Nice to read a pleasant headline

🚨 BREAKING: The Tory party is set to suffer total annihilation, according to a final mega poll. Full story: trib.al/BeoNk1z

UK election: Tories set to suffer total annihilation, final mega polls predicttrib.al Keir Starmer’s Labour will romp to victory, according to pollster YouGov.

"Total annihilation" is probably redundant (like "completely destroyed") but it's far more emotionally satisfying

This better not end like those clickbait videos that say “Watch this Democratic committee member TOTALLY DESTROY Marjorie Taylor Greene,” only to show me someone saying, “I personally disagree.”

free gratis, as a TV saloon owner liked to say free fucken gratis

Breaking out some canned peaches to celebrate

In some contexts free (gratis) is an important distinction from free (libre) Like software for instance. It can be free (no cost) or free (no restrictions/DRM) or both/neither

And is reminiscent of the game.

A forgotten classic

Not "forgotten," per se. Better to say neglected.

Tories set to suffer Warcraft II

SC:FA please.

This reads like Warhammer fanfic and I’m all about it. In the grim darkness of the past there was only Tory rule.

What's funny is that brings us full circle, since Warhammer 40k was originally conceived as a satire of Thatcherite England

Brexit happened right before Trump. Maybe this is a hopeful sign

The post Trump Republican party will implode in a similar fashion (any minute now)

They will the question is how many people we can protect from them before it happens.

There's that Keynes saying about how the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent and I imagine a similar principle applies here

We nearly managed in it Canada many years ago... unfortunately, the remaining rump metastasized into something worse...

How often sometimes we get so used to the bad news, we don't hear the good.

Sunak being brown will get the blame for the full 14 years of Tory Tory Tory.

Yeah, things are so bad over there that Labour ran on a "we promise we won't touch anything" platform and are looking to win with a massive landslide.

Good riddance.

“total annihilation”

So - Labour is the best, Britain has to offer?

I GUESS SO

No the greens

Would very much love a world in which green parties called the shots more often

Except they’re all rapidly becoming the parties that represent the PR department of car companies

ah wonderful great that's super

#FORSOOTH

inshallah

In the 1993 Canadian federal election, our Tories went from government to holding just 2 out of 295 seats. It's the worst loss of any party in ANY Westminster style parliament, anywhere. The record to beat! 🤞🏻
