It will be interesting to see if this simply turns back into the Brexit thread.

Apparently Labour will campaign to look after the Working Classes. That's nice for around 14% of the electorate.

Meanwhile the Conservatives will be aiming to reduce the amount of rights given to lower level employees and payments to those on benefits. And of course reduce taxes for the higher paid.

The SNP and Plaid Cymru probably looking to split the UK, with Northern Ireland already looking like it wants to join with the Republic.

And nobody knows why they are voting - is it for the short term Brexit issue or for the longer term of the country.

Urgh

What is working class these days? The lines are blurred. I would call my mates mainly working class but some of them are loaded. Can you still be working class if well off? I guess so.

Basically, it's all a bit more complex than in the past. It really annoys me when you hear people like that woman with teeth like a beaver (Laura Pidcock) saying on the telly just now how the Labour party wants to look after this small sub-group. Can they not look after themselves as well as other groups? Why are they so important? Which decade do these eejits think they live in?

They haven't looked after the likes of us for close to two generations. They are an absolute laughing stock!!

Labour clowns deserve a roasting.

They are the most disgraceful mob ever to be in Parliament.

I have already been contacted by the Conservatives in relation to campaigning for the election, accordingly my presence on HOL will be somewhat limited as I concentrate my efforts in helping my beloved party.

Jo Swinson has her knockers, but I would vote for her.

Some great knockers in fact.

I think she is kind of hot, not gonna lie.

I am off tinder now, Teddy, I am attached to a fine young lady. Actually she is older than me, which is a first.

Kind of miss all that tindering though, it’s like sitting through Simon Jordan’s radio show. It’s pretty irritating at times and sometimes you really get screwed, but when it’s not on you kinda miss it.

Well good luck.
I always rather liked older women until I realised I was about twenty years older than the ones I thought of as older.

Not sure breasts are a great guide to go on politically. Otherwise 'Britain First' would be doing a whole lot better.

Hopefully the Brexit party get enough seats to form a majority for the Torys in a hung parliament.

That's better than a Tory majority for me.

A 'Hung Parliament' would mean more impasse,more dither and delay and the electorate being even more fed-up than they are at the present time.It is because of a 'Hung Parliament' that we have not exited the EU and become the laughing stock around the world.

The polls point to a comfortable Conservative majority at this juncture but maybe it will be closer than the polls currently indicate.We are taking nothing for granted.I can assert with confidence that the Conservative campaign and manifesto will not be as abject as was the case in 2017 and of course Boris Johnson is a far better campaigner than Theresa May.

I am really looking forward to getting out and campaigning on the doorsteps and in the streets for the Conservative Party as I have done on numerous occasions for both national and local elections.Not forgetting of course the delivery of leaflets and all other tasks required at such elections.

How are you going to defend the terrible re-hashed WA with Brexit voters? (the ones who are properly paying attention)

What are you going to tell them in your leaflets and on the doorstep?

After 10 years.

'Corbyn is a Marxist'.

You won't be lasting long on any doorsteps round here.
