Theroadlesstravelled Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 As much as Starmer comes across as an insincere fanny, and sits on right of the left I believe there are still decent Labour people in the party who won't back him on his nonsense. That can't be said of the Tories. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People should not forget how they treated the population during COVID. Unforgivable. They didn't go far enough. You're still posting, for example. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex Machina Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Find it very bizarre you can stand in a constituency you don't live in. I live in South West England and the Labour and Reform candidates don't live in the area so cant even vote for themselves (although the Labour candidate has pledged to move if voted in - believe it when I see it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn’t seem that odd in the city. I reckon I know Edinburgh well enough that I or someone like me could serve the people any of it’s constituencies (even Leith) but in these big rural areas full of countless little settlements it seems a bigger ask. l 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Tennis Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 1 hour ago, 19QOS19 said: I won't. I fully expect I'll still be in a Tory cesspit after tonight's votes. Farming c***s. I suspect you're right. The thing that gets me with the 'farmers' line is that this part of the world is very far from affluent these days. I know that the Dumfries and Galloway constituency is not the same as the local government region, but of the 32 local authority areas in Scotland, D&G has the very lowest median wage of the lot - 32nd of 32. It's utterly inexplicable, as well as embarrassing, that we elect Tories so frequently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jul/04/general-election-2024-labour-keir-starmer "It started with dark comedy. The sight of Rishi Sunak, behind the podium at No 10, drenched by the rain – a drowned rat in a sharp suit, drowned out by a hostile loudspeaker, bellowing out the fact of his sudden-death election – belonged to vaudeville. The race itself belonged to Hobbes: “poor, nasty, brutish and short”. And at the end, after all the speeches, the televised debates, the photo ops, the accusations, the helicopter rides, the leaflet-filled vehicles crisscrossing the country, the vox pops, what did we learn about our country and our politics? We learned more about the foolish recklessness of those who have ruled us. Sunak called his election for himself and for his party and for his faction. There was nothing further from his mind, as he dripped rainwater, than the good of the nation or our democracy. He had no plan, other than to parrot the inanity that “the plan” was working. Tell that to the food bank volunteers or the coastguard at Dover." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee-Bey Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 As much as the thought of watching utter c***s like Hunt and Rees-Mogg get emptied live sounds good, I just don't think I'll bother staying up late to watch it. Exit poll then the first oddball north east lot that race to declare first then off to bed I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note, if anyone knows any YouTube channels that are doing live coverage (can't get the Beeb or iPlayer in the US) please fire them up - we're 6 hours behind and the thought of a fair number of those utter c***s making their concession speeches to lull me off to my pit is quite appealing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
