    The Telegraph predicts a seismic Labour party wipe-out - the worst in British election history - whilst the very same Labour party, led by Jeremy Corbyn (ex IRA and Al Qaeda supporter) is proposing free broadband for the entire UK at a cost of, wait for it....around £20 billion.

    The gloves are off, but babies are always a safe bet.

    I admit to being a Tory however I've never got too worked up about it when they've lost an election in the past. Blair after all was more like a Tory and Brown carried on the same.

    Corbyn looks and talks more like a 1960's union leader than a future PM.

    Oh! I didn’t look at the baby, either!


    From now on, that face will be photoshopped onto every baby in a picture with a politician.

    The British public must sick and tired of the third election in four years, which takes place tomorrow, Thursday.

    I predict a Conservative victory, but I'm not sure if Johnson is still going to get enough seats in the House.

    Foregone conclusion even before Corbyn started digging holes for himself.

    I was only a Scot Nat back then because Scotland had a half decent football team. As I was young she was too old for me to have such thoughts. I was in love with Mairi Barr anyway.

    No such luck. She was a nurse from Eaglesham.

    I like @UK Man’s Winston Churchill better than @Splinter’s skinny Father Christmas.


    BTW, in the US, I think that such Christmas symbols wouldn’t be allowed at a government polling place.


    But back to the U.K. election, shouldn’t we be getting the results any minute now?
