Absolutely the only single GE 2017 results thread.

Continuity IRA officially ended their campaign today, in case anyone's interested.

 

[Dogsauce]

20 votes in it!

There were two or three other seats with similar margins. I saw someone on twitter pointing out that the Tories were 287 votes short of having an overall majority (split across several seats), this probably lowers it further. Vindicates the efforts of all those people canvassing/leafleting/getting the vote out/hassling family members. They made a difference.

(Probably also frustrates the fuck out of the Vermin )

on the subject of nutty unionists, I'm sure there's justification for posting this video from one of the flegs protests again.

Opting to spend more time exorting cash from pubs.

They can't even handle a few gangsters, so the chances of delivering a 32 county republic looked pretty slim.

Isobel Oakeshott's late night making her increasingly grumpy on BBCQT lol

Fucking rattled.

How did the BBC get such a right wing audience for this Question Time #bbcrightwingbias

Oooh yes - statement on Limerick Leader:

Continuity IRA indicates it is to end its armed campaign 

 

[Knotted]

And Labour take Kensington (Kensington!!) by 20 votes. That's all folks.

 

[Corax]

Fucking rattled.

I think she's putting in a fantastic performance.

Or rather, she would be if this was a primary school debating society meet. Bit shit for QT though.

I kinda keep hoping Shami just gets pissed off and lobs a chair at her head.

 

[Dogsauce]

Some fifteen year old Tory boy going on about Corbyn and the IRA, like they were even alive then!

 

[Corax]

Isn't Oakeshott supposed to be a political editor rather than just a tory stooge?

Not to mention that it was irrelevant to the topic and wildly out of context.

Second from bottom pic was being wrongly described as taken in South Africa.

I'd take that with a major pinch of salt . In fact I'd ignore it completely . A handful ..literally..of people centred in limerick , led..for want of a better term.. by 2 pensioners we're kicked out of the contos some years back . That's them . The Irish media are well aware of it but pushing the headline regardless for the usual misinformation purposes . Even the language used in the statement indicates it was dictated for them by a state agency . There's a court case coming up in the north were a couple of extremely elderly characters are facing jail time for posing and throwing shapes . I suspect that abject capitulation ..I mean the language used...is the price for walking . They're so reviled they're not allowed on any republican jail wing , similarly their handful of oddball supporters are routinely chased from any republican demo they occasionally try and latch onto .

Fake news basically .

 

[brogdale]

Even by the dismal standards of many BBC QT audiences there did seem to be a remarkably large proportion of that London lot who were prepared to whoop & cheer Isabel Hokumshite's bile.
Where do they find these individuals?

those berets have been doing the rounds in FB since the DUP denied a deal was imminent, though May was quick marching to the palace anyway.

And stethoscope declared Kensington afore the shitey QT I had to turn off uugggggh

 

[flypanam]

I think they get them from Red Kensington

 

[ViolentPanda]

Re Jess, I do think it's a massive shame because she has the potential to be a fucking excellent asset to Corbyn and a left-wing platform. She could have been Angela Rayner on steroids, but she chose a different path.

It's easier/less work to cunt people off, than to knuckle down and take orders.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

t

this is of course predicated on the idea that she'll survive as PM - the betting this morning was that she'd be forced out over the weekend, however malice is creaping up on anger and the cooler view is that they will force her to stay until the summer recess in abject humiliation, at which point they'll have a leadership election to which she won't be invited, and then dumped in preperation for an october election, but if she puts a foot wrong she'll be out on her arse long before that.

This would all seem very likely and, from their point of view, sensible, except that there's the small matter of the brexit negotiations in 11 days' time. How can May postpone the talks and continue as PM? How can she participate in the talks only to be replaced within weeks without damaging those replacing her? And then, of course, how do they stop haemorrhaging support in the lead-in to a second election?

Oh dear. They appear to have some problems.

The guy in the blue beret on Robinsons left is Noel Little . He was nabbed in a Paris hotel room in the middle of negotiating an arms deal with apartheid South Africa agents . Exchanging British missile technology and parts..Blowpipe anti air missile...stolen from the Shorts plant in Belfast in exchange for weapons shipments .
Part of a previous weapons shipment fell by complete accident into the RUCs hands . The terrorist driving that car also had Noel littles phone number written on his hand . the remainder of that mid 1980s shipment was used to slaughter literally hundreds of innocent civilians . The vast bulk of it is still out there .

Noel Littles daughter is DUP rising star Emma Little Pengelly . She refuses to disavow her fathers actions . Which were not only terrorist in nature but treason also . He was passing on British mlitary secrets to a foreign intelligence agency . A practice she refuses to condemn .

Emma was elected Mp for south Belfast yesterday . So Theresa May is at her beck and call today .

Nice end to the election:
UK general election 2017: Labour wins Kensington, last seat to declare – live

 

[Idris2002]

While taking some students to Stormont about 10 years ago, I glimpsed the flag of the apartheid regime proudly fluttering from a window in Protestant East Belfast.

 

[ViolentPanda]

WTF, they are creationists?

Some of them even subscribe to Bishop Berkeley's dating of the earth's age to about (currently) 4400 years. These are not stout, stable-minded prods, they're loonspuds.

Why would the EU even bother taking her remotely seriously ? They won't . They'll sit there and piss themselves laughing .

I would .

Although they do have a point about line dancing...
