    General Election 2019 thread

    Shouldn't the Labour Party be left wing? Not sure many of the policies are that 'out there' compared to left wing parties in other parts of the world. Maybe it shows a flaw in FPTP which doesn't really allow for anything more than a two party system. Or maybe it shows that everything has...

    In which case lets stop subsidising things. At the moment is we're caught between state owned and privately owned. Taxpayers are expected to fund the non-profit making parts of an industry while others walk off with the profits. If we're rejecting publicly owned shouldn't we see that through to...

    So 20,000 Harlequins fans coming up for the game. They are absolutely hammering the advertising, must be costing them a few quid. Between that and the tickets they're giving away could be the first sell out to lose money!

    The odd thing in that thread is that more people seem to be concerned about going bust than being relegated. We can overreact on here but when we are struggling people aren't posting that we're about to go out of business.

    So in practical terms what would you bin from the manifesto and what would you replace it with?

    Does that mean home games that are now meaningless? Looked 5K tops there today, imagine what it will be like for the remaining games.

    Some of the vox pops that have been on since the election have been eye opening. Seen people saying they switched from Labour to Conservative due to lack of funding for the NHS, the bedroom tax, too many homeless, number of food banks even a vague things have gone downhill the last few years...

    Was that not a foul on O'Hare right before they booted it up the other end and scored?

    That's ridiculous from the ref. He practically stepped on McCallum when he was down but didn't stop play then as soon as we get in position to shoot he stops it. That's nothing but compete incompetence. He knows the player is down either stop it straight away or don't stop, not like he suddenly...

    Has Max been cut there? Looks like he's getting the boxers treatment and the eye greased.

    Quality is OK, but not brilliant, on mine but the sound is way behind the pictures, far worse than the usual delay.

    I really hope this isn't the way things go. Maybe if we all hadn't been so accepting of the fact politicians lie over the years we wouldn't have this mess now. The thought that the solution will be for everyone else to ramp up the lies and deceit does not sit well with me.

    I've voted in a similar way and that just highlights the problem with the 2 party FPTP system. On the right you only really have the Conservatives, well until UKIP came along and we all know the mess we got into when Cameron panicked about them, the other side is so fragmented and even then...
