[QUOTE="Angela Channing, post: 65803, member: 33"] One highlight for me last night was seeing Theresa May at the count in her constituency. She looked as if she had been crying and in her acceptance speech, her voice cracked with emotion at one point at the realisation that she had lead her party to failure. I hope that when the tears ran down her face she thought of all the people in Britain that she has reduced to tears by her cruel policies, such as that young woman who tearfully asked her a question on the BBC Leaders Question Time about how the government had taken away her Disability Living Allowance that she was getting for a mental illness and which exacerbated her condition and she wasn't able to access treatment on the NHS. Another highlight was seeing Nick Clegg losing his seat. Clegg was the enabler of the Cameron government in 2010 and without him we wouldn't have had those 5 years of austerity that destroyed the lives of so many people while he happily voted for tax cuts for the rich. Clegg's decision to get into bed with Cameron was out of personal ambition rather than what was best for the country and it started a chain reaction that ultimately lead to Brexit. My final highlight in a night of great moments was when Jeremy Corbyn went to his count and was cheered by the crowds like a rock star. His decision to run on a true socialist manifesto really connected with voters and he was completely vindicated as he increased the party's share of the vote by more than any party leader since Atlee. The loss of Theresa May's majority is all the sweeter because she didn't have to call the election but her arrogance convinced her she couldn't roll over the Labour Party but she didn't count on the voters seeing through her lies and smears to see that Jeremy Corbyn was a honest and decent man that the public warmed to. It looks like UKIP is all but dead and hard Brexit is all but dead so we should rejoice in that news and thank Mrs May for her shooting her party in the foot by calling the election. [/QUOTE]
