That email is actually a bit embarrassing.

It would be nice, Pain, I grant you. Not critical though. Wink

Eric Trump actually complained about those who "sit behind a computer and send a mean tweet."

The blinders are strong with this one.

Has Laurie Penny actually included who this 'US reaction' was from?

This is how dictatorships speak. Giving the Tories a landslide victory will mean all dissent is treated as treason, just like this. twitter.com/bbcnews/status/854452742454169601

Ah. You popped me to it. Should have known that you wouldn't be able to resist it! Grin

GingerIvy · 19/04/2017 00:12

I've got that page up,however, I know I saw somewhere that 2 polling stations were being held open later until 755pm, so that might delay things.

I don't like the sound of these voters being turned away. Anyone know the significance of the voting machines (not sure if that's the technical term) being stolen a few days ago?

cozietoesie · 19/04/2017 00:15

Ah. They got hold of the judge then?

cozietoesie · 19/04/2017 00:17

Potentially, not of huge significance in the overall picture if I recall. You can be fairly sure, though, that the Dem lawyers will be all over it if the results are close - so don't worry. (Too much.)

cozietoesie · 19/04/2017 00:19

First results apparently expected around 12.30. I'd go to bed.

Shame it didn't result in........ greater pictures. Wink

GingerIvy · 19/04/2017 00:24

I wonder how many people got turned off GOP and voted Dem after seeing Trump and Co's aggressive tweeting and dirty tactics??

Sorry - I was going to say 'Biglier' but my courage failed me. Grin
