UK election 2019

Not sad (even ironically) Steve: since many of us locals are delighted to be rid of her.

So am I.

[SteveH]

Do the Labour voters here really, really believe that if that Party had achieved a majority and Corbyn had become PM the country would have been significantly better governed, prosperous, confident, with public - no longer privatised - services running more efficiently with better pay structures, massive government loans gradually being paid back, that there would be well-funded welfare systems country-wide, and that there would be flourishing trade agreements with Europe?

Yes, I really, really do.

[Stranger]

Irrelevant P.S.: That fixed/arranged film and outrage about the child having to sleep on the floor in an A&E, along with, apparently, someone dressed up as a nurse, was a disgrace. One advantage of social media is that it was quickly debunked.

Looks like you've swallowed a lie: There is no evidence to suggest the photo of a boy sleeping on a hospital floor was staged.

You really shouldn't rely on social media for this sort of thing - unless it's a reputable news source and fact checked.

What an unmitigated disaster this election has been.

One or two bright spots in the general carnage: Swinson getting the heave-ho, and the SNP's success in Scotland.

Indeed. I personally liked this one:

Yes of course there were lies all round but I just mention that one.

You've got that wrong the subsequent story circulated by your party was the fake news. The hospital in question has confirmed this happened and offered a full apology.

I was a staunch Labour supporter until the party voted to elect Red Ed as their leader - since then it has gone from bad to worse with the loony left taking over.  Very sad.

   



Look on the bright side - we wiped the 'looney left' out here...the only token Labour MP left in Scotland is a Blairite.
Twenty years ago, if a banana stood for Labour here, he was a shoe-in. Now there's only one banana left, and the monkey's coming.

[Anchorman]

I'd have preferred to see Scotland stay in the union, it no longer looks like it will be staying, shame.

ippy

   


Never mind...with the results the way they are, you might have to buy a box of Kleenex for Northern Ireland as well.

[Anchorman]

You mean starting the fight for independence??!!

That's very sad. You must have heard the story about the benefits of staying together.....

 



No; what benefits?
That's a nre one on me.

  ans of course that doesn't cover the lie about one of Hancock's people being punched.

[Roses]

I think Corbyn should do the decent thing and resign straight away. Our Labour MP, Mark Tami, who regained his seat, would make a good leader of that party, he is a good MP having done right by his constituency.

I enjoyed that for personal reasons.

Bet the lying cowardly racist dangerous Etonian likes you tickling his arsehole with your tongue

hahaha,
Says the leader of the R&E brown nosing echo chamber .
TBH what amuses me is the way you all pass round the Kool-aid and then spit your dummies out in unison

Happy days 😂

It's always good to have a court jester as well.

How depressing.  And how depressing that Susan Doris doesn't realise who's lying to her.

Small comfort from the prospect of a united Ireland and the Tories and fans of Brexit having to own the consequences when there's nobody else left to blame.  Though I expect there'll be someone to scapegoat if they look hard enough.

Especially one who uses American idioms. Had to look up Kool Aid. Apparently refers to the cult of Jonestown. Seems accurate to me when applied to Johnson.

To cut SusanDoris a little slack, she does have to rely on a screen reader to navigate the internet. Goodness knows it's difficult enough to separate the lies from the truth on here without having another interface to deal with.

(I once, as part of my work, tried to use one of these screen reader things - it is a completely different, and to me, an exceptionally frustrating process!)

And there is so much fake news, that when it is debunked it doesn't have the same impact and is easy to miss.

Haud the bus!
If you build up a reasonable portfolio of sites on your 'Favourites' list, surfing isn't hard with a screen reader.
I've even been known to haunt the Scottish Tories' site - though I need to shower afterwards.

(Could have been that BJ 😱)

Mr Nearly,
You're welcome , the pleasure is all mine 😆

[SteveH]

You should read some of the sanctimonious flapdoodle on the Premier Christian Radio Facebook page. Absolutely emetic.

I wasn't making a criticism of SusanDoris, I'm sorry it came over that way.  What I find depressing is that the Conservatives' blatant and pretty much continual dishonesty has been so effective. 

My bus and train were almost completely silent this morning, apart from a few squeaks from children and coughing.  I live in a city damaged and disparaged by the Tories over decades.  The EU helped us out of the hole the Tories dug for us.  I don't think there's much hope for a bright future here.
