In My Opinion....!

As some people on here think I don't have one.....!

1. May thought she would get the UKIP vote. In the event two thirds went to labour she only picked up one third. Rather odd really because labour was (supposedly) anti exiting the EU.

2. No evidence that the young vote caused the hung parliament, nor the loss of popular oldie vote either as they aren't enough of the latter with sufficient assets to be worried about loosing them to pay for their care in old age, as most simply rely on the state.

3. I don't like May but nevertheless on a matter of principle I have only ever voted conservative in every single local and general election since the age of majority was lowered from 21 to 18.

4. Corbyn is a prat, always was, and always will be (prat = incompetent / idiot) His ideas to change the world by spend spend spend spend spend is cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo cuckoo land

5. Every time labour have been in power my savings, pension and general wealth have taken a nose dive. I blame Bliar and especially Brown for the £250,000 reduction in my pension fund and won't even mention the effect on our savings.

6. Corbyn is almost 60 seats short of a majority so in my opinion has no chance of forming a government.

7. Europe thinks we are idiots for voting to leave. They are correct.

8. Immigration from Europe is the least of our worries. The biggest drain on our resources and our security is immigration from the Middle East and Indian continent.

9. Trident, nuclear power and HS2 are a good for the economy as will will create tens of thousands of multi skilled jobs.

10. Rollo, bless him, has been there, worn the T shirt, etc..

In My Opinion.....!

Well listening to the speeches today,,,,,Corbyn seems to have hid his venom towards Mrs May,but snakes have a habit of striking when least expected,

The Speaker seemed to bask in all the adoration., :-D.


N I speaker gave a good as a wink to a nod,,,,,,which direction not too sure on that.as he didnt give eye to eye contact.

everyone else just grunted and nodded,,,,,,,,including our local MP who lives just a few roads a way,,,maybe he'll get eggs on his windows for sitting there like a lame duck wasting his time . ;-) :-D :-D :-D.

Blur is OK but with such songs such as "Park Life" they sound like a tribute band to "Madness". In any case I am getting on a bit for boy bands.

That said last Thursday evening in an old trad pub full of people from 14 to a century we were asked to belt out "Our House" no less than three times for the crinklies. Some were even crying. Someone nicked my bowler and then had the nerve to ask me to sign it. He was 14 so I did.

Most of the Mps and their retinues spend too much time watching box sets of "the West Wing" and "House of Cards". They should get out more.

Thought not Rollo, if you can't explain it or apologise don't try and insult people.

Blur is a bit like Madness but I think the group's songs have some good intros.

The UK elections cannot be hacked cos they don't use computers our elections are hand made productions. Fraud related to postal voting has been sorted.

I cannot see that changing can you?

Caroline I have not got the foggiest what you are talking about.

OMG, Sue. Does anyone think they're in danger of waking Russia by taking ex-Iron Curtain countries on? I can hardly bring myself to think about the consequences.

I think they'd be wise to tread warily.

Well there's proof you never bother reading anyone actual comments and questions then isn't it Rollo.
Before you erased all your comments from yesterday; bar one; on pages 5 and 6 I asked you to explain your jibes at me both of which were uncalled for and unfounded.

John McDonnell (sp?) is trying to get a million protesters on to the streets to demand that Mrs May resign, and that we have another election. If she does, will they castigate her for a U turn?
