WTF has happened to the Lib Dems in the last 3 years?

They were a genuine 3rd party option when I was over there

both candidates are shite
May was complete shyte, but I still thought she would get over the line with a majority. She backed out of the live debates, that put a lot of people off me included, and she's been punished. Also the Tory manifesto was crap, while labours has a lot of good stuff in it - however unworkable it is. But they won't care about that as it's stopped the tories getting a majority. Don't know what will happen now everything is back up for grabs including second Brexit referendum. May just made the biggest cluster**** in UK political history

One thing that's clear is Murdoch and the other papers' influence is fast becoming irrelevant. Turnbull nearly ****** it up despite having the backing of almost every paper, Barnett here in WA got wiped out despite The West doing its best (no pun intended, he would've lost anyway) and now in a country where sensationalism is cranked up to 11, a bigger ****up than Hillary, both of whom had the support of the majority of mainstream media.

Not in the US though, media outlets mainstream or alternate still has a very strong grip there, probably because the people there really aren't very bright

Not quite as clear cut as that in the UK as there's a Lot of support for Corbyn in the MSM - not least from the BBC. On social media is where the left are most vocal though so point taken

the original Batman Adam West has died.

Yes I knew he was diagnosed recently with cancer, but this still a bit of a shock.

One of those guys that seemingly was around forever, even continuing to appear in shows and his voiceover work and was quite content taking the piss out of himself.

No better examples than his cameos in The Simpsons, which still make me laugh. The way he tapped onto his chest and said "pure West", absolute gold :D

RIP.

Bet 365 holding my money for Theresa May to be PM. Wonder how long they'll wait before paying out

No I wasn't stupid enough to jump on the short odds. I'd put money on Corbyn when he was paying $7.50 a week or so ago. Then on the day once votes started coming in I cashed out with $2.80 cash out odds. Banked my stake and put the rest on May who was now out to $1.95

Watched Beauty and the Beast last night. Had I known it was a musical, I definitely wouldn't have. It was a nice story though and very good visuals etc. Loved the Candelabra.
