Oh dear.

 

Too much to ask for, for Labour to win outright. However, a hung Parliament is looking more likely as election day comes closer. I can't see how May can still be party leader if she doesn't win with a majority.

 

May is running down at breaking point. She has worked hard and it is showing. This is just a guess but it wouldn't surprise me she is taking medication to assist her from crumbling at the moment.

 

People start to realise corbyn is not an IRA terrorist sympathiser. I don't think his dreams and good intentions can be realised in our political system but it will sure be better for a while than what the Tories are doing now. It will balance things for a while.

 

About all that money tree business, Tories rather waste money on HS2 to save a few minutes than for kids to get books or smaller classes or a nurse to get a wage increase that matches inflation.

I know the BBC has to be scrupulously balanced in the lead up to an election, but why does the current leaders debate feature the leader of a party that the vast majority of the UK electorate can't vote for.

 

I realise the SNP is the third largest party in the House of Commons, but it isn't a national party so why is it on a national debate programme - UKIP got almost three times as many votes as the SNP at the last General Election and the Greens almost as many, but they don't get a platform like tonight's programme

The spirit of the people

The spirit of the people

The spirit of the people

The rhythm has begun ...

 

Old men with their protocol

Lead us off to war

Sometimes we don't even know

What we're fighting for

Marching to the beat of their drum

 

Leaders we no longer trust

Told too many lies

The promises they made to us

Were never realised

Hear me now the chant has begun

 

Nowhere left to turn

No-one left to turn to

Voices raised in anger

They don't have the answer

Our whole world's in danger

 

Oil slicks on the ebbing tide

Progress out of hand

Blind men choke on swallowed pride

Heads down in the sand

Don't wanna see the damage they've done

 

Trees destroyed by acid rain

Falling from the skies

When our children place the blame

Who will tell them why

Hear me now the chant has begun

 

Why is love so rare

All this talk of warfare

Voices raised in anger

They don't have an answer

Pass the word along

We can wait no longer

Too much blind destruction

Follow love's instructions

Now the chant has begun

 

(chant)

 

Make your choice there's no escape

Add your voice, the chant has begun
