Ne'er get thee stitched til Booris be ditched: UK General Election 2019

Feel sick with dread. I don't want to stay up tonight, but I know I won't be able to help myself.

Crossing my fingers for Swinson. Think I would die of happiness if Johnson lost his, would be thrilled if there was at least a squeeze.

Regardless of how they do, proud of the fight that labour have put up this election. All those years we had to hear about what a disaster it would be if Johnson got it as he was just going to flatten the competition. A walking episode of HIGNFY, we were told, the public love him! I feel like those sentiments suddenly seem incredibly revealing in a way that should have been obvious all along. Despite being groomed all his life he's been pathetic and the campaign has only been hindered by him, in contrast to the absolute boy. It's going to be a long fucking day. I'm already sick with worry. Sitting here waiting for agency work phone call, desperate for something to pass the day with. Desperate for the money too. Desperate for any glimpses of hope. Hoping the rain keeps mean old Tories at home. Hoping the youth vote vastly outstrips poller estimations. It's the hope that gets you right? Good luck UK.

V quiet at my polling station. Drove through Rye last weekend, fucking tory posters everywhere. They may still swing it even if Hastings votes labour, like last time

The concept of "Hastings and Rye" actually cracks me up

best of luck UK, fingers crossed

obligatory doggo content. he broke his harness and followed me into the polling station because he's only used to being tied outside the Onestop and didn't like the vibes of this place. Remember: dogs don't kill people, Tory voting scum do.

given the continued movement of the polls is it possible that six weeks is just not long enough for an election?

or is it always like this regardless, as minds get focused?

chalk outline of a tory voter he savagely killed, good dog

polling station was a lot busier than in 2017 - no queues but traffic at least

got the fear lads

Here’s hoping someone on the BBC’s coverage points out that they’ve lost a generation over their coverage.

In my (too) many years of (pointlessly) voting I have never once come across a queue at a polling station - and this morning was no exception! As usual - this being the polling station where Corbyn votes - the photographers outnumber the voters, leading to a minor incident where a voter called the photographers "scum" and got a swift, "Fuck off you prick" in return. Last election, as I left the polling station, Corbyn was coming up the road, surrounded by acolytes, with drivers pumping horns and people hanging out their windows shouting encouragement. No sign of the old boy this morning though.

Obligatory 'good luck, UK!'

Best of luck to all of you fine peeps! <3

Is Boris voting in Uxbridge or Two Cities? Must be the first time he’s been to Uxbridge all campaign if the former.

Monaco might once have been ‘a sunny place for shady people’ in Somerset Maugham’s classic phrase, but it has since been turned into a glitzy haven for the super-rich.

Hmm

Not seeing the contradiction there

I have been informed that personal images from my past have been sent to some media outlets and are set to be released today.

I’ve had loads of criticisms of Corbyn but it’s such a joy to see him out campaigning, he clearly loves it and loves meeting with and talking to people.

cast my vote for fully automated luxury gay space communism in accordance with the command of my beloved chairman jaggy crampons

stoked for the madness

(nb i am not stoked, i am shitting it)

you can plainly see from the photos that Jack Russell-cross lad whatever he be called absolutely despises Boris.

Lol Ross Kemp with the Labour endorsement wtf

also got a text from my mum, whose politics have historically leaned towards centre-right, that she had done the same after i lovingly berated her about how if she didn’t note for labour she’d be condemning her granddaughter to a life in a climate-change-blasted corporate hellscape

CRITICAL SUPPORT FOR COMRADE KEMP

I knew Ross Kemp was a bit of a hardcore remainer, but thought he was way too posh/meltcentric to break Corbyn!

Well Cromblyn did say he preferred Eastenders to Corrie

So mad for distraction that am listening to pop stars that have backed Corbyn but lol what is this garbage?

It's dark, I'm deaf in one ear, I've got a fuckload of Y11 marking to do so won't be able to get out to vote until later, but still it's the hope. The hope. This thread has been a beacon of (relative sanity) over the last few years. Good luck everyone.

Ross Kemp has always been Labour. Rebekah Brooks was, too, until she divorced him and married that Chipping Norton polo schmuck.

Rebekah fucking Wade! that is one Corbyn endorsement u wouldn't love 2 see

First time in 20 years that I’ve seen a queue at my polling station. pic.twitter.com/PddeJ12i19

as a domestic violence enthusiast herself, brooks is more of a natural boris voter

my polling station was filled with tumbleweed and the scent of shattered dreams at 8:10 but glad turnout seems encouraging elsewhere

Good luck everyone!

It won't make much difference in my area as we're firmly Labour, but I may as well help along with the flow :-)

Every vote matters

I voted and I'm not even British, so go out and cast your ballot!

is... is that even legal

This is my (and Corbyn's) polling station, which is literally 1 minute from my front door.

wow tom you look nothing like i expected

is... is that even legal

It's a Romanian thing, you wouldn't understand.

(Kidding aside, it's one of the rare perks of being a member of the Commonwealth.)

either way, thank u for voting to get brexit done, it's so important that we honour our solemn promise to the british people

btw i'm gonna apologise now for shitting up this thread for the rest of the day because i'm unable to concentrate on work and i'm, as i said upthread, shitting it

The French press have cottoned on to Boris. 'Boris Johnson- The liar who is weakening Europe'. @le_Parisien calls @BorisJohnson a 'crafty devil, manipulator but amiable' and notes that he's been caught lying numerous times throughout his career... pic.twitter.com/lVnhnsr2Y2

Le Pariesien sur les monnaies

well, they would say that

I would have thought that making sure that a firmly held political area remained firmly held was a necessity. Hope everybody that can vote is going to do so even in those areas.

Wish my vote hadn't lapsed but been away from being a UK resident for over 15 years and hadn't made sure it was kept up before that. Otherwise would be making sure i did get a vote in.
Just hoping they do get firmly trounced

either way, thank u for voting to get brexit done, it's so important that we honour our solemn promise to the british people

My pleasure, you'd do the same for us after all.
