It’s worth bearing in mind that the tories thought that boris was their “ace in the hole”, a charismatic jovial leader who could affably blag his way through to a landslide election with tories in the south and brexit supporters in the north coming together as one.

It’s not going well to say the least, and they know that if they lose this election they are absolutely hosed forever, firstly because who else can they run with? (Priti Patel as Pm?) Secondly, demographics and expansion of voting to 16 year olds would lock them out

Hey goons. Kinda screaming into the void here.

My best friend got sexually assaulted last night. A guy rubbed against and ejaculated on them when they went outside for a cigarette.
It's at the point where they've had enough of male friends expressing outrage like this is an uncommon thing to happen.

I guess I'm posting this as somewhere to vent, maybe raise awareness? I don't know.
Feeling kinda impotent, which is hurting motivation to get out and leaflet/door-knock.

I know a lot of society's ills that I can point to something in the Labour manifesto to say "this will improve things". I'm less confident on this.

Sorry for your friend. Something similar happened to a friend of mine some years ago and I've experienced being rubbed up against on the tube when I was a regular commuter.

All I can suggest is that the current state of the UK, respect for individual rights of 'others' is reaching an all-time low where anything goes, any violation of the person goes. One might hope that under a Labour government raising the general awareness of concern for others, acts like this might diminish. Not a lot of encouraging noises I'm afraid.

So, what are we betting on for the Andrew Neil empty chair? Peppa has been done and is more Cameron anyway. Ice sculpture is jus derivative. Blow up sex doll? Picture of the Corbyn chicken poster with Boris' face pasted on?

I do think the whole cowardice thing is likely to cut through, honestly. Especially as this now makes three empty chair sessions.

He also failed to turn up at the one and only hustings in Uxbridge and South Ruislip last night.

That's what I'm hoping. Can't believe that they haven't gone all out to get hold of that thing. Holding it back until right near election day would be a good move.

Tories are the largest party but not a majority and both Boris Johnson and Jo Swinson losing their seats would likely be one of the the funniest outcomes.

It's definitely the maximum "gently caress Boris" option. Especially if the Tories got a huge majority. Imagine that. Boris has wanted to be PM all his life, and now the Tories can do *anything* and Boris can't be at the helm, one of the shortest PMs ever

Not a good result, but an amazing gently caress Boris result

I don't think they will turn Boris out of his seat, but decapitating the Tory party right now would be amazing. Which one of the racist dwarves would take the chair? I honestly think no-one but Boris can hold the Tory ship together right now.

They'd just immediately parachute him into a safe seat and call a quick by-election.

Maybe this one?

There’s actually several linked in the OP, and doubtless others available that aren’t listed. Which one is best really depends if the person takes issue with a specific ‘incident’ or just has a general bad feeling brought on by media attacks.
