Tillson - although I disagree with you about Brexit, I am with you all the way on this. I don't think that I have felt so disillusioned since the election of Margaret Thatcher in 1979. Oddly, I think I have just 'got' what Jeremy Corbyn is about. Here we have someone who generally turns the other cheek to personal insults, does not insult or name call other politicians & aims to redress the balance regarding those less well off by asking (making) those who can afford it to make a bigger contribution to social & healthcare. All in my view a very sensible policy. Added to this, you've got someone who states that he would not push the nuclear button (which suggests a level of sanity) & is forgiving of those that err from the path (Diane Abbott). Oh...and on top of this he seems genuinely relaxed in the company of children & has the inititials "JC".

Interesting, then that he is vilified by the popular press & it seems is now being proposed by Kevin McKenzie for the modern equivalent of crucifiction.

The last comment aside, which I would have liked to have frivolous but isn't...It says something about our society that someone who seems to genuinely wants a better society is attacked in the personal way that he is.
My last comment is that I have yet to see any real questioning about TM's safe and stable leadership- the flipside of which is rigid and inflexible.

Maybe as OldTom says...it is time for a revolution.

I wish I could give nine more "Agrees" to your post.

I don't think this will be covered heavily by the mainstream media which tends to avoid reporting this kind of thing or merely touches upon it, adding a barrowload of spin.

Thanks to the web blog, 'The Canary' for this:

From the horses mouth.



I'm not a fan of sharing stuff from the Canary, its almost as bad as the Daily Mail but on the other side of the fence.

From the FB page of the web blogger, 'The Canary', today:

ATTENTION READERS: MAJOR EXCLUSIVE TO BE RELEASED AT 1800hrs TODAY

Over the last 14 months, The Canary has been running a major investigation into allegations of election expenses fraud against the Conservative party. This evening, we will publish our findings. We will need your help to make sure this evidence is shared to every voter in the UK. So be ready at 6pm.

I can't imagine what is going to appear at 1800hrs but I'd have preferred if the Met police were making an announcement today about electoral expenses fraud - that really would be interesting!

Tom

Mad May had this in the Daily Mail
"Stay out of our election! Theresa May launches extraordinary assault accusing Brussels of 'threats and misrepresentation' in bid by Eurocrats to skew the British general election

Now why would they want to do that? if she fails to get elected someone with a Brain maybe will, and why would they be afraid of her?
Clearly the message is meant to be that they are....
Can we have someone SENSIBLE to represent us please?

i think we should have a memorial plaque engraved

"After 15 thousand and Forty Seven Posts the assembled multitude finally agreed unanimously about something!"

My Goodness! you could get better odds on Jeremy Corbyn being elected Prime Minister than that, any day!:cool:

She,s abdicating.. Handing over to Charlie...
Or she,s planning to stand in election. She,d walk in...get my vote over May, Corbyn or Farron. Perhaps time to abandon democracy ( if we,ve ever trully had it) and return to Aristocracy...not a bad idea..(she,s a brexiteer aswell,)
