The gunning down of those people was terrible, I'm glad it was exposed. However wikileaks released tens of thousands of secret military documents, an action that possibly put people's lives at risk. Should he have been released or should he have served more time?

"however if you think that a potty mouth and so called comedian ? ( assuming his comments were meant to be funny )is up to you but you certainly have lost my vote" Think what? That didn't make sense . I don't know if the swearing will win disaffected, disenfranchised voters who rightly might refer to politics as an 'effing joke' (and swear themselves) or put others off. Some would say it's a risky ...

People in Newton Abbot are justifiably angry about the unwanted, unpopular changes the Lib Dem run District Council under Wrigley's Leadership and their Tory allies in Devon County Council are forcing onto Queen St. Unsurprisingly finding Lib Dem election leaflets through their doors from Westminster hopeful Wrigley himself telling them he's the 'People's Champion' and 'working hard for Newton ...

@1263 Totally agree, I'd rather have Liam Mullone from the SDA representing us in parliament as he has integrity, he stands up for the people and has a track record of tackling corruption even when subject to threats and abuse and Teignbridge District Council's Kangaroo courts. Whatever the outcome of this election the SDA will have greater exposure to more voters in the District, then it moves ...

@1263 Many parties could just share the same flyer, they say much the same thing and deliver absolutely bugger all. But at least it'd further reduce paper use. Top idea!

@1263 haha no chance, it'd be a waste of money in any case.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8yk3OlkKGg Forgot what a beautiful place we live in.

It seems our Constituency is neither a Lib Dem nor a Labour target seat, if we're splitting hairs. Vote for whichever party you want, unbound by people telling you who to 'tactically' vote for - people who don't actually give a damn about lack of democratic process and corruption. They don't know better than you, they're not your 'betters'. Be curious. Do your own research. Make up your own mind. ...

One of the biggest pieces of misinformation that many people assume or are led to believe is that our Constituency is in a Lib Dem target/priority. That's certainly what Lib Dem candidate Wrigley is telling everyone. He is also telling everyone that our Constuency is not a key battleground for Labour. this may have been the case months ago, but it now seems the Labour party stance has changed on ...

@1263 The Lib Dems here use the same tactics too, and have been doing for years. Here's an example from Wrigley's recent propagandist BS; This is a complete misrepresentation as there is no mention of the official opposition in Teignbridge, The South Devon Alliance. They came second behind the Lib Dems and ahead of the Tories. This graph shows how the Lib Dems will do/say/publish whatever it takes ...
