UK Election

Well UK election is tomorrow and Corbyn seems to be making a last minute surge. I am not a supporter of May but I feel that if he became PM it would be a disaster. A back bencher with no ministerial experience, elected labor leader by some tricky moves by 'momentum' which is composed of the remnants of a radical left group expelled by the labor party, advised by a hard left unionist who has been recorded as saying he would bring down the government at whatever cost and lacking support from most elected members of the party. I have already tangled with 'friends' on facebook [I have a range of 'friends' ranging from extreme left to extreme right] and their support seems to hinge on their emotional response to a movie that depicts corbyn as a latter day Christ I see distinct parallels with trump on the right wing--promises that cannot possibly be fulfilled, a 'cleaning out' of 'them' and subsequent blaming the 'others' when things go pear shaped.. Over the years I have seen many politicians come and go, and am still amazed how a skillful orator can manipulate the masses, a logical thought out plan seldom wins [not that the conservative manifesto was particularly well thought out]. The UK is a war zone and like it or not a strong approach is required, democracy is not all hugs and love sit ins. The British spirit is better exemplified by the South Londoner who took on a knife wielding terrorist shouting 'Millwall' to counter the 'allah ' screams while everyone else ran for their lives [it is possible however he thought he was at a football match]
