I'm getting sick of Tory HQ starting threads here to discredit Labour

[ssd]

come on guys, we can all see through it

fight the election without resorting to this

We are all concerned about this, Orlantina.

Ah I see we are about to have the assertion that labour voters care and Tories are all nasty and thick.

You can be a labour supporter and be a selfish cunt or a Tory supporter and be a nice human being

Mumsnet is the only cross section of life right now which makes me think Lavour might win. I don't see Tory threads at all...

Labour !

Not a single "Tories ate my kitten for breakfast' Mary? Do keep up!

We do, however have the "Jeremy C is hot" thread.

Several of those.... between those and the biscuit question, I'm not surprised that the site has the reputation it seems to habe

God I wish it was next Friday and whoever wins can get on with running the country. I'm fed up.

I'm off to the Jeremy is hot thread.

May was and has been very careful not to predict a large majority and said repeatedly that Labour could win. Some media commentators suggested she should claim everyone is voting for her so waverers would follow the herd.

the Jeremy is hot thread really really makes me feel uneasy......shouldnt they be on gransnet

I can't find it.

can someone link pls?

Those kind of threads make MN look a tad shallow

Well said IvorHughJarrs.

So, here's this morning's crop - just the ones I've noticed, not a scientific study and AFAIK coincidence they're both anti-Labour.

I'm pretty sure all the parties are on here. I suspect some of the unsubtle ones are probably not supporters of the party they claim to be.

I think some people are shockingly naive if they believe everyone is who they say they are online.

There was someone on the Corbyn chat who I strongly suspected of that.

But, yes, all parties seem to be well presented.

One of the reasons the spammers are so tedious is because IMHO they actively inhibit discussions being "enlightening and educational", which I miss too.

Having five spammy threads on the same topic tends to fragment the discussion too much, where one or maybe two threads would have been able to explore issues in detail.

And spammers tend to be set on transmit: they go on saying the same things without engaging meaningfully with the response.

I noticed this in the Brexit campaign. A particular poster (name present only for the campaign) would start a thread; other people would respond in good faith to create a meaningful discussion; the other posters would bring in factual references and the discussion would evolve; then the OP would start another thread, a few days later, with exactly the same opening message as her previous thread - that she'd just been shown was factually untrue. This clearly wasn't about having different opinions or wanting a discussion; this was about broadcasting a message and using MN as the platform.

It just descends into who can shout louder for longer. Deeply, deeply tedious.

Actually OP I assumed you were possibly from Labour HQ doing the same thing.

Agree with just about everyone but especially taniths and perkings last post

I miss Claig.

yanbu. There are some posters who only post on political threads, often with very little history. They just run in to plonk their propaganda down then leave the thread.

One way to avoid paying for political advertising I guess.

Really don't bother with anything like facts. MN is indeed an echo chamber - no discussion or debate allowed just endless monologuing on how virtuous, righteous and down right saint-like all Labour supporters are and anyone who even remotely questions this is evil.

This.

TORIES KILL PEOPLE

IF YOU VOTE FOR THEM YOU ARE A MURDERER

Repeat ad infinitum until people who don't think labour offer a remotely credible option give up and stop posting, then pat yourself on the back for being Righteous and award yourself another halo

Not half as obvious as those paid by Labour to start threads ripping shreds out of ]the Tories - hope they are paid good money.

Maybe some people are just sick to death of the Tory party and don't need any motivating to start threads?

Whats pissing me off is the whole if you are not voting tory then you must be voting labour you commie lefty twat

Or if you are not voting labour you must be voting tory you facist far right twat

Other parties are available

And some people havent made up their mind, but they might know who they are NOT voting for
