Hopefully the tide is turning. I don't believe it tho.
What a fuckin' mystic.

I'm done with the forum myself. Half of those left are such nasty human beings.
#793 Re: The Sunset Strip » Netflix's "House Of Cards" » 490 weeks ago
Just finished the most recent season.
It was a chore to get through endless episodes of filler only for things to heat up in the last few episodes to go in a completely anti-climatic direction.
I complain about shows that I watch frequently then still watch them... through to the end of habit, I will not be watching next season. Such a ridiculous direction for the show to go in, it's as if they didn't hear the complains about previous seasons.
It's like this is a vanity project for the actors to get paid for.

You have to admit, it's kind of hilarious if the DUP are going to be making demands about Drumcree and Farage given the lead in Brexit negotiations.
It's really exposing this part of the country for the loonies that we have and that people vote for.
This is all just, because Cameron thought he could win some UKIP votes by having an EU referendum last year and not consider the consequences.

She was never a remainier, she only changed her stance during the EU Referendum campaign. Where she stayed out of the spotlight and was careful to say every little in defense of the EU while Boris and Cameron where using it to fight for leadership of the party.
Her saying as little as possible helped her get the job, don't forget apart from Philip Hammond the chancellor she's surrounded herself completely with people who wanted out.
Never forget how right wing the vicars daughter is;

This is really surreal, not sure if it's good or bad.
Potentially good, because it's almost doomed to failure meaning another election and maybe even another referendum. Which I think would go the other way.
Probably bad, because May's trying to stay on even though her own party is kicking and screaming at her to go. She's still going to try and police the Internet/scrap human rights (which the DUP would support). DUP are also so pro-brexit. I live in one of the safest DUP seats of the country, but I don't know many who actually support this outside of the drunk ramble rousers stumbling out of bars. They only vote DUP to "keep the *insert expletive about Catholics* and the IRA out". I don't know people who actually care about their policies (although I'm a bit of a loner tbh)
The whole thing is a cluster fuck.

Don't know much about the DUP, I've been told by a couple of Northern Irish friends they're not a nice bunch?
Basically UKIP with paramilitary ties (UDA), nasty views and less charisma.
It's not dramatically different if Labour had entered power with Sinn Finn (IRA links and all) with the main difference being that UDA are protestants and IRA Catholics.
National news doesn't really cover NI that much, that's why you don't know.
It's pretty surreal.

Still fuckin despicable how many people voted conservative ffs.
Imagine someone who campaigned "against a coalition of chaos" and the accusations that Corbyn was some kind of Jiadi terrorist with links to the IRA then forming a government with the DUP.

Fucking yes!
Fuck your mandate you witch!

Only 2 polling companies still predicting hung parliament (both are fairly dubious). Everything else is suggesting a big Tory win.
Really a sickening feeling. I'd actually vote for Labour here if there was a candidate, there isn't. However there is a fucking UKIP, Tory candidate... It's infinitely much worse than Brexit.
People are voting to scrap human rights, a state controlled Internet, cutting A&E departments/public services and more austerity today on the whims of a right wing media. Rupert Murdoch's going to gain full control over Sky News in a few weeks.
Hooray for democracy and FPTP. At least the voters could have made it close and wrecked her huge mandate argument!
I can see it now in 2022 as well if the EU decide to tell her to fuck off. She'll campaign on how the evil EU tried to force the treaty of versailies on the UK. The right wingers will lob it up.
A decade and we can finally be a Daily Mail driven hate nation from a Black Mirror episode.
