Feelings of ominous despair.

[Kryton]

Genuinely shitting myself. If the Tories get in again, everything is fucked. My home town is poor as fuck, so many homeless people, numerous food banks, ruthless Universal credit staff - that kinda thing. Shops closing, budgets being slashed, no funding....

You'd think people would be rallying for Labour to fight back, but it seems the Tory/Brexit brainwashing has done its job. Lots of heartless/clueless/ignorant comments on social media supporting Boris Johnson / Nigel Farage but blaming local Labour MP's for the recent decline. Makes me despair.
Extremely dubious and somewhat threatening remarks about Labour councillors being 'traitors' for not respecting the 52% Brexit decision. Some of these cunts would kill their own children if 52% of people voted for it.

I genuinely think Johnson (if he wins) will take us down a route of no return. Goodbye NHS.

[Twit 2]

It'll all be fine, I reckon. Have you considered voting Tory for a laugh?

[Space ghost]

Best thing to do is stop looking at social media. You can apply this advice to nearly any situation.

Johnson is basically Berlusconi and Italy seems to be ok.

We're all completely fooked, aren't we. Hate it. Hate it. Dunno what we can even do.

You're not tied to the UK*. If it's going down the shitter, leave it for a few years. UK/Irish citizens are eligible for work permits all over the world. Good for the CV, nice bit of life experience, come back when the place is less of a mess.

It's miserable, but if the place makes you feel naught but dread and despair (as it does for me, the small "c" conservative shithole) then a break elsewhere might be a great fit. Might not be your thing (and it's not available to everyone based on age/commitments/family etc etc) but figured I'd mention it anyway. I can be contacted at the usual address for advice on moving to Canada.

_{*apart from all the ways you are tied to the UK like family and friends and jobs and that}

You made me remember that every election some celeb, often one we hate, says they'll leave the country if such-and-such party wins, and then when said party wins they never do!

I left when I said I would. There are dozens of us!

I promised to myself that I will move back if Labour win

Thanks for that. Fucking bad timing, eh (canadian)

[Konki]

Can a nation be stupid? I reckon the UK is about to prove it can be.

[Ominous Dave]

At the current exchange rate it only costs £548,389 to get Maltese (and therefore EU) citizenship. Haven't fished down the back of my sofa for coins lately but I reckon there's probably at least that many.

[Urinal Cake]

Tories have done a great job going through every strata of society and convincing them Corbyn and Labour will be the worst thing on earth.
For example Aramando and his lot of has decided -with a heavy heart- that it is better to have child poverty than let Corbyn transport Jews to a concentration camp in Worcester.

[H-O-W-L]

Haven't got my polling card yet, though I got my card for council elections a few months ago. Am I rogered?

[Buelligan]

You can still vote (if you're registered to vote and it sounds like you are) but it makes sense to check where your card is (because this will make the whole process easier when you go to vote).  You can find out where to chase it up using this handy checker thing.

I'd say to anyone who's despairing, don't despair, take action.  Now is the time for action to end the despair.  Get up and do it.

this time next week corbo will be PM. this is the case. mark my words lads.

[buttgammon]

I can't even leave the country because I've already done that, and Ireland's clearly going down the toilet too. We'll be fucked to death by Brexit, but even without that, Dublin is becoming an awful place to live. Any scrap of culture or history has been sold, demolished or privatised, slum landlords are pushing rents to absurd levels that rise month on month and the homelessness epidemic is far beyond crisis point, but the government have no interest in resolving it. The only investment seems to be in projects for tourists and idiotic white elephant projects designed to impress tech bros. The city is now something in between a theme park and a Victorian nightmare.

The terrifying thing is that a lot of the issues we're trying to deal with are global problems, that virtually no western governments are willing to address.

[Buelligan]

Hate to harp on but that really is why this push for change with Corbyn is so important and not just for the UK.  In the case of Eire, taking no deal off the table, making the options either a sane brexit or remain would save a lot of economic heartache for the Irish economy.  The revolution Corbyn's election and premiership, would bring, in terms of proving what is possible, well, that could change not just Ireland but the world, it could be the pebble that starts the landslide heralding a new world order.  I believe in it.  I hope for it.

So please, don't give up anybody, we are so nearly there.  When you think of all the barriers we have overcome, we must not stop.

[Icehaven]

Same here, although I've never once taken my polling card with me when going to vote and it's never mattered so you should be fine. Still wondering where it's got to though.

[popcorn]

We're def going to win I reckon.

[BlodwynPig]

Hate to harp on but that really is why this push for change with Corbyn is so important and not just for the UK.  In the case of Eire, have a laqer.

[Buelligan]

You know me too well piggers, my words always have two meanings.  Almost always.

Now stop thinking about laquering and do something for the Revolution.

[Absorb the anus burn]

Sorry Kryton, but fuck that... Millions of people in this country are determined to prevent a Tory majority.... Are you canvassing? Are you using the Labour phone ap? Are you volunteering on election day?
