Dismantling and privatizing the NHS ?!

I'd be out there in front of parliament with a big-ass sign that screams:

"Hell no May must go ! Burn the witch !!"

Not pissed off about that but I think we need our own forum for sure!
Should have happened ages ago.

I petitioned pretty hard for that back during brexit never got it.

The NHS is screwed much more than the public know.

I work in it, its a lot worse than what people think

American site mate , our little old election aint gonna bother no one.
TBH it doesn't bother me either , we're screwed no matter who gets in , devil or the deep blue sea.

a reply to: OtherSideOfTheCoin

Why? There is like 90% of Americans on ATS, some of us are from Europe, and some of that percentage is from the UK...it's a tiny percentage of members still

That's some scary stuff right there.

I don't know about you guys but our NHS system is the only goddamn thing worth paying taxes for.

Who the hell knows where the rest of our taxes go with these friggin crooks.

At least there is a stark difference between the different ways to get screwed.
Haven't been this much of a contrast for decades.

Thanks for the link, does live coverage now start in 10 minutes (10 pm your time), or does that happen a bit later ?

So close now. We should know for definite that the Conservatives have a majority within the next 30 minutes...
..or I'll have egg on my face.

It was good seeing no BNP, EDL or similar on the ballot papers. Recent posts here would have us thinking these outfits have popular support.

The votes are nearly all in and all that remains to be seen is how close it is.

My voting booth was supervised by two old ladies with Russian accents and Raybans.

If the end result is we get screwed then I don't see the benefit.

a reply to: gortex

It's a guarantee whatever way the vote goes.

A common theme in the western world these days apparently

a reply to: 83Liberty

My prediction is an overall Conservative majority of between 30-40 seats.

I hope I'm wrong.

I think it'll be a low turn out as well.....a bad thing for those not voting Tory.

Oh, and on odds on certainty - Sunderland to be the first constituency to declare.

I think its touch and go if the incumbent Labour MP in my constituency keeps her seat, she currently has a majority of 3000.

You get to choose between Mish and Doggy

BBC exit poll shows no Con Majority
C 314
L 266
SNP 34
LD 14
Others 20

I just pulled up BBC One live video broadcast

Let the anxiety-riddled rhetoric begin...

a reply to: Freeborn

BBC's saying Tories winners, but short of a majority.

You know all Theresa May had to do was not say anything.

The polls before she started saying anything had her with 20-30 points lead.

After she endorsed fox hunting and all sorts of other stupid things it started a rapid decline.

Though we've seen how unreliable and inaccurate exit polls are, Brexit and Trump being the big ones.
