UK election 2019

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

premier radio ?
That's the station that begs the gullible religios people for money to pay the presenters on the pretext of giving bibles to the hethans isn't it?

[Nearly Sane]

And of course viewers in NI have their own programme too. Some very interesting results.

First time there is a majority for nationalist parties - Hmmmm

[Nearly Sane]

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

That's definitely true

[Anchorman]

Yep.
I think the Beeb seems to have skirted rount that.
I think it's very significant - and, in my pinion, positive.
Perhaps it might force the DUP to look to Stormont again.

Talks starting on Monday - let's hope they go well - though Johnson's Brexit will be a strain I think

[bluehillside Retd.]

Does anyone else think Len McCluskey has an awful lot to answer for?

I see Dennis Skinner the Labour MP for Bolsover in Derbyshire is out after nearly 50yrs as an MP. He lives in Clay Cross, a village not far from the place in which we lived when we first married in 1969. My husband was a junior teacher at the then grammar school in Chesterfield.

A sad end. So we now have Peter Bottomley as Father of the House.

Scary and good

Does anyone know why it takes that last constituency to count its votes?

[SusanDoris]

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

That is so wrong!! And rather patronisingly wrong too. Do you think I'm some dumb old dear who can't think for herself?!!. Did you not notice the opening 'irrelevant P.S.? *sigh*

Christine's comment is unpleasant and untrue.

Yeah, Tony Blair making you tea in his pajamas is very scary indeed.

Possibly this

Especially given pajamas are not the best thing to drink tea from

Just heard absolute fuckwit Labour MP Richard Burgon on the radio explaining why Labour lost by blaming everyone and everything he could think of except for Corbyn and the people around him. Absolutely clueless. This stuff is making me angry now - just at the time when we so desperately need well-funded healthcare, education, social welfare etc as the tories are about to take an even bigger axe to all of it this joker just doubles down to ensure it's even less likely to happen come another election. It's pure People's Front of Judea stuff while the scumbags move in unimpeded and dismantle everything good they can lay their self-serving little hands on.

Corbyn: the gift that keeps on giving - to the tories.

Susan,

Not at all sure what difference the 'irrelevant P.S' makes - it was not at all clear if you had understood that it was the Tories lying.

I agree with Christine that it is depressing to see that they have won the election by lying throughout and avoiding scrutiny, hiding behind a three word slogan.

Labour at least had some idea of the kind of society they want us to have - although I would agree they were unable to demonstrate how they could build and run it.

blue,
I agree with you about Burgon
He's just a self serving busybody gobshite who likes the limelight and the sound of his own voice (which to me sounds as camp as pink Christmas tree)

Yes, I heard that too ...never mind - just seen Walter's post!

No it isn't. Re-read the whole part of that thread again.

I have and her initial comment wasn't pleasant, imo.

[Aruntraveller]

The point is SD hadn't realised it was the Tories who lied about the child on the floor and then lied about a Labour activist punching someone. So SD was wrong. Christine had every right to point that out when I had also done the same as had other posters.

Apparently a wedding ring has been found in a ballot box in Greater Manchester, which is rather strange, especially as no one has come forward to claim it. I wonder if the person put it in the box deliberately to spite their partner, maybe after a row?
