That doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.

Oh dear.The OP was discussing the possibility of snow causing a problem with the senior citizen vote.Snow consists of snowflakes.Most EU luvvies are 'snowflakes'.Has it started to impinge on that blubbery lump mixed with air between your ears yet?If not,then you must be Watford zero answers.

If Corbyn ends up Prime Minister it will be the political equivalent of coming back from a 3-0 half-time deficit to win 4-3 courtesy of four own goals. Right now the Tories are up 3-2.

And Farage left early thinking it was all over...

I think they subbed him off at the break for Matt Hancock. I don't think the crowd of 50,000 (nurses) were too impressed.

I like how you've decided to try and assert this as some sort of fact rather than just a load of gibberish.

Look pretty white to me.I give you-The New EU Commission.

If you have to explain a joke, then it wasn't funny. If you have to laugh at your own joke then it also wasn't funny. Since you did both I'm going to declare your "joke" not funny.

The day after the Tories launched their thin, risk-free manifesto and Farage stood down over 300 candidates earmarked to contest Tory seats I thought that was that - a GE win for Boris, but I have to say I'm staggered at how history is repeating itself and the Tories are making the same mistakes of 2 years ago.

Endless repetition of the slogan - Strong and stable / Get Brexit Done, ducking leader's debates - Climate change on Channel 4 AND Boris vs Andrew Neil. However, alienating national treasure Sir David Attenborough on climate change and being condemned by the parents of the lad that died in the London Bridge terrorist incident for politicising the circumstances of his death are quite remarkable.

If Corbyn ends up Prime Minister it will be the political equivalent of coming back from a 3-0 half-time deficit to win 4-3 courtesy of four own goals. Right now the Tories are up 3-2.

Have a look at the following - https://yougov.co.uk/uk-general-election-2019/, Yougov suggesting Tories will get 68 more seats than all the other parties added together!

The Tories have more support on NSC than a normal section of society. This has a lot to do with the mods refusing to deal with right wing extremism on here and making it safe space for them. Don't be fooled, most normal people abhor Boris.

You've seen the national polls I assume ? I guess you think [MENTION=616]Guinness Boy[/MENTION] runs the national polls as well ? :facepalm:

I'm aware of that poll, just as I'm aware of other polls that paint a closer picture.

I'm not saying the Tories won't win, but they don't seem to learn from past mistakes. As a party they've gone 'all in' on Brexit, if it goes tits up then God help them.

Almost certainly there are voters who will back Boris and then go on to lose their jobs, voters who could have taken a chance with Corbyn's socialist utopia. Low risk for them but potentially high reward. Binned - in favour of "getting Brexit done".

The pressure on the Labour party seems to be showing.

Coburn upset McDonald and Corbyn faced apologising about the rife anti-semantics within the labour party reluctantly.

Even little old cuddly dog-loving softy Schofield can rile Corbyn, and he calls himself a party leader.

Can you imagine Corbyn leading this country through Brexit and beyond, without debt spiralling out of control and keeping us all safe?

.... which of course won't be happening anytime soon.
When will they ever learn?

Putting aside 2Ps strange definition of 'snowflakes', do you not find it slightly worrying that the EU Commission doesn't seem to represent a cross section of society ? Just the white elite ?
