From what I know, it is hard to see how it is not illegal.
Oh 100% but as with a lot, i can see this being swept under the carpet someway or another. |

You're probably right. Nothing will happen, the BBC will say it was a mistake, and Rob Burley will act condescendingly to those complaining about it. Again. |

My wife and I have voted by post for Labour, as the least bad option, a good candidate I believe, and with a chance of getting rid of Buckland.
We know a few new voters who are voting Labour, so looking forward to an upset in Swindon South. Unlikely, but not impossible.
Buckland won by nearly 6000 votes in 2015, less than 2500 in 2017, so it's certainly not out of the question. Fingers crossed. |

the problem is that I think Labour have lost a lot of ground in 2 years
but we live in extraordinary times

From what I know, it may well be illegal.  Raab did the same in an interview with Michael Crick a few days ago. TBF to him, he's such a fucking idiot he may well not have realised it wasn't allowed. Makes no odds, he won't get prosecuted either. We are now in an age where politicians and their friends have become unaccountable, like Trump in the US |

The only hope now, I guess, is that Johnson's behaviour in the last few days - hiding in fridges to avoid questions and failing to show an empathy with the plight of a sick child - finally starts to have an effect. But, as above, I doubt it. Positions are more entrenched now than is normal. I have a feeling that the polls this time will be a more reliable indicator of the eventual result than was the case in 2015 & 2017.
I've gone full Reg/Victor Meldrew on this, I'm afraid.
Unfortunately, and this is only one viewpoint I know but BJ could come and deliver, either a pint of milk or curl out a very large turd on my Father's doorstep and he would still vote for the Tories. I'm sure this may mirror across parts of the country too  I have fallen out with my Dad thanks to this bunch of self serving wankers. There is zero chance of even getting into a discussion, about anything without him turning it into some form of political point scoring. He is not a rich man, he relies upon our health service and disability benefits to deliver for him. I cannot understand why, on the milky way he would even consider voting Conservative? I genuinely despair and it is just a very sad state of affairs. Purely because many can see that the shitstorm is about to intensify, if voting goes in favour of a continuation of the current government. |

LK really is a cunt, like really a horrible one. I don't think she'd even be welcome on the TEF. She has gone beyond that for me.
I'm still waiting for an apology from the BBC and LK...
...it won't happen.

Just to re-visit what is now old ground... a man, who after tomorrow may well have to stand up to Trump, Putin, Xi et al... hid in a fridge to avoid questions from a tv presenter.

Stand up to them? He's likely to be found in a wardrobe alongside them and tossing them off. With Cummings (no pun) stood on top of said wardrobe. There's a drawing for Jim'll Paint it. |

No it isn't at all but I feel this is a very similar picture across the nation. Brexit divided, by forcing us to choose black or white. This election is the wedge - which keeps us apart. We are the disunited kingdom. |

Hopefully the country won't run out off weapons grade HB pencils today.
I like the tradition in some places where people take their kids \ grandkids along to put the paper in the box.
Don't see it over here or is it not allowed.
Does it \ would it make people think a bit more about they are doing.
An election is about what people would like to happen in the future after all.
I dunno.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Crap!
