The 2019 General Election

[Gramsci]

My chats at work today. Well I'm just about the only Brit I bumped into in my work today in central London. Not unusual for me.

As nearly all the people I met today were from other EU countries. So not a scientific sample from what I hear on BBC news tonight are the "Labour heartlands" as opposed to the "London Metropolitan Liberals" - me I presume..

As one said in response to Boris victory "This country is becoming more fascist".

Asked my partner about this when I got home( she is from another EU country). She said she is happy to live in London but would not like to live outside it. Agreed this country is becoming more "fascist".

Wondering if Scotland is an option if things get really bad. Bit cold though.

to remind people Boris did say:

European citizens have been able " treat the UK as if it’s part of their own country” for too long.

And he got away with considering he got a thumping majority.

So imo voting Tory because one is pissed off is crap.

And to think we could joke about this in 2014.

Cold is good for the soul, you appreciate the heat so much more.

You're welcome to come up.

Rules are...don't be a dick.

it's not my place to say what anyone should do in other places. we just do what we can here, like you

got anything to say about my facts? instead of your shite?

you make out like you talk for the working class...but you don't get the concept of an ear thermometer or getting rid of the bedroom tax...you got kids, old parents, health needs, you live in a house? better nhs, better schools, better (sigh it seems) everything? you're an angry fantasist who seems to want to take our shit away and make it even with your (shit) shit

You certainly suggested that you had plenty to say when you posted the below, but you seem to have either bottled it or realised what a ridiculous nationalist thing it was to say that could have zero practical impact whatsoever on the significantly more left wing voters than scotland voters in england and wales:

I think the important thing here is...urban75 is absolutely useless...they don't even register...the opinions are outdated and irrelevant, any actions are inconsequential.

Is anyone going to move forward?

Lovely country Scotland. Thing is my partner is Spanish. My central heating in temperate London is already on. Anything below 25 degrees is cold

I am not surprised at this Tory majority.

The Tories had a simple message, they aligned themselves strongly with the leave vote which attracted first time Tory voters and managed to stay on message most of the time.

Labour by comparison had masses of policies, I think many scared middle Britain, and their policy on Brexit was a cop out, neither attractive to leave or remain voters. Impossible to know how popular their various policies might have been because they already lost Brexit voters.

 

[Pickman's model]

I'm done, cheers.

You're overdone

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

Yeah come to Scotland you’ll meet loads of people waxing lyrical about the cold weather


Fuck me

You've been in another country for the past few weeks, I see, where they don't show UK news

And the gnats and mosquitoes

 

[MrSki]

Is there nothing about the protests in Whitehall & Glasgow that the younguns are mounting?

Sorry if been posted before.

I’ve had too much rum to get this. Are you saying something about small chuffs.

Only the rural ones are in chat atm I think.
Refugees are welcome all over Scotland, nearly every wee town here came out in protest and said so in 2015(unprecedented), I shall say this again and double down.

I work in the NHS. I'm not in today but lots of colleagues have been in touch. We feel pretty broken but I suppose at least we're all in despair together.

There's already been talk of when we'll be striking over the US deal.

First thing they’ll do is undermine NICE so they can jack up drug costs. They’ll dismantle it over time. But I reckon that’ll be the first slice cut from the cake. Yum Yum.

 

[MrSki]

The Dutch media seemed to have a better grasp about what was going on over the election.

Yes, that is indeed the only thing we ever talk about.

Actually, a random thought occurs to me. Because of what you said. Now I am wondering about songs that celebrate cold weather. Are there some? I wonder.

Great isn't it. Won't be reported though.

My bum is cold and my face is white and this is my message to you

That's a piece of shit cartoon. Come the fuck on.

No...they'll start with the technology contracts. No-one will notice that.
