Nobody panic, we’re still here.

The good thing about General Elections in the United Kingdom (whilst it’s still here) is that elections happen on a Thursday. This means that the country can catch up on some sleep and wait until the MPs meet in Parliament on the following Monday. All of this means that we won’t see of feel anything happen for a few weeks. or to put it another way – the world is still spinning and this was considered a favorable outcome by some.

I bloody knew that I was right when I started to just type nonsense on to a keyboard. I’ve dried up trying to write about current affairs. But I kind of feel that I have to. In the old days, you could have looked up an old news paper to see what was going on, but these can’t be trusted anymore. Doing this will fire off a few memories in my head in years to come. At some point I’ll have to print everything out and save it off-line. I don’t trust the future and neither should you. All of this is a kind of meta data or another piece in the jigsaw to help create a picture of what things were like before oblivion. The people in charge now are the people in charge of the news.

Nothing has changed. Things we all need to do hasn’t changed. And it would be unlikely that any good things would have happened to the people who really needed it would have changed. So all we have to do is keep doing the right things. Possibly, just by accident everything could end up fine. That’s the plan of our new rulers.

The environment is fucked

If only the neo con, free marketeers valued the environment. If only deregulation valued the environment. If only people who weren’t born in this county weren’t worried. If only the Left weren’t totally useless.

Despite to 80 seat majority for the Conservatives would lead to a full five year term under the fixed term Parliament Act, I don’t even think this will happen. If there was ever a time when we finally have the full five years, it’s now, but I have a feeling that this won’t happen.

The official opposition has failed and it failed in winning the election. There’s a good chance that winning wasn’t the plan. Doing that would have shown if their plans would have worked or not. By losing they can hang on to the dream of those plans without the reality of finding out if they were right. This way, the ideology survives and the true believers can still dream and preach their truth.

On the other hand, we know what we’re getting with the other lot. But just, maybe just PM Boris will surprise us. Either way, badgers and foxes will have a tough time to come.
