Just a couple of Italians who take their personal defence seriously.

I see the LibDems get a new leader today. Both as dull as each other.

Watching the news right now & Iranian commandos storming a British tanker.

We used to say vote Lib-Dem get Tory. Now it's literally vote Lib-Dem vote Tory.

Call me a bigot Monty (& I know you will ) but the endorsement of the opinion by those rabble, actually pretty effectively undermines any integrity your statement may be making claim to.?

We used to say vote Lib-Dem get Tory. Now it's literally vote Lib-Dem vote Tory.

Well, as Boris will leading an increasingly right wing Conservative party, alienating those of the moderate center-right voting public.. perhaps Liberal can take the disenfranchised center-right vote as well as the disenfranchised centre-left votes.?

Jo Swinson may yet be the first female Liberal PM to achieve the position with a large overall majority.?

[D41]

Eternal facepalm.

[Monty]

I wouldn’t dream of calling you a bigot

[Monty]

AAV - Anyone who poses as a "centrist" while actively pushing or enabling radically hard-right policies like austerity fanaticism, privatisation mania, vandalism of the social safety net, and imperialist war-mongering is quite obviously nowhere near the actual political centre.

The majority of British people actually hate this stuff, especially the privatisation mania.

A lot of self-declared political "centrists" are people occupying the blue areas insisting that those of us in the red areas are the dangerously radical political extremists with unpopular economic ideas!

Amazingly some people are actually gullible enough to buy into their Orwellian propaganda bullshit!

[D41]

And just who or what or where is that quote taken from? Viz???

[Monty]

The data? YouGov a Tory funded pollster

[D41]

Tory funded, but not necessarily reflecting Tory opinions is what you're saying.

[Monty]

Do you know what a pollster does, actually don't answer that

[D41]

Do you know what a pollster does, actually don't answer that

That's the worst poll question I've ever heard.

[StMarks]

I wouldn’t dream of calling you a bigot

Fyi I would be pleased for you to do so at any time Monty, if you ever feel that I'm displaying a blinkered attitude.
Sometimes such things are much easier to see "from the outside".?

Warnings given for both the US and Germany to go in recession. Both countries have hit the warning 3 flags

UK growth is also down for the first time since 2010.

[D6]

If those 2 go into recession won't rest of western world follow suit
