I'm taking the pledge

The general election is seven weeks away yet which is four weeks too long a campaign for me, and I cannot see the point of arguing the parties individual manifestos, when the bl***y things haven't even been written yet!

So I hereby take the pledge not to argue in any political debate until at least the middle of May, so till then include me out....

See you on the other side...

The only problem with that Barry is you are giving some people carte blanche to post any old rubbish and to have it unopposed...

It's a long race Meg, much will happen in the next four weeks and people will post their usual diatribe anyway, so I'm keeping my powder dry for the time being and I'll evaluate the arguments later on when they are current. Three weeks is plenty of time to put my thoughts forward, they'd be well stale if I started now and even I'd be sick of hearing them...

Re: I'm taking the pledge

I don't blame you. I get the feeling the country is going to descend into chaos and anarchy eventually with the rising tension. Le Pen's concerns about civil war on the horizon is no-doubt a foretaste of things to come here too the way things are shaping up. And they say leavers are the ignorant? Blimey, it couldn't be further from the truth.

Re: I'm taking the pledge

With statements like this from Labour, it's going to be a very amusing election race,
