If it had gone the other way, I would have been singing “The lunatics are taking over the asylum” this morning I'd say your more of a remainer, there are a few definite remoaners gone AWOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't even give my name, she told me, she then said, you must be the last from street X as we've had loads, Gentleman in the middle wrote down the number that lady on the left gave him from the polling card I was given. Lady on the right simply asks, do you have something with your name please, nothing added to the budget at what so ever, if someone says err no, I have nothing chances are there is something fishy going on. I wasn't asked for any identification, how can they justify a system so porous. Edited December 13, 2019 by Vince Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 The FTSE is up the pound is up, that says it all really. And in Brussels they now know Boris has got a clear mandate and means business. Nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you couldn't have been much more wrong. Thankfully! If the Cons had stood aside in a few seats Labour might well have lost a couple more seats. But hey ho the nightmare before Christmas is avoided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisjpainter Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Right. I'm up, I'm awake, I've had a big English (not continental...) breakfast and can now properly assess what's what. Half the country voted for leave parties, half for remain parties, so there really is no point in a second referendum and The Lib Dems are nowhere, despite all the bluster. We have a government than can now actually get on and do something and, if it wants to turn a majority into a legacy, will need to address some serious social issues. Oh and Facebook is full of hatred. Have I missed anything out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What so many don't realise is that social media use is inversely correlational to age and voting numbers. The young are all over social media, but the biggest voting demographic is the older generations. Which is why a lot of people my age got a bit of a surprise when the results came in. If you lived your life in Social Media, and only had friends who thought like you, then you'd have been forgiven for thinking Labour were doing well. They've now turned their disappointment into hatred and want to lynch Tory voters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Labour proposals to nationalise everything they could possible get their hands really didn't help them. Their leader is a man who has publicly spoken in glowing terms about the government in Venezuela....that tends to make people a bit twitchy.

There was some Labour female (didn't get name) on the radio today claiming that they lost mainly because the offered a mild social democratic manifesto rather than a radical socialist programme which is what their core voters really wanted.

That leaves another big question mark dave , bo jos bird might be buzzing in his ear until the screw gets tightened even further with shooting 😕. As a labour voter (not since blair),I voted conservative to help save my country ,and to help my children's future , the thought of Corbyn and his band of lunatics running the country , really frightened the xxxx out of me to be honest , the shooting side of things were small potatoes.
