Also, you should all watch Election Spy (VERY SHORT, HYSTERICALLY FUNNY!)

Also, from the BBC: General election 2017: 'Why I switched from Tories to Labour'

And from NME: Protest against Theresa May’s ‘coalition of chaos’ takes place in London

I think Darcy described the whole situation best:

We were in a car going in the wrong direction. Now someone has thrown a spanner in the works and the car is broken. But at least it's stopped.

“enjoyed a strong relationship over many years”

That's basically a polite way of saying ''some of our own MPs murdered civillians alongside the DUP during the Troubles, it was a lovely bonding experience''

I am very glad I was not drinking anything when I read that.

Also, at the protest, one of the protestors held a sign that said: “So, terrorist sympathisers are ok now???”

What even is this country right now??

[owlboy]

Seriously though. There are some fucking monsters in that party. Why wouldn't they shack up with terrorist sympathizers.

>>What even is this country right now??

The only answer I have is ''post Thatcher''.

... The hell???

The only answer I have is ''post Thatcher''.
Also post-Blair, I guess. With a dash of Brexit. Feels like somewhere the Doctor decided to get involved & hit a big red button.

[owlboy]

>>... The hell???

Yep. And he's not even the worst one.

Thatcher/the Tories made Brexit inevitable with the economic/civic chaos they inflicted way back in the 80s/90s. The working class never really recovered from it, they were left to rot

lmfao

The likeness is uncanny. Could it be...?

[owlboy]

Did you see him being all smug and throwing out double entendres on the news this morning

[elisi]

I only saw a glimpse!

Although I am v happy if he's being sassy. Our Labour MP is one of the smug, unsupportive ones, who literally had as her pitch 'Vote for *me*, not for Corbyn, he'll never be Prime Minister!'

She told Darcy this. To his face, when she came to canvass. Darcy was NOT impressed.

It's quite hilarious, because the whole family is pretty much Labour, and none of us like her. She's very much a career-politician. She's had letters from Miss M, from Darcy & from Darcy's father. All written off their own back, not co-ordinated. >:)

that's hilarious

[elisi]

Thank you. :D

And yeah, we are the family that won't stop pestering her. Oh AND she's Catholic and goes to our local church occasionally. Everyone has been very careful never to introduce themselves, so she doesn't know who we are.

Happy to have tossed my own spanner. Majority here SNP over Tory was 21, not 521 as I first thought.

My vote actually mattered more than I thought it did.

Only time I can say I'm happy I didn't vote Lib Dem. I think.

kerk

[elisi]

21??!!!

That's incredible. Well done you.

[sea_thoughts]

Theresa May: "I can still drive!" *grinding of gears* "I just need the DUP to take a look at the engine."

[elisi]

I thought they'd be the ones pushing... Although they'd probably argue about the direction. ;)

So true!

[elisi]

Yes, I thought it very accurate. :)

[poniesandphotos.livejournal.com]

I sure hope you don't get exterminated.

[elisi]

The Doctor will save us.
