I know people like our quirky tradition of monster raving loons and joke candidates but I think it's time to move on from that stuff now and grow up a bit. But enough of Jacob Rees-Mogg ....

Because of the bloke in the balaclava or because JRM lost? Or both maybe? 🤔

Absolutely right. Of course it does mean the racists and bigots get representation, but as long as the progressives don't stuff up they're of little consequence. Mind you I'd say reform of the HoL should be a higher priority.

Sorry Express, there's an old saying. 'First is first and second is nowhere.' Doesn't matter how many seats Farage came second in, there was someone who polled more votes than them.

Had a convo yesterday with a young woman (mid twenties) at a business partner about the forthcoming election. She told me she wasn't registered and didn't know what the issues were. 😱 How can anyone be that disengaged.

I agree to a point. But the stupid nostalgia for paper banknotes is holding the country back. Meanwhile, they're happy with crumbling schools and NHS; a hollowed out defence force, sewage in the rivers, high power costs, poor food quality, kids going hungry and the return of Victorian disease. 🤦‍♂️

Point taken, however... Maybe they'd be a little more open if the UK simply joined Schengen and Euro and supported the EU? Given the rightward shift in european politics right now, I've no doubt the EU would be delighted to have a left leaning UK government on board.

It's astonishing. The UK would probably get a 5% economic boost immediately, would help address migration and yet he's pandering to the 25% of the electorate who will never vote for him. 🤦‍♂️

I can't but help remembering when she had to declare bankruptcy due to tax evasion. She may have appeared reasonable but I suspect she has long since been anything but. 😬

Agreed. In 1991, during the First Gulf war, I ran foul of some US Servicemen who were driving on the wrong side of the road. Head on smash, maybe 70 mph closing speed to a dead stop in the length of the car bonnet. I walked away with cuts and bruises. Sometimes you get one chance. 😱

Thank you for raising awareness. 🙏 My teenage son suffers from tonic clonic seizures. At one point he had one every week almost like clockwork. Exhausting for him and all around him. Fortunately his new meds have reduced the occurrence to one seizure in the last three months. 🤞
