General Election 2024

Our ballot papers had the Reform candidate at the top, and the Labour candidate at the bottom with “an address in Hounslow” (which is bound to upset the ham sandwiches who think that an MP should live in the constituency) but made the whole thing look doctored to favour refuck and the tories.
I don’t know. Perhaps it was simply alphabetical order.

In any case, I heard an old lady moaning she couldn’t vote due to not having photo ID and complaining that there were “even Indian and coloured people” in the queue.
Perhaps it’s for the best, we may have said.

If I had kids, I’d send them to private school.

If my dad's business hadn't collapsed I would have almost certainly gone to private school where my cuntishness would surely have been amplified to hideous levels (rather than being mostly suppressed to vaguely tolerable levels.)

Chose not to send own child to private school. Abramovic sent some of his children to the one at the end of the road. Plenty of good state schools round here and we don't have to work ourselves into the ground to keep it all going.

Interesting to see here in Teignmouth that those on one side of Exeter road (So called poorer) were up and voting given the biggish queue while the posher side of Exeter road had no queue.

Quite a bit of voter apathy if the local Facebook group is anything to go by, but hey living by the sea and having you Con minister vote to allow the water company's to dump sewage is fine, but then don't bleat on about it if you can't be bothered to vote.

Am considering the scholarship route.

I would still vote to abolish. Hate the game not the player.

fuck the Tories
fuck Labour
Voted Green
Glad Ed Davey had a nice time at least

Strange name for a dog but glad he had a nice time

Outstanding houndage!

😂

Steady stream but not busy in my part of Walthamstow just now. Nice to see a school sports hall still with the original mid century wall bars, beams and ropes.

No dogs or exit pollsters sadly.

The landlord of my favourite pub is on the ballot paper, as an independant, to promote the pub. If he gets any votes and the tories get in I'm never going to the pub again, so higher stakes than usual for me today

I'm out doing the last door knocking in Mid Derbys. Difficult to tell how it's going to go here

No, not me. I have no interest in keeping that bunch of mendacious, corrupt, incompetent shitbags in power.

possible 20% hike in school fees

That would mean 60 grand at the school I went to. The gap between haves and have nots is like the Grand fucking Canyon. Ads for £200k Range Rovers on the telly every 5 minutes. Some of the worst cancer survival rates in Europe. And malnourished stunted children. Why vote in a bunch of centrists? We're past all that. It's time to burn something.

Sorry £300k in fees?! For a term, a year, or a full primary and secondary schooling?

60 includes the 20% hike. 60 per annum for a boarder. There's a whole bunch of schools with similar fees. They were fined for having a cartel a few years back. Didn't change anything.

I live in Basildon, Essex.
All candidates live in the area, apart from the Cuntservative, who lives in Bishop Auckland.
I had to look it up, it's a 302mile bike ride there.
Shower of cunts.

The Tory candidate in Basildon and Billericay is Richard Holden, the Tory Party Chairman, who used his influence to force his selection as a stitch up, by being the only candidate, in a safe seat down south, after doing the chicken run from his seat in the north east.

Voting for Reform or Trump or Brexit is a protest vote. Two fingers to parliament. Destroy the machinery and start again. Easy to get the votes if a big chunk of the population feel ignored. It can be portrayed as democratic but it really isn't. People end up without effective representation.

To be honest, if someone only feels represented when a cunt like Farage pipes up, fuck em.

THIS I can get down with

Just drive past the polling station on the way home. Queue to vote is out the door and 100yds down the street. I've never seen it that busy at any previous votes.

My other half voted at lunch time and said it was just as busy then too

You'd think we'd have learned that saying "vote for someone better you despicable shitbag!" is not a great campaigning approach.
