Who Will You Vote For In The Coming General Election?

Another expat who says, do as i say but not as i do, hypocrite !! Why did you leave the UK then ? Too many of the wrong sort eh ?

But hey, you are probably not even a UK national or expat, just one of lifes lonesome trolls, living in a bedsit pimping in Thailand. We will never really know who or what you are cos you keep it all so cleverly under the radar Bats. How cunning you are living this Walter Mitty politico activist nihilistic existence.

I have a few mates like you who work for London Underground. I like all kinds of people see. Im not judgemental. Its like on the buses in 1972 when we hook up in Camden.

Chin chin.

I immigrated to Holland because, just like immigrants to the UK, I was offered a chance somewhere nicer than I came from. So as far as I'm concerned it would be hypocritical not to want my country, England, to be as welcoming as Holland is to me.

Still not sure exactly why you'd use an analogy of three big rough hairy arsed compulsive masturbators crammed into a tiny bedsit when discussing immigration...

To be fair M, Bats has done you there.

Re:

The UK is a very welcoming country to immigrants, prolly more so than Holland. If 'your country' was England you 'emigrated' to holland. Whats so wonderful about Holland ? apart from the lax drug laws. You damn England with faint praise. Again its tuned into a relativistic discussion of pointless semantics.

Enjoy Holland and try contributing a few more bicycle related posts maybe.

you don't emigrate to places, you immigrate to them. You emigrate from places.

What Holland has over England is that it works properly. The roads are smooth and well designed, it's clean, the houses are better built, and the civil service is roughly three hundred times less inept. They're much more technologically advanced than us in all sorts of ways - they make UK self serve tills look ridiculously out of date and even land line phones are fibre optic. There's an oyster card equivalent that covers the whole country and trains are silent double deckers.

Plus every house window has fly screens.

No Bats, check the definition of emigrate. If you leave your old country England and move to Holland, you have emigrated to Holland.

You are almost selling it to me. Had a few lovely Dutch GFs and many wild trips to Amsterdam in my yoof. The grass is always greener as they say. They raise the Worlds happiest children https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.telegr ... dutch/amp/

Id still rather live in the UK.

I had a Dutch girlfriend with inflatable shoes; sadly she popped her clogs.

Stop taking it all so seriously people. It is just the future.

It must be a right hoot round M-Power towers! BANTS! :roll:

Interesting times. It seems there's a realisation that being apathetic about this election, might be somewhat detrimental to the countries future. However, I say "seems" because let's not beat around the bush, not one of us really know how big a turn-out we'll see, let alone what the outcome of the vote is.

It's apparent, that the Tories have over-estimated how apathetic or 'comfortable' the 'great British public' are right now. When someone, a body or group, start attacking others that's usually because they have something to hide or are diverting away from themselves. We can see what those reasons are: a very weak, poorly compiled and articulated manifesto, riddled with holes and un-balanced policies.

As a liberal, I'm certainly not promoting or very happy with theirs by the way. I have some serious reservations over their vision and their leader. And Labours, whilst bold, fairly balanced and reflective of a left wing manifesto (about time - that's what they're meant to be), has some aspects that don't match my values.

I am trying to be balanced (post Brexit and Trump) - like a good liberal should - when I look at what's going on from my limited view. All I want is for a more balanced (have I said that enough?) view of the country and our population. What the Tories have done, what they continue to do and what they would like to do, absolutely does not reflect any sort of balance whatsoever. Their incessant mantra of 'strong and stable' and 'best negotiators' with the EU is one dimensional at best, totally flawed and wrong in reality.

I'm expecting them to win by the way. What I really hope for (other than them losing) is for the alternative views to have a greater share, to build some positive momentum that this - our future - really matters and there are some good solutions to explore.
