Taxes raised to the hilt and christ knows what union strife we shall have to suffer. And then we have Brexit - the negotiations to be handled
by a man that says he will go along with the replacement for Trident at a ost of £26b ( or whatever the cost is) just as long as the submarines are not armed with nuclear missiles.
Messrs Merkel and Co will tear him up for aresehole paper and it will not be the quality of a certain well known brand. There is the possibility, according to the press, that there will be a hung parliament. Are you happy to be governed by a coalition government headed by Corbyn and his sidekick Nicola Sturgeon, because that is what you will get. I rest my case as I am off to bed.

Re: Corbyn V May Channel 4 8.30 pm tonight.
With a new leader, it would help the country to have a strong opposition. Who have they in reserve ?
Ms May has struggled in recent weeks after she was forced into an embarrassing U-turn over plans to reform social care in the party's manifesto.
The party said elderly people who needed care will be able to put off playing for it until after their deaths so they could potentially stay in their own home for as long as possible.
But critics said this would unfairly penalise people who suffer a slow decline from illnesses like dementia over people who die suddenly and can then leave their estate to their children.
Meanwhile many have criticised Ms May's reluctance to engage with voters especially after she declined to take part in the televised debates – sending Home Secretary Amber Rudd in her place.
During the debate Green party leader Caroline Lucas said: “You don’t call a general election and say it is the most important election in her lifetime and then not even be bothered to debate the issues at hand."
She added: “I think the first rule of leadership is to show up."
This poor performance has not gone unnoticed with the voters as Ms May's personal appeal over Jeremy Corbyn is slipping.
YouGov found 30 per cent of respondents think Mr Corbyn would be a better Prime Minister – the highest it has ever been – while Ms May's personal favourability has slipped to 43 per cent from 45 per cent.

Re: Corbyn V May Channel 4 8.30 pm tonight.
Keith, you should be a concern to all voters with your comments and attitude putting up bits of news from what many call a suspect media.
But of greater concern is your assumption that you will not vote for either party but the person who you think will be best for you.
The vote should be what is best for the nation, not the individual.
Thankfully you do not have the preferential voting system we have here in Oz.
The result, so nay minor parties, all pushing minor policies, that neither party can rule comprehensively as they have to negotiate with a number of minor parties to get legislation through the senate.
The result is in many cases, watered down legislation, that is about as much use as tits on a bull.


Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
