Why?

This country has voted, overwhelmingly, to shoot itself in the head. It wants to get rid of the NHS. It wants to be the 51st state of the US. Most oddly, it wants a liar running it. That is probably the most remarkable takeaway from the election. Why on earth would people want to elect a proven liar?

I’ve written before that I think this country has not had an opposition party since the referendum and I think it’s true. Jeremy Corbyn seems indecisive, non-representative and, frankly, not leadership material. If anything he’s effectively led the Labour party to the country’s demise.

Now the government has been given a mandate to enact the single biggest mistake in the history of the planet. With our departure from the EU and new trade deals made with the US how will we ever reach anything like zero carbon emissions? Of course Boris Johnson promises we will. By 2050. Firstly that’s too late but, more importantly, he’s a proven liar.

And prices will rise. On everything. When will the poorest among us realise that the Conservatives do not care about them? The people described as ‘the worst idlers’ by a Tory minister. During the election campaign. Yet still they voted for it. A party that has said it’s PROUD of food banks.

It reminds me of the fact that Donald Trump said he’d run for the Republicans because only their voters were stupid enough to vote for him.

Why didn’t we have a politician, running for office who stood up and asked why people would vote for someone who thought they were stupid? I guess every party but the Conservatives are just as stupid as the majority of the voters. I bet Steve Bannon is rubbing his hands with glee as he casts his evil eye over the UK and it’s supplicant inhabitants.

And the racists have already started brazenly coming out of the woodwork. Nasty, evil little arseholes that they are. I think the collective noun for a bunch of racists is mucus. And the mucus will be running down the streets of England now thanks to this election. It really makes me hate living here. So much.

And people are trying to save the planet. For this lot? Why? Fucking populism and racism will kill everyone before they have stopped being able to breathe.

How appropriate today is Friday 13th.
