Fucks sake. If you don’t like a movie don’t watch it. Listened to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s excellent Reith Lecture on Freedom of Speech yesterday and she was spot on. Art is about freedom and narrative voice needs to be allowed light and dark. Not every piece of art has to be some statement...

No? I’ve voted in internal elections loads without ID.

Eh?

But if you don’t like the incumbent why wouldn’t you vote against them? As I say all the evidence is non-voters would break like voters do. Id support more effort to increase turnout for its own sake, it should at least be a public holiday paid if you can prove you voted (whatever that looks...

I mean I would do some form of AV, but the argument is “more than half the electorate didn’t want you”.

I mean let’s be clear the Union rules are stupid for the exact same reason. The cry of the unelectable is always “oh but the non voters” when all evidence we have says non voters would vote the exact same as voters and aren’t some mystery group to imprint your own beliefs on.

All part of his cunning plan to own CCFC like literally everything else he does.

Have I missed some news? What’s happened?

I don’t think so. I think they’re done as most governments are after 12 years.

I think they know they’ll get battered whenever it is and are holding to extract as much cash as possible while hoping for a miracle.

Next GE has to be held by Jan 2025 so just over two years. But is scheduled for May 24 I think if not called earlier so 18 months away. I can’t see the Tories calling an early election, this is normal timescales really for deciding reelection.

Because you can’t.

Do boats dump their toilet waste in the water?

This but anywhere. Id make it a public order offence. Same as having your phone on speaker in any situation other than a group of more than 2 people gathered round it.

Why are UKIP still a thing? UK is I now surely?
