Just like Ruth did in 2014. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-29569585 Really? The article you've quoted expressly states she wasn't guilty of any wrong doing, and the article doesn't say anywhere that the sample votes were thrown in the bin. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Malky, Where specifically in the article does it state "She wasn't guilty of any wrong doing"? Thanks. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Captured and reported to the Electoral Commission. Stealing someone elses vote is electoral fraud. Hiya Lee Wallace, hiya pal! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 A few of the guys in my WhatsApp betting group have stuck a few quid on Labour in Kirkcaldey and Cowdenbeath following this scandal. Be interesting how it turns out. Most betting companies have pulled the market for the consitutency now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to think that the way to go is to follow the example of Trump, Morrison in Oz and Bolsonaro and be abrasive as possible. I'm slightly optimistic that it will be looked upon as an almighty f**k up after the election. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's hope no deaths. btw the 2017 Borough Market attack politically damaged Theresa May because people quite reasonably pointed out that the reduction in police numbers was surely no help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not suggesting a conspiracy in the slightest, but you can be certain there will be many trying to gain political capital from it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passers by grab the guy and seem to have him under control, cops take over and shoot him. Only excuse could be if they spotted a suicide belt.

Either that or he was trying to swipe at the police with the weapon he had, but you'd think they'd be able to restrain him and get it off him without too much hassle; like you say if he said he had a bomb on him or something they're quite right to shoot. ETA: Spotted the member of the public who got the knife off him backing well away from the whole thing, so either he had ANOTHER weapon, or a suicide vest on. Say what you want about the Met but they don't go about shooting people without reasonable cause (in the vast majority of cases, before anyone points me to a select few that garnered a lot of media attention) Edited November 29, 2019 by SweeperDee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Stabby man's dead. A witness talking to the BBC: Quote I was on the bus coming southbound over London Bridge. We had just pulled away from the bus stop when the bus came to a sudden stop, because there were people running across the bridge into the road, sort of looking over their shoulders and filming behind them. It looked like there was a fight going on ... people tussling with each other. And then you realise it was police wrestling with one tall bearded man. I had my baby with me, so I moved her behind the stairwell to be safe. Then there was two shots or two loud pops, I think they were gunshots. And I also saw a spent Taser. And then the guy was lying on the floor. He then pulled his coat back, which showed that he had some sort of vest underneath – [I don’t know] whether it was a stab vest or some sort of explosive vest. The police then really quickly moved backwards. On the bus we were panicking because at this point we were almost as close as the police to him. And he was sort of lying there pulling his coat backwards and the police were shouting at him and staying back from him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
