....more armchair politics (Part 2)

Might invite him round to my place and ask him to repeat that to Mrs M.
The outcome would not be pretty :facepunch:

So he actually thinks we should have stood by and watched our allies get swept aside by the German war machine, and done nothing whilst Nazi’s progressed their Final Solution plan to wipe Jews, gypsies and a host of other ā€˜unworthies’ from humanity?

That would have gone down well, especially with all the focus on D-Day and who is the bestest patriot etc. Then again UKIP/ Reform have always been just a clubhouse for complete fucking national traitors.

Not sure much analysis is required here. Judging by his photo, which I assume is posed and therefore his best effort at charm (Although his right ear disagrees and is seemingly trying to slide off & escape), Clearly the shared family brain cell is on loan elsewhere.

Taking a guess…he was probably bullied by girls at school when the lads spread the word he hadn’t quite got the knack of wiping his arse - The rest of his days were spent getting wedgies and being known as Skiddy Gribbin. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer runt. Go Nazi Ian!

I’ll bet you a pint that a different Reform candidate fulfils that criteria before July 4th.

What are you drinking? I’ll get it in now… :beers:

Has anyone heard from a candidate yet ? Only sign of an election round here is one lonely Libdem poster.

Yes, almost immediate leaflet from the incumbent labour MP.

TBH I’m not sure why she bothers, it’s a very safe labour seat.

Again only Labour bothered around here for the London mayoral and assembly elections.

I’ve had the Labour candidate in person and an unfortunate young lady out on behalf of the incumbent Conservative MP.

Had a leaflet from the Tory Pillock claiming that the government should get credit for rebuilding Myton School.

Yes, this Myton School.

Only a really early morning leaflet from an unknown Reform racist.

Just a Labour leaflet here so far. A few years ago I had sitting Tory MP Steve Baker on my doorstep - I guess he thought people who drove Bentleys would be Tory voters, LOL. :smile:

I asked difficult questions and he slunk off.

Is this some kind of fever dream?

I’d like to say nothing but, in these febrile times, who the fuck knows.

Maybe you should ask it … :grin:.

Tory leaflet which was subsequently stuffed into the squelchy recycling, and the aforementioned (scroll up) Lib Dem Freddie van Merlo.

Current predictions for percentages of the vote in our area are;
LD 50%
Cons 43%
Lab 7%

Tactical voting it is then :+1:

I notice that there’s been an upswing of these columns in the last few days from people absolutely convinced that some form of supercharged Thatcherism is the way forward for the future of the Conservative party. What sticks out in all of them is that they offer no solution at all for the party being wedded to a grey vote that needs absolutely all the state resources that would historically been nuked to allow for it. Equally apparent is there is no desire to actually build anything that might potentially attract people under the age of forty because that same core vote doesn’t want anything built anywhere ever.

I’ve been looking back at some of the commentariat stuff from the post '97 wilderness years for the Conservative party and I’m honestly not sure even that was as intellectually bankrupt as things are now. I was going to be staying up on July 4th anyway but I’m increasingly wondering if it’s going to be a real ā€˜were you there’ moment.

Its just the tired old fallacy that the Tory scum always reach for - ā€˜if its not going well, go further to the right, and if that doesn’t work go even further right’.
