That's all, folks! Goodness only knows what happens now. But at least that Grade A twat is no longer representing us abroad.

Yeah, quite the fucking Tory victory, wasn’t it? That’s funny, because in reality they didn’t win either.

Calling an unnecessary GE, decimating their majority, a hung parliament, having to buy out a bunch of religious fundamentalists with those “magic money tree” funds, and allowing labour to achieve a swing not seen in over 70 years, despite their best efforts to brainwash the electorate against a repeatedly re-elected MP with scruples.

Like I said, it won’t work next time - people know better. But keep up the hyperbole, it’s entertaining.

BishopBrennansArse · 09/07/2018 19:47

And those who wish it to continue because they don't like the personality of one man when his party has policies that would really help my family and families like mine I see as deliberately malicious.

Read the thread Bishop

No one wants a better Labour Party then me but we havnt got it. If you voted Corbyn instead of cooper don’t moan to me. I voted sensibly

TammySwansonTwo · 09/07/2018 19:48

What, with his costed and endorsed manifesto?

Because the tories and austerity have done such great things for GDP?

BishopBrennansArse · 09/07/2018 19:48

I wasn't able to vote, I joined after Corbyn was elected and couldn't vote the next time. HTH.

No they still won and if you were one of the prats who voted Corbyn shame on you for this mess

ThePlanetGoesOnBeingRound3 · 09/07/2018 19:49

@Heydugeesflipflop

He was picketing.
Read some recent history, Margaret Thatcher's Government used the police as a political arm.

You either don't know this, you don't believe it or you don't care. Which is it?

I am telling you that Labour’s secret weapon is David Miliband. They keep bringing him out to talk on Brexit and they’re biding their time. They’ll find him a seat when the time is right and he’ll be back, it has been on the cards for a long time but they’re playing it quietly until the time is right

TammySwansonTwo · 09/07/2018 19:50

Oh so it wasn’t a hung parliament, with the tories winning just 2% more of the vote than labour?

Revisionist bollocks, but keep going.

Shame on the tories for this mess.

It’s not just corbyn

The whole labour front bench is peopled by communist zealots.

Who hate Jews

Seasawride · 09/07/2018 19:51

Tammy

A costed and endorsed manifesto means shit! They pay for that.

No one trusted Corbyn and worse Abbott.

Again did you vote for him?

Shame shame shame on you

BishopBrennansArse · 09/07/2018 19:51

If you like the policies though why the obsession with the leader? He won't be around forever.

shortsaint · 09/07/2018 19:52

Until he ends up as PM?

BishopBrennansArse · 09/07/2018 19:52

I don't see him being around til he's 95 🙄

I’m just offering some practical advice - if you don’t wish to encounter the police force, then don’t put yourself in situations that do

But I admire your heroic defiance to the government. And I’m sure the local police simply loved being exposed to a mob of fruit loops intent on trouble

I don’t need to read it I lived it! I am over 50 I remember it.

I never voted for Maggie not sure why you think I did???

My whole family were Labour Party members until Corbyn took over with momentum.

You just be older than me if your dh was a picket? Where was he?

Spitting happened both sides! Awful times I sgree?

Bluntness100 · 09/07/2018 19:55

I don't think for one minute Corbyn will negotiate Brexit. That'll be delegated. I'd love to know what's considered competent about May

To whom? Who will be delegate to? The point is he doesn't want to be responsible for it. To be the face of it. To be the person who is seen to lead the country through it. It's a career ender. It's a no win for everyone.

"Who decided May was competent"? That would be the British public who voted Tory and the Tory party members who voted her as leader.

Corbyn likes being in opposition, he's made a career out of it. He made a career out of being a back bench rabble rouser. He is comfortable there. Corbyn has no desire to be in power at this time.

PestymcPestFace · 09/07/2018 19:56

Maybe Nicola Sturgeon should be invited to form a coalition government .

Seasawride · 09/07/2018 19:56

Bishop

It’s not so much Corbyn he’s a hapless idiot like Abbott it’s the unelected momentum behind them.

Like the EDL, etc very scary people

Seasawride · 09/07/2018 19:58

Yes100% sgree about Corbyn

Poor sod was a happy hippy teenage rebellion in cords!

Thesearepearls · 09/07/2018 19:59

Given the likely alternative PMs

  • Jacob Rees Mogg
  • Boris Johnson
  • Michael Gove
  • Andrea Leadsom
  • Jeremy Corbyn

I’m prepared to go down on my knees and beg Theresa May to stay on ...

Seasawride · 09/07/2018 19:59

Nicola only cares about devolving Scotland. Scotland are fed up with her. We’d been very quiet lately

Seasawride · 09/07/2018 19:59

Miners Strike.
And fucking spitting DID NOT fucking happen on both sides.
My husband would no more spit at a policeman than he would kick a fucking puppy.

He was treated like shite.

My brother was a policeman during the same period.
He was sent to Yorkshire.
He made a fortune in overtime.
He spat too.
Even though all his family were miner's and he left school to try a mining engineering degree, he couldn't cut the mustard.
Police force took him.

The fucking tory-voting free-mason bastard that he was.

He's dead now.
