Should I vote Labour Mark 11

The irony - of Maybot secretly going in the back door and not daring to speak to the crowds?
The one who said she wouldn't do TV debates because she would be out talking to the general public?

I get the irony.

"Prime Minister Theresa May was in York today – but few knew.

Rather than meet any of the people of the city she chose to give an unannounced speech in a back room at the Barbican Centre in front of an invited audience.

Although ironically enough she told them: “I know how important it is to be out there, talking directly to voters, hearing their concerns.” "

Don't know a 'Maybot'. I do know of a 'JezzPuppet', but that's not likely to catch on...

Maybot's visit to York.

You really don't get irony, do you - either of you?

From a different angle. St Helen's Square, York, on Wednesday. Doesn't need to be photoshopped.

Why does political tribalism so often play on the " I am alright right Jack " attitude and people get what they deserve or alternatively only the politics of envy?

Why not strive as a nation for decent fair policies that call for greater fairness and equalty to improve the economy of the nation. A fair wage structure for all and the elimination of poverty and inequalities. Enable society to remove the barriers that get in the way of an Ageing Society living out a decent quality of life.

Hmm...ever heard of photoshop, durhamjen?

Wonder why Jezza's so far down in the popularity polls. Any idea?

jokes not allowed

Lots of people for Jeremy.

'peopleforjeremy' tells you all you need to know about that Twitter link - no need to bother reading it!

Just caught up with Have I Got News For You, they are naughty, referring to a newspaper headline - the labour manifesto took us back to the seventies. One wag said - Corbyn doesn't want to go back to the seventies, he would have to sleep with Diane Abbott again

Not attacking the new Messiah , just giving some a giggle

About rail privatisation.

Must think of some good ones for old Jezzer to wind you lot up on the Conservative thread...

I thought this thread was supposed to be about voting Labour, not just repeating silly made-up names for Theresa May.

Hilary Clinton won the popular vote but lost the college vote. All May needs is the popular vote.
The problem is that it's not just Maybot that needs to talk like a robot.
I noticed in one of the local papers that the Tory candidate for Darlington is not going to a hustings to do with education. Rather foolish, in my opinion. Education is one of the Tory top agenda promises, isn't it?

Interesting programme on Radio 4 called Political Thinking. At the very end (26 minutes) Nick Robinson interviewed the American Republican pollster Frank Luntz and asked him about the words that Theresa May is using.

I thought it was very interesting. He said she is using the words that Hilary Clinton used and that at a recent focus group they did people liked the words she was using but questioned her empathy and her commitment to what she was saying and whether it was actually 'her'.

They are, through vast experience also able to advise and warn governments.
They do the bidding of the government of the day which may ignore their advice, only to realise too late that the advice was right in the first place.

I do agree with your post whitewave although one or two have edged very close to the mark in recent years.
Our civil service has served us well.
and long may it continue!

We don't know that the Tories will have a thumping majority ( although it looks it)
But it really looks certain that Labour will lose, at any rate.

I would think that almost anything works better tbh.

So you think 'strong and stable' works better?

Actually, don't reply, I'm off out now for the afternoon

But not policies Maizie in fact the manifesto is not even out yet.
It's an aversion to Corbyn probably, in the end.

But, roses, something must be getting to people if they are going to turn out in their 1,000s to give May a thumping majority?

That is interesting, roses. And quite sad, in a way.

I would agree about the civil service whitewave and I don't remember seeing any proof otherwise. I too think we are very lucky to have the civil service we do.
