Anna B Posted Sunday at 13:39 Share Posted Sunday at 13:39 The last election turned out to be all about Brexit, with Boris' spurious claim to 'Get Brexit Done! No one seemed to give a thought to what was going to happen generally in the following 5 years and we ended up with arguably the worst government we've ever had. This time, Farage is making it all about immigration. Again, we have much more to worry about than that, and an urgent need for much to be sorted out, - and 5 more years to do it. Please give some thought to what is going to be needed in the next 5 years and who is going to be the best all rounder to do it. The choice isn't great I'll admit, but don't make it about one issue politics or you may live to regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Farage would like to make it about immigration, but I think the public have something to say about that - putting the cost of living, the NHS & social care, as well as housing above immigration. The fact that Nigel and the Tories aren't gloating about Brexit tells its own story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Project fear? To be honest, I don't even know why anyone is bothering spending money on advertising, Labour or Tory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now so blatent and lacking in any pretence at subtlety that hopefully people have stopped falling for it at last. Personally I'd like to see this sort of all out propagands banned entirely. What happened to newspapers reporting the news / facts, rather than unsubstanciated, ultrabiased opinion?

Trouble is this will continue relentlessly, doing down anything Labour attempts as an out and out disaster doomed to fail. You might think that after the election, that doesn't matter, but it does. As a country we have to attract investment etc. All this does is malign the country as a basket case that doesn't know which way is up, or at the very least, a divided country that no sane person would invest in.
