Wow, Derbyshire Dales narrowly changed to Labour. My last vote in that constituency helped!

Post by **Pual** » Fri Jul 05, 2024 7:55 am

As I predicted, Suella got 30% and Labour, Lib Dem’s and reform all got 20% here

Post by **Pual** » Fri Jul 05, 2024 7:57 am

Still at least Count Binface might be standing here soon.

I very very vaguely know the new Penistone MP - she was (I think) an undergrad at college when I was doing my master's. She was an Oxford city councillor for a while, and I think she stood for my constituency once (but my constituency is a Con / Lib split with no hope for other parties at present).

Reform UK under pressure to prove all its candidates were real people

If I'd have known that some their candidates were puppets and claymation figures, I'd have definitely voted for them.

"Jacob Rees-Mogg and family to star in fly-on-the-wall documentary"

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/ar ... ocumentary

Best television show ever.

Post by **dng** » Fri Jul 12, 2024 8:44 pm

i hope its the least popular show ever and everyone involved in commissioning it never gets a job ever again

Post by **blombluss** » Sat Jul 13, 2024 1:11 pm

To tie in with his Victorian-era delusions, the documentary should actually be a Pollock's toy theatre performance in front of no more than 20 wealthy industrialists, high ranking members of the Church, and aristocrats.

releasing a trailer for a new captain america film on friday where someone tries to assassinate evil old harrison ford while he runs for president is pretty good timing anyway

Convince me it wasn't staged

that's the only way he could have got that close

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Jul 15, 2024 1:52 pm

I dunno whether it was staged or not, but with an incident like this, nothing would surprise me.

you can't even speculate that it might have been staged, or bbc fact-checking will smash your house down and hang you from a lamp post

Let us remember that a tasteless gag is much worse than attempting to overthrow the result of a legitimate election.

I suppose Kamala Harris for Biden is a good thing? (I know nowt about her)

Post by **endar** » Mon Jul 22, 2024 5:29 pm

she has the added benefit of not being Hilary Clinton so maybe

Post by **blombluss** » Tue Jul 23, 2024 3:09 pm

(Guardian)
"Harris enters the fray with numbers similar to President Biden', new poll finds"
-----
Now this is the bit that floors me:
-----
"Perhaps the poll’s biggest finding is that independents prefer Trump overall. He has 55% support from the critical group, compared to 41% for Harris."
-----
Who are these independents, then? The Waffen-SS?!?

Tory leadership candidate Robert Jenrick is a man of Wolverhampton.

Just imagine if he became PM, and made Steve Bull Foreign Secretary.

Post by **dng** » Wed Aug 07, 2024 2:37 pm

He'd have Steve Bull executed for not being right wing enough

"Surprising asteroid sample reveals Bennu may have originated from an ocean world"

https://edition.cnn.com/2024/06/27/scie ... index.html

"It’s possible that the asteroid may have broken away from a tiny, primitive ocean world that no longer exists in our solar system, the researchers said."

And it will destroy us all in 2182. Maybe. Hurrah!

Post by **Pual** » Mon Aug 26, 2024 1:00 pm

Bennu. What a name for a planet destroying asteroid.

Post by **blombluss** » Mon Aug 26, 2024 2:55 pm

An asteroid who appeared as a long running and well loved behatted 'handyman' character in the soap opera Crossroads.

Post by **Pual** » Mon Aug 26, 2024 4:29 pm

also: Bennu Hill, an asteroid being chased by a horde of angry meteors.
