I managed to get home in time to vote after a very long day. Always remember my gran telling me that women died in the fight to get the vote and have only missed voting when out of the country. Fancy myself as a bit of an historian so not just women, it took over a century of agitation, courage, transportation, imprisonment, hunger strikes and collective organisation to wield enough power to gain universal suffrage.
I am absolutely sickened to hear that Boris Johnson is now major of london - now that would definitely make my grandmother, great-grandmother and generations of my family throw themselves under a horse.
Anyone out there who voted in the london elections, and voted for Boris ... hang your head in shame. hang your head in f***ing shame. You have voted in a racist, sexist, homophobic, upper-class clown. Someone with no empathy or understanding of London and the huge problems a city of this size inevitably carries.
where i might have been weighing up london-coventry? london-coventry? with a somewhat resigned despair, suddenly coventry looks like an enticing prospect eventhough I feel the cleaver of cynicism slicing off a segment of my soul and depositing it on the A45 ring-road with every kilometer added to the clock.
Bastards. Every single person who voted tory and got that shit in, deserves the most severe pacifist slap i can conjure up. If I ever meet you at a gig and offer to buy you a drink, don't admit to voting tory just don't let me buy you a drink no matter how much i insist ... Bastards, bastards, bastards.
