Some last minute advice for Labour supporters/canvassers

I had a lovely man knock on my door this morning. He asked "who are you going to vote for?" And replied that for the better good I would vote Labour. I then explained I was a LibDem, but understood tactical voting so he had my vote.

Instead he stayed for 20mins trying to convince me how I should vote for Labour out of conviction. I also explained I was Jewish and as such I have my own reservations, but that it was irrelevant as I was voting Labour because we'll, I preferred that than Boris.

So please if any Labour supporters read this, accept that a tactical vote is as good as a "conviction" one. No need to convince me (or any othe tactical voters) of your policies, you've got our vote, that's what matters.

I’d never ever put a cross on a ballot paper for that man or any of his party that is riddled with anti semitism - it can be dressed up and covered up as much as they like but this is the stone cold truth.

He is an enemy of the Jewish British people. Opposes anything remotely patriotic, supports and befriends terrorist organisations is despised by many in his own party but you want to elect him prime minister. It beggars belief

I loathe Boris but I’m Jewish and am proud to be and it would be a cold day in hell before I vote for JC- anyone else could have led that party and they would have had my vote- shame on labour!!!

Good advice Rainbow. Vote to get the Tories out.

Corbyn doesn't have a problem with Jewish people. He has a problem with the Israeli government, as do many Jewish people.

And bollocks is the Labour Party riddled with anti semitism. That's downright offensive to the vast majority of us who despise any kind of bigotry. We want a better country for everyone, irrespective of faith.

Disregarding any other issues, the antisemitism in the Labour party would lose them my vote every time. And I'm not Jewish.

It’s laughable that people still deny antisemitism in the Labour Party when the proof is out there.

It’s laughable that the Tory press have people so convinced of anti Semitic that they’re prepared to vote for a islamaphobic, narcissistic, lying onanist who is after nothing more than personal gain.

The Labour campaigner told me all Leave voters are Xenophobes and that we can trust Corbyn to do what's right 'because he said so'.

If he'd have given me some convincing information rather than spending the whole time slating the Tories I could have been swayed, but he put me right off Labour (even more so than my dislike for Corbyn).

I agree giveher they're their worst enemies
