It looks like London is hit by several terrorist attacks again. Deeply tragic. I hope everyone is safe.
I also worry that it's the day before the memorial concert, but especially that the attacks can influence the election.
This has been the most depressing election I can recall.
Not just for the terrorist attacks. Hearing May bang out her 'shaken not stirred' line time and again just sounds insulting, I am talking of course about 'strong and stable' on and on and on. It actually sounds unhinged.
The way she just blathers on and doesn't engage with any question, just says what she wants to say, puts me in mind of public bodies and they way they respond to complaints from the general public... basically if you have anything on them, they just ignore you or give the answer they want, you are the angry mob after all. Until they want your help, then it's 'ordinary, hard-working families'.
Corbyn never has a chance but everything is synomonous with efficient = cold and ruthless, benign = weak and foolish. Take your medicine if you know what's good for you.
Kristal Tits and Alastair managing May's team. They look scary.
Having Osbourne bitch on about May in his role as ES editor doesn't improve my mood either, he seems like Edward Heath turned up to the max.
I tried betfair but Norway blocked on that site (prolly those dillholes Norsk Tipping blocked it , that's why they try to block foreign gambling as they get no part of the pie X-(

Happy Polling Day to everyone back home. By the time the first results start to come in it will be breakfast time here so I will enjoy a pleasant day at home watching the outcome. -{
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

My vote was in the box at 7.15 this morning -{
If Corbyn gets in can I come and live with you? I'll bring Macallan and a full bond dvd Box set.
It looks to me like this election will look like a defeat for Theresa May regardless of who lives in No. 10 next year.
She called an election when she didn't have to and she had reasonable support in the Parliament. The polls promised the Tories a big win, but now it's even possible that Labour wins!
If Corbyn wins I promise I will close my membership here on AJB and never darken your doorway again! How's that for you Higgins?
Well, then you must be very sure that Corbyn doesn't win
Anyhow, if he does there is no need to punish AJB with your absence
I don't know him, I know that Bernie Sanders supports him and I wish that May will get a very bad result for her recent moves.
I know that Corbyn has positioned himself to Pro Brexit (big mistake imo because his chances would have been much better to position himself pro-EU) but I think, that the UK election system supports the Tories presently even when they have not the majority of all UK voters.
Anyhow - no matter how this turns out, I hope that we all can stay friends - with the exception of Asp9mm of course

I only see Corbyn as being very anti-Brexit, so I am slightly surprised at your comment. Likewise, why should someone position themselves against the wish of the people / the referendum result? Purely out of interest, I'd like to know what makes you say this.
Reporting here was that even though before the referndum he was anti-Brexit but after the decision he had the position that Brexit was irreversible and that he would not change it.
As for "the wish of the people" - as an EU supporter by heart, may I remind that the referendum was very close - the voter numbers have been very low( particularly with the lazy young voters) and that the desicion finding process was partly influenced by blatant and shameless lies from the Brexit camp?

There were shameless lies on both sides of the referendum, with regards corbyns stance, as an elected politician he is duty bound to follow the democratic will if the people, that will voted to leave the Eu by a majority of nearly 2 million. May was also a remain supporter but has resolved to follow the referendum result. If Corbyn wins the UK will remain in the Eu in all but name. The lib dems offering a second referendum is appalling and flies in the face of democracy. In my opinion which counts for little any elected mp who resents a democratic result and fights against it should loose their seat.
) ) I have not been able to see those lies from the EU camp - the last months show that one after one all predictions become true
I've been in Brussels last week and had a vivid chat with a young local engineer (chinese descent) of energy management and he was laughing on and on how idiotic the UK have been with that decision and that it'll fall on their (and our) feet step by step.
He could not get over the stupidity of that decision.

I'm not sure what those predictions are that have all come true? And I'm not sure how a Belgian engineer of Chinese descent is qualified to call UK citizens stupid? One thing that has become blatantly apparent is the contempt and dislike many on mainland Europe feel towards the UK, it also adds weight that the Eu only wanted our membership to continue for our financial contribution and not out of solidarity

Sorry, my friend but that can't be farer from the truth.
All EU members span circles and bent their backs to keep the UK on board and the unique UK discount should give an indicator that money was not an issue.
UK as an EU member signed contracts and commitments and they'll certainly stick to their promises even when they are out of the EU?
And just for the record: He called the Brexit decision stupid and not the people and I've made it clear before - and you knew and saw it. Nice try however.
You shouldn't moan about missing solidarity when the UK chose to leave the solidarity because of their own interest where more important then the community.

Here's Boris calling Labour MP Andrew Gwynne a'big girls blouse' and Gwynne calling him 'a pillock' .... British politics needs more of this!

James callaghan probably, prime minister in the late 70's
I'd say Ramsay MacDonald as Callaghan was more to the right of his party.
I said Callaghan as he was a fan of socialism.

I don't think CC will have to move I would imagine a clear Conservative victory will be on the cards.
Maybe one or two seats may fall to tactical voting but I cannot see anything else than the Conservative's winning handsomely.

I think he's taking " connecting with the voters" a bit to literally
