General Election - 4th July 2024

[i kne albert davy]

Funny one from earlier - a lass I know from my local Lidl lived with her mum and dad then she and her partner bought the house next door. She told me she went in to vote not knowing the system ( I know ) so produced her driving license. She hasn't changed it so the address in number 12 when she lives at number 14 and told them that was her address when asked. They concentrated so hard on the picture and her face they didn't seem to get the address discrepancy and she voted.

edit update - is that voter fraud?

No only the fact these fuckin Yanks getting a vote with their licenses needs to be looked into.

Watching BBC because we don’t have C4 here, and one of my favourite moments thus far was Steve Baker, participating in the opening panel as the exit polls were presented, having to watch the analyst, in front of a giant screen showing the chance of winning for various candidates, being shown (and told directly), live on air, that BBC gives him <1% of holding on to his seat.

I smiled at that as well. :-)

The far right hasn't risen. All that has happened is 3-5 million people have voted for Reform instead of Tory.

We unfortunately have an extremely divided country.

They’ve got a foothold and can influence the Tories. The world is a rough place at the moment and the right always rises when people are skint and desperate. Trump is coming too. It’s already happened there. I’m worried this is the thin end of the wedge.

That was a great piece of direction, even if he's only gone in because he knew he was losing. Wasn't his majority a few hundred at most?

Finchley predicted to go LibDem, what an odd world.

You and I disagree on a lot when it comes to football, but we seem to agree on quite a lot politically.

True, and I'd question the judgement of anyone who doesn't see them as far-right.

What did Campbell just say that triggered mad nads?

Corrected her grammar which was top shithousery

Karma is a fucking woman. It's been coming.

Suck it up.

She's such a twat, already played the sexist card.

What about?
I flicked over to see her immediately trying to claim it wasn't Blair levels and got laughed at by Harman and KGM.
