Why have you fallen for the Tory spin so easily then?
General Election 2017 | Cabinet reshuffle: Hunt re-appointed Health Secretary for record third time
- Thread starter altodevil
- Start date
lol very droll
From the thread on that first tweet
And on that slideshow they didn't mention May and cabinet also opposed anti-terrorism legislation.
Encouraging, but it doesn't mean and awful lot...

Nice deflection but it's not going to work. May proposed cuts, she was warned it would put further strain on the intelligence services, she ignored it and openly attacked the leaders that warned her. Fortunately she has folk like you that will fight tooth and nail to protect her from even being remotely responsible for stretching resources past breaking point.
Bringing corporation tax back to the same levels as seen in distant past of 2011..
edit: and still in the lower half of all the G20 countries

On a serious note though if you would care to you can easily find years worth of warnings about this very thing and you can equally easily find mountains of stuff about intelligence gathering and community policing.
It's all very well and good saying 'these things fall under the remit of someone other than your local Bobby therefore cuts don't matter' but quite simply virtually no one other than the Tories actually believes that. You're trading in specific knowledge of local communities in favour of mass data collection which few in the intelligence service seem to believe works.
It's telling that most of these people are known to intelligence services from tip offs rather than because of data mining.
Question time starting on bbc1 fallon vs sturgeon
I'd have gone to one near me but it was the morning after the Manchester attack so was cancelled.
And any complaints would almost certainly only be dealt with after the election. Wonderful timing.
Mutually Assured Destruction
The Defence Secretary? Or do you mean Tim Farron?
Farron is talking about haystacks, needles and magnets on QT. Surreal.
i meant farron!I'm never sure how these Corbyn rallies play. People who aren't sure on him seem to sometimes reference the fact that the whole Corbyn movement is a bit culty. Not sure that's dispelled by him addressing the adoring mob chanting his name.
He's more modest that Kinnock's Sheffield rally performance, I guess.

Rather take his word for it, someone thats been in a high ranking position in the police for a long time than the Torys or May who called it fearmongering? and the fecking media who clearly have an agenda against Corbyn.
ZERO MENTION of Corbyn calling out the Saudis? I wonder fecking why.
More police on the streets, more intelligence officers collecting info on those on watchlists can only help. If that attack had happened in a smaller city, the death toll would of been much higher. The police are stretched, NHS is struggling, education is struggling.. EVERY fecking area of the Public sector is struggling.. why vote Tory? They will just keep cutting & help the few, while fecking the many.
Its amusing when Torys condemn terror attacks when they are selling arms to a major funder of terrorism.

He's the king of the metaphor. I just wish someone would explain to him chances of shovelling shit on the end of a shovel while underwater.
Ah thanks, thought you were just calling me mad. Unless it was a cunning double entendre...
vote Lib Dem
This checks out.
Nicola fecked that up, meant to say by us not for us, rather than the other way round
For balance they did report that May and members of her cabinet also opposed major pieces of terror legislation right? After all the BBC is totally nonpolitical.

So JK Rowling spends 2 years banging on about electability and then she goes completely silent during a general election with Labour in with a shout, particularly if her demographic of followers vote in numbers. Hmm.
If Corbyn loses she'll immediately tweet i told you so and then go back to milking the Harry Potter universe dry
Going by an article i read she seems to have a Marmite-esque reputation within the constituency. Although in this case of the above video i don't see why things escalated as they did. Admittedly the camera angle isn't brilliant, so perhaps there was something taking place which we can't see? People appear to be interpreting the food bank remark as her delighting in individual misfortune, which i rather doubt was the intent. Again though, either her voting record or previous statements could be a factor.
Seems like exactly the kind of comment I would expect from a certain strain of Conservative that sees Victorian style charity as preferable to state support
Corbyn visiting Weaver Vale on Wednesday, a local marginal my Mum has done a bit of work in. Never have I seen my Mum and her band of merry men so enthused and pumped.

The Plymouth Herald reports that
"Every time Sheryll rose to speak she was heckled by this group and the lady started to wave a very large pair of pink underwear above her head."

^ Thanks for the info Damien.
Certainly, unacceptable delays in the receipt of benefits have to be addressed. If necessary, DWP offices could be given food vouchers to dispense on an emergency basis. I think we all alluded to the problem during the discussion on here about Hunger in modern Britain. Yet...whether they are charity or government operated, food banks will still be present (if on a smaller scale).

The most ridiculous thing is tory claims Corbyn can't be trusted with the nations security. How many terrorist attacks on British soil this year?
They're just JobCentrePlus Offices now - you can't even chase the ££££ side of things up from them anymore most / sometimes - if your just turning up with a query on a non job interview day, security are known to turn people away, the offices have targets for imposing sanctions on people apparently. Apart from that, it's really good idea.
There used to be things called crisis loans which were repayable from benefit but they were done away with to streamline the system or something. It's all online & by phone now, a lot of the actual claiming process - streamlining again.
Some good ideas, except it isn't either/and obviously, now people can't even pursue an idea of the progress of a claim without inconvenience & cost probably.
But these are just people at the bottom, who gives a feck? And when that attitude spreads, who gives a feck about that either, just people at the bottom, innit.
Cheers. Also found this today - http://www.mediareform.org.uk/blog/bbc-say-papers
The BBC really has clearly failed this election to present a fair and balanced account.

I've voted for Corbyn twice in the leadership contest, so I do like the guy but I'm always surprised how excited he gets people.

I went when I lived there, when he debated Smith.
This is the first time I'm eligible to vote, so I need some help:
There is only 1 question right? Which politician from your constituency you want to represent your district. Is that it?
Also, what's the best time to go out and vote (in order to avoid queues?)

In a basic sense yes, but you should of course be aware of the parties they're representing etc.
