I have been Canvassed.

Hi

A visit from the Labour Candidate.

Rich pickings for them, a Pensioner in an Ex Council estate.

The arrogance was amazing.

I am not on Benefits and when challenged that my house is going to my disabled son. she had no answer.

It will not affect you.

Really?

The house is worth more than Corbyn is going to Taxing. £125000

Corbyn is a Terrorist Supporter, which is why I am disabled,

Corbyn supported the IRA and the attack on my kids.

Get lost.

There is no way at all I will be voting for him.

If there's any sign of a canvasser i don't bother engaging in any conversation, instead I just polity shut the door.

Haven't seen any round here either, Tabs, though I did get a letter through the post from our local Conservative chap, Peter Bone - he's always on the telly - spouting on.

I've had more than enough of all of 'em. Can't be bothered with it anymore.

Re: I have been Canvassed.

None so far, though I have had a Labour leaflet, which went straight in the recycling bag

To be fair, on previous occasions the LibDem people have always been polite and reasonable, but there is absolutely no chance of my voting for them

Re: I have been Canvassed.

I opened the door to a middle aged lady who asked if i could be counted on to support Labour . I just said I hadn't decided at which she asked why not at which I politely excused myself from any further conversation .

Re: I have been Canvassed.

I had one come through the post from the 'Brexit Party' apparently it was headed by several doctors working for the NHS who promised a better local and national service. I was impressed and they have no need to worry about where my tick is going....

I couldn't really care less about any promises made by any of the parties (it's probably all borax anyway) all I want is to be out of the EU and with no deal, so whichever party will deliver that will get my vote.

There was a labour one came through the door from Rosie Winterton, I did read it and had a good laugh on my way to the bin........Yer right Rosie....

If that happened to me Zuleika I'd have said "How long av you got" and proceeded to unfurl my list and ask (1) Why when everyone in your constituency voted to come out of the EU why were we ignored?
