    Labour loses, Socialism loses, Anti-Semitism loses, and Anti-Brexit loses. Now, can the Conservatives be wise enough and brave enough to de-Socialize Britain (Remove Socialist programs), and re-Capitalize her (deregulate markets, especially the financial markets)? We shall see.

    The big problem for Corbyn wasn't his age-old anti-Semitism - most
    English are not Jews and wouldn't feel compelled about his association
    to terrorist groups and Venezuela. Most English did not want his "cardigan
    Communism" and the huge debt imposed on future generations.

    Oh, oh...that’s sick and demented. What? Your lonely? Need attention? Vileness is not a good way to behave, now is it?

    And it would help if
    1 - all Jews go home to their ancestral land
    2 - all Palestinians go home to THEIR ancestral land.

    Corbyn has never said or done anything even remotely antisemitic. Those claiming he did are just liars and dupes. Corbyn's problem was that he refused to fight back against these malicious smears and instead surrendered to them like a wimp.

    People in America like to point out the "indigenous peoples" issue.
    Same as Australia.
    It's trendy.
    Jews are indigenous to Israel, saying otherwise means you're Racist.

    How about, respect for individual rights instead of racial boundaries? That be better, wouldn’t it?

    Corbyn made himself a friend of anyone who hated Jews - be they
    Arabs or English. He didn't have to say anything - people judged him by
    his behavior.
    How is it that the Left "fights racism" and "indigenous rights" but
    denies them to Jews?

    I must have done great since you have no rebuttal.

    No, he didn't. That is just a bunch of nonsense.

    I must remember that one when some Native American or Aborigine speaks
    of land rights.

    Okay, let's be pedantic. He feted, applauded or defended
    the people who killed Jews. And refused to apologize.

    Frankly, I don't think this was a factor in the elections - too
    few Jews to vote.

    I agree. Let's start by acknowledging the individual rights of Palestinians, rights that the Israeli state has been violating egregiously for several decades.

    All Corbyn did was stand up for the legitimate rights of the Palestinians who are being violently oppressed by the state of Israel. Nothing antisemitic about that.

    I don't know why he acted as he did but when he chose to tell his party that they should deny that the charges of antisemitism were a smear campaign, he lost this election. Reality is antisemitism in the Labour Party is very low and has gone down since Corbyn became leader. That is what statistics show. England is running on lies.

    The result is England moved to the hard right. Majority for a United Ireland for the first time and Scotland for Independence. That looks like the end result. England leave EU. The UK breaks up.

    There were people who stood up for Jesus and attacked the Jews - nothing anti-Semitic at all.
    And people who stood up to the killing of Christian children for their blood - nothing anti-Semitic at all
    And people who defended the little people against the money lenders - nothing anti-Semitic at all
    And people who defended their racial purity - - nothing anti-Semitic at all.
    And people who fought against Communist influence - nothing anti-Semitic at all.

    When you read of people being shot up in Synagogues and Kosher restaurants, Jewish graves
    vandalized, Hassidic Jews attacked in the streets - I doubt the attackers ever asked, "What is
    your position on Israel and the Arabs?" Pure, naked racism.

    Oh, and visa versa. Let's not get involved in a 4,000 dispute between two Semitic groups.

    Hey! AOC! Who’s sorry now? Did the vote against Socialism rain on your parade?

    No, England decided to stay in the centre. Labour have moved so far left that it makes anyone look far right. Boris is possibly the most liberal Conservative we have had as leader, good times ahead for this wonderful nation.

    I am proud that we rejected Corbynism and his lies. He has damaged a whole generation of young voters with pipe dreams and fallacies about impending doom.

    I would like to thank AOC for her support of the Labour Party. The same as I thanked Obama for telling us we should remain in the EU.

    The average Brit despises being told what to do, especially by rich celebrities and elites.

    Congratulations, James. I noticed the FTSE is surging - record high, perhaps?

    You should be proud. A lot of us here in America are proud of you, too.

    I'm also hoping that this is a harbinger of things to come in our own country.

    I'm not sure about record highs but it's a great start. British Utility companies, FTSE and Housing Developers shares are up. We will see a surge of investment in the UK over the coming 6 months which has been held back due to the uncertainty.

    The politics in UK and the USA are remarkably similar. The Labour Party are our equivalent of the Democrats, they possess all of the same ideas and craziness. I want the Labour Party to return to the centre, much like a lot of Americans want a more centrist Democratic party. Moderates fled the Labour Party, the same as they will the Dems. The Capitalist free world needs people like Trump and Johnson.

    England has moved to the hard right. You may say different not least because of your own political position. My daughter was telling me she heard someone say she had voted for the Tories because she wanted Brexit done and the Health Service improved and she thought -OMG - do they ever bother to find out what is going on...so it is of course possible that people voted not knowing what they were voting for.

    Anyway you have a Mandate to take England out of the EU but not Scotland or Northern Ireland.

    The cost of your vote is the UK.
