Not as scary as it would be if Cornyn got in
I don't really want to say this but voting for Boris and his bunch of second raters really is a sign of unevolved thinking.
So Gary Lineker wants us to vote Labour. Oh ok then he’s made me change my mind.
Not.

Compared to Boris, Andrew's past behaviour is irrelevant. Why are people so up in arms about Andrew's sexual behaviour- and totally oblivious to Boris's?
Johnson was a serious security risk as Mayor of London- he is a massive and very serious security risk now.
Bunga bunga parties at the Russian Palazzo in Umbria- Italy.
Personally, I don't care about his sex life or his sex moral- but M16 certainly did. And it is very likely that the Russians have footage and evidence that can blackmail Johnson for a very long time.

Whitewavemark2 - you can only find two people who want us to vote Tory?
I don't think you looked very hard did you? It doesn't fit your agenda.
From this Marxist rag, The Times:
''Nine Russian business people who gave money to the Conservative Party are named in a secret intelligence report on the threats posed to UK democracy which was suppressed last week by Downing Street.
Oligarchs and other wealthy Tory donors were included in the report on illicit Russian activities in Britain by the cross-party intelligence and security select committee (ISC), whose publication was blocked by No 10.
Some Russian donors are personally close to the prime minister. Alexander Temerko, who has worked for the Kremlin’s defence ministry and has spoken warmly about his “friend” Boris Johnson, has gifted more than £1.2m to the Conservatives over the past seven years''

Oh GG13 you'll be the headlines in the Sun etc. I can see it now. "WASPI wastrel 's gin jollies!"
Or rhubarb, or sloe or......
Raspberry gin for me please.
So WWM2 lifted from the Daily Worker??
There are apparently only two well known people who want us to vote Conservative......now why don’t we believe that?!
trisher it has taken me nearly two years and lots of research to find a gin I like.......this Granny shall definitely be spending her pension on gin......when I get it, I am a WASPI.
Boris will win by default because the opposition are so useless and he appeals to the lowest common denominator. Not because he is the most able, trustworthy,
loyal, team player, we all know he makes up lies as he goes along. Still those who lap it all up can gloat and point but they won’t have won anything. We’ll all be losers.
It has just occurred to me that all those who imagine they are 'safe' under Boris and will not be asked for more tax or targeted in any other way may be labouring under a delusion. If the party is funded by millionaires then those are the people it will serve. Having cut benefits to the bone and looking for another target group how long before Boris decides pensions and pensioners would be a good place to continue cutting? Watch out for news stories about grans splurging their pensions on gin!

The new kind of funding for the Tories is highlighted here, from the Guardian today. The Party is no longer funded by donations from its members, but by huge donations from rich magnates, who are set to profit massively from Brexit- in a totally unprecedent way- many of whom are Press owners who have led the disinformation and smear campaign against Corbyn.
''Dislocated from their traditional support, the Conservatives are now largely dependent on funding from a small number of overwhelmingly pro-leave donors. When Johnson took over, promising a hard Brexit, donations increased sharply, particularly from corporates and wealthy individuals involved in hedge funds and other speculative finance. The Conservatives’ growing dependence on hedge fund donors has not gone unnoticed. In September, the former chancellor Philip Hammond declared that Johnson was in league with financiers who, he said, stood to profit handsomely from a no-deal Brexit. The prime minister’s sister, Rachel Johnson, agreed.
The reality is more prosaic, and arguably far more concerning. Hedge fund donors are not trying to orchestrate a great financial heist, but a very small subset of British society now has a hugely disproportionate influence on the Conservatives.
“The Tory party is now wholly unrepresentative in any way of the UK population – its source of funds is so restricted,” says the economist Frances Coppola. “These are all people who want to see a bonfire of regulation, a Singapore-on-Thames.”
Anyone who believes Corbyn will fix the NHS wants their bumps felt. He will open our borders to any Tom, Dick or Harry who want to come here, including spongers who have no intention of working and paying taxes, but who will happily use up the resources of our NHS, leading to even longer waiting times for treatment. And before anyone accuses me of racism, my Lithuanian father fought in the Polish army, settled in UK after demob, worked his bollocks off all his life and died whilst on a waiting list for heart surgery.
I said, I agreed- which doesn't change the fact there has been a massive campaign to discredit him by some sections of the Press, with very rich Tory owners.
And now back to Boris:
''EU migrants have been able to “treat the UK as if it’s part of their own country” for too long, Boris Johnson said yesterday as he reprised the core message of Vote Leave’s 2016 EU referendum campaign.''
that was the whole point of Freedom of Movement - you treating the country where you go as your own- learn the language (I was bilingual in 3 months without ever going to a language school- not boasting, just fact. I made sure it was my priority), integrate, take full part, contribute, do your best, respect it. That is the POINT Boris.
Sorry jura but that does sound like an early excuse for Corbyn losing the GE.
Whatever the papers say, he is very much disliked by a varied group of people in the UK, who wouldn’t vote for him if you paid them ( in spite of all the Labour goodies on offer to everybody) and that includes many in the Labour heartlands.
Add Brexit to the mix......
If Labour had a half decent LOTO this time round, they would have been ahead in the polls by now.Last time round they would have won by a landslide.
