So while the country tomorrow votes to move on moving further to the authoritarian right, here's a reminder that the vicar's daughter has been campaigning on this for years;

With that said Diane Abbott is a useless buffoon and Corbyn should have dropped her like a stone months ago.
The only reason she's in the position she is, is that the original shadow cabinet went on a merry go round after the media told everyone that Corbyn was useless and was going to lead to a landslide defeat.
Apparently the more "centrist" genuinely believed that and hence all resigned or tried to stage that coup last year. Dianne was only there, because almost everyone else had written of his chances and jumped.
Imagine if they hadn't staged a coup? Dianne would probably at best be head of a department most people couldn't name.
Anyway in my lifetime this country has never elected a PM not backed by the likes of Murdoch or the Daily Mail. It goes back to the start of the Thatcher years. You're going to see some absolutely shocking/disgusting stories in the next few days, make sure the public isn't putting Corbyn in office.

So of course we use the old and new but it is the New that makes us Christians not the old. Also Jewish God, Muslim God, and Christian God is all the same God but clearly the Muslims view him much differently.
They're basically different versions of the same religion whether people like it or not. It's almost important to remember that there's as many different versions of Islam (Sunni/Shia ect.) as is there is Christianity (Protestant/Catholic).

It's police cuts. The police were cut multiple times under this government and Theresa May heroiclly yelled about them crying wolf under an increased terror threat.
All of these attacks recently, all seemed to be known to police. One was reported by his local community 5 fucking times. The others were all on watch lists.
One of the guys from Saturday that was wearing an Arsenal shirt appeared in a Channel 4 documentary last year called the Jihadis next door.
Then of course all debate is being shut about our governments links with the fucking Saudis.
Amber Rudd there fyi writing that note was set to lose her seat in Hastings according to the yougov poll before Friday.

If Corbyn is losing this election based on last night and not wanting a nuclear war, fuck this country.

A very slim glimmer of hope of a second referendum.
Latest poll suggests hung parliament;
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/po … 64271.html
If those numbers were accurate, which they probably aren't... it'd mean both the Conservatives and Labour would need the Liberal Democrats to get into power (Labour would require the SNP as well and the Conservatives the DUP).
So in the unlikely event of a progressive alliance, all the Lib Dems need to do is ask for a second referendum on the deal.
That said, some of the experts suggested that if the polls were wrong and the Tory voters acted like it was 2015, then they'd probably get over 100 seat majority (making this a pointless post).
