Can recommend the person who joined Mensa for a year and found it was full of basically Kippers and Trump fans who were all very keen on eugenics.

They won’t care. It’s a platform for advancing what they want. Galloway has been elected how many times now?

They had the same with me. Basically they only worked out I was bipolar because of the way I reacted to antidepressants without mood stabilisers. Also same regarding ASD, but working in software development means I’m in an environment that is quite used to people like me.

Also Green and a big fan of Corbyn, so confusing.

Also transparent and efficient processes. Low or no costs. Clear illustration of decisions and a fair appeals process with a realistic pathway to residence and citizenship . Humane and timely decision making. Basically, everything it isn’t.

Rising gold prices is having some effect on the South Asian equities markets. Otherwise, seems all quiet.

Absolutely none. Leaflet campaigns almost daily and repeated doorknocking for this.

I dislike his position on EU and immigration a lot, but I don’t think the EU would have any interest in letting us back in, even if we asked.

I know we'll be disappointed, but it reminds me of 1997. I was two when Thatcher was elected and hadn't know anything but Tory governments right up to three weeks before my 21st birthday. 1997 was also the first general election that I could vote in.

I loathe Galloway. An absolute poison in politics, and the hatred I've felt towards him for the past twenty years is not matched by another politician in the UK.

Genuinely pissed off at Labour for campaigning really hard in my constituency in the last week with a campaign solely against Lib Dems. They came third, but managed to take just enough seats away to ensure a Tory victory.

She completely lacks any sense of introspection. Always someone else’s fault. Good riddance.

Wine Society is something you should definitely join if you live in the U.K (know you don’t). Consistently rated the best wine seller. I like Bordeaux, especially Côte de Bordeaux and Côte de Castillon, where there’s some interesting stuff. I just wanted a dry red with structure, and it’s cheap.

Good luck there. Already halfway through a bottle of claret, which should be fun as I’ve been off the sauce for a month.

I find the Anjou stuff great, although there is some … variability there. In the U.K., but breaking my dry month for the occasion.

He also hired people who were terrible administrators and managers and encouraged a culture of bullying and antisemitism within the Labour Party. And he hired people who went to occupied Ukraine and posed with people fighting Ukrainians. And he was pro-Brexit.

Far right is really popular amongst teens in just about every country. Especially boys. They look to the internet to find out how to be popular to girls or what a man should be and they go down the whole Andrew Tate thing. Lots of Nazi stuff as well.

Oh yes, sorry! Representation of the People Act has lots of restrictions on advertising, voting, etc. Hence voting day is surprisingly muted until the polls close at 5PM ET, when it goes mad. It’s why the U.K. news sites end up covering dogs at polling stations.
