From everything I hear his party is going to get obliterated (as they have been losing big for a while) and that's why she called the election to have a mandate to push the Brexit through.

He's been rising big time the last few weeks in the polls. Labour at 33, Tories at 45. Something like that. Still a long way to go obviously.

THats the problem. The media are entirely out to get him and all the British media outlets are owned by established old money billionaire families that are all deep in the pockets of the tories and always have been. Corbyn is completely outside any frame of reference they have or are willing to deal with because he poses such a threat to the norm and way things they want it and have it working.

Still makes no sense May calling this election at this critical time but if she wins she still has to navigate Brexit and the Scots probably running a second referendum for independence. It's a monumental nightmare for whoever wins. Corbyn would be better by far for normal British people if he won.

That's why we elected Trump. Things need to be shaken up a little.

Also potentially Bernie-amorous, if anything can be taken away from the political scribbling of a madman.

another dozen or so of those, and we'll have one Manchester. Clearly they are the same.

yeah, this was merely a boston marathon

Burt, if you don't understand how the spontaneous hate-crime stabbing deaths of two white guys who were acting to protect the safety of two Muslim women they had never met before is the equivalent action as a former ISIS in Libya fighter (with support from potentially 14 people) suicide bombing teenagers in a crowd outside a pop show, then it's like you don't understand post-modernist thought at all.

Are we winning yet?

This POS. Clearly has some serious mental issues. Not sure why he was yelling for free speech rights. I don't think that caused him to kill two people.

Sick of these mother furking asswipes that randomly kill people in terrorist acts.
