My cousin's entire downstairs was under a foot of water for about a week(it's still nowhere near drying out) and she was given £200 by the government, and later another £150 from a charity collection for flood victims). That’s shocking. Apparently you can ask for a grant of up to £5000. So nice of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â The Tories turned the story from Johnson being frit, to Michael Gove not being allowed into the debate. Â The Tories are running a despicably low-rent campaign, but it's working.

I know we need to take the various polls run with a pinch of salt, but the Mail have a story up about how the Tories had a majority of over 80 seats last week, and now it's down to 12. If true, there is a lot of parallels to the way May through away what many felt was a nailed on majority.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members quote the raven Posted November 30, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) May lost on dementia tax imo if they chuck it away it will be down to being actually shit not policy issues. The mail was running the whole "dont count on winning still vote" headline my guess is this is more of the same. Im quite happy for a coalition government that includes the Dems, if for no other reason than to reign in some of the more crazy policies from the other two  Edited November 30, 2019 by quote the raven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it this is the wrong place to be. I rather think this election is about who you want to vote against as much as who you want to vote for. I'm seeing a lot more talk about tactical voting than in previous elections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it this is the wrong place to be. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/who-vote-general-election-quiz-20977036 There are plenty of other quizzes like this to help you.  Think about what is the most important issues to you and see who pledges to do what sounds good to you.  When it comes to voting, I think of the most vulnerable person I know and vote for which party that I think will make their lives better.  If you think your life has been made better over the last 9 years by the government, stick with them. I like the public transport analogy.  You know exactly where you want to end up, but there probably isn't a bus going that stops exactly where you want.  So you see which bus gets you closest and you get that one.  If there isn't any buses going near to your destination, then don't get a bus.

I've seen plenty of tweets quoting the video and ridiculing Gove and Johnson. Thousands of likes and retweet etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members BigJag Posted December 1, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 1, 2019 It will be interesting to see whether the social media aspect will galvanise younger voters. Creating a greater turnout from that demographic and overall. If the turnout goes backwards from the 50/60% overall average we've had for the last few elections. Well, then we are in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Thought Marr was excellent this morning, not allowing Boris to free reign and just splutter his catchphrases, and that interview was fairly damning* *Won’t make a blind bit of difference.
