How fucking depressing.

I don’t like being rude to women but what a cunting cow Hopkins is

I've never seen anything like media bias against Labour ever though. I've seen nationalist media here in Bosnia, I've seen Fox News and CNN, but boy, the way Daily Mail gang were attacking Corbyn was something else indeed.

Agree with you on everything apart from having a bottle. Maybe at some historic times, but you had a chance to get your country with a pen few years ago and you failed. Coming from a country that had t paid dozens of thousands of lives and miserable 30 years after to have it half as good as you could have, it was shocking to me. Them fucking Rangers fans screwed it though.

Wowsers. big words.

Totally disagree with you.
I voted for Brexit and I voted last night for the conservatives.
My vote had nothing to do with hatred of labour or corbyn, it had everything to do with labour's flawed and confused Brexit strategy.
If you asked a lot of people why they went to the tories it was because labour mps have disgracefully defied the brexit vote time and time again.
Some mps in high percentage areas still didn't listen and voted against every vote in the house of commons.
They alienated and rode roughshot over their constituents and last night paid a heavy price.
And they deserved to lose their seats.
I had a leaflet from my mp Kate Green which I read with interest yet it stated I could have the final say on Brexit?
I did that in 2016. Labours whole election approach was a shambles.

Even as a remainer and labour supporter I’ve got to agree with everything you say here. I think we had a valid point about the Brexit vote being a farce but the country has certainly decided properly now and we’ve got to accept that’s what most of the country now want. But I put the blame fully on the pathetic efforts of the Labour Party and their whishy washy stance on Brexit. Just hope Johnson keeps at least some of his promises. I doubt it. Wouldn’t trust any of them on either side as far as I could throw them though unfortunately.

For me it's as simple as this, since the tories took charge we have seen an unprecedented rise in homeless people living on the streets across the country. A massive rise in the amount of working class people struggling to feed there families and having to rely on food banks to survive.
In the meantime we have seen a decieving campaign to force through a £20 billion waste of tax payers cash on a high speed train line (HS2) only to find out that the true cost is closer to £100 billion and the destruction of the British countryside.

For me they all lie and all deceive but with Labour least you feel that every person in the country will have the opportunity to at least survive with a roof over there heads and food in there belly.

Nobody's saying they lost solely because of it.
But it doesn't help if the Ref and Var are against you.

they weren’t against labour when they were moderate and electable though were they? The press was supportive then.

Corbyn obviously needs to go but I think had the level of intensity from the tabloid media been applied to Boris instead we'd have been looking at a very different result this morning.

Obviously doesn't detract that Corbyn has failed

 

[Bovril]

I wasn't talking about you. The Boris class who hate you as much as they do me. you. We are resource rich, if we wetr actually a cost, Pig Fucker would never have run up here to make promises they never kept. It's what we want. What we have just voted for. A referendum. I am not even convinced we would vote for it, but we deserve the right to ask.[/QU
Good luck with your referendum, and I agree after last night SNP do have a mandate to deliver it. I don't have a problem with Indyref2 its the way the English are always portrayed as the enemy.

The reaction on here to the Tory victory from the usual suspects only confirms what @Rascal posted a few weeks ago - that the reason for voting Tory was fuelled by hatred of Labour and Corbyn.
The polls have borne this out with regard to Jezz ( and that's a separate discussion in it's own right).
There is nothing positive in the support for future Tory Government
Getting Brexit done is just about implementing a decision made over three years ago that is a bit shit but we have to go through for democratic reasons.
There are no sunlit uplands on the horizon, at best it's a slow decline and maybe a bit of Singapore deregulation to keep the Northern patient ticking over.
And repeat in five years time.

get your head out of the sand, brexit was the major reason labour nosedived, its the main reason the leave voting areas turned on labour, because they were ignored for 3yrs.
it took more than just corbyn to make an ex miner vote tory
