ABBOT & COSTELLO

Labour MP Diane Abbott was re-elected with a majority of 35,000 odd in Hackney?

A majority of 35,00p?!

How the fuck does that work?

Oh wait .. it's Hackney isn't it? The place I've still strong links to but would have little desire to return to outside of that.

In fact it's a growing list of places I have called home in my life but which the desires to turn to have dwindled to nothing out are dwindling.

Two are now at nothing while one is dwindling.

Oh-oh-oh I do have one place. Maybe two but are too far away for me to get too. One is a lot closer than the other but .. doesn't have much there and has old but bad memories anyway. That would be Hertford, where I got into something that would affect the rest of my life right up until this day.

It was a long time ago so it doesn't have a major effect but there is not much there. It's a nice place, don't get me wrong. Just not a great deal to see .. though it has far more going for it than most places I can reach by bus or train.

I digress.

So yeah, Hackney. Diane Abbott? Madness!

If it weren't so serious I'd think it was an episode of Abbott & Costello?!

After all that crap about mathematics and the Police plus me never having liked her as she had about the same amount of sincerity when she speaks as a blancmange.

This shows the factions of society vote for what's best for them personally.

Another thing I want to say about all this is Jeremy Corbyn? Umm I am pretty sure you lost mate but no one would guess this by the way your are talking. Maybe you missed the maths class regarding simple addition but .. the one with the biggest number is the one that wins.

Then he starts assuming things and starts talking about forming a minority government? Really mate?

Or, as I suddenly thought while listening to him prattle one embarrassingly, is this some weak attempt to remain on as leader of the Labour Party? I mean I thought I heard some reporter state that this is a worst number of votes than the last election? Or was it the one before that or even both the last two?

There is a difference in the words 'gain' and 'win'.

The funny thing in all this is that the Scottish have screwed over Labour for the second or perhaps even third time in a row now? The Tories won in a number of areas of Scotland? Yeah .. I kind of predicted this but still could not believe this is how it was going to go.

I have not looked at the numbers but I am interested to find out if it would have helped Labour win if those areas had gone to Labour and not the Conservatives?

Also funny is that many Scots voted Conservative because they did not see Jeremy Corbyn as a viable threat. If so .. that view has changed and I guess many may well be kicking themselves when it was the Scottish National Party they really wanted to kick?

If so then I think that if the Conservatives co-operating with the DUP, I mean .. really, does not work out and it weent to a second general election .. Jeremy Corbyn might actually win? Because many did not see him as a viable threat but he did better than everyone expected, including me.

That leaves me with what I found to be the most interesting result for a party and that party being the Scottish National Party. They lost. They lost a lot! I was also amazed to hear Nicola Sturgeon actually admit that their constant talk of another independence referendum was a factor!

Has the Scottish National Party now realised that independence is NOT what the majority of Scotland want? It was ridiculous to think that dividing Scotland any more than you had wasn't ridiculous and really unfair just because you wanted what you did. If people say no then keep on going until they all say yes?

I think the Scottish people themselves saw this and they, the moral ones at any rate, realised that this was only going to divide the country even further and they did not want that.

So well done to the Scots for getting their message across but .. the Conservatives? Really?! Lol.

I do not see the Conservatives and the DUP alliance working out. Especially since I have seen what it is that they stand for. There is at least one thing that will not be achievable or agreed upon. No same sex marriages for a start! Lol.

Sure it may go on for awhile but when they are not getting what they want out of it it will dissolve, I think. It is an unlikely alliance though I was surprised to learn that they were against the EU. I thought most of Ireland on both sides were all for the EU? Apparently not.

THERESA MAY STATEMENT : YOINKS!!

Well how about that?

It went from a sure fire win for Theresa May to a little scepticism and then a definite sign of the element of doubt.

Boom!

She kinda still won but in actual fact, lost.

As strange as it may seem and I can't believe I'm about to say this but .. this might be the absolute best outcome possible for this country.

Don't get me wrong here .. I have major problems with both sides, with Theresa May on some things and Jeremy Corbyn on others. I'm pretty sensible, level headed and can see through the crap.

But what I got from this outcome is that maybe, just maybe many other people do to and enough to make a difference? I also think that this was the best bloody way to get this message across to both of the two main parties and they could take this on board? Fingers crossed.

Remember what I always said? No one in politics seems to learn from history, as do no one else with power. The next one on line thinks they are the only intelligent human being on the planet and are infallible to the point of won't go wrong at any point.

Theresa May has proved my point and I am thankful for that, as did David Cameron before her.

Will she resign? I don't know for sure but I seriously doubt it, judging from the way in which she became Prime Minister in the first place.

At the same time the reports were coming in another BBC report stated that in Newcastle a man was holding people up at a Job Centre?!

That was something else I've expected to hear and what remains to be seen is, is this a probe example of backfiring that can happen by treating the jobless and disabled the way the Tories and Tony Blair's government has? If this is then remember people with disabilities will mostly not be physically capable of doing this.

Or is this yet another example of terrorism and the Muslim issue?

Yeah the messages are now starting to surface and I'm sure over the next year or three they will come think and fast.

We are all animals deep down, Doctors included despite their bullshit, and you apply enough pressure and the top eventually blows off.

The difficulties you face with the first of these scenarios is .. once one blows the others normally all quickly follow suit.

It is highly likely that the Conservative's did not win purely because of their treatment of the disabled, jobless, welfare state and NHS?

It is highly likely that Labour did not win because many thought he would be too soft and a walk over on immigration, Europe, did not get the people's message over Brexit and think he knew better than everyone else? It is possible some naive idiots did not vote for him because "Nuuuuclearrrrr weapons make me feeeel saaaaaaaafe!!" now imagine that in a girly voice.

Nuclear weapons are a deterrent and one that is not actually on display. A deterrent that has been there for years ... that you never see and likely will ... never be used. Are we there yet?

OK .. OK .. I will put in another way ... how do you fucking know there are even any nuclear weapons and that is where those billions are actually going?!

Nuclear weapons are used against cities and populations and not other nuclear weapons. The only way they can be used against other nuclear weapons would be for them to be firs first, at the other nuclear weapons and to get there before said nuclear weapons are launched.

So you will kill a load of Russian people that did not want war anyway and have a leader that may well have corrupted the vote to get and stay in? You might bomb a load of starving North Korean people? You might .. oh? No just those two then.

YAH THINK CLEGG

My God! Did I do not double-take at this headline and was still scratching my head.

I am not sure what he was requesting when it comes to specifics. How do you ask voters to vote so one does not get a clear majority, oh wait Clegg thinks Tories will get in lol, so that they go to him cap in hand?! Oh sorry the Conservatives go to him.

Also I have not really seen evidence of the Conservative government being held back?!

Maybe I am missing something but I find this an odd thing to say. Please vote for a hung parliament?! Lol.

We must stay in government - Clegg http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-24137394
