My local neighbourhood fox can sleep easy and that makes me feel great.

Let's hope the local livestock feel the same, hey?

I think you're right about austerity and the joke of Tory leadership, but not Brexit. The wheels only came off when campaigning began. Before that, the public were buying the May Brexit stance. Its only when she stepped out of the shadows and became utterly exposed on the campaign trail did things begin to dive south.

You think all of those ex Labour voters who were voting UKIP still don't have concerns about immigration? That concern will still be there.

They had no choice but buy it until she called an election.

Brexit will be a nightmare now. I think a lot of voters voted with out thinking of the future.

Is that the same brexit where the best we were being given was a veiled admittance of likely disaster catchphrased as 'no deal better than a bad deal'

 

[Arthur Hucksake]

Can't believe how many people got suckered in by Labours false promises.

Are people really that naieve?

After seeing the effects of the cuts first hand, no they aren't naive.

They cut too fast, too soon and now they are paying for it. Good.

 

[FoxEye]

Oh well, Truro and Falmouth came in.

Tory 25k, Labour 21k.

22% gain for Labour, but not nearly enough. Cornwall is Tory

Thank the idiots who voted Labour, they'll now know what it's like not to have a strong and stable government. You just handed the EU a blank cheque to screw us over, even remainers are going to suffer because of this result, but then the left love shooting themselves in the foot. They really do hate their own country don't they?

Now you're getting a taste.

 

[Hotwired]

Boris can't seriously be thought of as PM material can he? He's a utter pillock.

You don't need to be Solomon reborn, you just have to be better than the alternative and if you get into power while being a pillock it just goes to show how garbage the competition was.

UKIP -NHS/Immigration/get everything we want.
Cons- internet is cause of terrorism/can have better public services whilst spending less on it.
SNP - Freedom.

Yeah pretty much we all are.

One things for sure.... The media's grip on peoples minds is well and truly on its way out. Well done to the people who didn't listen to the sun or daily mail.... Even if you still voted for May.

No, what happened is people weren't fooled by the Troy May rhetoric any more. Nor are they willing to put up with a party that has created Brexit, massive austerity and this mess in the first place.

Labour have run a positive campaign and we preferable to many than May.

 

[lookitsjonno]

What a massive **** up

 

[Gabbatek]

Lord buckethead made May very uneasy. She's such a rich vicar's daughters, scared of common people

Specifically her hard brexit outcome approach I meant, but you're probably right. To add, Tories in unable to motivate the young vote shocker...

One of the best things this result tells us

I never understand this, I have seen no evidence of 'cuts' I live in a rural town so perhaps we did not suckle from the public treasury as much

Captain May From the bridge of the HMG Downing street "Iceberg right ahead!"

Alternatively maybe conservative policies were so off putting it was a far more sensible choice

Also may looked like me giving a gcse presentation when talking, hasn't a clue

 

[Glaucus]

lets lighten the mood up a bit. some swearing

Spoiler

 

[McBain]

Surely May cannot continue after this, monumental **** up from her the second she called the election, as well as her campaign since.

Tory MPs cannot be happy.

I dunno, I get the impression that most people realise that free movement of people cannot be avoided by being in the single market. That implies a hard brexit doesn't it?
