
Downing Street has effectively blocked the publication of a potentially explosive parliamentary report on the security threat that Russia poses to the UK until after the general election.
The 50-page document from the intelligence and security committee examines allegations that Kremlin-sponsored activity distorted the result of the 2016 EU referendum, but has to be cleared by No 10 before it can be released.
Downing Street indicated on Monday that it would not approve publication before parliament is dissolved on Tuesday evening, meaning that it cannot now appear before the election on 12 December.
The committee’s report is understood to examine allegations that Russian money has flowed into British politics in general and the Conservative party in particular. It also features claims that Russia launched a major influence operation in 2016 in support of Brexit.
