#1 It ain't over til Labor litigates the vote

#2 No litigation. It's not even close. A complete rout.
The only q is how long before Corbyn is pushed out.

Btw this feels like a nice harbinger for 2020. Apparently the Tories surged in the decaying industrial heartland.

I expect the same type of surge in WI MI and PA in 2020-- especially because of the strong economy. Like 1984 again.

#3 "Alas, I am not meant to marry
But to go it alone," mourned old Barry;
"A brogue for a brogan,
All thanks to Bo Grogan,
That tow-headed son of a Tory!"

#5 IF BJ hangs in there, Britain may yet prosper. Scotland seems to want to leave, why not let them, and they can shift for themselves. Same for any other parasites.

#7 GROGAN: In heaven's name, what does all the row mean?

BARRY's COUSIN: The fact is, sir, the young monkey's in love with Nora. He found her and the Captain in the garden today. Now he's for murdering Jack Quinn!

QUINN (indignant): Mr. Brady, I've been insulted grossly in this house. I'm not satisfied with these ways of going on. I'm an Englishman! And a man of property! And this impudent young swine should be horsewhipped!

BARRY (to Quinn): Mr. Quinn can have satisfaction any time he pleases..by calling on Redmond Barry, Esquire of Barryville.

GROGAN (to Quinn): I'll see the boy home.

GROGAN (to Barry): A pretty day's work, Master Redmond. Knowing your uncle is distressed for money--trying to break off a match which will bring £500 a year into the family....Quinn has promised to pay off the £500 which is bothering your uncle. He takes a girl without a penny...a girl that's flinging herself at the head of every man in these parts. And missing them all! And you, who ought to be attached to your uncle as to your father....

BARRY: I am.

GROGAN: And this is the return you make for his kindness? Didn't he harbour you when your father died? Hasn't he given you and your mother a fine house, rent free?

BARRY: Mark this, and come what will of it: I will fight the man who pretends the hand of Nora Brady. I'll follow him if it's into the church and fight him there. I'll have his blood, or he'll have mine.

GROGAN: Faith, and I believe ye! I never saw a lad more game in me life. Give me a kiss, me boy. You're after me own soul. As long as I live, you shall never want a friend or a second!
