@QuentinMann I have been so busy with reading, posting and investigating projects here in the Fedi that my news reading has fallen drastically.

The UK election is very important, it was dismaying that they went into it coerced by the PM who had a big lead on polls and wanted a crushing majority to rule unimpeded (same crap happens here in Canada, Proportional Representation is sorely needed to avoid PM dictatorships'').

I saw you mentioning and quoting a statement by the american Sec of State, which I found rather offensive -- on the open saying they would do all they could to change an election result?

These men have no shame.
