Absolutely the only single GE 2017 results thread.

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

I would .

Which in other circumstances would be hilarious, but given this will effect people no matter which they voted for Brexit, is also rather scary.

 

[ViolentPanda]

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

True. Well worse than sodomy, is line-dancing. Don't mind bum-fun, but shuffling shoes? Definitely not!

I don't think they're specially keen on sodomy either, if they do seem to go on about it a lot.

Read it and weep

Creationism and political power in Northern Ireland

The Caleb foundation are essentially a DUP committee . Just like " Save Ulster from Sodomy " .

They'll be pushing to get creationism taught in schools alongside scientific theory , as if both carried equal weight .

They won't get far if they try that. This ism't bumfuck america ffs!

The Tories are only 8 seats down ffs, this is hardly a victory!

They do it here , in the UK . The Giants causeway is a Natural Trust site . It has a sign..from the local parliament.. saying its a few thousand years old . They've gotten far .

In fairness though they'll be happy enough just keeping their fuckwittery localised . Similarly any brakes they'll want to put on Tory austerity will be the same . Just exemption for here and fuck the Brits . them being so patriotic and all that .

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.

4400bc, not 4400 years ago

It's not the victory it is a victory. Certainly a solid position to be in for a few months from now when the Tories collapse.

It's a humiliation. They chose this fight, expected a landslide and came out diminished. It's that which most of us are enjoying.

That's all well and good, but i'm more concerned with the people in society that will continue to suffer once this bizarre honeymoon is over and the tories get back to laying the boot in.

Yeh with the massive majority of 3

Does anyone know if the Salisbury convention applies to a minority Government's manifesto, given they did not achieve a mandate?

Even if it is supposed to, fuck that. Labour, and the other parties, should disregard it and hurt May anyway they can

I don't see that happening.

There are none so blind as those that will not see

Had to lie down for a while. Labour won Kensington by 20 votes. After Henley on Thames this was the next most solid tory seat.

I keep singing the Hallelujah Chorus.

Corbyn was expected to lose seats he did not he gained despite probably the most hateful media campaign against a Labour leader ever
May was expected to gain a huge majority - she has lost the slim one she had - a huge amount of young people interested in politics and voting again how can this not be a victory

Anything can happen next

Google " Paul berry " and " sports massage " for a giggle . That one time rising ..fnyarr..DUP star also enjoyed " sports massages" from ladies too . One of whom he referred to in his recorded sting as " a wee darkie " .

Paul Berry (politician) - Wikipedia

He also plays the accordion . That's an actual accordion and not code for anything .

May was being portrayed as the new Thatcher, being eulogised by the right-wing press as their new hero, someone who could get the proles on side. She's fatally wounded after a few months and heading for the political wilderness. Another Tory great hope sidelined (see also golden child Hague and others). They're running out of plausible leaders.

 

[kebabking]

I don't see that happening.

i do, and pretty much every tory voter i know does.

theres not one who doesn't view this as the most cataclysmic defeat - and not because they felt entitled to win a huge majority, but because they see the only possible future as being humiliation and in-fighting in the short term, and a huge electoral defeat immediately following it.

they don't see themselves as having fallen off a cliff and hit the bottom with great force, but as having fallen off a cliff, got tangled up in some roots about a tenth of the way down, and they are just waiting for the roots to come away in their hands.

at least if they'd hit the bottom they've hit the bottom, and every step from that point is going up, but they see the bottom as being a long way away, but that they are trapped in a falling box.
