Westministenders: Promises, promises

[BigChocFrenzy]

We should see the party manifestos soon
in 2017, that changed the election

So far, Tory and Labour have been competing for who can offer the most spending on the NHS

Labour have been giving tantalising glimpses of free dental care and free broadband

The Tories have been hinting at tax cuts, as well as public spending

The polls suggest the public like all of the above,
but also that Brexit is the most important issue

25 days to go, still all to play for

The Lib Dem remainer is concerned about what happens to democracy if the Lib Dem's get in and revoke Brexit. They were thinking of voting Conservative 'to get Brexit done'. They weren't sure about Labour's policy.

I would imagine that’s an extremely fringe opinion for LD Remainer!

The OU is not or ferkin well never was a white institution
It was the bastion of debate and free speech and clear thought among the privilege
so for them to push somebody out for being either black or blind or both is disgraceful

Goodness I hate "identity politics" and snowflakes

That was what I was trying to say, Listening.

I am very pessimistic, think we're heading for a big Tory majority. Leavers aren't changing their minds, Remainers are divided so it all feels hopeless. Can't see Corbyn turning it around like last time when he wasn't as well known. The leave voters I know all voted Labour in 2017, they won't be voting for them again.

pmk

White institution = predominantly white. (PWI) Doesn’t mean every single person in it is white. It means there are insufficient BAME students to qualify as truly multicultural and usually historically white.

Oxford = 18% BAME and only 2.5% black. Ie 88% white.

Violet I'm not sure. The sheer amount of younger people registering to vote gives me some hope. Although I've just been arguing like a madwoman on the Daily Mail...they actually believe all the propaganda churned out on that rag.

Should say 82% white. ^^

I'm hoping this too FadingStar.

I'm up and then down again within seconds now @FadingStar and @Violetparis.

Oh dear, it wasn’t supposed to be this way...

Would love my pessimism to be wrong FadingStar. We need the young uns to get out and vote !

I've been working all day but about to go and see what twitter thinks about the news today. Anything new on the Arcuri story?

Same here Violet. Hah yes Tobee...fluctuating constantly. When I think to the million+ people at the PV march, the young people registering and people making their voices heard on social media (rather than the pathetic propaganda churned out by MSM) then I wonder if we might get a Christmas miracle.

Probably shouldn't have looked. Gove is a fucking scumbag racist isn't he?

I can't imagine many of the newly registered will be voting Tory Ellie!!

Someone I work with was a LD party member, voted Remain in 2016, but has resigned from LDs (resigned back in 2018, even) b/c , he said, he plays football with a lot of people who voted Leave & he thinks that majority decision should be respected.

I don't think he'll vote LD again.
So confusing.

I’ve watched the footage. It’s absolutely disgraceful. I can see no justification for the manhandling of a blind black man out of a white institution

Watched that this morning. Absolutely gobsmacked that other students just sat there and allowed a disabled black student to be assaulted.

Don’t all these opinion polls have to be adjusted for the Don’t Knows? It does change the figures quite a lot.
There was a brilliant poster who could do that...

Watched that this morning. Absolutely gobsmacked that other students just sat there and allowed a disabled black student to be assaulted.

My feelings exactly. I rewatched it because it thought someone must have have done something but no. They all sat there like lemmings.

Lemmings is not the right analogy, but it turns out they don’t run off cliffs anyway.

This person works for the NHS. But they are really concerned about the damage a second referendum would do.

I think I would have raised an eyebrow at that and asked if they thought a second referendum would be more damaging than the destruction of the NHS. The Tories are doing that now by stealth, despite not having won the last election, so God knows what they would do if they actually won.
