This is extremely rude and NSFW but extremely funny. And true. IMHO.

I particularly enjoyed Ian's deluded optimism...
Ian McCubbin says:
I agree with all you say and it will give SNP a mandate for declaring Scotland independent.

I've googled this and the changes won't be in for this election. The aim was to consult and confirm the changes in 2018 so that the changes were ready for the 2020 election. This has come too soon.

I've no idea how any of this works but will this have any effect in the dollar rate? I'm going to America in June and obviously want as much for my £s as possible.

If the other parties had accepted the will of the public in the vote to leave the European Union, then there would be no need for this.

They did, they backed the Government in triggering Article 50, May has a majority, she doesn't need support from other parties.
Her statement is a smokescreen

It is a smokescreen but a hopelessy thin see through smokescreen. Maybe a little honesty wouldn't go amiss as a leader.
She's playing the cards to win herself more power, that's politics and they're all at it on all sides but her word is worth nowt, sneaked into power last year by keeping her head down, power has now gone to her head.
She can't even tell the media in front of No 10 what she's doing without reading words written by someone else.
So hope this all backfires on her. Heading for a one party state soon, unhealthy.
The UK's nett contribution to the EU is about £10 billion a year, which works out to about £200 per taxpayer on average. The General Election by itself will probably cost more than that! At least it will delay the Brexit process by another few weeks. 😀

Drivel? Do the people of Scotland Wales get free prescriptions? Do the young people of Scotland get free university education? (not sure about Wales). In England it cost £8.40 a prescription. In England our young have to pay for university education. Point out what mistakes I have made in these statements?

Keep fighting DelC! Hope your lot take a good few seats back off Cons. LD Brexit stance is bound to help win votes I think. LDs were right about Iraq when no-one listended and they're right about Brexit too. We need people like Vince Cable and David Laws, good politicians, around again.

Lib Dems have taken 5000+ new members in one day since May's forked tongue announcement yesterday. Hopefully a sign of things swinging away from May and towards coalition govt.

I'd argue she is doing this as if not then she will have to hold an election after we have come out of Europe and god knows what the UK will look like then or how the electorate will feel about the tories.
Where as now she is well ahead in the polls and there is not really an effective opposition. The election will mostly be fought on Brexit, but the win will allow her to push ahead with her nasty (IMHO of course) domestic policies including starving schools of any money under the auspices of them becoming 'more efficient'. It will also allow her to make a break with the last Tory manifesto as it seems she does not agree with most of it so she can push ahead with a hard Brexit and her ideological pet projects like grammar schools. Personally I feel it will be a horrible time for the UK under 5 years of relatively hard right Tory rule whilst coming out of Europe, but I appreciate that certain people will will find her strangely exciting as she reminds them of Thatcher.

We have a government and devolution, if Holyrood chooses to make policies for Scotland, that's their and our call. Holyrood doesn't need to answer to Westminster on devolved matters. If you're jealous that's your problem. Japan gets free childcare for everyone, I'm jealous of that as I have to pay a lot (in Scotland) for childcare. Different countries different rules.

And to think the Brexiters moan about the remainers not understanding what a democracy is...
There is a rumour going around that Polling Stations are also sometimes used as schools and community centres! 😂😂😂
