    I guessed they would be right up the street of your sort John

    So she spent £130m of our money on an unnecessary election and lost her majority.
    Now in cahoots with the DuP who appear to be hardline homophobic, misogynistic, anti-abortion climate change deniers. A coalition of chaos indeed.

    As such an ardent supporter perhaps you will be celebrating her increase in majority from 11000 to 35000 votes.

    If they do screw it up, it will be down to whoever stuck the grab your house clause into the manifesto.

    Step forward Nick Timothy

    And the Strong and stable strapline was Lyndon Crosby

    Brexit might well still go ahead, but not quite in the same way as before. She asked for a stong mandate to negotiate, she didn’t get it. No one in Northern Ireland wants a hard land border, not even the DUP, and they will have some bargaining power now with the governement. The more soft-brexit Tories, of whom many were re-elected despite UKIP trying to oust them, have already started to come out of the woodwork. It Isn’t going to be straight forward at all. Even Davis has said so today

    Hopefully, they’re just in the way now. 600,000 Tory votes wasted. A real nuisance when you consider a 187 vote marginal loss in one constituency.

    Quite a few former UKIP voters transfered to labour, so of the 4m dimwits who voted for them in 2015, many saw the light

    Of the apparent 600,00 who voted for them this time ( I haven’t checked your figure) they were not wasted votes at all.

    Is this the end for UKIP as an organised national party? Hovering at 2% of the national vote, virtually extinguished at local councillor level, no MP’s. Ironically the only place they have any depth of represention is in the EU parliament.

    I notice Farage Gump is threatening to come back as leader. Has he ever won in a first past the post election?

    Strange, I didn’t see that in either the Guardian or the Independent, so to which favorite paper exactly do you refer? You surely can’t mean the Torygraph or the Mail.
    Suggesting that all the muslim asian voters will vote labour wouldn’t go down well in my neck of the woods, you are a bit out of date
    But since he is most unlikely to win, all it is is revealing their own affiliations and scaremongering (what, from the Mail or the Torygraph? Surely not!!)

    Edit;
    I’ve just found it! Torygraph!!! ( then repeated in the Fail) actually it doesn’t say exactly what you think it did, all it says is that he wouldn’t have been allowed to join the security services when he was running them, not that it would actully stop him from getting on with the job. That would be undemocratic and he and you should realise that

    Also, Dearlove had an interesting perspective on Islamist terrorism that might not endear him to some on here

    in July 2014 he argued that the government and media had exaggerated the Islamist terrorism threat to the UK, giving extremists publicity counter-productive to UK interests.

    Re:#563

    Two Issues with this:

    Strange it has only just been “revealed” the day before the election in a right wing paper
    It Is from an un-named source and unverified.

    Now, it may be true, but without confirmation from a reliable source…..

    I have just started reading the fourth of Jonathan Sumption’s Hundred Years War series, Cursed Kings

    I can thoroughly recommend all four, provided you have plenty of time, as whilst they are eminently readable, they are doorstops.

    Re#537
    As 52% of the population who could be bothered to vote chose to leave, and it is unlikely that all of those wanted all of the things you mention, I would argue that not even a majority of the electorate want those three things. You do clearly, but that doesn’t mean “the electorate” does

    And no, I am not suggesting it won’t happen, just a bit of reality checking.

    I would think that Brexit is not the most important consideration of the majority of the election at this point in time, however TM and the tories might want to steer it that way

    Strange, I thought you were talking about current policy. So If I read you correctly, Corbyn would be too weak on terror, May was/is too weak on terror. Who else could/should we vote for on Thursday to make Britain safer?

    Just remind us Ryan, on whose watch were the errors you allude to regarding the attackers?

    Talking of blinkered ideologues. I think a session in front of a mirror might be of value

    or if that is’t blunt enough, it takes one to know one
