Boomtown Fair news: CH10 BTN: Our world, our environment, our future

Lib Dems

Some subtle persuasion in your message, there! 😂

🌹🌹

Our first past the post voting system means the Conservatives could be re-elected with just 35% of votes. So it’s essential to vote tactically in each constituency so that we do not split the vote. tactical.vote/compare

I'm voting with my ♥️

Michael Stone your favourite festival saying Vote Labour. Guess you won't be going there next year

As if I needed anymore reason to love boomtown 🌹❤

Boomtown CH12: New Beginnings According to your official Boomtown Chat group, those of us who are not voting as instructed by the admins are no longer welcome at Boomtown. Some of the vitriolic abuse I have been witnessing is rather unsettling, and truth be told, if that is the sort of people in charge now, I doubt "people like me" are going to bother attending the festival anymore. It's disgusting, and totally against everything you lead us all to believe Boomtown was about!

Hannah Johnson I'm not gonna force you to vote, but I really think you should

Nice pushy vote towards labour.. always nice to see blind pushing.. don’t only look how bad conservatives were this last 9 years look at labour before them.. neither of the 2 parties are the answer they are both historically terrible.. labour are weaponising the nhs yet they done the most damage this last 20 years.. use your hearts by all means but my god use your heads too that’s where your brains are

As of 10pm tonight is it possible to turn this back into a ‘boomtown’ chat group??

Ive looked at the menu today, im finding it hard to choose between the shit sandwhich and the shit sandwhich, not feeling so hungry now

Love how Boomtown Fair says vote for your future, vote for the NHS, vote for investment in services, etc. and people lose their minds shouting about 'pushing a Labour agenda' Kind of says it all really...

labour and boomtown are hand in hand with Stalin.

Out of interest, because there seem to be quite a few Conservative voters on here and I don't really know any. What exactly are you voting for? I know what you're voting against but in actual real terms what are you voting FOR?

So who thinks this whole comment section is poppycock and that the only party that REALLY matters is the green party?
