I dont think it really matters Richie, we are in for a kicking and we will be dancing to their tune. We have nothing they want or need and most of the of the manufacturing done here that is reliant on the EU will be moving there.

 

Bob

so the only chance we have got and it's a slim one at best is to have one that will stick to his or her guns.

But who would you like to be in charge going into the negotiations

I disagree.

 

Cameron is a coward. He should have either stayed and seen through the decision of the referendum or not held it in the first place.

 

May cocked up, but at least she is sticking around to deal with her own mess, rather than running off with her tail between her legs.

 

Her mandate is weak, but its stronger than anyone else.

 

If people run a race and no one reaches the finish line, surely the one who covered the greatest distance is the winner.

Also agreed. Out of all the Mp's regardless of party I would still prefer May to handle Brexit over anyone else. In fact I personally don't think there is anyone else in Parliament that would even be considered

A very enlightened post [emoji106]

 

 

Timon.

I think we all should of voted for Doreen Tipton from the Yam Yam Party

Honestly I lost ? So I don't have to deal with Brexit but I can criticise how the Tories deal with it and when all the work has been done try again in 4 years time ?

Lovely Jubbly crack open the bubbly

It is the third time in a row they have lost and as we all know practice makes perfect

Seriously though for a moment they had this expert waffling on about famous labour losses with pretty diagrams and charts. It must of taken him weeks to make. Can you imagine if Corbyn had won. The guy would of been one extremely wazzed off little bunny

The scale of Corbyn's failure: Corbyn couldn't win against the WORST conservative campaign and manifesto in memory.

 

That's how bad he was.

.

Now now that's a tad unfair. According to the experts on the telly today, where they had a graph showing past labour leaders losing the general election he apparently done quite well losing

It's not the first time they have divided the Country, not just geographically.

Mind you they have got to be seen to do something for their £120k plus per year

 

The future's bright!

Oh no it's Friday I thinking the shutters came down early

And less seats were won by the Conservatives than they lost, a step back from the majority they had before May was arrogant enough to call a snap election, making a lie of her former promise, and the landslide predicted by her friends in the right wing press. Now she is reduced to courting a group with views that range from the laughable to the abhorrent as the only way of creating a majority that is slimmer than a gnat's cock.

Hi Felix she did drop a right one. Apparently she mentioned something about pensions and that lost her a load of votes. First time my old girl didn't vote

Funny how you got the exact number of Labour seats yet managed to add 32 on to the amount that the Conservatives won.

 

If the Conservatives had got 350 we wouldn't be in the same muddle right now.

 

Face it Richie, Mrs May and her team have made a right mess of things........ when there was no need.

I didn't . I said the amount of total seats that didn't vote labour, but yes Eggs May did drop a b***ock. I can understand why she did it but She has been chosen to take us into Brexit and good luck to her she gonna need it

Remind me how many seats the Tories won.

318

Tory spin.

It's the score. When the ref blew the final whistle the tories had 18% more seats than labour

How many!?

Add up all the other parties with seats

He's looking considerably more electable than any other politician out there. Start of a movement and a viable opposition.

Sorry to contradict matey 261 I think did but something like 350 didn't think so

Blimey, polling is a bit more exciting where you are. What was that about then?

Husky v's Stihl the police had just left sounds like there had been a bit of a tear up earlier today with the lad and girl getting arrested. The lad with the Stanley knife had caught up with them after they had been released and thought it was a good idea to chase them them into the polling booth and try to have a pop at them in the middle of voting.

Just voted now. Me and the Mrs stopped an attempted stabbing in the polling station. Put my X on the ballot paper and home. See voting is so easy I don't understand why more people don't vote

Evening Rich. Did the tent survive the wind yesterday? [emoji106]

 

 

Timon.

We been back a week Ti and yes it survived 3 hours of thunder and lightning. Mrs R wasn't best pleased with the free light show I renting it out to Billy smarts circus on saurday:001_smile:

And we could blame the death of Welsh anthracite on someone else! [emoji41]

 

 

Timon.

Evening Ti

For the miners perhaps,but what she did to scottish industry and the industries in the north of england there are no exscuses.

I lived through it,i saw it,my sister and i lived on crispy pancakes and wore 2nd hand clothes to school for years.

When i left school i had 2 choices- a YTS scheme with a pay of 28 quid a week for working 60 hrs a week as a trainee chef or join the forces...no choice really.

Dont tell me what i lived through mate

We witnessed it first hand

Someone asked if I was around in the 70's and I answered

Lol, just looked through and seen. Old Rolfs out now and back to his river side mention, shame he didn't go back inside!

I know but I think they didn't want him back

"balance the books, balance the books" "strong and stable, strong and stable"

 

Were you alive back then or are you just quoting the lines being fed to you??

Yep I certainly was but thanks for the compliment. I remember the dustmen strike in the 70's when the streets were full of stinking rubbish. British Leyland pre and post union strikes. The beginning of the end of the Cold War and even I remember buying Russian anthrocite that had travelled thousands of miles across Russia and then shipped thousands of miles to our sea ports and then lorried to my local coal merchant in South Wales because it cost nearly half the price of local anthrocite mined less than 25 miles away. Yep they were the good old days

Maggie thatcher destroyed most of the industries in scotland,mining,steel works and ship building and sent the work abroad.I remember the day my father came home unemployed because maggie liked shafting the scots.

We got lumbered with the poll tax a year before anyone else in the Uk...why?

She liked shafting Scotland as we continually voted Labour and stuck by our unions.

Im glad that old c### is dead.

Sorry to contradict but I think Artur Scargill and his meglomaniac union pals may have a little more to do with the decline than the Then Prime Minister who had to try and balance the books
