The tory lays on its back, its billions draining into the public purse, kicking its legs trying to leave the EU, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that? BECAUSE THEY'RE CUNTS, THAT'S WHY

Firstly because it's a great film, but secondly because of the scenes with Steve Coogan complaining about a wall collapsing into his mum's garden. Every MP from the lowliest backbencher to the PM themselves is expected to pay some level of attention to the small-scale issues going on in their constituency. Of course every MP has office staff and the more important you are in your party the bigger / better staff you get, but in theory the MP is in charge and should make time for residents' issues.

Where are you all going that you get people berating you for not wearing a poppy? I never wear one and see plenty of people not wearing one and I've never once felt like anyone has been hostile towards me. Is this a fashy small-town OAP gammon thing?

If this is in reference to my canvassing post from yesterday, it turned out that nobody gave a crap one way or another. I just didn't want to give any gammon on the doorstep any ammunition to use against the Labour party - no matter how minor.

No not at all, I've just noticed a bunch of jokes along the lines of 'WHERE'S YOUR POPPY???' which suggested that some people have actually been confronted for perceived lack of patriotism, which if it's happening on the street is very troubling indeed!

https://twitter.com/ElectionMapsUK/status/1192223010742325248 Good news for Labour if the Lib Dem vote share is concentrated in a handful of marginals. Party Boat posted:This is from pages and pages back but definitely watch In The Loop. Firstly because it's a great film, but secondly because of the scenes with Steve Coogan complaining about a wall collapsing into his mum's garden. Every MP from the lowliest backbencher to the PM themselves is expected to pay some level of attention to the small-scale issues going on in their constituency. The scene that really stuck with me from In The Loop was the MP being sacked from government, and immediately going from important briefings and chauffeur-driven limos to a tiny constituency office all day, every day listening to people whinge about septic tanks. It really made me understand why a certain type of MP is so desperate to stay on the front bench. They don't give a flying gently caress about the type of problems that would be their day-job as a back-bench MP.

Do the British Legion actually do much in the way of supporting veterans etc?

At least we're not quite to the level of the USA yet, though I love the idea of valour stealing. I remember watching some video a while back where this 19 year old American guy was going about in military fatigues pretending to be a soldier not even trying to scam people out of money just because it got him laid all the time lol.

The racist mention of "urban" though, well, the government uses it too and then there's TinTower's coconut posts, which I think was even worse. I dunno.

They do a huge amount of work, particularly in the area of mental health - PTSD and institutionalisation are massive problems with ex-service people. They also do a lot of work around education and retraining for people when leaving the services, and physical rehab for injured personnel. The poppies themselves are made by disabled ex-servicepeople (and have been since the very start) as both paying work and occupational therapy. It's one of the reasons I particularly hate Help for Heroes (quite apart from their fashy vibe), as they (at least until recently) completely ignored mental health issues, and also funded things like hospital beds for injured squaddies, something that RBL have always refused to do on the (very reasonable) grounds that that is absolutely something the MoD should be doing.

On the last point though, surely hospital beds for injured squaddies are paid for? I mean, they are British citizens and we have an NHS (for now at least).
