Awesome, have a great time!

The irony the Tories spent the campaign smearing Corbyn with IRA links and now will be forming a government with a party propped up by paramilitary is brilliant if it wasn't real.

On the positive it only takes a few centered Tory mp's and they'll struggle to pass anything through parliamant, which is a good thing imo. Keeps them in check.

The major error imo is she framed the election about her having the strength to deliver a hard brexit. They seem to have selectively forgotten Brexit was basically 50/50. Basing a GE on delivering an extreme version of something only 50% at absolute best wanted and in reality probably far less, certainly on those terms, was suicide.

Don't know much about the DUP, I've been told by a couple of Northern Irish friends they're not a nice bunch?

Exit poll showing Tories largest party but short of a majority. Lets see what the night holds but if it's correct I think it's a moral victory for Labour and probably the best they could have realistically hoped for.

I think Labour will take some seats back but I still expect a Tory majority.

Unless Scotland realises a vote for SNP is a vote for a Tory goverment Labour will always struggle.

Literally nothing different to what we heard in the CD era. The difference being now the wider world cares again this stuff gets printed in the proper media.

Unless Ax, Slash (if he can still speak) or Duff says it then the pinch of salt I take this with remains generous.

True, I must confess I have been very impressed with Corbyn since the election was called. He's completely won me over. It's a shame we didn't see more of this from him sooner. The reasons for that are open to debate.

It will be interesting to see who comes running back should Corbyn get elected. He will need some to do just that because as it stands his cabinet would be a disaster. Abbott being a prime example, although I don't think she gets the gig of home sec if labour are elected.

I never understand why around election time interviewers expect politicians to develop MENSA level memory skills and recall every article or number they'e ever read. Then when surprisingly they forget a detail it's viewed as an embarrassment and a reason not to vote for them. Would I expect or want them all to walk in to cabinet meetings without notes and hopefully pluck imprortant details and numbers off the top of their heads? No, so why do they have to do it in election interviews? It's lazy interviewing, surely hearing the right number is more important than if they can recall it without notes?

With that said Diane Abbott is a useless baffoon and Corbyn should have dropped her like a stone months ago.

I think we could end up with a hung parliament.

My issue is that his voice is still 'there' he just doesn't choose to use it for GNR shows.

We were saying in 2013/14 that his voice had gone and yet in 2016 for the start of the reunion and AC/DC he sounded the best he has in years. Fast forward 7-8 months I don't believe his voice has suddenly gone he's just choosing not to use it. He's back in his falsetto comfort zone, which is no doubt easier and probably better for his voice, it just doesn't sound as good.

That said the reviews I've read in the media are all gushing towards the show. Assuming that was the general mood of the majority who attended then why change anything and perhaps risk blowing your voice to appease a few hundred on some messageboards?
