Farrelly voted against Brexit so that won't go down well with the voters.

Tory candidate is active on social media too whereas Farrelly isn't. I expect they'll go blue for the first time.
The British press are a disgrace. Britain doesn't have a democracy, it has some kind of pro Tory propagandist state or whatever you can call it.
Over 95% of the British press basically turns into a Tory party propaganda machine at an election because it's in the interests of the proprietors of these so called media outlets.
To call Britain a Banana state is an insult to most Banana states! It's a kin joke!! Please please please, vote for anything except the party the majority of the press wants you to vote for. It's in your interest to do so.

I'm cynical and pessimistic but the British press keep surpassing expectations. Amazing.
Do you think Tories, who belive regulation gets in the way of business, would have made any laws to protect us from the crash?
You think North Sea oil, robotics and the desktop computer had no effect on Thatchers economy?
Are you implying they wouldn't have stopped a global economic crisis? You must be one of them terrorist sympathisers.
Is there any youtube stream or something similar where I can follow the election night if I'm not in the UK?
That page got worse and worse.
It includes a model wearing underwear inspired by Theresa May's shoes

Ordinary folk vote Tory because it makes them feel like they belong to a club that's well above their station .
Sad.
Sad.
Nope! But nor did Labour. The crash was pretty much inevitable. No one gets in the way of the gravy train... Until it runs out of track!

Why is it always used as a stick to beat labour?
No it didn't. If you actually believe in capitalism, you have to let failing businesses, even banks, die when they lose billions of pounds. Since the banks were bailed out, governments aren't in a position to do it again. And have the banks learned their lesson? No they haven't.
Right. No matter who was in charge we would have had a catastrophic crash. Stop blaming Labour
It's clear regulation of the press isn't needed at all.
But you know, 'freedom of speech', 'you can't say anything these days mate...' or whatever the latest right-wing bullshit is.
Won't be long before we end up with those US style political attack adverts on telly.
Do you know why car finance is so cheap right now? Dealers sell cars on credit, they sell these loans on, they are chopped up and packaged up, relying on everyone still making payments and the value of underlying asset not crashing. Sound very familiar
I find the drugs bit more than a tad tasteless but the rest is just a not overly funny attempt at humour.
Plenty of people on my Facebook feed making the rather tired 'Tories vote tomorrow' joke.

This is pretty much exactly my take too. A crap effort at the Onion.
Preach!
Why are they being turned away from Newcastle!?
Are you implying that car loans are about to bring the global financial system to its knees?
Apparently tellers may be using out of date register. Here's a facebook post by the Newcastle-under-Lyme Labour Party

Scrolled through my facebook feed and I've seen nothing deratory towards Tory voters to my surprise. May well change come tomorrow, but all positive vibes..
Just two and bit hours left to numb myself enough to cope with the exit poll. I'm opening the Morgan's.
Context is different though. It's in a (amazingly) non-satirical paper, in the middle of a very serious article about a related topic.
You've worded this in such a weird way that I think you know that it is at best a tenuous point and at worst an outright lie.

The long and the short of it is plenty of voters went to the polls believing that this was on the table and that was an opinion that at best was not discouraged by the Leave campaign and, at times, was promoted by very key figures within that campaign.
If Vote Leave (or Leave.EU) had been honest about this point then Leave would have lost the referendum. Again, I think this is another example of you extrapolating your knowledge of the EU and your views onto an electorate as a whole which obviously can not be of one mind.
No I said that it was up over 7 years( I meant cumulatively). My point was that Tories have a higher deficit than Labour statistically they do because while they cut services they give large tax cuts to the rich. Even their good year(this year is worse than Labours normal year on that graphic.
Feck spirit. They guaranteed that we would get the £350m a week for the NHS and admitted they lied the day of the results. What ever their spirit was goes out the window when they admit that they lied.
Voted, the polling station was pretty quiet but as one person left another would come in which was good.
Went with my party, not the person and voted for Labour (even though they haven't got much chance of regaining control in my constituency).

Yeah, that's just bizarre.
Good to see that I'm not the only one who fecked up the Tory "majority" question.
Screw predictions about the result, let's get to the real business and predict turnout.
I'm going to say 68%.
