So
Better late than never.
Going to be some interesting results tomorrow....
The political parties are there just to give you the illusion of choice. Two political parties or maybe three and yet there are 64 flavors of ice cream in the shop. That's all you need to know. The military industrial complex doesn't give a rat's ass who the president or prime minister is. Just keep selling the weapons and manufacturing the weapons and do nation building and regime change.

Hope Labour win with a massive landslide with Rishi, Boris and Rees-Mogg losing their seats. That would be funny.
ReesMogg one of biggest bell ends ever. True story
All over the western world the big issue driving politics for the forseeable now that inflation has subsided is immigration. It's making far right parties popular enough to be likely winning power in a lot of countries.
But with Trump about to win in America the rest of the west might be about to catch a break. If he wins he's the dog who caught the car. He's then stuck with actually trying to round up hundreds of thousands or millions of people and then kicking them out.
Back before Brexit all the far right parties were also going to leave if they got power. It was part of the platform of parties like AfD and Le Pen's party. But once they saw how Brexit actually worked out for Britain they reversed course and now all want to stay in the EU.
The same thing will happen with immigration if Trump actually tries to kick millions of workers out of the US. It'll be an absolute economic catastrophe and he'll reverse course. It'll be a graphic demonstration to western voters that the easy answers people like Farage and Le Pen are all full of shit.
Labour have a lot of economic problems. The biggest by far isn't even Brexit, it's the damage caused by all the austerity over the past decade and a bit. I don't envy them trying to sort the mess out but the one issue the right have to hammer them with* if Trump does what he says he's going to will turn from a big negative for Labour into if not a positive at least a neutral issue.
*Electorates have a collective memory slightly better than that of a goldfish. A year into Labour's term and immigration will be all their fault, the fact it increased hugely after Brexit under the Conservatives will all be forgotten and right wing politicians using it as an issue will have success.

Look at the C**TS.
Go out vote and give the bastards a beating they will never forget.
Now that inflation has subsided? Hahaha the rent is double where I live compared to 2020 and groceries are double compared to 2020. Inflation has not subsided and is running away out of control in the United States. You may try to spin it by saying that month over month the inflation rate has subsided, but the inflated prices remain and are still going up.Quote:

There was a spike in both from 2021 onwards but nowhere near double, groceryprices are up about twenty five percent and rents about thirty five. Normally rents go up five to eight percent a year anyway.
You're renting? You don't have any equity at all? No savings or investments? The next ten years are going to be an experience.
Do you think Donald Trump will manage to get prices reduced?
Every single time I hear UK politics it's one of the first to pop in my head ;D Some things just stick around. https://youtu.be/EOj_tnzxIsk
Farage almost 20% of total votes but very few seats, for Clacton. Massive win over the conservatives.
Penny, Shapps, Truss, May, Mogg, out Rishi resigns
Corbyn won as an independent and Gaza issue did hit Labour a bit but overall a great day!
I know nothing about UK politics, which is why I rarely/never post about it.
One thing seems certain, though. No matter how bad you guys may think it might be, all you have to do is look across the ocean and I'll bet that makes you feel a lot better.
Sunak resigning is goldšÆQuote:

Rishi had to pick up the mess and did not make good on his pledges.

Yeah, that all sounds pretty depressing.
So on a scale of 1 to 100...... 1 being "worse than Trump" and 100 being "utter child's play compared to Trump"....... where would you rank all of this?
Individually 80, after 14 years of non-growth and Brexit all combined 30.Quote:

*****AYOUB KHAN****ššš elected as an independent MP for the Birmingham Perry Barr constituency, with 35.5% of the vote, overturning the Labour incumbent Khalid Mahmood's 15,000 majority to win by 507 votes.
Shockat Adam ~KICKED~ Ashworth's ass!
Breaking news guys: US President Joe Biden has sent his warm congratulations to Rishi Sunak, on his appointment as the UK's new Prime Minister...
Watching former prime minister Lettuce Liz Truss lose her seat was the little gem of election night. She just couldn't Romaine any longer and it's a Webbs wonder she didn't lose her deposit. Cos she's useless. It was just the tip of the iceberg. ;D
"Hello, Police? Yes, this is Starmer, 10 Downing St. I'd like to report the theft of a Sky Dish and receiver please."
We've elected a new Prime Minister we know almost nothing about. For example, do we even know what his father did for a living?
Angela Rayner has already asked Starmer which house on Downing Street she can have so she can sub-let her current home.
And over in Scotland, Nicola Sturgeonās campervan now has more seats than the SNP.
... you'll be using them!
A very clear message has been delivered to Keir Starmer. He won on a wafer-thin vote. Kid starver needs to show that there has been a change in government, not like when he was in perfect lock step with Rishi sunak over Gaza. *UK needs to recognize a Palestinian State immediately, without Israel's permission* and Starmer needs to immediately reinstate funding for Unrwa. The UK and the US are in serious decline, the cat has been out of the bag for quite a while now and the whole world sees it. Kid starver needs to meet with members of the Muslim community and let's say break the habit of a lifetime.
Fucking clueless.Quote:

In fact it was a complete annihilation of the Conservative party with their worst result in their 190 year history.
Well, apart from it being a landslide win of historic proportions, no not quite exactly definitely a wafer thin vote by a strict interpretation of what those words may seem to maybe perhaps mean once in a while.Quote:

Recognising a new independent state somewhere is nothing to do with us, who do we think we are to do that?. UNWRA can also fuck off. Iād rather the money was spent on me (and only me, obviously, not anybody else) šš½
The Muslim community can fuck off too. As well as the Jewish community, the LBTQ community, the Judean People{s Front community, the Hard Working (insert phrase) community and everyone else. There shouldnāt be all these separate ācommunitiesā to sow division, we are one - well maybe 4 - countries.
Vote for me as your Overlord and all will be well.;D
Many records have tumbled and many āfirstsā have been achieved in this historic election.
Angela Rayner is now the Deputy Prime Minister ā¦.. I donāt recall ever having a Deputy PM who looks like they would suck you off behind a skip for a fiver.
Then why did your great government let them all in?Quote:

Well, thatās eight people who have lost their whip this week ā¦ā¦ seven Labour MPs and Charlotte Dujardin. ;D
Labour are going to have a Czar investigating the millions lost during Covid and get it back from the friends of the Tories.
