I hope the fool who asked the question will be taken as exactly that. If nuclear war started between Russia and the West it would be MAD ( Mutually Assured Destruction ). If North Korea or Iran started one it would be Excusively AD, they would be annihilated. But first , there would be a crisis, as with Cuba. Luckily, we had the far from perfect Kennedy in charge then, who along with Khrushchev, was able to solve the crisis. It would be during that period that decisions would be taken, in a real ongoing situation and I hope we would have wise people's fingers twitching near the button rather than those of nutcases.

There were at least three of them in the audience going on about it and thousands if not millions in the country who share the same mindset.
I'm just glad the woman got a word in about how ridiculous the talk of it is.

Read some statistic that those 9 old white men posted above asked 29% of the questions in the Corbyn section last night. There were 120 people in the audience.
You could see from a mile off it was a blatant plant... fecking shameless too.

Yes, it was good to hear her question the idea of launching nuclear weapons willy-nilly and to dear the applause after it.There were at least three of them in the audience going on about it and thousands if not millions in the country who share the same mindset.

Looking at all the reviews, I'm happy I didn't watch it. I'll have been depressed.
Ex Labour advisor David Chaplin complaining on Sky that both leaders have had pretty shambolic campaigns.
Seems like some of these guys are clueless and not sure why he cant accept that Corbyn has had a good election campaign. He seemed anti Corbyn, so maybe that's why.

The Guardian Morning Report -
May was also asked whether she was insulting the public’s intelligence “with stupid slogans”.
“I’ve been running a campaign which has been setting out the very clear choice the British people have and the very real challenges the government faces over the next five years,” she said. “It’s an important chance for our country, that choice is between a strong and stable leadership… or Jeremy Corbyn and a coalition of chaos.”

The thing is imagine what a labour's position would be now if they hadn't spent much of the past year with a leader who hid away making jam 90% of the time. Whatever the outcome of the election is the lesson is surely that you cannot start your campaign three weeks before polling day. Whether you like the media or not you have to construct an engaging dialogue with them is before somebody calls an election in order to engage not only your own base but to get the message across to hostile elements.
If Corbyn started how he is now many months before we probably wouldn't be in the position where the best outcome for the labour party next Thursday is a narrow defeat

You get better by the post
I can't remember exactly which one it was, but I think it was the bottom middle bell end, who asked the question to Corbyn 'Will you go into coalition with the SNP?' Corbyn replied (paraphrased but not much) 'I'm trying to win this election outright, but there will be no deal with the SNP in the event of a hung parliament' and the smug cnut came back with 'But you didn't answer my question' despite what Corbyn said being the most straight forward answer anyone gave to anything.There were at least three of them in the audience going on about it and thousands if not millions in the country who share the same mindset.

Darling you can't deny the fact that Jeremy Corbyn hasn't really been a player in the political game for much of his leadership and I don't think you can separate that from the fact that this surge that he seems to be enjoying during this campaign seems destined to be limited to the conclusion of defeatYou get better by the post
Until the last couple of weeks there seems to exist absolutely no appetite to converse with anybody outside the parameters of the already converted
I repeat my previous reply. You live on another planet.
Well come back to me on June the 9th and we'll see who lives on another planet but I'm sure there will be a Tweet from the Canary that you can post to make you feel better
Whose going to fire Nukes at the UK? North Korea are too far away and have more viable targets in USA and Japan. If Iran ever decided to use a Nuke it would be against Israel 10 minutes before America wiped them off the face of the earth.
I remember the mythical times where I could get a day saver ticket and travel all day anywhere in the West Midlands by rail and bus for pence. I used to use them to get to the United matches all around the West Midlands before the introduction of Match Tickets.
Can't really understand the incredible swing towards Labour in London. What on earth could that be about? Weird!

No darling this time, what did I do wrong? You apparently live on a planet where the majority of Corbyn's leadership hasn't been completely undermined by the cnuts in the PLP who are awfully quiet now he's in with a shot (apart from rent-a-gobshite Jess Phillips obviously who couldn't help have a dig at Abbott) so it'll absolutely still be you.
They can't accept Corbyn because he stands for something. If you stand for something, you also stand against something. Spoilt brat career politicians don't seem to understand that politics isn't played out in a textbook and you don't have to agree with every single policy to support a Party or candidate
How quickly they fall back to 'But the IRA'. These are canvassers whose entire shtick is to get votes for their party and they offer absolutely nothing. Not even a lie about the Tories caring about the disabled children the lady works with.
The hidden story on this Trident issue, is that both Corbyn and Thornberry hope to degrade the present capability in this SDSR of theirs. They dodge the issue every time it is put to them.
He is just the sort of candidate who would appeal to a broad electorate following a May government, should that be the outcome next Thursday. Socially liberal, centre-left, not to Corbyn's level of business policy, composed speaker e.t.c.
Do you consider the headline in that tweet to be be accurate in its portrayal? The Independent did the same with the non u-turn, school breakfast u-turn.
But they're not even trying to specialise. Many students are attending university out of societal expectation, not because there is a need at that point in their lives. Now you allude to a worthy point as regards lifelong learning, but that will require a government-led shift in culture that no party is advocating AFAIK. The introduction of a 12-18 month multi-skills course, would probably be of greater practical benefit in the interim. There could then be top-ups in specific fields, which an individual might return to at a later point.
The Lib Dem candidate in Amber Rudd's constituency told a hustings to vote for Labour, that's the spirit!
He's a complete lightweight. An utter pushover. I don't crave strong leaders, but Chuka simply ain't cut out for it.
Wait, so they're still costing it at 6.8p a child?
Hid away? He's been fighting leadership elections and a rebellious PLP. Corbyn has been in the media 24/7 just usually people attacking him.
Certainly the lesson should be you need to campaign from the off or in other words not make the media message about rebellions.

Granted, I watched only 2 minutes of this, clearly way too little to reflect the overall performance. However, I was baffled how poor May performed in those 2 minutes. A young woman asked whether she thinks she has any leverage in Brussels to negotiate a good deal for the UK.All May provided was:
- 'This is a deal not just for the UK but for 27 other countries.' (Wow - really? That's breaking news.)
- 'Only our strong and stable Conservative leadership can deliver a good deal for a stronger, fairer, truly global Britain that works for everyone.' (Yawn. No evidence whatsoever why and how.)

"I don't give a shit about the IRA." Perfect response to dirty propaganda.
She contains less charisma and individual thinking than a pork pie.The Guardian Morning Report -

Can you imagine if we end up in a hung parliament situation, where the Tories are the largest party, but Labour and the SNP have enough seats to form an effective majority? The right-wing press would go absolutely insane... would be hilarious to see.
2005, with a dash of anti-Scot racism.
I'd like to see that but get message "media could not be played"
Other than the fact the pound would probably fall off a cliff, it would be very interesting to see how it all worked itself out.
The English votes for English laws thing would be all you'd hear from the Tories, quicker than you can say 'constitutional crisis'.
In practical terms, it never was 7p per child. And as i recall, the Indy story led off with a headline implying that the entire policy had been scrapped.
Given the economic restraint present in the Conservative manifesto, i wouldn't have supposed there to be a need to contrive such stories.
The tories would be disarray so who cares? That's just the way it goes, the party out of power is always busy infighting and being shit. There would be plenty of "Why are the SNP voting on OUR GOD DAMN LAWS" from the daily mail, but the only difference to now would be the frequency they say it at.
