Boris Johnson wins UK election and Scott Morrison introduces religious discrimination bill

[@KeikosLastSmile]

I cried solidly from 10pm to 3am on election night. All these people obsessed with the ideology of Brexit whilst we have children literally starving due to austerity policies. Unbelievable

[@AngryAussie]

I feel so bad for you

[@justinun01]

You have to wonder if the breakup of the UK will lead to a push for the Australian Republic.

[@AngryAussie]

Wouldn't surprise me

[@EnvironmentalCoffeehouse]

Thanks for this commentary

[@AngryAussie]

You're welcome

[@Burori1]

I for one welcome Scottish, Welsh and Irish independance.

It's gonna be a thing

Watching from the inside, we can only judge the new government on what they do next. The fan is running and there's a lot of shit to throw.

"What's nest?" is a big question

Hi Angry, The beautiful irony of the Religious Freedom bill is that the loony christian element that wanted this bill will now have to put up with the equivalent Muslim, Jewish or other christian sects who can now say the same things about them and discriminate against them with impunity.

[@AngryAussie]

I think they're a bit too thick to know that

[@migueljackson9230]

Let’s get brexit done 💪🏻

[@AngryAussie]

I guess

[@darthslain]

[@AngryAussie]

I don't see things getting better.

What was being said about Corbyn was not that much of a problem, the bigger problem was that much of the Labour heartland, the so-called 'red wall', is made up of strongly Leave voting seats, and Labour Leavers have accused him for a while of plotting to cancel Brexit, there were several traditional Labour seats in the north where Labour lost to the Brexit Party. Sure, his diehard fans will insist it was the nonsense accusations alone, because they don't want to admit that many in their own camp simply are not in favour of socialism, and undecided voters were often put off by his outlandish promises that he wouldn't be able to keep in a million years. But first and foremost, they called it an 'election', but it clearly was a second Brexit referendum, that was the one driving issue this time. But yeah, for some time, years in fact, it had become increasingly clear that without a leadership change, they'll be doing really badly, and his fans hadn't a lot to hold against it, besides dumb shit like "his name is being chanted", because that obviously proves an awful lot, as we all know. To quote someone's take on the previous election, you just know that Labour will lose if the only sources claiming otherwise are the likes of The Canary. EDIT: My personal highlight was when Jo Swinson (Lib Dem), who advertised herself as 'the next PM', lost her seat to the SNP, that must hurt a lot more than not becoming PM, hahaha!

[@AngryAussie]

Yeah, the Swinson result was funny

What is the signifigance of your 333 T-Shirt?..is that only half evil lol.

[@AngryAussie]

That's the second line

isn't swearing with the bible turned upside down a blasphemy

[@AngryAussie]

Pooping on the bible is blasphemy

[@thanepullan]

is the left to blame for not pushing back

[@AngryAussie]

What does "pushing back" mean?

[@thanepullan]

@@AngryAussie should corbyn have called out the lies against him more

[@AngryAussie]

The media should have done their job and not been part of the lies

[@thanepullan]

@@AngryAussie of course but that's living in a fantasy world where the media doesn't do the wealthy's bidding. i'm wondering what left-wing parties can do to combat the media's bias

[@That80sGuy1972]

Mislabeling ideas, or twisting an existing one, is the most insidious political move. Everybody pushing "religious liberty" so they can discriminate against people based upon their religion is like sexual predators pushing "sexual liberty" to make it so all forms of sexual assault and molestation are perfectly legal.

[@AngryAussie]

It's something corrupt powerful people often do
