Monitoring election from the mosel valley.

 

Surprised things backfired on may and that labour did so well. But then many voters are thick. Think torys will have functioning govt propped up by dup. Not keen on dup who's leader can often be seen at ibrox, but they have some good policies.

 

Debacle for snp, esp as their main personalities are out on their ear (clear message) and many seats were only retained by skin of their teeth.

 

Ultimately indy threat weakened (good) but brexit threatened (bad). Ho hum.

MY 2017 MANIFESTO: Strong, not entirely stable, leadership

1. The abolition of the Lords (except me).

2. Full facial coverings to be kept legal, especially bucket-related headgear.

3. No third runway to be built at Heathrow: where we’re going we don’t need runways.

4. Ceefax to be brought back immediately, with The Oracle and other Teletext services to be rolled out by the next Parliament.

5. Regeneration of Nicholson’s Shopping Centre, Maidenhead.

6. Buckethead on Brexit: a referendum should be held about whether there should be a second referendum.

7. Nuclear weapons: A firm public commitment to build the £100bn renewal of the Trident weapons system, followed by an equally firm private commitment not to build it. They’re secret submarines, no one will ever know. It’s a win win.

8. Nationalisation of Adele: in order to maximise the efficient use of UK resources, the time is right for great British assets to be brought into public ownership for the common good. This is to be achieved through capital spending.

9. A moratorium until 2022 on whether Birmingham should be converted into a star base.

10. Legalisation of the hunting of fox-hunters.

11. New voting age limit of 16 to be introduced. New voting age limit of 80 to be introduced too.

12. Katie Hopkins to be banished to the Phantom Zone.

13. Stop selling arms to Saudi Arabia. Start buying lasers from Lord Buckethead.

14. Prospective MPs to live in the seat they wish to represent for at least five years before election, to improve local representation in Parliament.

15. Free bikes for everyone, to help combat obesity, traffic congestion and bike theft.

 

 

The boy is not far of the mark with some of his ideas actually.

People should be kicking up fuck about this DUP pish. A party of terrorist sympathisers propping up a minority government? Fuck sake.

 

The media are too busy dissecting the corpse, they'll start as soon as the government fuck up and they'll be scapegoats.

 

You'll also have millions of Tory deniers, some just like CS, staunch Catholic, just posted up they have good policies. Says it all when he can turn a blind eye to their Catholic hating, sectarianism and terrorism and take comfort in them propping up the Torys.

 

People like Ruth Davidson should step down or leave the party. How a gay woman that is planning to marry her partner can stay in a party that calls the DUP their friends and enter deals with them is beyond belief. Just shows she has no backbone, no conviction of beliefs and no scruples.

Shes incompetent, an arch-hypocrite and a fat oaf who has risen well above her station (raking mcdonalds bins for leftover burgers) thanks to playing the race card at every turn in her career.

 

Thats my summary.

 

Please explain how Dianne Abbot is less competent than Theresa May.

Entirely unsurprising ignorant response from someone who believes in an imaginary phantom overlord.

Think Corbyn would be well within his rights to hang out the bedroom window showing a middle finger and shout "get it right fuckin up the lot of ye". May is a dead duck and their new hordes in Scotland will get flattened along with many more of the SNP at the next election. So much for Corbyn leading Labour into oblivion. Even since the result May is already slithering towards disaster by cosying up to one side in Ireland. De Oirish on the Cafflik side will be very displeased.

The trouble the Tories have now is that any deal involving the DUP will have to be 2-way. They will want something in return for helping pass any legislation through parliament and trying to deal with the DUP on any NI issues could be detrimental.

 

This will blow up in Theresa Mays face and it won't be long until senior Tories distance themselves from this. There is no hope in hell of her achieving a hard brexit when the DUP are strictly against it. A hard Brexit cut could lead to a physical border in Ireland which the DUP are completely against.

 

She will be out on her arse, we know it, she knows it, but she is perhaps buying herself and her party some time here. If we have another GE anytime soon, I have no doubt the Tories will get turned over and this shite with the DUP will be the nail in the coffin. Brexit negotiations are going to be a bloody disaster in the meantime.
