Sorry I haven’t been around for a bit, but I’ve been busy both with work and of course with helping to return the Conservatives to Government.

But that’s over now so I thought I’d pop back to see what’s happening. Oooh, haven’t you lot been busy!

But enough of that, let’s get down to business… losers!

[Killing me]

Yep. The electorate has handed the left its collective arse on a plate. UKIP have been exposed as nothing. The Greens are a lone outpost of a bunch of Brighton hippies, as they were before.

The country has decided that it prefers us Conservative rather than anything espoused by the majority on here. So I thought I’d come to have a little gloat.

Are most of you feeling sad and rejected?

Good.

The Scottish have – in their own “speshul” way – decided they have a better understanding of economics than everyone else and gone for the SNP. But they can be safely ignored now. We can bring in some policies that shaft the Scotch, whilst ensuring England can rightly call the shots.

First thing though is for us to implement the Boundary Commission changes that the LibDems vetoed in the last Parliament in a fit of pique after the electorate decided they wanted to keep the current voting system.

That should improve matters if the Prime Minister decides to call an early general election due to the small majority.

Now we can start running the country properly, completely ignoring the left’s whinging and moaning. I look forward to reading your posts on here wailing about us and generally failing to realise that the electorate doesn’t want anything further left than Blair-ism and that most of you on here are out of touch with reality. Basically the electorate has told most of you on here that you can take your politics and fuck right off.

You have all had a huge dissapointment in being rejected by the electorate, so I forgive you.

I am still going to gloat though.

Because you have been rejected. Losers.

Y'see, old Fourth Form Deano here never grew up. It's just a game to him; a bit like St Peters coming in front of Paulo Pontine in the House Rugby tournament. Hence his puerile "ha ha losers!" routine.

He thinks we're humiliated and rejected. He's wrong. We're worried. Worried for ourselves, perhaps - not in my case, I'll be all right, but that's not my sole guiding principle. Worried for our friends. For vulnerable people we know. For the people who'll starve to death on sanctions for missing an appointment they didn't get informed about, for the disabled people having their lifeline benefits cut, for all the other people who'll be right royally shagged by deano's heroes in the Tory party.

It's not a game. And this isn't humiliation, it's sadness. Deep sadness. I'm told disability charities are already publishing the Samaritans' number on their websites? They know, and their client groups know, what's coming.

This ranks really highly on the list of stupidest things you've written. And the bar is set high. You're going to sober up in a couple of days, possibly after making a pass at a minor Conservative official who mouths "who the hell is this guy?" To her assistant (who will shrug shoulders in response), and when you do come to your senses you will realise that equating Shipmates from all over the globe with candidates in a UK election makes no sense whatsoever.

He's afraid. It's the fear speaking and so he's acting as a kind of scapegoat to allow us to vent our frustrations. The only thing which will heal him is tea and scones (and none of those popular Tory pallid scones which we have been subjected too). We must give him proper scones or we are just as bad as our enemies. Evil must be defeated by scones.

It's been only hours since victory was declared and already the DWP are looking to make life harder for disabled people. Not only that, but the snooper's charter might be back.

The Telegraph are also mooting about scrapping the NHS as we know it.

We warned of what the Tories might do, but sadly those warnings weren't heeded. We have 5 years to document every failing, every morally objectionable action that this government takes. These are the things should be written on a stone tablet (incidentally, I think Ed's stone was actually just so Dave couldn't stick it in his pocket and wave it about every now and then), then tied to Cameron, IDS, Osborne and May before being hurled off Westminster bridge in 2010.

I know, Deano, that you thrive on insults being hurled your way by your trolling. I shan't give you that satisfaction. Peace be with you.

I had written a very angry response to this, which was great fun, but then I realised that those of you responding to Deano's (quite valid) points with ad hominem attacks followed by lots of self-congratulation, are just not worth the energy I was wasting on you.

In brief: do try to do something for me: just try considering, if only for a moment, the possibility that actually the pitiful, out-of-contact, evil-minded bastards are not Tories and their supporters; they are you. Even if it isn't true, it' a bit arrogant to not at least consider the possibility, isn't it?

Folks, if you wanted proof that all he wants is an angry reaction, this is it. He came to Hell, of all boards, and is now commenting on the Hellish reactions.

I'm actually considering closing the thread, on the grounds that the original post wasn't actually in the spirit of Hell. It wasn't a rant, it was a goad. I shall consult with my colleagues on the question.

There is Facebook troll at the church I attend. He completely fails to realise or take responsibility for the fact that the people he slags of on Facebook are the same ones he calls friends in real life.

Despite being challenged on this and the hurt he causes on numerous occasions by numerous people, he continues.

I don't like him very much. And I have pretty much given up on him. Occasionally he shows a glimmer of hope, but not often.

When I first joined the ship, I was often sarcastic and joined in with the hell culture at that time. It took time for me to realise that there are real honest to God people out there. And modify my posting.

Deano, remember you are talking to real people.

I think one of the facets of "One Nation" Conservatism may be in play here.

"We need to have you losers around so we can continue to enjoy pissing all over you and laugh with our friends about your feeble protests."

Plus this one of course.

"Such fun, pissing all over Clegg and co, after they'd been soooooo helpful. I tell you, there's one born every minute. Let's see if we can do a bit of condescending thankfulness and keep a straight face for long enough to preserve some semblance of credibility."

I just use a different skewer, Albertus.

The provocative prefer direct insults of course; it shows them they've achieved their annoying purposes. Which is more or less what RuthW was saying.

Of course, had the result been the opposite of what it was, none of you would have gloated or goaded me would you?

No. No siree. Not at all. It would have been empathetic, fair, unbiased and non-judgemental, because you all are, right?

I was only half right when I said 'losers'. I should have added the word 'bad' before it to be fully correct.

From some of the comments on here about peoples reactions to my parties stunning victory I'm put in mind of a Viz character called Suicidal Syd, who was always trying to "pop his cork" over the most trivial things.

Grammar Nazi's as well! Blimey, that really is the ultimate sign of frustration and impotence.

I'm just glad my taxes are unlikely to go up. That thought was probably responsible for the very cheerful mood at the golf club this morning.

A lot of us who've been on the Ship a damn sight longer than you saw two Labour victories in General Elections and no, we didn't gloat or goad anyone.

Why assume that anyone would have said anything to you at all? I think it highly likely that no-one here would have given you enough thought to gloat at you, and would you have even been here?

You didn't pick up this particular angle of my first response on this thread, but part of the point of it was to communicate that you don't actually matter nearly as much as you seem to think you do.

There are Shipmates who go missing and whose absence I would notice. You are assuredly not one of them. Your contributions to the Ship are of little value, and are primarily directed at getting a rise out of people - people whom you constantly caricature as some monolith bloc of socialists. We actually manage to have forms of political debate on the Ship without your presence, you know. Our beliefs are not uniform. We've even managed to have some Conservative voters present who, unlike you, have not come across as drunken arseholes.

You have in the past started a number of threads that have been deemed worthy of closure. The future of this one is still under consideration, but you should be aware that its nature as a goad has not gone unnoticed. Have a care, deano.

Technology has brought us all closer together. Turns out a lot of the people you meet as a result are complete idiots.

Since none of us are bottom feeding slime like you, don't expect us to behave in the puerile and juvenile way you do.

That should improve matters if the Prime Minister decides to call an early general election due to the small majority.


So, you expect 2/3 of the house to vote for an early election, as required under the Fixed Term Parliament Act?

Oh Deano. Why did you forsake us during these last weeks? Where were you when you were most needed? Why did you leave so many shipmates in the dark on the saving ways of Conservatism? You might have convinced many of them to vote otherwise, and now they are smarting from the pain of choosing wrongly and standing on the wrong side of history. How unbearable it must be for you to come back and haunt their consciences with how things might have been and how they might now have been able to feel and present themselves had they followed your example.

Welcome back Deano.

You haven't got it quite right - the SNP is far to the left of the Labour party; but the SNP gains from Labour were predictable, although I'm slightly surprised they did so well against the LibDems as well.

The LibDem losses in the rest of the country could also have been predicted if people had actually bothered to find out who voted for them in 2010: but I guess they didn't so hence the surprise at only the 8 seats.

The few Labour gains were fairly predictable, but their losses should cause some soul-searching because unless they learn the lesson of why they lost in places like Bolton West and Gower they're likely to make the same mistakes and suffer the same fate in 2010.

So, after DC goes we can expect at least five years of Boris [Yipee]
