About as long as it takes to find his comfy slippers and pipe and heads down to the allotment, putting his feet up on a marrow and tweeting "Welp gg"

In all seriousness though, still go and vote and maybe the dream of hung parliament / liberal coalition with LD/Greens/SNP could congeal.

Man, I feel cheated as I voted for Labour (in a constituency that needs an 8% swing for Labour to win) weeks ago by post.

As another "youg'uns" anecdote to keep that last sliver of hope alive, my daughter said her stupidly large facebook set of friends are pretty much all engaged and virtually zero Tories, with anyone stepping out of line getting dogpiled or excommunicated.

While it is wonderful that they obviously have the Correct opinion, theres still the matter of being arsed to go and vote.

Ed was, in fact, the surprise relatively-leftist upset of 2010, in that everyone was expecting the blairite guy to win but the less-blairitey Ed squeaked in thanks to the trade union vote. Whether his lovely leadership was due to him or due to his team of minders trying to make sure nothing interesting ever got said is up in the air, but since he's stopped trying to be A Great Leader According To What The Focus Groups Want he might actually be a human being again?

Its pretty clear looking back that whoever was managing Ed basically gave him a straight jacket that afforded no personality beyond Generic Political Drone Mk.1 . Since he left the hotseat hes shown a lot more personality and Corbyn-bae generated a mass of support by being everyones favourite jam-making, alotment-digging grandad.

Interesting thing. I've just been looking to see if I can find a list of current gay Tory MPs (I can't, anyone help?), but apparently there are between 10 and 12. Would love to know how they feel about jumping into bed with the DUP...

No time required - while PIRA disarmed various splinter groups definitely didn't. They may not be able to get their hands on ANFO by the ton any more but I'm willing to bet there's still a few hundred kilos of Semtex buried in various fields around Armagh that the owners will be willing to share.

ANFO is literally fertilizer with oil poured into it whacked into a giant blender.

"Alternative Ulster"

Nothin' for us in Belfast
The Pound's so old it's a pity
OK, there's the trident in Bangor
Then walk back to the city
We ain't got nothin' but they don't really care
They don't even know you know
Just want our money
And we can take it or leave it
What we need

[Chorus] An Alternative Ulster
Grab it and change it it's yours
Get an Alternative Ulster
Ignore the bores and their laws
Get an Alternative Ulster
Be an anti-security force
Alter your native Ulster
Alter your native land

Take a look where you're livin'
You got the Army on your street
And the RUC dog of repression
Is barking at your feet
Is this the kind of place you wanna live?
Is this where you wanna be?
Is this the only life we're gonna have?
What we need is

[Chorus]

They say they're a part of you
But that's not true you know
They say they've got control of you
And that's a lie you know
They say you will never be
Free free free

Get an
Alternative Ulster
Alternative Ulster
Alternative Ulster

"Suspect Device"

Inflammable material is planted in my head
It's a suspect device that's left 2000 dead
Their solutions are our problems
They put up the wall
On each side time and prime us
And make sure we get gently caress all
They play their games of power
They mark and cut the pack
They deal us to the bottom
But what do they put back?

[Chorus:]
Don't believe them
Don't believe them
Don't be bitten twice
You gotta suss, suss, suss, suss, suss out
Suss suspect device

They take away our freedom
In the name of liberty
Why don't they all just clear off
Why won't they let us be
They make us feel indebted
For saving us from hell
And then they put us through it
It's time the bastards fell

[Chorus]

Don't believe them
Don't believe them
Question everything you're told
Just take a look around you
At the bitterness and spite
Why can't we take over and try to put it right

[Chorus]

We're a suspect device if we do what we're told
But a suspect device can score an own goal
I'm a suspect device the Army can't defuse
You're a suspect device they know they can't refuse
We're gonna blow up in their face

Also highly important follow up question, out of curiosity is there a name I can use for Derry and/or Londonderry that will not piss one side off if I use it or should I just resort to faking a coughing fit so nobody can tell which one I used. This is important.
