He better stick to this activity here.
 Probably his best skill.
 You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

In summary the conservatives thought they could get a better majority & May's advisors convinced/agreed that she need a strong mandate.
Sadly she has no charisma & when under pressure in a debate situation is not very clever or quick on her feet. Corbyn at least has some charisma and is far better under pressure. For May the terrorist attacks came at just the wrong time, it just highlighted the austerity we have been going though with reduced police numbers etc and the chickens came home to roost. To be honest I think the result accurately reflects where we are the conservatives are the only party to move forward with but the others have popular policies and are beginning to appeal to the wider public. May I think will end up resigning within 3 months as she campainged on wanting a strong mandate & sghe just does not have one & as such her position is not tenable long term. We employee over 100 people, a lot even though they are on good wages 40k+ have voted labour as they feel the conservatives are too business orientated and to be honest I have to agree. For me the conservatives need to ensure corporation tax is no lower than personal taxation, they need to spend on public services they have been squeezed too hard and yes to pay for it I think we should have a top tax rate of 50%. How can you ever justify a 1% pay increase for NHS staff & government staff but pay substantially over that to MP's. I think the best government we had in recent times was when we had a liberal conservative coalition as it meant the conservatives had to have a conscious. Just my thoughts & yes I voted conservative despite what I have said above as no other real choice 2020 P300 HSE |

I am watching a review on the television now with a woman called Emili Thornberry. She act now like she is Queen of England with the results and all rest are her serf. My wife who speak good English say her party lose this election. It is odd attitude to take. I do not uderstand her fully, but I dont like. I think for one time in history France in Macron now have better political leaders than UK.

She has a controversial. past to say the least with various comments she has made. ^^^^
What amuses me most in this country is the lack of respect for one another and lack of respect for democracy. Won't be long before in the supermarket people won't even que at the checkout, it'll be a brawl to see who can get in and out fast enough. Definitely plenty of voting to support being a layabout, especially young. ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️ |

A shocking campaign from all parties and a predictable result, in my opinion.
The Conservatives have run one of the most inept campaigns in the history of politics and largely got what they deserve for raising "inept" to an art form. "Strong and stable" my foot! The Labour party ran a despicable and dishonest campaign based on promises that thay cannot believe they could keep; "we'll give you whatever you want if you vote for us", Labour must know that you you cannot spend 75 billion that you don't have without catastrophic long term consequences, whatever Ms Abbott might say. The Lib Dems were doomed from the start, but we knew that beforehand. All in all British politics continues to be dominated by second-rate politicians who are entirely out of touch with the electorate. The only good thing I have seen sofar from this whole sorry debacle is that the Poison Pixie of Scottish politics, the odious Ms Sturgeon, has received a good kicking and been absent from our screens for the last 12 hours. So every cloud has a silver lining! We are in for some interesting times, I think. |

Yep, the fish people got a good kicking... and by the conservatives too which was a surprise as Scotland had been propping up Labour governments for years until the fish people took over.
The old head fish even lost his seat ! Not a good day for the UK but probably could have been worse. May still has a practical majority but she only has herself to blame. Labour campaigners have been out there spreading all sorts of rubbish without any response from the Tory campaign. I think they simply thought they were so far ahead they didn't need to try. I half wondered when she called the election if she wanted to lose so she didn't have to navigate the Brexit negotiations. With 5 Sinn Fein seats in Northern Ireland lowering the threshold to 323 and then 10 DUP seats on top of the Tory 318 gives them a 5 seat majority. Hopefully she won't stand down and they'll be able to stay united instead of bickering among themselves, we really do need a stable government right now and the last thing we need is a Tory leadership battle ! http://www.yorkshireoffroadclub.net/ |

I do hope somehow stability and leadership can come out of the mess here.
I thought Australia was a political joke, with 4 PM's in the last 4 years! Now the UK is potentially heading the same way. Other countries must think this is not only a joke, but it surely gives a clear signal of a broken country, so strong direction, unity and leadership. This is not what you want to be saying across the Brexit divorce table and to the gutless ISIS madmen. It's a shame, because most educated and sensible UK residents I sure know this. I think 'democracy' and the voting system that produces such chaos needs an overhaul... just like a Series One! YOLO... You Only Live Once... |

Without to sound too stupid, because the Conservatives do not win majority do you now must do a 2nd vote (like French) in 2 weeks to choose your Prime Minister or does your Queen choose?
