It doesn't really surprise me, many have said that they can't vote for Corbyn, but it's much more than I thought it would be.
And there was me thinking the public loved our NHS, silly me.
I have been saying for a long time that the majority of the British public are ignorant and feckless.
What more proof do you need.
Still, you all watch what happens now, we will regret this massive mistake.

Not much to say. Except that my biggest concern from BREXIT was endless right wing governments and the break up of the union. Sadly, if the exit polls are correct, it has come to pass.

The socialist dream is over I guess. Labour will probably return to a centre left party similar to the Blair era.

Obviously we don't yet know for sure, as this poll hasn't always been right, but, assuming it is roughly correct, then hopefully for their sakes moderate elements within the labour Party will at last rise up, show some moral courage and fight back against the militants, who have hijacked the party, knowing full well, that had they stood separately, their share of the vote would be minimal at best.

I fear for my disabled kids future's - stand on your own two feet doesn't really work, when you physically can't.

If the exit poll is correct, then we are in for 5 years of ideological cuts...

I have a disabled child to but it's good news for me as it looks as if I will keep my job at a private school so will still be able to provide for my family

That's what happens when the billionaire class backs you. I fear for the NHS and the lower classes of this country, they're in for a rough time.

Well, at least the UK can be decisive with Brexit now. Just get it done and we can move on.

a galaxy far far away
How on earth did Labour manage to lose all those seats? This means this will have some enormous majorities overturned. I'm sure decent Brexit party tallies in the midlands and north will have played a big part

We can all go to bed.

The country can start to go forward now.

The people have spoken.

Long live Britain, now back you country everyone, and we can now prosper again.
Well said sir. For 3 1/2 years they have tried to stop the brexit result. Well this is the country saying enough is enough. No more. All those that have denied the referendum I hope they have lost their seats. Particularly Soubry.

That would seem a rather strange comment, given what Corbyn had in mind . . .

Would have been if Labour win

No. I literally mean Britain is f*cked. SNP on 55 seats, up by 20. Tories wiped out in Scotland, IndyRef2 on it's way and this time they'll vote to leave.

That's not what this election result is going to say as I predicted the silent majority showing their voice when needed

If you really want to be the silent majority, do the world a favour and shut the **** up for once.
