Apparently the usual landlady over ordered on Bar nuts on the last thread. Just step over them if you find them here, as we haven’t had a chance to clear them up yet.

Welcome to all friendly parties!

First drinks are free!

“a few of us hardy types are still here on the frontline

It's not a war. sad”

I meant on the mumsnet brexit threads, not in RL. sorry if it looked like I meant to imply Brexit was a war.

It feels pretty war like in here at times!

It's not a war.

The war against shitposting & goady-fuckery against MN leavers is real Steve.

We are veterans.

Indeed. Dusty is a veteran at shitposting & goady-fuckery!

🤡

🙄

Right, so after (yet another derail)

What about those stats @DustyDiamond posted? Parliamentary majority possible?

Hello Epic. I'm working so I'll just have a bottle of sparkling ditchwater for myself and a corpse reviver for the big blond man dripping over by the fire.

Interesting polls Dusty but I fear a hung parliament. Pretty sure the conservative remain places will go LibDem, especially with a leader like Swinson who really is a yellow Tory.

I think we were looking at a 39 seat majority last week but I wouldn’t take anything for granted at this stage. I hold Corbyn in the lowest possible esteem but he’s coming out with some good sound bites for those who like that sort of thing.

Hi @Wimbledonna!

Ditchwater and corpse reviver coming right up! 🥃⚰️🧬🧪

“Interesting polls Dusty but I fear a hung parliament. “

God, I hope not, that would be a nightmare for everyone.

I think a hung parliament is very likely.

Cheers Epic.
Yes Corbyn is a good campaigner Meghan. And I do think we need a left of centre govt for a while. Unfortunately the shadowy Momentum types behind him really are stalinist anti-democrats. Did you see the scary show of hands vote at the Labour conference?

It’s going to be a loooong night on the 12th that’s for sure. I will order in extra snacks for all weary travellers.

Coffee for me please. I am going to make a determined effort to ignore all GE-related 'political debates' in the media as I already know how I'm going to vote in December so it would just be an unnecessary source of irritation. After all the Brexit HoC fuckery, it'll be a much-needed respite.

Love the attitude on this thread - the GFs are so certain that we're all BJ fans, die-hard Tories, No Deal types - they don't seem to get our Pub at all. They aren't really worth responding to really.

Thanks for opening up Epic - what a busy little place we are so early in the day.

No problem @hateisnotgood! Morning!

There’s a lovely strong coffee on the bar for you .

You might want to hire a couple of bouncers too.

@Wimbledonna.

I’ll certainly look into it! 😂

You mean the vote to reject remain? Yep, I don’t pay much attention to party conferences (so much sucking up on all sides) but that was worth a watch

Matthew Goodwin has crunched the numbers. The Ipsos Mori would give Tories a 175+ majority apparently.

Quick blog on postal votes for anyone worried about getting out to vote in bad weather. (You have to scan past the pro-Indy nonsense but otherwise sound advice)

I will vote as soon as my envelope arrives having already adopted Hateisnotgood approach to electioneering.

Can't see that. Corbyn is a good campaigner and he hasn't started yet. I actually like a lot of his policies myself!

The polls are interesting but so few of us actually have the ability to change anything.

Following on from the questions I asked on the old thread - how many people on here live in a constituency where their vote really could make a difference to the outcome (whatever outcome that might be)?

Apols for long link. This is the dodgy show of hands vote at the Lab conf. I used to vote Labour but this is scary.

Up to 2014 I lived in an "ultra safe" Labour seat. It is now "safe" SNP. I am not convinced that there any seats where voting doesn't make a difference.

I doubt there’s many Bear, at some point we really need to address the FPTP system, so that democracy is more equal, selfishly it looks like it will for me from a personal brexit standpoint in this case, but as a staunch democrat, at heart I believe in a fair voting system and strength in opposition. Currently we have neither.

Also, this new FTPA bollocks can go straight into the bin.

‘Will work for me’ typo.
