Glad you find it funny. You're alright Jack.Spot on - I'm personally much better off with that result but I'm distraught.Five fucking years of Johnson's shit show.13 -
Quite. So why didn't labour trash Corbyn years ago?ken_shabby said:Good news as it may mean the end of Corbyn- but all the posters on here who rely on NHS healthcare as they get on in years are in a bit of shit now.3 -
Crazy stuff.
People voting for the Tories to f*** 95% of the country over for the benefit of the other 5% for 5 more years.13 -
Let's hope nobody loses their job or gets ill.

A massive anti Corbyn result. But the hard left have got their grips on the Labour party now and it might take years before they return to the centre.3
-
But the worrying things for me, despite leaving the EU, is that there one absolute truth of the British constitution, and that is if you have a big enough majority, you can do pretty much what you like, and a party with a manifesto as thin as the Tory one was, is worrying.2

Yep, and there's people on this thread laughing at it.ken_shabby said:Good news as it may mean the end of Corbyn- but all the posters on here who rely on NHS healthcare as they get on in years are in a bit of shit now.1 -
love it. Absolutely love it. The country have had enough of the brexit impasse and Boris’ pitch has worked. Looking forward to the labour excuses 😂😂😂3

If exit polls are true, I expected the Tories to win but not by that much. That's an absolute disaster for Labour2

I'm shocked it is showing that big a margin but them I'm also not. Unfortunately we seem to have become a country that's been far too self centred and personally a Tory majority probably means I'm better off personally as my circumstances stand right now but I do care about people less fortunate than me and God forbid anything ever happens that I'm unable to work.
If people have become that brainwashed by the rhetoric then so be it, let's go along and see what happens but one thing I'm sure of is it'll just drive an even bigger wedge between us all.2 -
So it starts with a border down the Irish sea and the UK will not have left the EU. Scotland will be entrenched yet powerless, and when the final leave structure is in place the UK will have reneged on the Good Friday Agreement as it now stands. Either way the peace process will change dramatically and it will be at high risk.
Those in need domestically are also now at high risk.
The Etonocracy are a genuine threat.1 -
If the Conservatives have got a majority of 80, they must have picked up votes from all over the country, and from people of all income levels.North Lower Neil said:Crazy stuff.

The Brexit voting seats they are likely to be winning are in poor areas.5 -
Anyone else hoping 1 of these volunteers stacks it & spills the ballot papers all over the floor or is that just me?3

Basically an English nationalist party winning big in England and a Scottish nationalist party sweeping Scotland

I'm laughing at all the remainers who campaigned, stalled & downright wanted to cancel Brexit. Dont fuck with democracy or it will come back & bite you the arse. If we had left as planned on 23rd March I'm pretty sure that The Conservatives wouldn't have got back into power......due to austerity & everything else.Callumcafc said:golfaddick said:Wow.

Glad you find it funny. You're alright Jack.
As I said.....only yourselves to blame.9 -
Tories confident of gaining Sunderland Central... heads in hands here.

Apparently, 22,000 voters were polled at 150-odd stations? If I read the figures right.
If so, that's a huge margin for error, even if you assume the (I guess) 350 safe seats weren't polled and were assumed.
I don't doubt Ipsos Mori are kosher, but this sounds like a potential overestimation.
One hopes.1 -

Brexit has been defeated so far by the Irish border, and ultimately the Irish border will continue to defeat Brexit.
Remainers are observers not the impediment.1 -
Bloody hell. I’m pleased with that if it’s true.
I will be more pleased if Corbyn Abbott McDonnell etc step down and potentially others come in and we can have a proper electable opposition.8 -
It really is baffling, you can show these people the devastation to their local areas that Brexit will bring but it will be ignored for whatever reason. We live in an age where data and evidence is abundant but ever more so people are choosing not to believe it. What's that thing about stupidity and doing the same thing over and over?Callumcafc said:Tories confident of gaining Sunderland Central... heads in hands here.2 -
