The pressure is rising...

You might appreciate this:

To Theresa May...Hey girl, are you British Rail? Cos you're getting publicly owned.
The Tories appear to have lost their majority which is good and probably the best we could have hoped for.Hope no party agrees to a coalition.

@Pedromartinez: hoping for a Labour-SNP coalition
Matthew · 22-25, M
So excited!! If the tories fuck this up I will not be able to contain my joy!!!!! Serves that woman right for trying to jump at any opportunity to bolster her and her party's career rather than thinking of the people of the country!!
Corbyn ftw!!
Word I'm getting is that the left is winning. That would be good news to you, right?
@Matthew: I agree with them about the migrant problem. I'm not a racist, but I'm not so 'open minded' that my brains have fallen out. England needs to be a little more Trumpish in my opinion. Unfortunately, you will continue to see what I'm talking about. During the cartoon riots the Muslims told the truth with their protest signs. They are making good on the promises that were written on those signs, and they will continue to make good on those promises. Now it looks like England is voting for as much trouble as they can possibly muster.
@Matthew: I have Puck blocked due to his extreme political views.
Matthew · 22-25, M
@Pedromartinez: personally I believe you should listen to others opinions even (especially) if (like I do with puck) you fundamentally disagree with them (unless of course they start becoming offensive). Because if people don't do this then they just won't see the other side of the argument (and there nearly always is another side) so they will be unable to make an educated opinion on the matter. Just my 2 cents on the issue

If you want a terrorist lover. Someone who will let Brussels walk over this country, in the brexit talks, vote corbyn
Matthew · 22-25, M
@Nyloncapes: fuck off! Such an uneducated answer. Terrorist lover?! Stop being so fucking childish and immature

I'm happy with you lot and angry at us for once.
thatscottishguy · 26-30, M
I could take most of them but Salmond losing his seat has broken me. Also now the Toried are in coalition with Rangers. I have no words for it.

Hung is not what we want.

I'm fine with higher taxes and we won't be paying for shite like trident and HS2. The "grant" we get is actually a fraction of what we send down south. Scotland can't actually borrow and our debt has been assigned to us. If we were to have our own currency that debt would not need to be paid and although we can keep the pound, I would rather not. Are you saying people in Scotland would struggle for good?😂 Imagine that. Nobody needs foodbanks or anything now😂. Tell me how so many countries with less than us can do well?

@thatscottishguy: You don't seem to understand how much the NHS, social services, emergency services, education system and infrastructure cost. Yours cost more to run because there is a greater area to cover with fewer people and they are all spread out.

You would need to pay your share of the national debt, you would owe the IMF and World Bank.

Sorry to dispel the Salmond thinking but if the UK says you can't use the pound then you can't. Scotland doesn't own it.

The countries that have less than you but do well don't have the welfare system you have. I assume you are talking about countries like New Zealand and not Luxembourg. New Zealand where their citizens are poorer per person that the average Scot.

You would also have to sign to trade treaties with the entire world. These might not be as favourable as you hope.
thatscottishguy · 26-30, M
You mean trade with places like the EU? Our NHS is losing funding because of the UK. Our welfare system is losing funding because of the UK. Basically in the UK we are having these problems anyway. There is no doubt there would be a tough transition but to argue Scotland doesnt have the potential is BBC bullshit. Also the head of the bank of England said we could use the pound, other places that aren't part of the UK use it and as I said I don't want us to use it anyway. Now I need to stop letting this shit distract me.

It's so endearing that the Brits like to emulate the States...but [i]don't follow us down this rabbit hole.[/i]

We have temporarily lost our collective mind here and we're going to need some allies to nurse us back to health.
Tories won? I'm American, please explain the consequences...

@kekobaka:
Trump endorses Le Pen: She loses by 32 points.

Trump cozies up to May: She blows a 25-point lead and maybe loses the leadership.
Ahhhhh ok thank you...

Did someone win?
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@golemn9: Nobody won. Everyone won. Nobody knows. Wtf
What happened ??
@bijouxbroussard:
only one result in so far but indications are a hung parliament with the party I detest the largest one.But the Tories have a bloody nose if the exit polls are correct.
