Pics going in the M.E.N. as usual?

Edit: had forgotten it was this Friday....

Good for... nothing!

Didn't want to suggest they're nasty Tory voters

No worries, I think that was me projecting my own suspicion that all Tory's are nasty people :)

Going to have to wait and see on movement, it feels like at some point something significant re employment will disrupt our inertia of not wanting to move!

Tory's are nasty people

voting for a party that want to ensure disabled people are made to suffer yet more indignities makes you pretty fucking nasty in my book. fuck em and all those who vote for them, any liberal hand wringing can do one.

I am not a fan of the Tory party and would never vote for them.

But you get the occasional not a total bell end Tory VS a second choice that's utterly useless. FPTP makes it pretty much a waste of a vote to vote for any other party... so in rare cases I can't really blame people.

Rare cases though ;)

For example, NI parties are different so I have an SDLP MP who in fairness always replies to queries etc. I think the SDLP sucks totally ass on abortion access for NI women, they want to keep it criminalised. Yet they are an anti-austerity party, they DID stand up for EU nationals (unlike any other party bar the Greens) so if we didn't have PR in NI, I could have to vote for them if it was a choice between them and the DUP (tory-lite bigots)

TL:DR if only voting was black/white all the time :P

TL:DR if only voting was black/white all the time

in this case, at this time, in this country, i think it absolutely is.

to quote iain banks, and i still reckon he's been too accommodating: “I’m not arguing there are no decent people in the Tory party but they're like sweetcorn in a turd; technically they kept their integrity but they're still embedded in shit”

Good line that.

I spent 5 hours in the house of a tory today. She had a placard in her garden and large signs in more than one window.

She was quite normal, but a bit more grey, judgemental and suspicious than average I got the sense. Common ground didn't extend beyond gardening. They're like regular people but just a bit more ... Conservative. ?

Loads of weird porcelain shit on their walls, on windowsills, in cabinets.

Her retired husband had been a builder (immigration innit). "Self made".

I could hardly breathe!

I do know some interesting tories actually but they're proper old-money and highly idiological / eccentric. They have good stories and fucked up opinions. The Cotwolds is their natural habitat.

Qriously have released their 11th hour poll. Supposedly pretty reliable model.

... they have been able to correctly predict the outcome of the Brexit referendum, the Italian constitutional referendum, the Dutch general election and the Turkish constitutional referendum.

Fingers crossed thier prediction is right

Election day is always interesting in so far as the fact that radio and television presenters can't talk about the election once polling has started.

That's just what i said in my house!

Polls open in fifteen minutes. Hold tight.

Go vote today if you can. But if you're voting Tory or UKIP, stay home.

Thank fuck it'll all be over soon.

Tory and ukip votes only count if you vote tmrw. Please spread that message.

Raining here. I guess resulting lower turnout won't help the cause for change.

Anyone who doesn't vote because it's raining deserves to have their house seized, their teachers sacked, and their children's lunches taken away.

^ agreed.

Some light on a dreary day:
