Trains, Banks and Public/Private Ownership - Prev.Predict UK Gen.Election Result

[mongers]

Was May ever publicly for a hard border in Ireland?

She is for it unless she's not, in which case she is against it, although being for it is an option as well.  She wants to do stuff, stuff that will happen once it's done.  She will be decisive and make decisions, and those decisions will be what is decided, decisively, once the decision is made.

Indeed, she intends to stay on as PM to provide "certainty" 

She's 'aving a laff 

Certainty as in Britain really will have a coalition of chaos? 

[Richard Hakluyt]

"My government will provide certainty, only the Conservatives can guarantee a complete balls-up in the negotiations with the EU."

That DUP gal looks menacing. 

[Zanza]

Read that DUP is religious-reactionary and opposes LGBT rights, abortion, is in favor of death penalty, does believe in creationism, doesn't believe in climate change etc. And that's a government party in Britain now? 

[Eddie Teach]

They sound like Republicans.

Need I remind you that much of the American South is dominated by immigrants from Northern Ireland

[HVC]

the Irish ruin everything.

[Zanza]

I guess David Cameron is very happy about the result. If May is knifed in the back in the next days or weeks her only legacy will be that she botched a general election and needlessly squandered time and harded positions on Brexit.

Down right corner.



They really should stick to drawing dudes in ski masks.

Reunite Ireland!

May = Angela Merkel 2.0 or a cheap knock-off?

Well, I thought this was all quite remarkable. Obviously any time the party of the feral rich gets a kick in the teeth, I'm always delighted but there were a couple of components to this election that I thought were particularly noteworthy. The young actually voted, that doesn't happen very often. The Labour party was able to get a strong showing (an extremely unexpected strong showing) at the polls with a manifesto that was identifiable and unapologetically left wing, rather than the Tory manifesto without the overt racism and xenophobia that we've been offered for the last 25 years or so.

The hated geography teacher and his unacceptable views from the 70's has apparently pulled off something quite confounding. what now Blairites? Double down on the hate I expect. 

[fromtia]

Also can't wait for this Conservative and Unionist government of Strength and Stability, the only credible government and the only credible Prime Minister that can lead us out of the chaos of brexit created by the Conservative Party. You couldn't make this stuff up.

Pretty sure you could. That is a political script as old as dirt.
