It really is remarkable that someone whose policies are "I will try to make your life better" is gaining on someone whose are "I will have your children burned alive to heat the saunas of the rich."

"When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

Not really, there are charges for NHS dentist visits and most surgeries mix NHS and private appointments and guess which one they try to get most people to have?

I assumed Blair was saying what a lot of the PLP couldn't when he declared that he wouldn't support Corbyn even if he believed that Corbyn's policies could win.

From what I've read, it was likely a transformer blew out or something similar and people got killed in the resulting panicked rush.

Good thing she's shutting down her campaign to deal with this issue then. I'm sure that'll work out for her just like it worked out for McCain in 2008 when he got his rear end handed to him by Obama.

Why is it right-wingers always want to make a production out of something when the end result is looking weak? She can't do two things at once, one of which being an election she called herself?

The other being a potential terrorist incident which she needs to direct the government response to.

She's the PM, and there was an incident in the UK which requires direction from the Cabinet Office and a coordinated response. Who is supposed to do it instead?

The bombing of a concert, many of the dead including children, days ahead of a general election. Bad timing.

Prediction: the suspect was muslim, not technically affiliated with isis, probably born in the uk, but radicalized over the internet. Mentally, the guy's just going to be an islamic version of a /pol/ retard.

super important update: facebook friend posted a lovely post about how police should now have unlimited rights to do whatever they want, when they want to stop knife crime and terrorism. but she added that 'this applies to people of all races and genders' so it's totally ok.




on the other hand, she literally used to suck dick for coke so i might take her opinions with a grain of salt before i peronally start lynching people in my allotment idk.
