It's been ten loving years of Tory's in government gently caress

However it was that Johnson managed to position himself as if he was the opposition outsider in this election, it was masterful.

Yep. I'm more motivated than ever to gently caress poo poo up over here. Sorry, UK. Hang in there. This just means that we keep fighting until we're dead. None of us chose or wanted this poo poo, but it's what we have so gently caress it, I'm all in.

Also, watching BBC World and what is BRX? Did they rename UKIP or something?

Can we not. I live in NI and I’m from a non-loyalist/unionist background. My partner and I have very obviously Irish surnames.

I think if labour made a strong, left case for brexit they probably would have done a lot better in the polling. It’s a fallacy to suggest that brexit is rightist and the EU is a leftist project. brexit is popular with the UK public, labour should have capitalized on wedge issues like forced privatization of rail, post, and airports.

Brexit isn't popular, at the absolute best about half of the population is pro Brexit and half against. Labour was inherently structurally weak to the brexit issue because of how its seats and voter base were set up.

Aren't the libdems losing everything right now and were full-on remainers?

If you have actually been paying attention to NI politics the loyalists loving despise BoJo with a burning passion that packed out halls with screams of BETRAYAL and promises of widespread civil disobedience - the Tories have leaped up the Unionist poo poo list to levels not seen since the Anglo Irish agreement days and are probably current higher than Fenians and the pope

This is why Labour has lost the northern heartlands.

Labour has taken them for granted since the 70's and the recent crop of southern party apparatchiks have given them no reason to think that they will bring back jobs to the north.

If Labour wants to win they are going to have to stop taking the north for granted.

from tomorrow we take all the energy that went into this election and we throw it into parallel structures, so that at least some of the marginalised might survive what's coming. homeless outreach, foodbanks, anti-racism, supporting anyone who gets thrown off benefits and has nothing else to live on. wildcat strikes any time the tory fuckers give us the slightest excuse. if we have to build a better society ourselves, with our own hands and sweat and blood, let's loving do it and show that out here at least someone still cares.

It's as though they believe the Brexit movement isn't inherently racist. Seems as long as you are a wealthy pro-business Jew then it's fine to support racism against the browns and anyone from Eastern Europe? But don't criticize Israel or you will end up smeared by the media.

The difference is that turning away foreigners from impoverished nations who don’t have much money and accepting foreigners from wealthy countries who can afford to integrate themselves isn’t racist. It’s a lot of things, and a number of negative terms exist, but racist isn’t one of them.

Brexit is more about class more than race. Trump is more blatantly racist; he’d rather have a lower class Norwegian than the wealthiest Indian and we don’t have to ask why.
