Please don't equate ScotLab branch office with the real thing. Look at the size of JC's rallies; when was the last time you saw people of that number show up for political rallies? How many does the supposedly popular May turn out? Absolutely. I like him and the Labour manifesto is exciting. I won't be voting for him though - England has to do that and if they do, then like any normal country there could well be a progressive coalition. The recent polls over the past few days showing Labour getting to and within single digits are exciting and hopefully Corbyn can go on and close the gap further. I'm stuck in two minds though - the media will now spin this in to a a hung-parliament etc so get out and vote Tory ; but the 2 million new registered voters and I don't think Labour will do as badly in their 'heartlands' as some journos were predicting at the start along with some hopefully stay at home OAPs will balance it all out. Feck knows though. One thing though, the Lib Dems are having a disaster and I'd love to see them wiped out. The Tories - you know what you get with them and I don't like them, but there's something just awful about the Dems that I cannot abide. Power-hungry, weark-willed, and lots of other double-descriptive things to say about them and their MPs, but I'll shut up for noo.

Even though he has alienated most SNP members with his pish views on Scottish Independence i believe most of us want the rest of the UK to vote for Corbyn Labour - the alternative being far worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I'm pretty sure I heard Kezia Dugdale on the radio this morning saying the election shouldn't be about the constitution, then in the next breath say her mission was to say no to independence. Maybe if there's a Labour surge she'll change her tune and start attacking the Tories more, as she may need to rely on the SNP to help keep a May majority down.

Third Lanark Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I think in the not too distant he would listen to calls for indy 2; I do not think he is doctrinally opposed to indy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thplinth Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 I see this as a test of the electorate in the UK. Corbyn should do better than expected. An honest principled man who his whole political life stuck by his core beliefs no matter how out of fashion and someone who does not seem to have a corrupt bone in his body.... so May landslide then. Hope not but we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 (edited) Alex Massie has been at it again in the Spectator. SNP seemingly are on the brink of collapse and Scotland is gradually returning to the good old Caledonian Conservatives Nick Cohen also has the most ridiculously and childishly petty anti-Corbyn article in it as well.

hampden_loon2878 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 At the risk of sounding anti english but why are about half the questions asked by someone whi sounds like they are from south of the border, always foind it strange the strong presence of our anglo cousins in the audience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Most biased debate since the last time ? BBC Scotland go a wee step further ? Same Conservative plant in audience that was on Question Time the other week ? Concentrate on devolved issues rather than the GE ? Never watched as i predicted it would be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariokempes56 Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 As others have said elsewhere – the BBC simply do not care about how obvious the bias is now – another plant ? So what they think – who is going to do anything about it ? Sickening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Bongo Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Not just another plant The wife of the Tory councillor that got almost 5 minutes of airtime on Question Time The same wife that is a Nurse but works for BUPA rather than the NHS She also gets 5 minutes of back and forth airtime rubbishing the Scottish NHS Beyond a joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest flumax Posted May 21, 2017 Share Posted May 21, 2017 Terrible leader debate. Completely off topic. Looking forward to the next episode of off the ball... Think I'll phone in and give my views on the new Alien movie. I expect they'll let me speak at length. Only Harvey had it in him to say that's devolved, it's a general election, let's talk about that. Pathetic by Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
