Autumn was that...

Order to keep quiet on the chip butty situation or gove and leadsome.

I'll have chips with you and bombay sapphire... Not that I could tell the difference but the name is lovely Wink

Comradesally · 27/11/2019 21:09

The markets!!

The idiotic stupid markets...

Interesting that brexit itself is not a threat to them Hmm but corbyn is.
He really is the threat to everyone.

AutumnRose1 · 27/11/2019 21:11

@DustyDiamond great point re markets

@ComradeSally at this point I’m keeping everything secret 😂.

But everyone can share my chips and booze!

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 27/11/2019 21:16

I’ll take a Bombay Sapphire too please! My fave! Next to Edinburgh Gin liqueurs... 😋

It beats the crappy state issue Victory Gin anyway! 😉 ✊🥀

AutumnRose1 · 27/11/2019 21:19

Apparently making gin is quite hazardous

In other news, Larry the cat says he’ll be interviewed if Boris won’t. I would like to see that actually!

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 27/11/2019 21:21

Mustard Gin! Who could possibly have predicted that happening! 😂😂😂🙄

DustyDiamond · 27/11/2019 21:23

everyone can share my chips and booze!

Yay!!
🙌🙌✊🌹

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 27/11/2019 21:23

So. much. want. for the AN vs Larry interview.
😂✊ 🐈

Doubletrouble99 · 27/11/2019 21:42

Oh Epic, Edinburgh gin liqueur ! My fav.is Rhubarb and Ginger, I took some as presents to Canada and they loved it to the extent that Nephew - who is the executive chief in a very large resort hotel is trying everything to get it into his bars!!

Anyway back to the election. If you didn't catch the leaders interviews at 7.30pm then it's repeated on BBC parliament at 10.30pm. I missed it so can't wait.

😱😱😱😱😱😱

Walkingdeadfangirl · 27/11/2019 22:24

Great news with that poll.

Corbyn will be getting even more desperate. In the coming weeks expect ALL student debt to be written off (its only money). New lies about the NHS being sold given to Trump (the Illuminati). And Momentum rioting about the media being right wing fascists.

Still roller coaster time but we are still leaving the EU for xmas.

BelleHathor · 27/11/2019 22:36

🤞🤞🤞🙏🙏
The opposition will get extra desperate. Hope the Tories have a good "get the vote out" team. Remember Dominic Cummings said that leaving has consistently been blocked by "powerful forces" using the courts. With nothing to lose now, money and disinformation will be thrown around and lots of dirty tactics order-order.com/2019/11/27/plymouth-city-council-refer-postal-vote-questions-police-electoral-commission/

DustyDiamond · 27/11/2019 22:39

No wonder the 🦇 signal went up...!!!

No room for complacency - manage expectations, underplay the reliability etc because if the voters don't turn out or think a protest vote will be ok it could turn 😩

TERRIBLE for Labour & Lib Dems!

Dennis Skinner is predicated as likely to lose his seat 😮😮

time4chocolate · 27/11/2019 22:54

All the remainers that wail about The Markets! being affected by Brexit

Does it not matter now if a Labour win would have the opposite effect & cause a crash?

Couldn’t agree more Dusty and I think somewhere on here I posted something similar along the lines of a large proportion of the remainer posse banging the Brexit/bad economy drum for 4 years but yet wouldn’t think twice about ticking the Labour box and the whole country goes down the 🚾 but it would seem that’s okConfused

Good reading in that latest poll, have everything crossed that the morning of 13th will yield similar results but will certainly be aware of 🦇.WineWine

Walkingdeadfangirl · 27/11/2019 22:58

More than ever I think the stability of finally leaving the EU will stabilise the markets and increase investment into the UK.

Hollycatberry · 27/11/2019 23:02

I think over next few days we will see the momentum machine really fire up. Watch for social media to be dominated. Watch for multiple MN threads popping up in AIBU.

I suspect labour wanted to keep that nhs “scoop” under their belt until closer to polling day but had to release it early to deflect the Neil interview. No doubt their cranks will be coming up with other disingenuous nonsense to swing the polls back. Could be a rough ride ahead. Not counting any chickens 🐓 here!

Hollycatberry · 27/11/2019 23:06

With nothing to lose now, money and disinformation will be thrown around and lots of dirty tactics

Couldn’t agree more with this Belle
Momentum will be mobilising. To be fair have seen posts on MN basically giving the scripts away e.g. go on to threads and challenge people, don’t get angry, re-educate, tell them how great the EU is 🙄 basically same as after the Neil interview.

DustyDiamond · 27/11/2019 23:07

Very much this 👍

I think over next few days we will see the momentum machine really fire up. Watch for social media to be dominated. Watch for multiple MN threads popping up in AIBU.

Also very much this 👍

And defo YY to not counting 🐓

DustyDiamond · 27/11/2019 23:10

giving the scripts away e.g. go on to threads and challenge people, don’t get angry, re-educate, tell them how great the EU is

'Treat them like they have Stockholm Syndrome or like you would treat someone who is mentally unwell' was advice given in all seriousness on another thread.

Who's 'them'?!

It's US!!!!!!!!! 😮😳😂

SingingLily · 27/11/2019 23:17

Certainly not counting any chlorinated chickens here, Belle! Grin

That poll is too soon, too soon. It's making me really nervous now. What we really need now is a big wobble in the polls next week to scare the bejasus out of everyone and get them to the polling station.

They will have a pretty good indication of which way the political winds are blowing about this time next week. A good chunk of the postal votes will be in and they have to be counted so that postal voters don't, ahem, accidentally vote twice by turning up at the polling station.

About a week before the referendum, I remember reading a snippet somewhere (can't remember where, sadly) saying an "unnamed Cabinet source" had said the postal votes were avalanching in and the results so far "were horrendous". They could only be referring to the Leave vote. That little snippet kept my nerves steady for several days.

I'm giving an elderly neighbour a lift to the polling station on the day but hope to God we don't have a repeat of last time. He went into the booth and then called out, "Where do I put my cross, Lily? Can't you do it for me instead?" He has cataracts and double vision. I thought I was going to have to answer some tough questions about voter interference.

I know Dusty it’s pretty offensive to compare another persons voting choices to having a mental illness but these people see no shame in it.

There is another post that says “WE have three weeks to do a Goebbels” I have no idea what they mean but I know Goebbels was a nazi? So are they implying they want to spread propaganda like nazis? Or something else more sinister?

I read it and think WTAF have I just seen.

SingingLily · 27/11/2019 23:20

“WE have three weeks to do a Goebbels”

Jeez Holly. If memory serves, Goebbels might have been the one that said when you lie, lie BIG and keep repeating the BIG lie because it then becomes everyone's truth.

What on God's green earth are we up against? The Chief Rabbi wasn't wrong when he said we are fighting for the very soul of the nation.
