I agree wholeheartedly Brian, if it wasnt as you say, I'd have been out of here ages ago. I do have to say though that whilst sometimes I nod and agree with some posts I'd have disagreed with in the past I have not thought that any persons contrary opinion to mine has come close to changing my voting intentions and has probably hardened my view on Brexit.

What would be the point of us agreeing with them anyway. We would all be wrong then 😂

BBC fact checked his comments. Basically he was talking crap. What he said and what is fact don't go hand in hand.
That said I watched the interview and Andrew Marr did nothing but interrupt. Missed opportunity me finks.
 
Hi, I'm really fed up with it all, but you lot seem fairly interested in it all. I've got a question. It was mentioned in the ITV debate that the "no deal" thing could still be on? Is this still possible?
 
Oh and why have the libs got a right whiner as a leader at the time when the country hates both the main party leaders. Mistake......BIG MISTAKE !!! HUGE !!!!
 
We had a leaflet from the Conservative and unionist party though the door today, not a single policy, all it is is slagging off the SNP, Labour and the Libs...

Yes. Not at the next stage, if the Conservatives win and he passes his deal then we go into a transition period where everything remains the same. If at the end of the transition period there is no trade deal agreed then we are back to no deal again. It is unlikely but possible. (I may be out slightly on this but it is along those lines)

I didn't see the interview and so I asked Doon what the 4 blatant lies were

We had 2 similar through our door Saturday one was from Labour and the other from Brexit Party. Im of the opinion this is the most childish fought GE ever known and every party is doing the same instead of focusing on their policies and what they're going to do, they're in fact just mud slinging at each other like kids in a playground. It's not politics but merely who can belittle each other the most and I'm not biased in that as I think each party is a bad as each other this time round. They all need better leaderships.

I also think we are all also partly culpable as we accept what is said by many biased sources or refer back to what happened years, or in some cases decades ago, when deciding who deserves our vote. The parties have changed a lot in recent years, arguably more in the last 5 years then in decades before. This has mostly involved swings to the extremes so the parties who many of us would have voted for happily are no longer the same parties.

You could argue actually the main parties do actually have good leaders based on what those parties currently stand for, I suppose the question is how much of that could or should we buy into. And I suppose what is the alternative. I've said it for a long time but tell me what you want to do and what your vision is and I'll listen, start slagging off the other parties and I just switch off as to me it just exposes the paucity of your own ideas. Vote for us as the other party is allegedly crap is just negative reactionary politics and takes us no where IMHO.

This country loves a bit of wine ... I had 2 glasses last night, myself.
But in all seriousness if the whining is about things of relevance and they say they have a solution that is not pie in the sky, then it's well worth a review.

Well four so far, others still being checked.
BTW...can you spell Pinocchio, not allowed to comment on things Boris if you cannot.:love:

I hope he identified himself correctly ... if he starts to lie about that then we really are in trouble.
But you know the Chinese proverb, A man who lies all the time is the same as a man who tells the truth all of the time, but a man who tells lies some of the time and the truth another part of the time cannot be trusted.
