Some of the proposals in Labour's manifesto examined (albeit with The Guardian's biases but still an informative read).

Why is the press picking up on the LibDems and weed today... I was talking about it last week!

Also... http://www.libdems.org.uk/liberal_democrats_call_for_a_legalised_cannabis_market

Because the press is biased as feck, Corbyn has released a load of great policies and is leading the race, so they have to try and get some support away from labour somehow. It's as obvious as could be. It's brainwashing.

Labour are leading the election race and the MSM are trying to take him down by promoting the Lib Dem's legalisation of cannabis agenda!

Are you trapped in one of these Facebook fake news threads I keep hearing about?

I still can't believe how crap our rail system is. Privatisation of it has not worked for the most part.

The question they should be asking is 7,184 lives, and what has it done for the country, especially the families of all those people?

Besides, I believe Corbyn said he thought the cyprus situation warranted our involvement (likely because we helped create it) as well as attacks on our sovereignty, which would include several others, most notably Northern Ireland and the Falklands.

They class 'Mediterranean refugee crisis' as a war? Do they mean Syria?

Corbyn was asked about any military deployments he'd agreed with since WW2, he said East Timor and the med.

Oh right. Bet the vast majority don't remember half of those listed tbh. Doubt many would disagree with the Berlin airdrop or the Falklands tbh.

 

[Shamwow]

Speaking to the Chatham House thinktank, Mr Corbyn was asked to name a “conflict that British troops have deployed to since the Second World War that you have supported”. The Labour leader replied: “There are deployments - largely through the United Nations, that I think are the right things to do.” He suported out the United Nations’ role in ending the civil wars in East Timor and Cyprus and the “incredible work done by royal marines” to save migrants in the Mediterranean. Mr Corbyn questioned “the legitimacy” of the First World War but viewed the Second World War as a just conflict.

Not according to his own shadow ministers, who said that Corbyn would not have militarily defended the Falklands. And we all know what he thinks about the democratic wishes of its inhabitants in the present.

And while most of us here have criticised Blair over the years, is Sierra Leone something people hold against him? Why does Corbyn disagree with that operation?

Abbott's previously said Sierra Leone was justified, not sure about Corbyn. Think Livingstone is the only one of the bunch to have supported Kosovo.

Wait..are the trying to say with a straight face that that's a bad thing?

Do you disagree?

Do you disagree?

Yes. Labour are miles behind in the polls and I'm not sure when legalising cannabis became a vote winner in the UK!

Then you didn't read what I said. They're not miles away, they are gaining fast.

You can get 49/1 on a Labour overall majority and 27/1 on Labour getting the most seats. What's your tip?

Is that 27/1 still available? Best I see on Oddschecker now is 25/1 at Betfair Exchange. Next best is 20/1 at 32Red and 888, then a couple at 18/1. Betfair Sportsbook is now in to 10/1.

It's now between 40/1 and 25/1 for a Labour majority.

Put 50 quid on labour.

 

[MoBeats]

Wrong on both counts.

Says who? Bbc?

 

[MoBeats]

Just this thread, a cross section of some United supporters, nearly 3-1 labour to Tory. You are brainwashed by mainstream media.

331 votes cast in the poll. Not statistically irrelevant. at. all.

True Jip very true, have also seen twitter polls predicting the oncoming landslide. Corb also clearly has the ability to win over Tories given even you're voting Labour! Evidence seems clear.
