Trying to take what good news I can from last night.
The BNP vote was down 99.7% from 2010.

You, me, the people who I look after at work, my daughter, my best friend, fucking everyone whose been stamped on by life one way or another. Itās fucking awful, man. Iāve said it before, but I really think that Murdochās death is when weāll have a chance to fix shit. Iām going to party the way I did when Maggie karked it Come The Great Day.
Oh jeesus god, I need to go to sleep now.
Iām not happy about the election results and I generally like the Guardian, but Iām still getting some serious schadenfreude from reading some of the articles:
I donāt care about Godwinās Law anymore
This is kinda how I felt after the devolution referendum and look what happened up here. I admit, though, we didnāt have to wait very long for the backlash (if there even was one, I still suspect that the 15% who didnāt turn out were all of those radicalised by the BBC and others to vote ānoā and who couldnāt be bothered getting off their arses for a [turns up nose] general election) but fear not, Sturgeon is bound to shake fuck things up plenty if she ever manages to tip over to about 60% support.
Admittedly, SNP support is mostly predicated upon an almost total hatred of the Preservatives and England seems to like awfully, getting repeatedly ground into the dirt by the same boot-heel over and over again but Cameron can still be the man responsible for the dissolution of the UK and that is bound to change the landscape some, even if it only clogs boot-heels up in so much mud they become useless.
The next two or three years seem to hold the promise of āinteresting timesā for all of us. And like you said, at least the racists couldnāt muster fuck all at an orgy.
My parents are perma Tories in one of the safest of safe seats in rural Leicestershire - what they were āreally scared ofā was Labour in coalition with the SNP and they have āconcernsā over Europe that they think will now be listened to. And now they think that PR is a good idea.
Well, perhaps they should have voted for (admittedly, not very good) AV when they had the chance.
How much blame should be heaped at the feet of Russell Brand? There werenāt really that many spoiled ballots anywhere, but I can imagine some disaffected youth not bothering to turn up āas a protestā. The unfortunate fact that the politically engaged votersā protest was to vote for the Stories only seems to highlight that revolutionaries have been de-clawed by the burgeoning respect for the easy life that the internet seems to foster in a large segment of the yoof.
Itās a concatenation of clusterfucks.
We have the first anti-tory protests

When Scotland leave the Union, can Oxford East join you?
Hey, we all enjoyed 92-97, didnāt we? Weāre getting that turned up to 11.
When will Redwood stand for leader?
Who will be the first Tory to be sent to prison this time?
Iām worried that Cameron will pick someone worse than Ian Duncan-Smith to run the department of Crimes against Humanity.
Gove in charge of Justiceā¦
I think that Cameron is actually politically closer to people like Clegg and the other Orange Book liberals than many of the rest of his party. This is going to be 5 years of rebellion and in-fighting. I see a lot of defections to UKIP and/or Labour/LD coming.
The DWP had a higher body count than the Minstry of Justice over the last five years

At least that arsehole Pickles is gone.
