Lib Dem/Tory austerity policies have led to 130,000 preventable deaths. FACT.

That's not a fact, that's someone following a trend curve and guessing at a reason the curve flattened.

I’m not sure what to think about the postal vote, I’ve been told that it is open to fraud. I wasn’t aware that you could vote online until I read tinfoilhat’s link and I don’t think I trust that method either.

 

I’m going to cast my vote the old fashioned way by going to the polling station on the day, putting my cross on a piece of paper then putting it in the box, come rain, snow or sunshine.

 

My goodness, the last thing we need is electoral fraud. 

 

Even if I vote tactically I will certainly be at the voting booth whatever the weather. 

 

I'm well aware of the sacrifices the suffragettes and reformers made for women to be able to vote in the early last century, and I feel all of us should vote if possible, while ever we have the freedom to do so.

But they won't be reported in the press. Corbyn eats something "a bit funny", front page news, and that's before Dom and his social media friends have a go.

The BBC are doing a brilliant job of finding people who are willing to say “I voted remain, but Boris is the man for me”

 

They must have a cupboard full of rentaquote Tory “remainers”

This election should send the clear message:

 

£Billionaires OUT of Britain!

 

9 out of 10 £Billionaires support the pro-austerity EU. 

 

£Billionaires not welcome here!

It is already being sold. Bit by bit.

I noticed a few of those.

 

It reminds me of the BBC reporter during the Grunwick strike in 1976. The reporter asked one of the strikers “How solid is support for this strike?” “99%!” came the answer. “Do you know where we can find the 1% so we can interview them?” replied the BBC reporter.

 

Anyone who doesn’t accept that the BBC is conservative with a small ‘c’ is fooling themselves. I wonder if David Dimbleby is doing the election night coverage this year. He really struggles to contain his delight when the Conservatives do well.

I don't pay tax on over half of my income, I understand billionaires pay a lot of tax, even if it could be a slightly higher percentage of their wealth.

[Car Boot 10]

£Billionaires pay a lower rate of tax than their cleaners...
