Anyone else cancel their TV licence off the back of this election campaign? The BBC and Tory chums can shove their £140 a year where the sun don't shine.

cant see them towing the party line, it would only take a couple anyway to block may from passing stuff, even if Dup was fully behind her which they aren't. It was a disaster for May more than it was for the tories as a whole. Al they need to do is oust her which is easy, change their more extreme policies to moderate and they would gain a sizaeable majority.

or so we thought, i can remember a lot saying Corbyn was the best MP the torries could have hoped for, but he pulled off a blinder I'll give him that even though I don't agree with his methods.

Yep, years ago. I don't want to pay for a bunch of shills.
? BBC coverage last night mostly seemed to have the knives out for May.

This is Britain, it will never happen. Politician telling lies prosecuted. Ha.
I'm not sure why the media are so surprised about Labour doing better this time around, the Tories were always going to lose remain voters and the only reason Labour did so badly in 2015 is because Ed Milliband was completely unelectable.
Also media claiming she didn't get a mandate for Brexit, complete rubbish they won the most seats.

I think a Conservative / UKIP coalition would have been a better outcome than the DUP.
LOL he's basically taken the same Corbyn stance of general condemnation while refusing to condemn them directly... but claiming he condemns both sides.
no respect for either him or Corbyn - terrorist supporting scum
No way I can cancel my licence fee until 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue' is finally retired.
Con / Lib would be the best possible outcome - the country needs a good progressive/conservative balance.
The electorate increasingly looks more and more stupid to me for voting to punish the Lib Dems - we could have avoided all this May BS.

Calm down m8
On the bright side still enjoying Alex Salmond's slimy **** being kicked out and Nicola Sturgeon crying as she sees IndyRef2 sail into the sunset for the foreseeable future, particularly with this result almost certainly meaning a much softer brexit.
Once we get past the partisan jeering form all side this could be the making of a sensible middle ground for the next few years, particularly if the conservative government acknowledge they went wrong and are open to working with labour of Brexit and Labour are open to not trying to veto everything just because it's come from a Tory government

As she made the election all about her, rather than the party, I think they will knife at her any time.

Their poles apart though (no pun intended).
Indeed - though unfortunately the Lib Dems are still feeling rather burned after the last time. Really rather frustrating that it isn't an option this time - this alliance with the DUP instead isn't good news at all.

I've been seeing the same rumblings coming from a few SF activists I'm well acquainted with today. I think though to take their seats they would need some constitutional changes via at least EGM etc. to overturn the policy of Abstentionism to recognise the legitimacy of the UK Houses of Parliament.

Anything to hold on to power huh 
May should be ashamed of what she's done, calling a snap election when she said she wouldn't because she could smell blood from the labour party, divided the UK even more then it was already and made herself look weak to Europe and the rest of the country. This is who is expected to negotiate and represent us. Hilarious.
It's okay though guys, in a years time we won't be allowed to make posts like this slating her, we'll all be closely monitored to make sure we're all being good and not slandering the PM.
