News from the UK: Election Aftermath (Jonathan Pie)

[Binkie The Clown]

Maybe we need to take heed before we let the MAGA crowd steal the next election too.

3. Damn!

I love this guys passion! Agree with almost everything he said too. Think he could have actually gone a bit further in that posting on fb and NOT GOING TO THE POLLS because "hey everyone on my fb feed agrees with me so I guess its a landslide for our side" is just a fantasy. Too many fb warriors and not near enough people in the streets where it COUNTS. When I went to the March for our Lives rally there were barely 1.5k people there. Sure it was cold as hell and raining most of that day and the official estimate was "close to 5k" but I've worked with big to huge crowds in my business for 40+ years and can estimate a crowd myself pretty damn well. There was nowhere close to that 5k taking part.

You see around the world 100's of thousands of people in the streets demanding change of one form or another and we seem to like mashing our fb likes much more. It will be the death of our Democracy in my opinion.

6. With the Johnson result watch for jobs to be wrecked along

with healthcare and pensions.

Great piece, although Jon looks a little rough, and the audio isn't so good.
