16. In that particular post, I was plainly referring to clear water in terms of polling.

Hence my comment "... Labour needs a lead of around 7 points to at least be able to form a majority, let alone a substantial one".

It ain't there.

In my subsequent reply, I extended that to clear water in terms of policies on Brexit between Labour and the Tories.

It ain't there.

I think we're all pretty clear by now how you feel about Labour, Jeremy Corbyn, Brexit etc. etc., so if you'll forgive me, I'm not up for another endless diagonal thread of pointless circular bollocks that is no doubt terminally boring for any onlookers, as I have an inescapable date to cut my toenails, and I think T_i_B may want to have words with you anyway.

As much as I want the Tories out, I also want the DUP to face electoral punishment over this Ken Burch Nov 2017 #2

I don't think the DUP would be punished by voters for this LeftishBrit Nov 2017 #3

Well, times change, but this was from 2010: Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #4

A snap election can't come soon enough. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #5

I wouldn't credit the DUP with that much T_i_B Nov 2017 #6

I'd like to see quite a bit more clear water between the Tories and Labour Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #7

I'm for even more clear water than there is, although there's a lot more than previously. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #8

The latest poll I've seen showed Labour 3 points ahead. Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #11

In theory, Labour should be much further ahead in the polls T_i_B Nov 2017 #12

I think at times recently Labour have been providing a more effective opposition. Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #13

OK, somehow I hadn't see this earlier. I'll respond now. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #23

I've addressed pretty much all this at quite some length below. Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #28

I thought I owed it to you to respond to this post when I saw it. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #29

You would agree that any continued anti-Corbyn efforts, including expulsions of his supporters, Ken Burch Nov 2017 #20

No. T_i_B Nov 2017 #37

To clarify, I wasn't condemning every single expulsion. Misogynists should be expelled. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #40

Wrong T_i_B Nov 2017 #41

OK...you can't seriously argue that there are people who are antiracist AND antisemitic. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #42

You really don't have experience of people in real life do you? T_i_B Nov 2017 #43

I have plenty of experence in real life. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #44

Given that you keep posting the same old theoretical bollocks T_i_B Nov 2017 #45

I haven't mentioned the EU once on this thread T_i_B Nov 2017 #50

I have read the other posts...I'm sorry I misdirected that response to you. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #51

Christ, have you never ever misread something? Ken Burch Nov 2017 #53

I've met some. Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #46

Oh...to clarify...by "clear blue water", I thought you meant policy differences. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #14

Do you not actually read anything anybody posts? T_i_B Nov 2017 #15

I read what he posted. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #21

In that particular post, I was plainly referring to clear water in terms of polling. Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #16

You seem to think I'm a closet Leaver Ken Burch Nov 2017 #17

Bleedin' Ada. Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #18

I'm only speaking for myself, and am not trying to convince you personally, Denzil. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #19

Now you REALLY are trying my patience, as if you hadn't already. Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #22

OK, a reset is a good idea. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #24

It would also help if you'd stop making major edits to your posts after you've written them. Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #25

Fair enough. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #26

Well, it mattered a bit more this time because you added questions to the end. Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #27

When I started this thread, I never meant to get into Brexit. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #30

I didn't say that I thought a reset was a great idea. Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #31

I don't disagree with a single thing you've said there. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #32

Well, to return to my entry to this discussion, Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #33

OK. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #34

The problem is this: Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #38

Denzil, I'm not trying to persuade YOU to vote Labour. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #39

Why do you think Labour's support would plummet if it supported Remain? LeftishBrit Nov 2017 #35

I DON'T condemn Labour's support for Remain in the referendum. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #36

"I do think it's time that people stop blaming Corbyn for the Leave victory" Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #47

Look, this all started because I honestly misunderstood what Denzil meant by "clear blue water". Ken Burch Nov 2017 #48

Jeebus. This "small group of you that post in the UK group" Denzil_DC Nov 2017 #54

Wasn't meaning to lecture...I respect your views on the EU and truly wasn't challenging them. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #55

OK...I misread it. In terms of UK politics, I'm used to seeing the term "clear blue water" Ken Burch Nov 2017 #52

She'll call an election The King of Prussia Nov 2017 #9

I thought she would have done it around october syringis Nov 2017 #10

Ok. I live in England and from NI so I have opinions on both these things....... Soph0571 Nov 2017 #56

Thank you for that. there's a fair amount of things in there I didn't know. Ken Burch Nov 2017 #57
