People are susceptible to influence and the media has been heavily Tory-biased, there's really no question about that. I don't know if the result would have been much different but to say that the press doesn't play a roll in politics is just... Not correct.

Do you really believe that?

And I'm sorry but the general public seeing Sky News, reading The Daily Mail, The Sun, The Telegraph etc constantly bashing one candidate while worshipping the other is always gonna end in one result.

Same way these media outlets aren't even reporting the protests/riots which makes it much more clearer to me that they are "pro-tory" and have been pro-tory for the duriation of this election and campaign.
If anything, people watching this on TV would surely think that the rioters were in the wrong? If things get bad enough, it will be on TV. I don't see how this is in favor of the Tories. It just makes people who aren't Tory look bad.

Disagree. Your telling me reporting that the muppets are coming out with a new movie is much more important that the coverage of this?

Disgusting thugs.
To think that people fought and died for the scum that deface war memorials.

The Scottish sun ran a huge front page supporting the SNP after months of being openly pro Tory, quite obviously designed to do nothing more than ensure that labours chances were further eroded. I don't believe fir one second that it was genuinely pro SNP. Which is frankly, underhanded and disgusting.

In my opinion it turned out to be an own goal though, because they would have taken a majority anyway and will actually face more problems with SNP on 56 seats than they would have with labour taking say 10 of those.

People might not understand why i'm so angry at torys being in power.
But being a student in this generation is already so tough. But now to add a rise to an already raised student fees is just disgusting and selfish in my opinion.

also NHS aswell. I'm still yet to meet a person who has actually given me a great reason for voting conservatives. Please I would love to hear.

There's absolutely no point in going out and starting riots over the result, the Tories are hardly going to give up their majority now.

I do work, my wages are above average and I have funds for healthcare in the event of anything serious, not that it is any of your business. If you don't like that I voted Tories well that's just tough luck, I had my reasons to vote for them.

But Tories winning does not excuse the fact some tossers have defaced a WW2 memorial because they didn't get their own way. It says a lot more about them then anyone else.

That is still no reason to deface a WW2 memorial. Is it? Am I missing something?

Vandalising a statue commemorating women in WW2. What a wonderful way to show your displeasure at the election results and get people onside.
