Fright Wig Night

So... That's that then. A massive Labour majority and I should be cock-a-hoop. Today should be a fabulous day, full of joy and optimism. The problem is I stopped supporting Labour when it lurched to the right. I'm not a moderate. I'm not a centrist. I'm barely a centre leftist and like the 40.4% of eligible voters who didn't vote, I have no enthusiasm for any of the political parties based in England. I have some enthusiasm for the Scottish National Party, but I'm in the minority there as well. 

Labour needs to do an awful lot over the next five years to instil me with any sense of optimism and if what Obi Wan Kier has been saying for the last year or so is anything to go by or is what we're going to get then I can't see people being happy. 

Sunak was a defiant twat to the end, but at least he was magnanimous. Good riddance to him and the shite that got beaten; especially Liz Triss, Grant Shapps and fucking Jacob Rees Mogg. They won't suffer for losing, but I wish they would.

At least we've seen the last of the scumbags who have destroyed this country and kingdom. We just need the people who have replaced them to restore us to some level of competence. I'm not optimistic but I won't be dismissive.

Let the rebuild begin.
