1950Par Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I like Corbyn he will make a great PM... unfortunately many don't as they have been sucked in by the Tory media regarding his connection to the IRA, Palestine, et al also described as Marxist ... He has put himself at the front line on his election travels and faced everyone with dignity.... Where has Boris been ? turning up at Donors factory's and businesses dressing up for the occasion surrounded by only a handful of Tory faithful ...The man is a compulsive liar does not even understand his own policy's He repeats the same Mantra over and over because Dominic told him to..... He is a coward a Liar a Misanthrope and a Buffoon .... Any one seen Jacob Lately ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive been the minority of one - seems once you are wrong, wrong you are wrong and the villian. I suspect I might need to grow an extra layer of tougher skin. Funny thing is, in the shortish conversations/debates Ive had today, I dont think I disagree hugely on too many issues, if I wasnt being shouted down, or if I was able to elaborate.

Superally Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Sadly was unable to vote as I had to go to Stornoway and was unable to get a proxy vote in the time available. However i would have voted for Scotland and hope we are in a position where we can't be ignored or taken for granted tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always assumed you had Rhino skin given how you are never afraid to plough your own furrow in here. No excuse for flinging one liners at you of course. Apologies for that - it is a habit I am trying to break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put your views on a public forum you should expect them to be questioned from time to time. Appreciate it all the same. Exit polls suggest 55 SNP seats. I expected 45 to 50. Tories it seems will have made significant gains winning in region of 365 seats and Labour lost out badly. Exit polls could be wrong of course.

SanguinePar Posted December 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 I can't remember the last time I felt so utterly hopeless about the future of our country. We are well and truly f**ked if this exit poll is right. Goodbye NHS. Goodbye BBC. Goodbye workers' rights. Goodbye climate science. Goodbye support for the needy. Goodbye Europe. Goodbye peace in Northern Ireland. Goodbye rights for minoroties. Goodbye hope for a decent society. Goodbye and goodnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted December 12, 2019 Report Share Posted December 12, 2019 Apparently there are a predicted 63 marginal seats. That means 10(?) in Scotland? Edit to say BBC reporting Sturgeon warning caution over exit polls because many of the Scottish seats are marginal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piracy Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 There you have it. Utterly depressing situation. Time now to unshackle this country from this fractured Union. Returning these kuntz to Government is a crime against morality. I still cannot fathom why anyone would vote for them and I don't consider myself stupid.

Hope returns. I’m already sure of the next course of action which has already nullified some of the customary disappointment felt on days like these. Now’s not the time to try and persuade you, but just to say whatever you decide is the way forward, the despondency will fade. The Pars however will continue to be ongoing source of joy/disappointment. Some things never change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinnie Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Im not sure what I make of this. Albeit that it was expected and we had time to prepare ourselves. Id say my political views are ever so slightly to the right of centre, but Im not a fan of Johnson. Im conflicted today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GG Riva Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Every (democratic) nation gets the political leaders it deserves, apparently, although it could be argued that the UK is not really one nation. I don't think many voters, even staunch Labour supporters, we're too enamoured or convinced by Corbyn, whereas as Johnson painted himself as this jolly, affable, avuncular persona. He managed to get his 3 word message across to the electorate by repeating it over and over again. ☹ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I hear one more time how the electorate don't get it wrong or how astute the British electorate is, I think I will scream, because it clearly doesn't. A mixture of abject selfishness and turkeys voting for Christmas. Corbyn is defintiely to blame. Despite what I said earlier in this thread, his complete unwillingness to compromise on certain things has been his undoing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
