Does anyone have anything they're almost ready to post, or would like us to wait for, or should I post as Cunningham again?

Damn fascists. Wrecking all our good shit.
Btw while we're talking about this it's worth mentioning that I'm further left than normal at the moment, because I'm celebrating Labour gains by listening to the Socialist Victory Choir.
@Grimhildr I'm 18, and want to be a doctor. I have... interesting politics, in that depending on the context I can seem anything from democratic socialist to Marxist-Leninist, Red Army, Communist shit. But despite that, I have an enormous amount of respect for liberals and conservatives both, because ultimately me and them share a great deal of commonality in that we want to make things better for people through application of policy and politics.
Thing is, there are barely any real conservatives left. The Tory party are driven entirely by greed and classist malice rather than any desire to build stability and improve quality of life for people, and they make cuts and auction public property not meritocratically but nepotistically. They're generally either corporatist or genuinely fascist. I wish labour had proper opponents, not these scum.
Like... a real Conservative might be making cuts to public funding, but they'd probably mostly leave the NHS alone on account of all the evidence supporting its good funding. And what they did cut would be that which is unnecessary or that which we can do without. That's been done before and it HAS helped, it's just not what's going on.
Sigh. Tory party isn't respectable these days. Weren't always in the past either, but they've had good moments.

Actually I'm ecstatic. Labour made huge gains, and the tories made huge losses, all but proving that Corbyn is a superb leader and that a genuinely left wing platform is still more than viable for the U.K. Even with the DUP coalition, the tories do not have a significant functioning majority and individual Tory MPs are very likely to rebel against the whip when it comes to voting on the worse cuts, as their seats were often very very marginal with Labour candidates. Labour made huge gains and the tories are ultimately weakened.
This being said, our NHS is going to come under a huge amount of fire. Fortunately, all the doctors I know of are practically superhuman, and will fight almost literally to the death for it. Plus, if Theresa May stays on and tries to be just as extreme with her severely weakened mandate, we're probably going to have literal riots in London at the very least.

@Grimhildr Because the tories lost seats? Or because labour didn't gain enough?
Or because of the Irish Fascists forming a coalition with the Tories?

@Grimhildr Happy with the General Election results, Grim?
@CollectorOfMyst There are going to be plenty of things both to love and to hate. Assuming I can do my job right, we'll all get a good share of laughs, tears, and mortal injury.
@Deadnaut Quite possibly. You wanna PM it to me, see if I can help with the block?
Out of interest, how does everyone think our story is gonna go?
