An interesting thing (well not really), is that many, many moons ago I learnt how to 'scan read'.

Basically, if you concentrate and read the first 3-4 words on the left and 3-4 words on the right (no political reference intended), in a long two or three paragraph monologue you will understand about 95% of it. Used it at Uni, and maybe I try it here without realising. Problem is, most posts are only 3-4 words :)

Hmm, I tend to read at the pace of real life action. Which means that when the author writes... and a fortnight later... I wait.

Scan that and you'll misconstrue everything. <laugh>

All this hiding in fridges by Johnson is preparation for the day the economy totally collapses because of his inept stupidity and the people finally see him for the fraud that he is and there is rioting on the street and people are baying for his blood. He is frightened by Andrew Neil now but he will be **** scared when the people are chasing him to hang him from the nearest lamppost. I already have a length of rope ready.
 
The informed seem to hate the tories,
the media seem to hate labour,
nobody loves the liberal,
and the others are at 7%.

So I make that a hung parliment, and a possible coalition between blue & yellow.

Anyone else want to hazard a guess?

Tory Majority of 35. It all unravels in 2020 as it becomes clear that Brexit is a big mistake. My money is also on riots.
