You’re telling me that right wing voters that Labour was trying to appeal to voted for a right wing party anyway and left wing voters decided not to vote for Labour because they’re too right wing now? Who could have possibly predicted this.

Berliners! My film's STILL ON at the Tilsiter Lichtspiele, F'hain

Best to go on your own, channel your Travis Bickle and stare at the screen while everyone else is out distracting themselves from death on the cold, rainy streets of Friedrichshain.
