ronwagn + 6,290 December 12, 2019 https://www.bbc.com/news/election-2019-50765773 Britain's Boris Johnson will stay in power to assure a slow Brexit for the majority who voted for it years ago. The swindlers lose after several years. Theresa May will live in infamy. RCW  😃 Election results 2019: Tories on course to win majority - exit poll  The Conservatives are set to win an overall majority of 86 in the general election, according to an exit poll for the BBC, ITV and Sky News. The survey taken at UK polling stations suggests the Tories will get 368 MPs - 50 more than at the 2017 election - when all the results have been counted. Labour would get 191, the Lib Dems 13, the Brexit Party none and the SNP 55. The Green Party will still have one MP and Plaid Cymru will lose one seat for a total of three, the survey suggests. Counting is under way in the UK's 650 constituencies, with a few early results due before midnight, and the rest to come in the early hours, although the final total will not be known until Friday lunchtime. 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marina Schwarz + 1,576 December 13, 2019 This is what I would politely call a disgrace for Labour. The pendulum has swung even farther than I thought. Oh, well, I guess we'll be seeing the sort of mass emigration we saw after Trump won in 2016, right? Oh, wait... 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Plant + 2,610 RP December 13, 2019 @DayTrader I bet you’ve got your champagne out along with your Cuban cigars!! soooo glad Jo Swinson is toast and even better lost her own seat! thankfully the majority of voters aren’t stupid and do believe in democracy! 2 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marina Schwarz + 1,576 December 13, 2019 (edited) Stupid is exactly what the majority will be called on Twitter, I bet. Apparently, the minority is incapable of accepting some realities. I'm glad the majority has been consistent, though. Well done.  P.S. The kids on Twitter are blaming Boomers again. Which, to me, means the kids did not vote. Am I missing something, such as logic?

It may just be because I am an American but I think the quality of the BBC talking heads last night leaves a lot to be desired. Little humor, emotion, or witty comments.

Tom Kirkman + 8,860 December 13, 2019 Baaaaaaaaaasaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE  'Not My Prime Minister' - Radical Left Marches Against Democracy In Britain Apparently, the British people have ignored the anguished shrieks from the Extinction Rebellion protesters, Stand Up To Racissm rabble and other myriad constituencies of the British far-left about how "people WILL die!" unless Jeremy Corbyn's vision of society is imposed on Great Britain. Instead, the Tories have carried the biggest majority in decades, every single strategic decision by Johnson and Dominic Cummings (including the ruled-unconstitutional decision to suspend - or "prorogue" - parliament) has been vindicated and Corbyn has already announced his plans to quit, joining predecessor Ed Milliband on the scrap-heap of British political history. Yes, the people have spoken. And the result was a resounding rejection of Corbyn's left-wing populist agenda. Though they wield a loud microphone on social media, the far-left doesn't have the support of a majority of the people - or even a majority of the working class that young 'democratic socialists' claim to represent. Sadly, one of the traits of the modern-day left is that they are terribly sore losers. And instead of wishing Johnson luck and acknowledging and accepting that mistakes were made on their end, the radical left is encouraging everyone angry with the election results to join them in the street for a protest of 'racist' Johnson - and of democratic values themselves. ... 2 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A double ding. Yeah Ron the BBC has slowly become a joke over the years, it's a shame. They probably all looked emotion and humour free because of the result. Their neutrality has gradually become zero and people saw it more and more with Brexit crap. Aside from like Attenborough stuff and the amazing guys behind those kinda shows the BBC has become an embarassment, I haven't watched English TV for years, just Bloomberg all day in background or Netflix. Pay a licence? For this shite? Get real. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom Kirkman + 8,860 December 14, 2019   Dems Vow To Learn From Labour Party's Mistake Of Not Going Far Enough Left  =================================== And an unexpected WTF bonus recently unearthed. The Twitter user is a far leftist, and was poking fun at something that was seemingly impossible and unthinkable back in 2015:  For info, Boris Johnson was not a Trump supporter, but flipped fairly recently. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Johnson In 2015, Johnson criticised then-presidential candidate Donald Trump's false comments that there were no-go zones in London governed by shariah law and inaccessible for non-Muslims. Johnson said that Trump was "betraying a quite stupefying ignorance that makes him, frankly, unfit to hold the office of president of the United States"[304] becoming the first senior politician in the UK to declare Trump unfit for office (but rejecting calls for him to be banned from the country).[305] Johnson also added that he wanted Trump to "to come and see the whole of London and take him round the city but I don't want to expose Londoners to any unnecessary risk of meeting Donald Trump".[304] He later called Trump's comments "ill informed" and "complete and utter nonsense", adding that "the only reason I wouldn't go to some parts of New York is the real risk of meeting Donald Trump".[306] In 2016, he said he was "genuinely worried that he could become president", telling ITV's Tom Bradby of one moment where he was mistaken for Trump in New York as "one of the worst moments" of his life.[307]  2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Kirkman + 8,860 December 14, 2019 Progressives continue their descent inside their own echo chamber. Antifa tends to be part of the Climate Armageddon Panic group, trying to shove their extremist views down the throats of ordinary people in the Western world. Elections have consequences. And this was a blowout election result.  Antifa Leftists Riot in London Following Massive Election Loss Following a major election victory for conservatives in the U.K. the Antifa-left start rioting in the streets again.  Proving once more that socialists do not accept election outcomes. The vitriolic response from the British socialists resembles an almost identical response following the 2016 election victory of President Trump.  Same groups, same political ideology, same behavior, same violence, rage and expressed anger. The inability of the progressive left to accept the outcome of an election is identical in both the U.K and the U.S.  Calling Boris Johnson a racist and attempting to delegitimize the election outcome has a ring of familiarity for Americans. The decades of their united globalist efforts to tear at the very fabric of nationalism is being eliminated. The radical socialists have nothing to lose; the media is sympathetic to their objectives; their desperate need for a collectivist society is visible within their apoplexy.  They are afraid of the individual accountability that comes with freedom, and they’re damn sure displaying it. Do not look away. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank God, the average person sees the unfairness and hypocrisy of the leftists. They are smart enough to see the schemes of the "thought leaders" in the press, the universities, the deep state, etc. I see conservatism rising around the world while socialism is failing. It is a close fight but we must win. Remember when Hilary warned that Trump might not accept the results of the election, and we all see how, in fact, she and the left never have. No, they have tried to destroy him as a candidate and impeach him before he was even sworn in. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
