Yes you were, you said I was defending corbyn when I was actually criticising the Conservatives, you said I posted that having corbyn as pm was a fair trade for getting rid of Scotland and Wales when I didn't, I said it was a shame to lose Gibraltar, Northern Ireland and the Falklands but if it meant saying good bye to Wales and Scotland it would be a fair trade, you said I'd claimed all the stories about him and the IRA were fabrication when I hadn't, I'd actually said I knew 2 of the stories were made up including one about him helping an IRA bomber on the run evade capture when the actual truth was he'd phoned the police.
Hammond is the chancellor, the guy in charge of the cash, if anyone should be expected to get the figures right it's him and if anything he should've learnt from Abbott's mistake not copied it, in fact both of them and all other politicians should've learnt from caroline lucas and her car crash house building interview a couple of years back.

Corbyn played a blinder saying he'd attend at the last minute then failed to capitalise on it imo, it was almost as if they agreed to him going and then forgot to brief him

I know it's all political calculation, she doesn't need to do it so why risk it? But it's becoming very grating how little she will do it. I think it's a bit hypocritical to have a go at Corbyn for his mistake, and that was a poor performance from him, but not do it yourself. I also think it undermines the whole strong and stable image and that she will stick it to the EU when she ducks all these interviews and debates.
Her excuse is rather pathetic too. That she is focused on Brexit. She was the one who called the election! To call an election then act as if it's beneath you, or a act of frivolity, to campaign for votes is so contemptuous of the electorate. She is lucky her opposition is Corbyn.
|
She called the election to get 5 more years and used Brexit which every man , woman and his dog know is happening as the reason for calling it.
Frankly that was utter bollocks IMO but the servile sycophantic media won't be peddling that line though as they are just as contemptuous as the politicians running this country as well.

It is not that simple, and you know that. it's what kind of Brexit we get; hard or soft. There is more chance of a hard Brexit with May. In negotiations you have to be prepared to walk away to get the best deal. We know that the EU need to make a deal, given that they sell so much to the UK. Therefore, they will not want us to walk away.

That is what May wants to achieve. That was spelled out in her Brexit speech in January.

Poor timing from the CPS IMO. It's too late for another candidate to be fielded so the Tory candidate in South Thanet will go into the election next week awaiting a court case.

surely timing will be prompted by the evidence gathered

Re: June 8th General Election
CPS are in a bit of a rock / hard place situation though.
If they waited until after the election, then they would have been accused of delaying it for political reasons.

Re: June 8th General Election
Ideally they would have done it weeks ago but yes no timing is perfect.

They are damned if they do and damned if they don't to be perfectly honest.

I bet Nigel is regretting not standing in South Thanet again....
Update
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-40129826
Quote:
Craig Mackinlay, 50, his agent Nathan Gray, 28, and Marion Little a party activist, 62, have each been charged with offences under the Representation of the People Act 1983 and are due to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 4 July 2017.
Nick Vamos, CPS head of special crime, said: "On 18 April we received a file of evidence from Kent Police concerning allegations relating to Conservative Party expenditure during the 2015 General Election campaign. We then asked for additional enquiries to be made in advance of the 11 June statutory time limit by when any charges needed to be authorised.
"Those enquiries have now been completed and we have considered the evidence in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors.
"We have concluded there is sufficient evidence and it is in the public interest to authorise charges against three people."

You're always being one sided Mr K. i.e. not telling the whole story or just telling a part that suits your negative agenda.
JeIRAmy has changed his mind several times. He did a U-Turn on the debate the other night by saying he would now go. He has changed his mind and now wants to leave single market which will end free movement of people. It's also being said he would do a deal with SNP to form a coalition in the event of a hung parliament.
Lots of people think he will ditch Trident if he was to win. Thornberry has said in a tv interview recently that Trident could still be placed under review. That did not go down well with Jezza.
But deary deary me, all these promises, to buy votes. IRAbour will not be able to afford but he will plough us in to a recession either way. Because if he wins, companies are being hit with a double whammy, increases in Corporation Tax and being forced to pay workers £10 an hour.
