Spot on

See previous couple of posts.

I could easily say the same about Tory or Brexit voting people in certain areas. Just because people vote labour doesn't mean they would always do it, just means that they dont have the same views as the "I'm alright Jack, pull the ladder up on everyone else, nationalistic, fake news, in it for themselves, couldn't give a monkey's about others (and I could go on) voting Tory's for example .

I've had my debates internally about who to vote for, what I will say is that this thread over the last week or so has certainly convinced me of what type of person i dont want to become and who i definitely Will Not be voting for.

Same here.
Mainly, I don't want to be the type of person who 'picks a side' and then becomes a mouthpiece for spewing out their crappy lines.

It's bad enough hearing the same lines from politicians, I don't want people on my social media feed spamming me with them. If someone wants to post their own individual political views thats fine I just don't want to hear the same predictable crap and the same predictable takes on whatever media event happens (classic example being the picture of the boy on the hospital floor). Think about things yourself rather than just being told what view to take and repeating it.

I like to think I have a social conscience hence I do not like anything about the current government who appear to preach look after number one and if you fall through the gaps tough. If you have money you can fast track your visa to enter the UK, if not good luck because we are shut.
The problem is that what we do to the citizens of the EU they will do to us.

No offence but I don't need lessons on social media. As it happens I only really bother with facebook; lost all interest in the absolute cockwomble-fest that is ter a long time ago. Most of the groups I'm referring to are closed groups, and I always take a quick look at profiles posting such comments - I genuinely haven't seen any bearing the usual hallmarks of a questionable profile.

Exit poll prediction:

Conservative: 368 (+50)
Labour: 191 (-71)
SNP: 55 (+20)
Lib Dem: 13 (+1)
PC: 3 (-1)
Green: 1
Brexit: 0
Others: 19 (+1)

Conservatives gain Leigh from Labour. This is this the first time ever in Leigh since 1922.

Labour are fooked, we can all enjoy a Christmas without a terrorist sympathiser anywhere near government.

Sometimes difficult to differentiate between a terrorist sympathiser and a freedom fighter. Thatcher made that mistake with Nelson Mandela.

Chances of a left leaning government in the UK in the next decade are remote following today but one will eventually emerge, just as night follows day.

Left leaning yes - Corbyns Marxist hybrid no. And that was the real problem for Labour.

Well it looks as though they even forgot to stick it on the turd

Shocking night all round for Labour - the only positive is that Corbyn will go, but it will take them many years to recover from this

Looking at some of the red to blue seats, it seems the fabled 'Workington Man' really does exist. Let's hope they get what they think they're going to get, because the backlash will be quite a thing to witness if he becomes Out-of-Work-ington Man. Who knows where the blame will be directed in that scenario!

A terrible night for Labour, just like the horrendous campaign by Michael Foot in the late 70's.
Corbyn needs to go and Labour have to re engage with the centre left of the electorate.

% years to make a new plan as I think that Boris will be looking to stick to the fixed term for this parliamentary session.

Will Scotland and N. Ireland still be part of the Union when the next GE comes around
