    The Mash is more accurate than the so-called real papers:

    I am a strong, stable, paranoid lunatic, says May

    “As if it matters who we’re negotiating with. As if it matters to us if it’s her, Corbyn, that Lib Dem non-entity or Clement Atlee risen from the grave. “It’s not personal, Theresa. You seem astonishingly clueless and easy to take advantage of, true, but that is all of Britain at the moment. “Interfere? Would a man pick sides in an argument with ants? Idiot ants, arguing about which of them gets to **** up the anthill? Or would he ready his magnifying glass either way?”
    We don’t give a tulip who wins your pathetic bunfight, responds EU

    And one for the extra-delusional CUK'ers:

    EUROPEAN leaders do not seem to realise the EU will collapse when Britain leaves, puzzled Britons have observed.

    Many feel the EU is being oddly uncooperative over Brexit when it should be grovelling before the UK’s all-powerful service economy and WW2-winning armed forces.
    EU strangely not begging Britain for mercy

    It's so sad, such a pathetic figure on the world stage, is this the best the UK can do
    Well Lynton told May that the speech would work just like his tactics worked for Goldsmith's campaign to be Mayor of London to get Khan elected...

    Rumour is Corbyn is going to propose a coalition to get into power. With labour MPs.


    He will be asked to get rid of Abbott.

    It's all we can do in an otherwise rubbish election with no real choice on the domestic matters that should concern us all beyond Brexit: NHS, education, police, jobs that actually grow GDP (real jobs, not Sports Direct zero contracts stuff). And of course, looking after the likes of contractors, self-employed and SMEs, whom the Tories would normally count in their core vote.

    The fact that we won't see manifestos for another 2 weeks, and these probably won't contain specifics, just a tulip 'direction of travel', will prove that we're all in for a major bumming.

    You people need to take your head out of the sand and really think, if you do prefer either of these two to be PM then vote for them but be careful what you wish for, they would be a disaster, especially propped up by Sturgeon.

    So I am voting...Lib Dem - in the vain hope that others do so too so that the Tories' majority won't be as huge as they hope, and may just make them adjust the amount of shafting we will all get in the next 5 years. Gawd it's going to be painful.
    Vote tactically for your area please, again remember most likely the Tories will win, so the idea is not winning, its to stop them from sweeping all seats, we need opposition, and if you vote for the wrong party for your area, its like a vote wasted... look up your area online and the MPs and vote tactically either Lib-Dems or Labour... I think JC is OK as an opposition.
