General Election 2024

If Corbyn dosen't get back in he'd make a Great Cult Comune Leader.

I do wonder if it needs a bit of calibration work, because i'm not really that radical. Or is that what they all say? Fuck.

If you ask me, the actual centre (as in, what it should be) is -10,0 - the only argument should be about how authoritarian or libertarian we want society to be.

IMO the reason there's even an argument about right vs left economics is that we've inherited the world from a brutal hierarchy of domination, and that whole spectrum is just varying degrees of how much people have shaken off that normalisation of bootlicking.

Not sure about this 50 Shades sequel, TBH.

The void of nothingness where his brain lived is a nice touch

I guess I’m liberal as long as I agree with it…

party’s Director of Campaigns.

It's the tories' last chance to chisel money out of the system.

Her in the middle:

Well Well Well

Given the surprise the date of the election caused to most ministers and Tory backbenchers, it’ll be easy to deduce who actually knew as they’ll all be arrested for gambling fraud.

I'm shocked, shocked to discover there's gambling on these premises.

I’m not that up on gambling, but what are the expected wins on these bets?
£1000 or 10x that?

It just seems so stupid to me, so I’d expect it to be for top dollars.

The guy who put £100 on stood to gain £500. So, they don't seem to be good at risk/reward assessments.

This type of betting is a very small market, and they tend to have a limit on the stake. £100 was likely the most they would take.

It just seems so stupid to me

Welcome to the Conservatives

The whole thing smacks of a few of them getting drunk at the bar a few days before the announcement and one of them 'having a fun idea'

I imagine with some it'll be the thrill of having secret inside knowledge and then affirming it by playing "I know something you don't" with the bookies and the guaranteed money was just a bonus.

Challenging wank.

Can you still walk in a boookies and put cash down and collect winnings with no ID etc required and if so how thick are these guys using traceable payments?

You think any of these pricks live in a neighbourhood with a ladbrokes on the corner?

Looks like a banging techno compilation

The mind boggling one is the Met Police officer in Rishi's personal security team who's been arrested for the same thing.
