Roll up, roll up place your predictions

roses I would have thought you would have been pleased about that - since he would be preaching to the converted - instead of critical.

I agree ab Corbyn only goes where the Labour vote is rock solid.

How funny! I have said quite a few times that I am a Northerner on GN Maizie but nobody can know every small area in the North, and since it was stated that Boris needed a police escort in Shildon, my question was to be expected.

Hey ho..... I for one will be glad to see the election over with - whatever the result. I can't see anyone being any better off under either party. I would like to see some parity between the north and the south too. Maybe we could also see house prices coming down in the south - ridiculously high and no way most young couples can get on the housing ladder. Happy voting...

Hiding behind closed doors makes more sense than hiding behind a glass door.

Actually, I think roses suggestion was rather bigotted and shows how southerners really have very little idea about the North of England.

If Shildon was 'on the rough side' rar don't you think the police should be protecting the people who live there rather than standing, arms folded, looking a bit bored, while Boris snuck in behind them.

Sticking in the comfort zone is not reaching out is it?

Hiding behind closed doors and needing police escorts isn't 'reaching out' either.

And no, roses, Shildon isn't particularly rough, it's just a normal small North Eastern working class town in an area where the two big employers, mining and railway engineering, have long since disappeared. They have no reason to warm to the tories.

I find it quite amusing that Boris should need a police escort in a town which probably voted pretty solidly for Brexit. Seeing that he was a leader of the Vote Leave campaign. But then, I still firmly believe that the NE Leave vote was more a protest about the tory 'austerity' programme than about the EU.

Roses, it's what anyone with experience and knowledge of canvassing knows, Corbyn hasn't visited one strong Tory seat , it wouldn't make good tv.

May has made several visits to Wales, she was at the launch of the Tory campaign, I have had an email inviting me to a Corbyn appearance in Wales, he will speak to us via a large tv screen, received a second mail yesterday informing me there were still seats available, this was not not from Welsh Labour but from London Labour

Had there been police cuts at the times of all the other terrorists attacks in this country?

Good point ab

You never know who will decide to attack politicians of all sides though do you?
Followers of IS or just nut cases.

Just ordinary people in Shildon, but holding placards and shouting for Labour,so Boris obviously didn't want to talk to them and had police outside, as he slipped in through a side door. You know the police whose numbers have been cut and who should be guarding the public from terrorist attacks.

If double the number vote labour in 50 labour held seats it results in 50 labour seats .

Is the Shildon area a bit on the rough side then trisher ?
It will be interesting to see if the young do vote this time, turning up to see a 'celeb' is something they like to do, but actually trudging off to cast your vote is another thing entirely.

Boris reached out to the NE, but needed a police escort in and out of the Shildon community centre!
The crowd to see Corbyn outside the Sage in Gateshead had heaps of young people in it. You know the young people who don't vote. except I think they are going to this time. And there aren't many in TM's audience.

Sticking in the comfort zone is not reaching out is it?

May visiting Labour strongholds is pointless if she speaks behind closed doors to a selected audience of party faithful. As she does.
Or does just the fact that she ventured north of Watford have such a mesmerising effect that it will bring voters out in droves for her?

Corbyn is talking to more voters than May?

True, he has stayed in labour strongholds whilst May has visited labour strongholds . Even a pea brain can work that out.

??very good

So Corbyn actually created the rainbow? There won't be a crock of gold at the end of it, more like a crock of something unmentionable!

I predict Corbyn is going to find that gold for us all at the end of the rainbow.

He's certainly talking to more voters than May has in the whole of the campaign.

Some people just have no soul.

Problem with rainbows is it isn't possible to get to the end plus it isn't possible to catch one.
