Theresa May Announcement Today!

What surprises does she have for us today?

Some of the speculation is both worrying, funny and serious!

But let's see..Ten minutes to go!

 

Britain is to have a General Election! 8th June!

What's she trying to prove?

Can she not cope with the brexit exit? Scotland?

Conservatives out! This is your chance people!

 

She'll end up with a majority of 100+ now...........

 

She's probably thinking she can increase her majority given that Labour are in disarray and low in the polls.

I hope it all goes wrong for her, but I suspect we'll just get yet another 5 years of the tories. The only issue I can see upsetting her apple cart is the NHS. But the right wing press will be doing everything possible to trash the opposition.
Maybe Labour should be saying that they'll abandon this Brexit nonsense before it's too late, make this into a second referendum - I doubt they will do that. Very likely many Labour MPs will be loosing their nice cushy little jobs.

It's all too predictable.

 

This is great news, but perhaps not good news for Scottish indyref aspirations?

The SNP will take all the seats again leaving Labour short of seats and all the UKIP voters will migrate back to the tories.

So maybe not great news.

 

I don't think this is about Brexit, it's about the tory's election fraud scandal that isn't going to go away, unless...

 

This is Why
+ she wants to unite the country and also Shut up those whiners that say " I never voted for her "
and guess what ? I never voted for her but I will this time

 

So much for the fixed parliament term act of 2010 lol. So that lasted for how many terms?

 

Mally, it's up to you, but don't forget, you got 5 years of Tory crap to go with it! All the shite you and other labour supporters like myself complained about....No going back!

I remember how Maggie looked promising, and i supported her..Boy did i regret it!

Tories lie! Let's not forget about that, they are not interested in the working class..Fight it moot!

 

Unite Britain? With what? She gonna take down the north south divide?

She gonna make Liverpool as strong as London?

She gonna make our grandchildren as well off as us?

Conservatives out!

 

The king in the north!

 

May will win in June


She will be the 2nd best PM you guys have ever had, after Thatcher

 

Says the guy who's favourite band is Coldplay.

 

Now if May saw fit to ban all coldplay and Pink floyd cds/dowloads, i might even rank her ahead of Thatcher

 

Right-wing coups, now with added legitimacy!

 

What about the centrist press? The centre never gets any ink in the UK. Labour will be destroyed in this election. What would be even better would be physical expressions of public rage against the rail and allied workers. Just because the best and the brightest Brits have emigrated in countless millions since 1945 doesn't mean that the residue should be enslaved by unionised yobs

 

You didn't make money when BT was privatised???

 

So they get enslaved by right wing yobs. Ever notice how scum always floats to the top?

 

This isn't necessarily bad news for indyref supporters. If the SNP win big again, and that seems likely, that could strengthen Sturgeon's case for a vote, especially as if May wins it'll probably mean some form of ignominious hard Brexit.

But in the bigger picture, the whole Brexit thing may become somewhat limp if the French elect the far right, as that will mean the end of the EU as it has been anyway. It would probably become a German led and German dominated northern European alliance that would in turn dominate Europe.

The tories can then turn this into a tax haven for the ultra-rich and something resembling 19th century social conditions for the rest.

 

I think you are right. I also think we've reached a stage where corruption is so endemic that it doesn't matter what anyone votes for. The tories are the bastard childs of centuries of patriarchy and oppression, and they will get back in no matter what. They've never been out. New Labour circa 97-10 were red tory Blairite scum. They planned it all while John Major was in power, and it worked spectacularly.

I might consider lending my vote to the SNP this time just to ensure that at least Scotland has a chance of getting out of it. I'm a long way short of being 100% happy with the SNP but they are more for the working the class people than Labour are right now, even under Corbyn.
