General election 8th June

An interesting afternoon on the dark web… Several helpful hackers are promising to deliver the election in Stronzettos favor via hacks and bot posts on social media. There will be a crowd funding campaign to rise funds for our new Russian pals.

Every constituency needs a Stronzetto. MRLP have had their day. It’s time for the Friends of Stronzetto to rise and be counted. Our day is coming. Our day is now(ish).

People on social media live in a bubble and have an over-exaggerated belief in their influence. True of Twitter, anyway.

True of the world, unfortunately

So the socialists are dead and buried in France, could the same thing happen here? :open_mouth:

Feck. Is that Stronzetto?

I’ve just watched Corbyn deliver one of his election campaign speeches. It was like watching an episode of Life on Mars, complete and utter 1970’s rhetoric and not a political period I would ever wish to revisit. I’ve always voted Labour but I really cannot vote for this man or his snidy sidekick Watson, or a party that has Johnson and Hunt as its main players.
If there was a yellow polka dot bikini hot air balloon inflating party, I’d probably vote for them given the options.

This was as written in the manifesto…

The process of withdrawal

On taking office we will open preliminary negotiations with the other EEC member states to establish a timetable for withdrawal; and we will publish the results of these negotiations in a White Paper. In addition, as soon as possible after the House assembles, we will introduce a Repeal Bill: first, in order to amend the 1972 European Communities Act, ending the powers of the Community in the UK; and second, to provide the necessary powers to repeal the 1972 Act, when the negotiations on withdrawal are completed.

Following the publication of the White Paper, we will begin the main negotiations on withdrawal. Later, when appropriate and in the same parliament, we will use our powers to repeal the 1972 Act and abrogate the Treaty of Accession - thus breaking all of our formal links with the Community. Britain will at this point withdraw from the Council of Ministers and from the European Parliament.

There will need to be a period of transition, to ensure a minimum of disruption - and to phase in any new agreements we might make with the Community. This will enable us to make all the necessary changes in our domestic legislation. Until these changes in UK law have taken place, the status quo as regards particular items of EEC legislation will remain. And this period will, of course, extend beyond the date when we cease, formally, to be members.

Well found, sir! :+1:

Google is my friend :grin:

It’s all here for anyone who gives a fuck about the duplicitous cunt…

Tony Blair’s? Surely you mean Michael Foot

Tony Blair only became an MP in 1983. I doubt he was writing manifestos at that stage.
