Brexit Arms: Election Night Lock-In

Welcome to the Brexit Arms - it's going to be a stormy old night! We're about to be buffeted from right to left and back again with no real idea what the landscape will finally look like in the morning. All are welcome to weather the storm in the warmth and safety of the Arms - but please remember this a hospitable establishment so let's try and keep it that way.

We're kicking off the evening with our Back to the 70's theme night while we wait for the big main event to unfold. The juke box is loaded with all your 70's favourites. Feel free to dance round your handbags but please, no dancing on the tables…. this could be seen as having too much fun.

As always, we've got a nice big pot of PG Tips on the brew and Camp coffee by the mugfuls in addition to our usual alcoholic beverages.

On a serious note, we know that tonight's events are going to cause some upsets. With this in mind, the mint imperial bowls on the bar have been filled with Diocalms and we urge all our customers to make use of these. There should be enough to go round as long as nobody starts trying to stockpile. We simply cannot risk the need for plumbers to unblock our loos on Friday morning, as they could have been called out on strike by then.

Landladies on duty tonight will be:

20:00-22:00 Greenish (with Babychams, Cherry B's and vol au vents)
2200-midnight Twattage (with Classic Dmitris and cheeseboard)
Midnight-0200 Singing (with stiff brandies to calm the nerves, plus a selection of fresh nuts)
0200-0400 Hate (possibly with Albanian delicacies and a hangover cure)

We'd like to get the glitter ball turning with this absolute classic:

….fingers crossed similar scenes will abound in the Arms by the end of tonight. Enjoy!

P.s. When ordering drinks between 8pm and 10pm please supply your own drinks emojis. Thankyou!

I'm scoffing shortbread now whilst the cat is ravaging the 🎄

Swindon landslide!

I'm so pleased to find a thread where I can admit to voting leave, and voting tory, without being accused of being racist scum/brainless/uncaring and having blood on my hands.

I am no big fan of Bojo, as he certainly has his faults, but at least he has a positive attitude and (at times) a certain charm that seems to influence people, so I hope that with the right team around him he might be able to get a reasonable trade deal done. As for the NHS, people on other threads are acting like a vote for tory is a vote to end the NHS. Ridiculous. Most people in this country, regardless of how they vote, think we're lucky to have the NHS. But it obviously needs a massive cash injection and/or modernising, to cope with an ageing population. Maybe they should charge people for hospital stays - say, £5 a night, towards food and other overheads? I'm not sure of the practicalities of it, but it might help offset some running costs. Also, the tory manifesto includes bringing in a law so that all immigrants would have to pay money into a bond (£750?) to cover potential NHS use. That measure seems long overdue, to me.

Lol ThisTime 😂

She's def a length, make no mistake!

Is heir apparent Wrong-Daily safe?

Would LOVE to see her deposed, and Jess 'I'm proper working class me' Philips

Will be gutted if Caroline Flint loses her seat though

SingingLily · 13/12/2019 00:38

Welcome, Defenbaker, and a large glass of whatever you fancy on the house.

I've binned the Marrow vodka though. It corroded the bottles.

You are more than welcome!!! 🍷 We do get regular attacks in here, but we usually club together and see them off quick enough!

Nice to have you here!

It still happens Defen 😩

Don't worry though - we got your back babes 😊

Twattage13 · 13/12/2019 00:40

defenbaker I just put my head above the parapet about a week ago and yes I feel the same as you. There are v few places online where one can feel safe from the left-wing / ultra-remain ranting...

DustyDiamond · 13/12/2019 00:40

Lol xpost with comrade in arms Epic 😂

Hi btw Defen 🍷

SingingLily · 13/12/2019 00:41

If the poll prediction comes to pass, Boris and the Team need to pick up the ball and thunder through the first next 100 days, changing the face of this country...while Labour and LibDems wander around looking shellshocked and trying to work out who their new leaders will be.

GreenishMe · 13/12/2019 00:45

Are we confident the exit poll will be accurate? Is anyone still a little nervous?

SingingLily · 13/12/2019 00:46

Even if it varies, it won't be by a huge amount.

Sunderland West Lab hole.
Bloody BXP. Tories would have taken that.

SingingLily · 13/12/2019 00:46

Oops,

Lab Hold

Not

Lab hole.

I hear you Twattage13!

AutumnRose1 · 13/12/2019 00:48

I’m still nervous

Welcome along Defen. It’s such a relief isn’t it, finding a place like this.

I just really hope Johnson behaves decently in Parliament now. It’s been grim.

EpicShitDippedBatBiscuit · 13/12/2019 00:49

“Are we confident the exit poll will be accurate? Is anyone still a little nervous?”

Very!!! 😬

Thistimetomorrow · 13/12/2019 00:50

Welcome Defenbaker.
I wonder if Jess Phillips will knife Jeremy in the front and not the back. Metaphorically speaking of course.
I’m checking out now patrons.
Continue the party without me.
Hopefully I will wake in the morning to a good result, unless I’m having a Bobby Ewing episode.
Night, night all.

SingingLily · 13/12/2019 00:52

As long as we don't let the blue collar voters down this time, they'll find it easier to vote Tory again next time because the psychological barrier will have been crossed.

We could be looking at ten years of Tory rule, not five.

Halton Lab hold.

Flaming Heidi Allan on now 😬

Walkingdeadfangirl · 13/12/2019 00:52

C4 seems to have abandoned impartiality and is just piling into Boris' dad Stanley.

Disgraceful for a public service broadcaster.

Defenbaker · 13/12/2019 00:52

I just checked... apparently the existing NHS fee will increase to £625, and will apply to all immigrants after Brexit, including those from the EU. Seems reasonable to me.

COME ON BOJO!!! YOU'RE NOT PERFECT, BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO DO!

SingingLily · 13/12/2019 00:53

Night night Thistimetomorrow. We'll be here tomorrow if you want a hair of the dog.

DustyDiamond · 13/12/2019 00:53

Night ✊
