What I think will happen tomorrow

That the SNP will do well
That Labour in Wales will do well
That Laurence Fox and Shaun Bailey will be humiliated in London
That my local council will stay LD
That Labour will hang onto its Mayors and do badly elsewhere

This is not a difficult prediction

MaizieD you have not offended me.

I appear to be a bear with very little brain today (to copy another poster). I know what I am trying to say, it just comes out a**e about face when I write it down.

I know what you mean, seeing that I've been a bit confused this morning. But I think your brain is fine...

See, I can't even get a grin right...

I’m so naive.

Andy Burnam will be returned as Greater Manchester mayor.

Gosh, I hope not. But you are probably right.

Nothing that Labour does surprises me Urmston especially where dirty tricks are involved. shock or unshock

I don't remember removing other parties' leaflets from letter boxes, nor do I remember being trained to do so. However, I was always careful to push mine all the way through, being careful to avoid the snapping dog behind the door. I was neither Labour nor Tory!

EllanVannin.

You have no moral highground left with a leader like yours! Once he has been dealt with you can start accusing others.

What a very odd thing to say suziewoozie. Was that intended as a slur?

I have done leaflet drops and we were told to push the leaflet all the way through as anno said. It might even have been for the same party.

Hummm what thread was it that showed a leaflet with a Tory MP threatening the voters with no grants from central govt if they voted Labour?Nice

EllanVannin Thu 06-May-21 14:02:41

Whatever ! ( fingers in ears )

Whitewavemark2 Thu 06-May-21 14:09:35

Another thank you to trisher

I am sure that many Tory supporters would also support you sentiments.

I had absolutely no idea that leaflet pusher throughers were actually trained...
