lol at the Theresa May and Unionist Party winning this West Midlands mayoral bollocks. Not just because it's the West Midlands, but Sion Simon is one of the biggest wankers in England.
EDIT: And the Tees Valley as well. Harold Macmillan is back baby.
Jezza was just on the news putting his faith in people who never voted in local elections, and the 'very large number' of people who still need to register. Brilliant mate.
Rangers fans, eh.Quote:

Lol, the Lib Dem cow from hell nearly lost to Labour. Our area voted Remain as well. Lib Dem fightback seems to have work to do.Quote:

What is the point?
Sounds good, innit.Quote:

I think Paul Nuttall is legitimately a worse politician than Jeremy Corbyn, which I didn't think possible. UKIP will be back to their old 3% levels and almost every one of those votes will go Tory.
He strikes me as being a bit thick. I suppose he was always over-promoted on account of not looking/sounding like the 'typical' UKIPer (that is to say a Nigel Farage clone), but now it has got out of hand.
If there's anything guaranteed to cause a massive Tory landslide, that is it.Quote:
Green Party co-leader Caroline Lucas says she's detecting "enormous enthusiasm" for the idea of "progressive" anti-Tory alliances among grassroots activists and the public at large.
They see it as “grown up politics", she says, and a recognition "that if we want to avoid a massive Tory landslide we can do that, but we need to act now, not wait until June 9th to wish we had done things differently".
The Labour and Lib Dem leaderships, however, have been “less forthcoming” about the idea, which Ms Lucas calls “desperately disappointing”.
Ah, now Labour want to ban 'junk food' advertising.
It's all getting a bit Goodbye Lenin.
There would be a good case for Ed Miliband's Labour and the Liberal Democrats teaming up under current circumstances, but why would you need to involve the Greens? Their best performances are in rock solid Labour seats (and you would have to assume that that is only enabled by people knowing Labour will piss it), so lol at the thought of Labour giving them a free run in somewhere like Western Somalia, and they would have nothing to offer in their third place cathedral city wanker seats if the resident smug tossers had better options TO STOP BREXIT.Quote:

Ah we're bringing back fox hunting. Christ. These people are absolutely useless.
You realise it never went away right?
It was only 'banned' in the first place to appease Tony's left in about 2001.
As for this attempt to unseat Jeremy Hunt in South West Surrey, I'm not sure if they realise quite what sort of electorate they're dealing with here. Everyone in Godalming probably has their own private hospital wing stuck to their house, let alone BUPA.
Wouldn't say that's true of a large amount of the people I went to school with there. The only people there who outposhed me lived next to Charterhouse.
Farncombe crew represent.
I forgot Farncombe, what a shithole.

More chance of Halley's Comet hitting the count than Hunt losing.
Your face is a shithole.
And capping energy prices. How Marxist.
Are they really wanting to bring back fox hunting or theonion?
Labour are fielding a 20yo Sussex student in Brighton Pavillion to go up against the Greens. Probably won't vote tbh.

Did Austen Chamberlain used to do this stuff and have someone draw it?
Say what you like about him, the guys an absolute legend when it comes to street campaigning.
The LEAKED Labour manifesto is a bit lame. Why not go all out you fanny?
'Union leaders' don't exactly sound like they're driving a hard bargain.Quote:
They added that union leaders have been bought off with special pledges including promises to look again at pensions, scrap driver-only trains and offer an inquiry into the battle of Orgreave during the 1984 miner's strike.
If there's anything unions like to avoid it's unnecessary effort.
It's fucking great.
On a SERIOUS note, wouldn't taxing the sort-of-wealthy more accelerate the hollowing out of London, thereby creating a Conservative ring of steel around it forever and ever?
There's already a Conservative ring of steel around it forever and ever. He'll just lose more soft left ponces to the Lib Dems this way.
The 'sort of wealthy'?
The people earning over eighty grand (or whatever it is) but aren't quite in the top bracket, which probably makes up half of the Labour vote in some of those inner London wanker seats.
Ah yes, the top 5%.
There would be a famine anyway, so it doesn't really matter, but it seems a bit dense and lazy from their perspective.
We really should be running as political candidates up and down the country. We'd get at least a UKIP size share of the vote.
Leicester East
Keith Vaz (Labour) 28,421
Bob Wank (Conservative) 11,321
Lee Pervert (TTH) 4,210
Steve Cunt (Lib Dem) 824
Chinny Hill (UKIP) 9
We could build a voter base for sure. Might get a couple of newbies on the board too.
Just dawned on me that I don't live in Vazeline's constituency anymore :(
Pity, it's a real hot point.
It's pronounced Pur-vay.
I reckon I'd do alright in Brighton Pavillion unless somebody managed to dig up some slightly racist social media posts, then I'd need to start looking to run in Kent or Essex.
The Lib Dems are legalising weed. Bit of a core vote strategy, that. Will alienate A LOT of people.
Is it really that big a deal? If America are doing it, its surely only a matter of time for the UK?
It'll do the opposite tbh. It's them trying to grab the student vote like they did with tuition fees and look how that went.
I don't really know, I just think it's crap politics at this juncture. Not that following American policies is really a route to a pure and just society.
No, but once Americans are smoking weed in every film and TV show I think old people will be a bit more open to it. I'm pretty sure that's been a Lib Dem policy for a while anyway.
