Salvo Montalbano Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Somehow Ben Houchen won in Tees Valley. Quite a few people seem to enjoy having an actual con man as their mayor. They're crazy down there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it won’t change anything. Most of us will still be calling him a useless fuckwit whilst the less well informed will definitely chuckle and say “Typical of good old BoJo”. 3 hours ago, Salvo Montalbano said: Somehow Ben Houchen won in Tees Valley.

Not sure how such open corruption can go uninvestigated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Lose massively in local elections to political parties that are by and large perceived as more progressive and argue that the response should be to become more right-wing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All parties heading for defeat start looking inwards, adopting policies that are most appealing to their own members and activists and giving themselves a sense of purity - "This is who we really are". That continues until they realise that it doesn't win elections and then they change tack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the average voter turnout percentage in the english council elections of 35% I would think that it is difficult to determine which votes are progressive or just protest. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many Tory MPs that don't understand money as they have so much they don't even think about it. I'd be happy to stop paying them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 "The disabled should be paid less than normies because they aren't worth as much as us" has been aired by Tory MPs before. Every now and then they forget which audience they're addressing and the mask slips; this is what the ECHR is stopping them from implementing, and they absolutely cannot wait to discriminate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ish. Sunak had risen from his bed to explain the latest government fuckup. The news that the payroll company contracted to the Ministry of Defence had had its systems hacked. Yet another cost saving gone wrong. Next time someone might remember to renew the licence on the Norton anti-virus. Let that sink in: the MoD can’t even defend its own personnel. Yet we trust it to defend the country." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
