[Walken]

Well done Britain.

You've done exactly what Murdoch told you to.

If it makes any of you feel better, I'm guessing you're feeling like many of us on the right felt when Obama won his second term. End of the world, the county can't survive this, etc., etc...

Well, we have survived despite the many problems our country has and the ineptitude of our current government (both parties)

Great Britain will survive too. Too strong a country not to.

It's absolutely crushing to see everything you hold dear and believe in tossed out by the electorate...

The NHS, help for the poor and vulnerable within society. People are going to suffer. It was bad enough during the last term, it now looks like they'll have free license to do whatever they please.

now favours con minority... switching around by the minute... Terrifying!

Flicked over for 5 minutes of the channel 4 stuff and saw that millionaire woman from Sandwich off Gogglebox saying that people only go to food banks because it's free food and they can't be bothered getting a job.

Some people are so detached from reality it's unbelievable. Horrible toerag lizard scumbags.

I hate this country and most of it's people. Truly embarrassing.

apparently the money markers are happy though.

Hurrah.

Well done Britain.

Indeed. Just like they did in 1997, 2001 and 2005 when he told them to vote Labour.

Funnily enough, there weren't any complaints at the time.

 

[dannyboy]

Apparently so....he is neck and neck with Labour in his Sheffield constituency.

I read that he edged ahead the past week or so thanks to Tories voting tactically to keep Labour out.

The way this night is going I can see what's going to happen here.

DUP have just lost a seat they expected to win.

*clutches straw*

That East Belfast?

Robinson lose again?

Murdoch just backs the winner. SNP in Scotland this year proves that.

Not sure about that. Many of Blair's most loyal followers felt uncomfortable with him getting into bed with Murdoch.

Nope South Antrim. Lost out to UUP. They will get East Belfast back as Iris has been behaving herself recently.

 

[Mrk]

They may well have been uncomfortable, but they didn't complain at the endorsements!

 

[davek]

Our part of the world's a crueler more spiteful place tonight.

A frightening turn to the extreme right in this country.

Hurrah.

This is all what the middling classes care about :

A perfect storm for Cameron. Labour shafted by the SNP in Scotland and the Lib Dem votes have gone to the Tories. We all knew, in 2010, that Clegg had been done by Cameron. Everybody could see it but him. I hope he can look back and think it was worth it.
