Land of Hope & Glory? - UK Politics and other stuff

Get Brexit done just too convincing a slogan I guess, plus the media deciding the most important thing to cover was Corbyns “anti-Semitism”

At least you guys will soon get to experience the joys of American style healthcare. BorisCare kinda has a nice ring to it

As well as feeling depressed about this shit I also spent the day sorting out my application to become French. Not like Macron is much of advance, and there’s Le Pen to fade, but no regrets. That’s if they’ll have a Brit after this ludicrous display.

Was so weird to be living in the UK with people jealous of my Irish citizenship.

I’ve got the paperwork for an Irish passport - my sister did the work last year for her son (sis and me adopted by Irish mother) - so that’s an option I’ll look at more seriously now,

I think it’s time to realize that in a lot of places, people don’t really want liberal ideas or policies any more. Just what it is.

It’s been that way across the world over the last several years, the only safe on a national scale left political country I can think of atm might well get invaded (Venezuela).

Sorry guys. Have a bunch of UK friends, just feel awful. Stay strong.

It’s hard to talk about “want” in an environment of billionaire, Russian, fascist non stop propaganda

That’s part of it, sure. But it doesn’t account for such a sweeping rejection.

Land of No Hope

(ch4) The prospect of LibDems losing their only seat in Wales described as “parliamentary wipeout for the LibDems in Wales”

… And Tories.

Prof Sir John Curtice, the psephologist who leads the team that produced the exit poll, told the BBC that the poll predicted that Blyth Valley would turn Conservative. He said:

The exit poll forecast that the Conservatives would narrowly win Blyth Valley with a 15-point drop in the Labour vote, and we had a 15-point drop in the Labour vote and the Tories narrowly won Blyth Valley.

He added that the 18-point drop for Labour in Sunderland South was “also anticipated”. He went on:

Do not be surprised, particularly when we get further south and we get to much more pro-Remain constituencies that we do not see spectacular advances by the Conservatives.

But in the north of England, in Leave areas, in working class seats, the Labour party does seem to be in serious trouble

Tonight is not a complete disaster: I done gone learned a new word!
