blair is only getting involved again because the US looks like it might invade Syria and he wants part of that. His lust for death in the middle east knows no bounds

learnincurve posted:My boomer dad still bangs on and on about how bananas were still rationed in the 1950s like it's justification for hanging on to his enormous 4 bedroom house where only three rooms get used, instead of moving to a smaller one and freeing it up for a family to buy. He also holds very strong opinions about imagrants coming over here and taking up all the houses that should be used for good honest Brits. have you considered patricide?

i'm going to have to phone the council to find out where to vote because apparently there isn't anywhere i can stick my postcode to find out

# ¿ May 4, 2017 08:37 |

They don't and I only registered to vote when the early election was called since I moved not that long ago so I'm not sure I got one. Or i threw it out because I get an obscene amount of poo poo through my letterbox from local takeaways

So despite having had quite a few leaflets for Councillors to vote for since I moved that arrived before the general election was called there are apparently no local elections for me to vote in today

I've received a letter from a debt collection agency about outstanding british gas payment. I paid british gas' final bill after changing suppliers am I going to get spammed by these people if i reply?

After phoning british gas it appears the person who I talked to to pay the final bill didn't tell me it had changed based on the meter readings my new supplier had given them

ukle posted:Currently Tories have gained 138 seats and the first Metro Mayor (Bristol etc), Labour has lost 121 and UKIP have lost every seat so far. LD's are also lost 20 odd seats. seems like the perfect time for a leadership challenge imo it would be nice if the press could start ignoring UKIP since they basically don't exist any more though

jabby posted:To be fair it's getting increasingly more difficult to argue for Labour in local government given that having a Labour council means you will be targeted for harsher budget cuts. The average voter doesn't know thats the case but they do know their council is completely poo poo and failing to do basic stuff. I still haven't received my bins from the council

Ewan posted:You missed one, possibly the most important. Their policies might be good, but it's no good if they're so incompetent they can't implement them without loving up. That is the perception most people have - and frankly you can't say it's not true because there is no evidence (equally you can't say it is true either). its really good they chose the extremely competent Owen Smith as the most recent corbyn challenger

LemonDrizzle posted:I think you are a bit confused about why he's likely to win. He's likely to win because he won the largest share of the vote in the first round, and because second round polls had him winning >60% of the vote against every possible challenger, including the left wing candidate Mélenchon. its cool how he's going to be able to do gently caress all when he wins
