a reply to: AdultMaleHumanUK

Ha! Never thought of that link..... nice!
Well, we all know about Starmer's background when he headed up the CPS.... mentioning no names as it would turn my stomach!

I think Sunak called the election for the standard reasons. 1. the longer he left it the deeper in the #e they'd be and they would be worse of than even now. He knows what's coming. 2. standard reason, leave as much crap for the incoming government so they can crow about their incompetence, not withstanding they cause the crap.
I think another reason is that Sunak has had his little game of being the boss running the country and it's showed that he's totally incompetent, so I think he'll cash in and disappear with his ill gotten gains that he spread to his wife, father in law and mates.

I think you're right.

There's a veritable # storm coming.

COVID still to pay for.
Post Office disgrace to pay for.
Pensions payout.
NHS at breaking point.
Prisons full to bursting point.
The disastrous consequences of the continued open door immigration policy.
Infrastructure falling apart.
Low wage economy.
Ukraine and Russia.
The ongoing situation in The Middle East.
Blah Blah Blah.

Who's going to have to pay for all that and deal with the fall out as events come to a crisis point?
The new government of course.

Five years of Labour.
MSM spends 5 years screaming Labour incompetence allied to the notorious short memory span of the UK electorate and we'll then see another extended period of Tory rule.
Predictable.

Not that I'm a great fan of Labour I hasten to add.

You could also add to that he allegedly told the head of our armed forces he didn't "want to be a war-time PM".
I have that on the back burner atm given the immigration issue EU wide.
That's me when I don my tin foil hat..... it's exactly what WEF want to 're-set'.

Yeah, saw that on a Bridgen interview. Man has integrity and not afraid to speak truth to power, even when all around ridicule him.

Watching the last of the leaders debate.
All I've heard from Starmer so far is him repeating as from a script everything we've heard from him for past 5 weeks.... it's seriously almost verbatim.
So far Sunak is more animated but is also throwing questions back at Starmer as he's waffling about immigration just now and not straight answering the question from the audience.
Going with audience response, they are clapping more for Sunak..... mainly because Starmer is waffling.

Made me laugh:

The election itself is a bit of a joke but we fail to take it seriously at our peril.

There's a bit of a mystery surrounding Farage's Labour opponent in Clacton , reports from both the Telegraph and the Observer , papers on either ends of the political spectrum , say Labours Candidate , Mr Jovan Owusu-Nepaul , has been sent to campaign somewhere in the Midlands quoting a former Labour CLP member as saying....

“I’m a lifelong Labour supporter and will continue to be, even though I’ve quit my place on the CLP. But if they can’t put a fight up against Nigel Farage, then who are they fighting for?”

It seems Labour have given up fighting in Clacton because they believe Farage is going to win the seat ,it probably didn't help his cause when it was discovered Mr Mr Owusu-Nepaul responded to a question on twitter saying his favourite drink was "White men's tears" in 2019.

x.com...

Mr Owusu-Nepaul's election agent had this to say in a letter to Labour's Head Office.

In a letter to David Evans, Labour’s general secretary, Martin Suker, Mr Owusu-Nepaul’s election agent, wrote: “Reform UK stands for everything we the Labour party stand against, and I’m struggling to come to terms that it appears the party doesn’t even want to be seen to be putting up a fight.

“Jovan was told [by an official] to never come back to Clacton, and was instructed to move to the West Midlands region.

“I’m concerned there will be follow-on questions – members, supporters and, more worryingly, donors will be both angry and upset that it appears like the party that they have a great hope in isn’t doing anything to show a battle front to what many see as a catastrophe, not only for Clacton but for the parliamentary system entirely.”

Obviously you can't be racist against White people , because they're White and privileged.

Vote Reform or risk become a second class citizen in your own Country.

Support for Reform has dropped 3%, in the last few days, due to Farage's idiotic comments on Ukraine.

Beware who you vote for.

What concerns me is Labour are just gonna move him to a browner area.

I dont think its right that someone so openly racist towards the majority of the country should be allowed to be an MP at all.

Guess that depends on the poll , a poll of 10,000 voters from 2 days ago shows no change with Reform still ahead of the Tories by 1 point.

Why , because he speaks his mind ?

I know who I'm voting for and why I'm voting for him , that doesn't mean I agree with everything he says but I support his right to say it ... remember Free Speech ?

Police Visit Man For Supporting Nigel Farage.

A Welsh man was visited by the police yesterday for putting up a Vote Reform placard , the reason given for the visit was it might upset migrants moving to the area.


Video in the link.

According to Voice of Wales, the complaint was made by the charity which who owns the house next door, which is set to be turned into accommodation for asylum seekers (economic migrants).

Every time Sunak says anything about immigration it hurts his pitiful excuse of a campaign.

Like the results of Tory immigration policy are plain to see everywhere in England. Who does he think he is fooling?

Hoping for 0 Tory seats come 5th July.

So a reform bloke called Rishi the P word and now racism is a thing in this election.

Funny how racism wasnt a thing when the Labour candidate was talking about white mens tears.

Guess it just goes to show you, if you are white you are an idiot voting for anyone who isnt described as white supremacist.

At least we have better choices than the Yanks. Marginally.

Omg lucky you!!!
My MP choices next week are crap, and I'm struggling between national party policies, best human for my constituency, and which votes are pointless...Raving loony/Greens/etc!

a reply to: AdultMaleHumanUK

Gonna hold my nose and vote Reform.

Count Binface isn't standing here, mores the pity.

I only watched the highlights of the US "debate".

My God, I can't stand Trump but if Biden was my cat, sadly, it would be a one way trip to the vet.

Mind you, my late cat Jones went a bit senile. Took him to the vet and she gave him Metacam and he was right as rain.

Lived to over 20. Bless him.

a reply to: AdultMaleHumanUK

You could always scrawl a crude cartoon willy and balls on your ballot paper? Mind you, that may be taken as a vote for the Tory candidate....

OMFG yes!!!

I'm holding my nose as well, probably have to be Reform for me...just grateful that all candidates seem to still have cognitive skills, and don't appear like sleepy Joe!

...creepy Joe more like, I've never forgotten the disturbing films of him sniffing young girls inappropriately, years ago, before his presidency. He's a dirty old sinister creepy bloke in my mind since then, and I'm genuinely shocked that ANYONE sane voted for him, if they saw child sniffer Joe in action!!!

*Edit
Perhaps we are better off with our parliamentary/monarch system compared to the US choices!
