Exactly. Because she decided to have the formal notification under Article 50 before her snap election, we now have the prospective of a government with no reliable majority struggling to get its business through while the Brexit clock is already ticking. I'd say she got it all arse about face, probably because she can't tell either from her elbow. My blog | My photos | My video clips"too literate to be spam"

You mean that face that has egg all over it?
Pride goeth before destruction, and a proud spirit before a fall.

I hear there's a good chance you'll be voting again in October.

Is it normal that there are candidates in weird costumes? There was a fish finger, can't figure out who the strange bloke next to Corbyn was... If you put down your deposit and have the required number of nominations to get yourself on the ballot paper, you can wear more or less what you like for the declaration. The men in 70s-style top hats were from the Monster Raving Loony Party, who are fixtures at high-profile elections, and whose candidate got about 100 votes, as against Corbyn's 40,000-odd.

In my district, we have a candidate from the Pirate Party, which sounds like a joke but which is an actual party that exists throughout northern Europe. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pirate_Party

Thank goodness for alcohol. For some reason I was convinced that Labour would win...after all who would vote for the Toxic Tories ? (apologies to die hard Conservative voters) So I nipped out of the hotel quite late and invested is a bottle of champagne.
*sigh*
It still came in handy tho. >sob<

The fact that she is only hanging on by a hair is reason to rejoice. And thanks for sharing!

Got 2 (very) good UK friends who both have an autistic child. They are not happy with tories being in power, say the healthcare will suffer. I didn't dwell into details, but they did and their basic comment is : better be in good shape if tories are in power.

I'm so shocked by the desperate alliance with the DUP...creationist climate change denier nutcases.

We have a dire set of politicians
The Tories are the party of the fat cats
Labour are basically Marxists who believe money grows on trees
All the others are nothing but wind and piss

In France, people don't piss into the wind but into a violin for some reason. Very strange and transgressive image.

The DUP also has disturbing ties to Protestant paramilitary groups.

I know that the news media make a point of choosing images to fit their own editorial policy, but I frankly have not seen any photos of the Prime Minister smiling in the last couple of days.

Well, that was Sunday and it does look as though her shoes hurt her. Here is a picture from Monday. See how plotting and obfuscating have put roses back in her cheeks and a sparkle in her weasel eyes? As a fun exercise, try reading the article that accompanies that picture without raising your voice, raising it again to repeat certain sentences, or sputtering in outrage: www.theguardian.com/politics/2017/jun/12/theresa-may-apologies-backbenchers-election-mess

The Guardian is hardly neutral in this matter though (any more than the Telegraph from the opposite point).

Well, Ms. May is spending the day and evening in Paris. That should put a smile on her face.
