Re: General Election called
So how many of the 95% will understand that even though GJ thinks that they know nothing will still vote for him.
I am proud to be one of the 95% because he rates only 5% have the same ideas/knowledge/intelligence that he does - that is certainly one brush that I don't want to be tarred with.
I will vote Tory, not quite purely and simply because there is no alternative way of achieving a sensible Brexit, but also because our current representative has such a low opinion of the intelligence level of his constituents.

Re: General Election called
I welcome this latest general election, we can look forward to Gormless Jones back pedalling like mad telling us how well he 'served' our needs, then we can vote for anyone/anything else that might help us rid ourselves of this self serving boil on the arse of democracy.
Maybe even labour will get rid of him and put someone else forward?
Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Sorry, perhaps rather than labour, I should have said NEW Labour, If, Oh, if only IF we could have a real representative of the Labour party and not some Blaire
wanna be clone?

Re: General Election called
Supporters of the Labour Party will be looking forward to the forthcoming election because when Labour are comprehensively beaten, it will easier to get rid of that sorry excuse for a politician, Jeremy Corbyn.
I will be voting Conservative.

Re: General Election called
who says all the labourites are looking forward to this election ... I actually am not .. do I really need all hell let loose for the next 7 and a bit weeks and for whatever comes afterwards ...
and really if you think about what will happen is Scotland will go over the snp .. to the ginger krankie .. and then it will be all about independence for Scotland .... gawd help us for northern Ireland .. if that all kicks off again ...

Re: General Election called
I am never filled with joy at the thought of a general election.
In most recent times it has left me scribbling things onto the ballot paper as I have deemed all the candidates as 'not fit to run a jumble sale'.
My last foray saw me putting my precious X in GJ's box.
I think Theresa May has done exactly the right thing. So many people have sniped at her saying 'this was not on the manifesto'(since when did ANY politician care what was on the political manifesto).
She will be able to determine a new manifesto and the people will get to decide if they like what she is proposing.
I haven't got a clue who I will be voting for. I only know that I will definitely , most certainly, over my dead body, NOT vote for GJ.

He made a comment that alluded to the intelligence of 95% of the Hyndburn electorate when it came to voting on a referendum over the EU.
He plainly thought we were not in possession of enough brain power to sort the wheat from the chaff(or at least that is how I remember it) on this issue...it was insulting and patronising...he clearly thought we should let the elite(those elected by us...with no power of critical thought) decide such a momentous issue.

Re: General Election called
And when we have put the Tories back in power with an increased majority and with most of them being pro Europe do we then get a second referendum
