General election coverage

I agree ayse. I have never known such aggression

I can't bear it. It's not the aggression, it's the lies and spin and the fact that the really long term future of the UK depends on the result. No GE I've voted in before has ever mattered so much.

It's just a second referendum by another name.

I agree Merlotgran - it should clear things up either way for which I shall be eternally grateful!

I don’t think the nastiness in political discourse is ever going away. It’s been part of general election tradition for as long as I can remember.

As pointed out many times, especially on radio 4, the EU and leave will not be finished for many years as there are long negotiations ahead.

I wasn’t intending this thread to be yet another discussion about the current state of affairs but rather a plea for all of our politicians (and lawyers) to leave confrontational discourse behind and find a more reasonable approach to discussion.

Just because a way of doing something is “traditional” it doesn’t make it right!

I’ve been watching ‘The Thick Of It’ on iPlayer.Never saw it when it was on originally, 2005 I think.
Awful swearing all the time of course, but 14 years on it all seems very familiar I fear.

I enjoyed Yes Minister/Yes Prime minister so I think I’ll explore in The Thick of It as well

Totally bored and past caring already, thankfully I’m off on holiday to Trumpland for 2 weeks so I get a break, lucky me.
