Which poll? The yougov one noone I know has ever taken part in that's never wrong?

Or the more realistic one in the bookies?

I've been a gambling man all my years.

 

Ask the Bookies how they got on with the Referendum, or Trump being the boss of America.

 

There are plenty of polls to view

Corbyn didn't have figures at hand and it's a big thing. Cameron actually left his kid in a pub and it was laughed off.

These things happen. if only the Cameron's could have afforded a baby sitter, none of this would have happened.

Reliable team behind her:lol:. Is that why she's falling in the Polls?

 

You're having a laugh mate.

 

Define falling?

The gap may have changed slightly, but there is no way that the people of our country will hand the reins to a former IRA supporter that has no real support from his own party, thinks that money grows on trees and will get us crucified in Europe! He has no desire to control immigration which was ultimately why the majority of the public voted for Brexit in the first instance!

There are two groups of people in this country when it comes to money - givers and takers! The Labour party supports and relies on the takers for votes. Unfortunately though, if we continue to support takers, they will become the majority and that is when we will be in a world of shite, as the givers will all leave and there will be nobody left to take from! The Conservatives restrict the takers which is clearly upsetting to the 'great unwashed', even to the point where some of them have found it now more financially viable to go and get a job! Guess what? Unemployment levels have fallen and there are less people on the take. Benefits are essential to support those that really need them, but it should not become a lifestyle choice as Labour would intend. Many immigrants are essential to the future of our country, and they should be made most welcome. Sadly though, a huge amount are here as we are a 'cash cow' with free housing and health care. It is they that are crippling our NHS and schools and housing market. How many Brits found the urge to migrate to Romania to benefit from their healthcare and job seakers allowance whilst pickpocketing on the local underground? Less than one!!!!

Great Britain is no longer Great and currently has no spine. It's time we became Great again and there is only one party that is even close to being able to achieve that. It is NOT Labour!!

I'm not too sure your opinion means very much on this site anymore.

 

No one is saying Theresa May is brilliant. However I think she's the best potential leader that we have to run the country.

 

The next 5 years are going to be tough in the UK. We're going to have more terrorist attacks and we're going to have to negotiate with the EU. I just don't think Corbyn is up the task of leading the country....

 

Let's be honest, Corbyn doesn't even have the respect of most Labour MPs. How many leadership rebellions has he had now? Yet somehow people think he's the messiah and is capable of uniting the country?

The opposition weren't particularly clued up yesterday on Radio four when asked for the cost of the free pre-school places, promised in the manifesto. After scrabbling through it, phoning a friend and sending an email, the presenter finally had to tell enlighten him on the figure:lol:

He admitted he didn't have the figure to hand, said he'd get the correct figure later- result, he was castigated for his honesty and pilloried by our fearless media.

Meanwhile, Philip Hammond, the man allegedly in charge of Britain's economy, underestimates the cost of HS2 by £20 BILLION - result, our fearlessly impartial media and state broadcaster somehow negate to mention this economic howler.

Will still subsidise the railways and they make a profit!

 

Virgin recieved £2.7 Billion in subsidies and still took home a £550m profit. We actually pay 6 times what we did when the railways were nationalised.

 

I not sure I understand profit and loss.

 

If you run a business and at the end of the year your parents gift you a hundred pounds to put into it, are you in profit if you have ten pounds left or are you running at a loss of ninety quid?

If you're promising to spend billions of pounds to improve your popularity at the polls, wouldn't it be prudent to have the figures to hand. It's not like just a few hundred quid, it's a major financial commitment.

 

I guess it isn't quite so important to folk when it's not your own money.

We already pay for the infrastructure, companies like Virgin run trains on it for a profit. The country could be running it's own trains on it for a profit.

Or just maybe she is a good and sensible leader that has better things to be getting on with rather than be drawn into a very one sided debate in front of a very one sided BBC audience? She is also safe in the knowledge that she has a reliable team behind her as well as reliable 'stunt double' that handled herself well in an environment where her only slight support came from UKIP.

Would Corbyn have trusted Abbot to have stood in for him? I think not!

She's probably at home revising for her maths GSCE anyway!

So basically what you're saying is that, as an electorate, we are collectively not worth May's time? I don't know about you but I wouldn't expect to get a job when I was so arrogant as to not turn up for the interview. As for Corbyn turning up and not Diane Abbot, why should he send a substitute when he can(and should) come in? If what I read earlier was right, May would rather hide behind a woman who lost a parent only a couple of days before. Rather sums up her level of compassion.
