F***ing incredible.

He is what he is.

If he was to come to power, it would potentially create a world crisis. I think that'll weigh heavily on voters' minds when they vote. As well as potential coalition partners'.

I think the Tories and May might be slightly too nice on Corbyn right now.

It would be better if she'd portray him more as the terrorist-cuddling traitor to the country that he is - while pointing out that she's leading the country through a difficult period (allthough she didn't do anything wrong).

Who's in the White House again?

Yeah, but with Corbyn the world would just get another lunatic leader. This time from the Far Left.

The choice for UK voters on Thursday is clear: steady May or a terrorist-cuddling traitor.

[DavidB.]

If I were British I'd be panicking right now, honestly.

[Phony Moderate]

The choice for UK voters on Thursday is clear: steady May or a terrorist-cuddling traitor.

The same 'steady May' whose government throws money at the Saudi Arabian regime? The same 'steady May' who has overseen huge cuts to the police? The same 'steady May' who gave a state visit offer to Trump just days after he took office? The same 'steady May' who has made the only major U-turn during a general election campaign that the veteran psephologist Sir David Butler (who has been writing about elections since 1945) can recall? The term 'steady' no longer applies to May and this is reflected in her personal ratings now.

If the Tories win on Thursday it'll be because of backpocket issues anyway, not matters of foreign policy.

Yes. The choice is clear.

The Trump offer for a state visit only shows good manners on her part (even if you can debate if he deserves one or not).

The situation with Saudi-Arabia is difficult, because they are spreading their tentacles everywhere. SPÖ and ÖVP also have their fair share of problems with the Saudis who are funding the radical muslim kindergartens in Vienna which are highly anti-semitic and hate-preach backwards views to small children and who are popping out there like mushrooms (but which actually should be banned and put under supervision of the state).

And while I'm not really familiar with the police cuts and this u-turn you posted, the police still does a good job in eliminating the Muslim extremists. In 8 minutes after all. No reason to blame May.

Corbyn on the other hand stands shoulder-to-shoulder with terrorists ...

Stephen Hawking backs Labour

Also a supporter of the Academic BDS movement, its most anti-semitic wing. No one's a genius about everything...

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Stephen Hawking backs Labour

Not a surprise. Hawking has supported Labour for years.

[Shadows]

What is the big deal about this? You can give a speech anywhere. How can you even blame him if people who attend his rallies are former terrorist or not? No1 can control who attends his rallies.

If this was the guideline, every single politician will be a paedophile, rapist, molester considering the people who attend their rallies do some shi* or the other.

If there is some proof of Corbyn colluding with terrorists in something bad, then make an issue. Otherwise, this is a ridiculous campaign !

This is total BS dude. If you read the Weekly Worker article, you see that

" Israeli contingents, including comrades from the Matzpen socialist group, were by and large warmly received. Jewish and Israeli speakers in Trafalgar Square were applauded for their expressions of solidarity. Leading SA activist Mike Marqusee (introduced as representing the Stop the War Coalition) said he was "proud to be a jew"�, and added to cheers: "All religious backgrounds are outraged at what Sharon is doing."� Naomi Wayne of Jews for Justice was also applauded (and heckled by Al Muhajiroun) for a speech in which she demanded an end to the occupation and the creation of a Palestinian state: "We want Israel to have a secure future, but not at the expense of the Palestinians,"� she said. "

The speech was addressed to a crowd of 25,000, a small part of which were these a-holes. If you read the article you see that these people were unwelcome in the rally.

I remember at anti-war rallys I went to as a kid in D.C. there'd always be Larouchites and WBC people on the outskirts heckling. Does this mean I'm a Westboro supporter?

Maybe, but the bottom line is that Corbyn was and is cozying up to terrorists, while May wants to get rid of them. That's what matters on Thursday.

Not "maybe," you posted some bs, dude.

If she wants to get rid of terrorism, she shouldn't have cut police as Home Secretary.

It's amazing to see how leftists suddenly love the police

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

The police are the single most disrespected group in this country. Only Jeremy Corbyn can give voice to the voiceless laborers.

It's amazing to see how leftists suddenly love the police

Hate to burst your bubble, but leftists don't have problems with police as a whole. Leftists have problems with police who don't do their job correctly or fairly, and I'm pretty sure May didn't cut police because of those aforementioned reasons.

It depends on the leftist.  Some on the radical left, namely anarchists, view the police as a tool of the capitalist class to control the lower classes, and a relatively cheap mechanism to protect their private property.

This is probably a good strategy. While the polls have changed in the past couple of weeks, Labour should be prepared for the worst case scenario: another large-scale polling error.

   It will be interesting to see if much of this Labour upsurge just means that they do even better in their strongholds, just pile up more and more wasted votes, but don't do as well where it really counts, in the marginals. Perhaps a few more Labour people will soon be wishing that Blair had introduced proportional representation.
