How very mature of you

Well my polling station flouted the law then.

The lady checked my driving licence and poll card and that was it.
No questions asked.

Yes, they have.

This fucking stinks to high heaven. I have never been asked before and was shocked to be asked today that is why i have been home and done the research.

The decision to discharge untested patients from hospitals to care homes without doubt caused the disease to spread in communities which were most at risk.

So the answer to your question is probably “not kill people”

I've posted on here about my daughter working at Southport hospital and was called a liar for the following

It was a shitshow of hospital procedures
Mixing covid + patients with clean patients on non covid wards
Elderly patients with covid ambling round from ward to ward and probably worse of all, staff not following any kind of procedure and walking from covid+ wards to clean without washing or changing clothing

At least you got the chance.

Getting back from Turkey around 3am. Might just stay up for an hour or two. That night in 1997 will take some beating but there's optimism for something even better tonight

What should he have done then?

You had the chance but acted like a prick by the sounds of it.

if either Farage Sunak or Starmer are in line for a victory when you land you better tell that pilot to turn the thing around

There has been a few pricks making snide comments on this thread but Rascal ain't one of them.

 

[Scottyboi]

Yes, they have.

I was asked Russ, thought it was weird considering I opened my wallet Infront of them and handed them my ID haha.

The phrase has been coined by the media and seized upon by all and sundry.
To say a lack of opposition is a good thing is ridiculous.

We need a strong opposition to keep the govt on their toes.
Had labour been weak the Tories would have done as they pleased for the last 5 years.
That's never good wherever your allegiances are.

If you look at the local council where I live the labour party have agreed to build on greenbelt.
No opposition so it goes through. Voters are very unhappy BUT won't change the way they vote because the thought of voting tory goes against their principles.

Building on greenbelt "goes through" because new houses have got to go somewhere. Tories represent homeowners who like a housing shortage pushing up the value of their home.

900 houses built on greenbelt where I live in Mid Cheshire
Planning was rejected by the local Labour town council, then also rejected by the Conservative County Council

As it was such a large project, it was then passed to Tory MP for Brentwood Essex, Eric Pickles, to make a decision on the builders appeal
Appeal approved, 900 houses built and no doubt a million quid donated to the Conservative party

A builder can appeal as many times as they wish, but once planning is approved, the approval cannot be appealed

What should he have done then?

be mature about it? how about writing "none of the above"

If everyone who was unhappy with our
voting system and/or being unrepresented by the people running for office,did the same,something might change.

The fact that you could be arsed to turn up and spoil your ballot paper should be applauded.

There should be a box at the bottom with “ none of the above twats” that you can put your cross in

Happy the Tories will be gone but feels like it’s a few years too late. The damage they’ve caused during the last 14 years is so deep that it will take a long time for a recovery. They’ve basically taken us from the Premier League to non-league.

This is what Labour are basically walking into:

If you look closely there’s a few zombies walking round going ‘I’m still voting conservative!’ & ‘Don’t vote Labour!’.

 

[MCFC1993]

Well I'm counting later, it would be nice to see a certain charlatan crying tonight.

 

[marco]

How very mature of you

;-)

 

[lust overlord]

It gets the same result - spoiled ballot paper.
Drawing a cock and balls gives judgemental bellends a chance to criticise though,so it's all good.

I went to vote, handed in my polling card and showed my driving licence, the woman says "whats your name" I say " its on the card right there" she says to me you have to say it out aloud,its some ancient law. my reply was "Bugs fucking bunny, stick it up your arse" and i walked out.

Got home, checked the legislation and read the Fat **** Eric fat **** Pickles report on electoral reform. Then read the Electoral commission handbook for polling stations and indeed since 2017 you have to state your name and address. How the fuck are you supposed to vote if you cannot speak, or are deaf and dumb etc, These people can no longer vote according to the law.

What a fucking piss take this shower has been.

Didn't ask me to do any of that, just told them my address showed my driving licence and put my cross on the voting form they handed me popped it in the ballot box. Quite straight forward really.
