It's quite amusing watching Brexiter heads exploding all over the internet though. Seems like while G star has a crystal ball and sees everything coming well in advance, many others don't and didn't.

Meanwhile, could Boris' gaffes result in a hung parliament? He seems to be doing his very best to balls up what was a gimme a couple of weeks back. Maybe that's why he's taken to hiding in fridges rather than taking interviews he'd promised to give...

I'd get a squidgy ball or a punch bag tomorrow if you think there is any chance of a hung parliament. 

Closer than ever are the headlines in the Daily Mail. 

Aka, we are making sure you are arsed to vote in the rain.

Was it the same crystal ball that you used to point out that Conservative voters have been duped because we wont have left the EU by 31st January?

Oh I think it's done and dusted but I am having a good chuckle over Boris' unwitting attempts to throw it all away. He really is an utter buffoon.

This from the man who thinks Corbyn and McDonald and Sturgeon are the dream team.

It does really show what the public think of labour if indeed Boris does get in. I agree he doesn’t come across as the good PM material, which says a lot for the alternatives if he is considered the best.

It would seem so. Shame really.

I wouldn’t trust Corbyn to run my bath. ?

You're about the 30th person to crack that particular 'funny'.

Nope so I can exchange ideas and maybe listen to his side of the argument...you should try it sometime...

I'm very interested to hear when he thinks context should and shouldn't be applied to racist comments.

LOL - you only have to go back one page to see me discussing and then agreeing with MaxJam on a particular issue.

Meanwhile you continually go out of your way to disagree with whatever I say! 

In terms of your question - context should be a consideration yes, but as a subjective measure it rather depends on who is assessing the context.

And if the BBC's Laura Kuensberg gets away with this then it will certainly put to bed any arguments over whether the BBC political coverage is biased towards the tories or not

She has unambiguously broken the law here

Because on the whole I generally disagree with your political views and outlook on life.

I'm afraid context is too much of a grey area when it comes to racism. If something is racist for one its racist for all.

What are your views on some of the things that Dianne Abbot has said?

If you arent aware if any of the things she has said I will post them up later.

In which case she should be made to disclose the identities of the figures from within both parties who have given her the information as they have also broken the law.

I'm still a bit undecided about my vote direction this coming Thursday.
