General election

[pedro]

they are different things and good on her for calling it. Shes the first non elected PM thats called one (that ive seen). Gordon Brown wouldnt have lasted 5 minutes if he'd called one.

Hard or soft Brexit doesn't matter as you say but it proves folk didn't know what they were voting for, exactly my point all along.
So the peoples'will is being carried out on something they don't know about.
You couldn't make it up!
As for May calling the election, as it turns out, good on her. Her arrogance was ill founded and I wonder if her successor will be as quick to do the same?

People voted for Brexit, its up to the elected (torries or labor) to decide which would be better for us as a country (their own pockets)

Good luck to all you Remainers. No, honestly, good luck and I hope you will live happily ever after being ruled by Germany and France.

You'll deserve it.

However. It's not going to happen. There are far too many people who have relatives who were KILLED to make us free from the likes of Merkel and the Brussels mob.

Just explain for me again the link between your relatives being killed and being free from the likes of Merkel & Brussels.

An THIS link explains why the unemployment figures are a meaningless measure of economic success and prosperity.

In a nutshell in 2008 the average weekly wage was £473. In 2017 it's £458 and as the article states the 2010's decade is on course to be the worst decade for wage growth since 1805, a decade that included the Battle of Trafalgar.

And this is occurring with high levels of employment which is not supposed to happen. With high levels of employment employers are supposed to be competing for employees driving wages up.

They are not. In the de-unionised and deregulated employment market it is the employers who are having their cake and eating it.

This is the Tory master plan coming to the desired conclusion. A serf like labour force, wages depressed and profits in the bank.

All set to get even worse as Brexit drives inflation to a four year high at the same time wages growth is so dire.

Crowing about the number of jobs is pointless unless those jobs deliver decent living standards to the majority of people and they clearly do not for many people.

And you Medlocke, are seemingly daft enough to vote for it.

Again? :eusa4:

Just read my first paragraph.

To put it simpler, your Aunty Angela hates Britain. How she remains Chancellor after her reckless opening of Germany's borders is beyond my comprehension.

Along with millions of others.

Except to the people who matter, the German voters.

They must see something in her if you don't despite your nonsensical and mythical accusations of an open border policy. Perhaps they have worked out there is no such thing as an open border policy?

Politically she is not my cup of tea (she's a conservative) but you are basically having a rant against her based on your own fantasies ("she hates Britain" - I mean really?) , not the facts.

my pal in Munich reckons she will never get voted out because she's now seeking a coalition with another party to cover all her bases.

Sorry Dave. I should really stop reading people like Littlejohn, as he's nowhere near as clever and as eloquent as you. I know my place. I never knew someone could bw right all the time.
