RTB and BCF are presumably busy with more important things. I'm clearly not qualified to start a Westminsterenders thread - but somebody has to take control and collect the waifs and strays.

The party of no talent want to introduce no colour into our lives.

6 days to the election.

Johnson is still a liar.

Corbyn is still apparently loved by Labour members and hated by everyone else.

Swinson is still a charming PTA chair.

Dammit...NICRA obviously.

Avoid them, Keith. They're not worth a minute of your life. (And you are certainly not going to change them.)

Yes...I'll just stop responding Cat. Where is Bonnie and Clyde??

ChristmassySpice · 06/12/2019 20:15

Christ Keith that's shocking!
Caught a bit of Jeremy Vine show today. Absolutely shocking how many think women should suck it up. 'You wanted equality, you got it'

Yeah right. Unless it happened to be you it affected. Jesus!

Liberal Democrat candidate for Esher and Walton has just sent this tweet:

'Would you like Hugh Grant to knock on your door on Saturday? He is canvassing with me in #EsherandWalton. Send me an email: [email protected] with address+tel+reason! @HackedOffHugh @MumsnetSurrey @BBCSurrey @surreylive #MakeItMonica'

So, if you live in Esher and Walton, now you know.

(And she's tagged in Mumsnet, too.)

I occasionally think I should go to that thread and tell them about the corridors of patients and queueing ambulances and quitting staff in tears... but I don't know... isn't it pointless to try and change set minds? Better to concentrate on not-sures and motivating people to vote.

I think

Or is that just a cop out and should I go and try and engage them

I guess I'm just knackered and can't face the abuse, even online. or not even the abuse, the idea that people do not care about the people who are dying on me for avoidable reasons.

squid4 · 06/12/2019 20:18

Still haven't met anyone under 45 who's still voting tory!

squid4 · 06/12/2019 20:18

I need to go to bed I've been awake about 2 days now...

thecatfromjapan · 06/12/2019 20:20

No, that thread is pointless.

Remember: many, many Victorians died believing Darwin was sinful and wrong.

Sometimes, you just have to look at your charts and set sail for the future.

KeithPartridge · 06/12/2019 20:20

Piggy....thank you so much. They work wonders. 💖 💕 💗

Ok...deep breath back to it!

ChristmassySpice · 06/12/2019 20:22

In a perfect world, squid you'd engage with them and change their minds. But you are too knackered. You do enough already.
Anyone who is spouting to me about voting Tory because the opposition will destroy the country, I am saying Speak to Doctors. Speak to Nurses. Speak to Teachers. Think about other people. Not just yourself.

In other words, don't be selfish.

KeithPartridge · 06/12/2019 20:23

Cat yes...always look to the future. I love that. I love HOPE.

KeithPartridge · 06/12/2019 20:28

Squid...you angel! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas at home with your family, with peace. 💕

😢 What is there to say? Tories are evil. And I don't say that lightly.

Icantreachthepretzels · 06/12/2019 20:44

As the BBC leaders is just starting - I'll just post this link to the recorded telephone call in which our current PM - Boris Johnson - conspires with an old friend to get a News of the World journalist beaten up. Just in case anyone out there wasn't aware this existed/ hasn't heard it before. This is the man who believes he is entitled to rule us all.

if he sues me I'll be furious

ChristmassySpice · 06/12/2019 20:52

If this was Twitter, pretzels I'd retweet that wholeheartedly.

tobee · 06/12/2019 20:56

I would like to add that I hope squid can have a nice Christmas at home with kids.

But is squid rostered on???

3dogs2cats · 06/12/2019 20:56

Watching the BBC. Fucking Nick Tory Robinson

tobee · 06/12/2019 20:57

God is it bad? SadAngry

3dogs2cats · 06/12/2019 20:58

I just can’t believe they think this is balanced.

KeithPartridge · 06/12/2019 21:05

Nick Robinson is utterly useless. Spineless nobody.

3dogs2cats · 06/12/2019 21:08

Johnson repeatedly saying that people on 20 thousand will pay a thousand a year more in tax. It’s totally untrue.
