question: isn't there some sort of Fairness Doctrine type thing that requires tv/radio to give equal time to May supporters and Corbyn supporters or something to that effect? and/or maybe equal positive coverage of both for the duration of the campaign?

If so I think Corbyn might get an unexpected (if small) bump in the polls on account of receiving positive news coverage for once

Yes terrorist attacks should absolutely not be a campaign issue! It's not like a certain party leader drastically slashed police budgets when she was home secretary two years ago or that she was warned at the time by high-level police officials that it would make it more difficult for police to stop or respond to terrorist attacks. And it definitely isn't relevant that an award-winning Manchester police officer directly warned her in 2015 that her budget cuts would greatly limit the city's ability to gather intelligence to prevent potential terrorist threats - and it's certainly in no way relevant that the Manchester terrorist was reported in detail to the police on on five seperate occasions but somehow the Manchester Police were unable to use this intelligence to prevent the terrorist threat he posed!


So yes I definitely do not at all understand why anyone would make a campaign issue out of terrorist attacks because it's not like anything could have been done. Can't you people show some respect for Theresa May, and not blame her for bad events that happened after did a thing after people warned that doing the thing would make bad events more likely but she still did the thing anyway? Show some respect people geez

She's using death to fearmonger and push for internet control, and we are supposed to shake hands and smile about it?


Did you even read his post?

Yes it's bad that she cut police funding but that was not my point. Even giving the pond scum the pretense of respect is too much for them.

learn to sarcasm buddy
