Transition period of 50 years?

To be honest, I though Preston were a haf-decent side last year (despite the results against us) and I thought they might be one of the teams that would have prevented the mackems getting near the play-offs. Not saying they would have won it or anything but I could have seen them finishing 7th or 8th and maybe being an obstacle. Having said that I still think he's a cunt so that suits.

Just started that but not sure I can take more fucked up shit just now after watching Legion and Stranger Things recently.

Yep - propagating this idea that anyone with money works hard and anyone without is a lazy skiver. Just like when Cameron accused people on benefits for their presumption of entitlement with no thought for that of him and his ilk.

You could pay MPs 500k a year and a hell of a lot of them would still seek more income. They'd also get around any demand to sell rental properties by shifting them to relatives etc.

I thought of the second series of auf wiedershen pet where Ally Fraser has 3 options for the old folks home and wanted the worst - hate to say it but the shift towards profit before anything else is the root cause. Thanks once again to Thatcher.

I saw a comment that the policy the tories made law pretty much because of the mail whinging about the SNP where only English MPs can vote on English laws means they won't be able to pass any such laws now. A bit of karma at least.

Says leader now gone.

That's why I was contemptuous of this "progressive alliance" stuff - I would never trust the lib dems to not side with the tories again.

I feel a little sorry for him for at least being honest about his faith - of course being that way inclined leads to scrutiny. May has played the vicar's daughter/faith angle as well and has a similarly iffy voting records on gay rights but nobody asks her the same question. Of course the big question they always avoid asking capitalist Christians is the rich man/eye of the needle/you're fucked one.

I think we all agree on here that it's a cluster fuck but the problem is the cost of saying to so many people, however correctly, that they were wrong to vote for it. I think it will be hard for anyone to get any kind of deal that won't cost them in some way - that's why I'm happy for now for the tories to own it.

Rudd needs a new seat before she can be leader.

They'll remember to seed their manifesto with bribes - thing is they can't really increase their share of the old vote.

Survation has Labour at 45% now. I feel a bit like the Democrats with Trump - might suit labour to give them a little while to dig their hole and reap a bigger benefit. Not sure if they'd be helped or hindered by Johnson being leader - I can see some people liking him but he snaps under pressure which will be illustrated nicely if he's centre stage of a GE campaign.

I loved the Batman series. RIP

Has the cunt lied to the Queen? To the tower it is.

In her mind it only has to last till the boundary changes. Thing is it's going to be so shit I don't think that will guarantee a win.

Sell the chance to actually win which was never on the cards this time.

Coalition of Cunts it is.

Just read someone saying if a turnout figure of 72% of 18-24 year olds is true then the tabloids are fucked as that group simply doesn't read them.

I hope Corbyn isn't his usual too nice self and absolutely kicks the fucking shit out of the Scottish labour party - they advised supporters to vote Tory to damage the SNP - SNP MPs that could have now helped from a Labour fucking government. Cunts.

Just got up. I rescind my earlier pessimism and look forward to interesting days ahead. The DUP gaining 2 seats and Sinn Fein gaining 3 means the Vermin will stay in even if they fall short of 320 but a second election looks likely. As others have said, the shy Labour "stars" need to get off their arses.

I went to bed on the Newcastle EU vote - knew it wasn't turning out right then.

My cynical pessimism based on those two makes me think Tory majority of 20.

Our fx desk is working all night - could be fun tomorrow.
