Just done that...

Voted Lib-Dem. Felt dirty doing it...not in a good way.

Had a chat to the bored looking staff and they said it had been very quiet, maybe not a good sign in a heavily remain voting constituency.

Here's what it says on the leaflet I got from Labour through the door today.

"Imagine waking up to find out Nigel Farage has won the European Election. Only a vote for Labour can beat the Brexit Party on Thursday 23 May".

You know what? I'd loved to have voted Labour and given that repulsive, venal chancer a bloody nose. But what would be the point when Labour are doing everything they can to facilitate brexit themselves? Hmmm let me see, do I want to be properly beaten up or just repeatedly kicked in the balls? Neither seems very appealing does it? Do I want to be stripped of my rights by a petty despot or by progressive socialists? What difference does it make? At least Farage is predictable in his monomaniacal aim, whereas you have Corbyn or that fool Barry Gardiner saying one thing then Starmer or Clive Lewis saying something the next.

Labour did this in Scotland years ago when Douglas Alexander ran the 2010 campaign, took the supposed core voters for granted, offered nothing positive and said if you don't vote for us the SNP will win.

Well guess what? The SNP did win, Labour were almost wiped out and in 2015 he lost his seat to 20 year old Mhairi Black.

And currently the polls for Labour in Scotland are looking worse now than they were then.

So I would suggest there are two lessons to be gained from this:

Never take what you imagine to be your core vote for granted.

And if you do and it goes horribly wrong don't expect those voters to come back anytime soon.

Have you seen any of the footage from last night's Panorama?

It made me want to hurt people.

I "covered" it last night.

They are building more such "facilities"whilst everybody agrees they shouldn't exist.(rather an obsession of mine)

Wellbeing should replace growth as 'main aim of UK spending'

Too many miss the point,it is the institutionalism itself which inevitably leads to such consequences,the excuse of bad workers,lack of oversight etc is diversionary.

Night night.

Did something stoopid.

Nothing to see here.

What voted Libdem?


JOKE (or is it?)

Seriously?

I'm a social democrat. A Blair refugee. Charlie Kennedy welcomed us with open arms. We were to the left of Labour until that cunt Clegg staged his Orange book coup and told us all to fuck off. "This is no place for Labour refugees" he told us so we've swarmed around aimless since.

We are the very people Labour needs and we are the very people Labour are currently pissing off.
