Thing is Corbyns manifesto great as it looks,could not be funded properly, thats a certainty according to financial experts, he has conned people, especially the younger uns, cos he knew damn well he was not going to be elected,

Re: Exit Polls
Cashman I agree but we will never know and like you said he even felt he had no chance really, I voted locally for Graham I don't really feel any of the major parties represent my views completely.

Re: Exit Polls
None represent my views completely shurm, but i regard exit from the corrupt E.U. as paramount to us eventually getting a better life,and the fact we now have a government with no overall majority, makes things a damn site worse.

Yes of course it is my opinion, but it is also backed up by the facts I stated.
I honour and respect the opinions of others.
Graham Jones may be a very pleasant man, but he has done nothing for our borough that instilled confidence.(again,this is just my opinion).
I expected more from him, but then maybe that is my fault.
Perhaps I need to lower my expectations.
As for the press, they are to be taken with a very large pinch of salt...they print stuff that they believe will sell papers and they play to the lowest common denominator.
I do not swallow whole what the popular media tell me...I look further if I want information.

It certainly does and has considerably weakened our bargaining power.
This will delight those in Brussels who would like to toast our hides...and I don't mean with Champagne.

Re: Exit Polls
I have come to the conclusion,theres a lot of dense people!! the Election was called to give the government a stronger hand in Brexit fact. Corbyn changed it to policies,fact. the suckers fell for it, whilst policies are important fact, we needed a strong hand in Brexit to pay for things and eventually get straight, the sensible course was to give government that hand, get sorted and "THEN" vote the torys out if people didn't like the policies.bit difficult for clowns to take the "Long View".

Re: Exit Polls
My view entirely Cashman.
Let the Torys get us out of Europe, a strong Brexit and then I'll get back to being a labour supporter again.

Also they forget the fact that austerity happened cos the last Labour government stupidly left us skint, remember the note they left regarding it as funny?

Re: Exit Polls
Yes, what short memories they have.
I think one of the problems of modern life is that everyone seems to believe they have'rights'.(no one ever mentions responsibility)
They think that they should have everything that everyone else has.
Some of the people who say they are poor still expect to smoke, have a beer, a foreign holiday, but in the next breath they tell us that they cannot afford to buy a house.
Well, forgive me while I wipe the tears from my eyes.
During the time we were newly married we did without many things, we did not have new clothes, holidays or any luxury items...just so that we could save for a house.

Probably the most sensible thing to come out of this whole performance, but I'm pretty damn sure old Tezzy DisMay won't be having any of it!
