Never quite get these ones either, you think old people are laughable, poor, old people, or just people that work in recycling scrap?

Would be funny if actually true.

Urgh, straight off those Brexit Facebook groups which basically call for the killing of Diane Abbott.

Should we really pay much attention to the opinion of someone who gets it so wrong?

Seems to me there's a hard core of 3-4 million ukip voters whose only real concern is reducing immigration (let's be honest) who will switch to whatever party will deliver Brexit. First they went ukip to Brexit party, now they've gone Brexit party to Tory.

Odd comment, for me it was past voting record and political activity, the manifesto of hope and a better future for our young people. As before, the under 50s with above average education didn't vote Tory.

Still waiting to hear these mainstream policies you would've recommended that would've beaten Johnson.

I'm happy with the policies. Now Brexit is on the Tories, the new leader will be free of antisemitism/terrorism lies and the media will have resort to smearing their Jewish immigrant parents or some other nonsense.

See my post #2078

I've said all along that JC deserves another go after 2017 but if he lost this one he should step down. I don't think that's too controversial.

Can I just say, whoever created the SWF exit poll, you got the colours wrong, thanks.

Divide and conquer.

They're only 1 in 200 or so of the UK population so don't be too worried. I don't have any Muslim friends if that's any consolation.

Although it's quite funny that certain people (IDS especially) might lose their seats, unfortunately they will get dished out peerages, directorships or are already minted so they don't really care.

Funny cos my Jewish friends are socialists and voted Labour. First Past the Post sucks.

Called it.

And no deal was a deal breaker for Labour too so good result for them too

Agree with that.

Stand by this.

Any word on Uxbridge? Would be some slight consolation.

Oh well, back to someone the Establishment, Murdoch and the racists deem acceptable. Of the current lot, I think Keir Starmer comes across as most mainstream and also he has a face middle England would like.

:(

It's been pretty clear that Johnson would get a majority. And I've been clear for my reasons why I agree with that. Edit - and you can't accuse me of living in an echo chamber! I've been fighting my corner on here and listening to the media bombardment.

Interesting.
