Jaeluni Asjil posted:Jeez I'm getting fed up of comments around the interwebs about "men of fighting age" & "you should stay & fight for your country" when in many cases "fighting for your country" would have you marked down as a terrorist or, say, fighting for the govt would get you being killed by the UK/US/France/rebel alliance axis, fighting for the 'rebels' would get you killed by the Russia/Iran/govt axis. Anyone who says you should fight your country is a loving idiot if they haven't served in a combat role, and an even bigger if they have.* *Offer only applies to western states/idiots, can't comment on any others

Just voted on my way into the office. When did they decide not to do STV again?? I was planning to go Green or AWP and then Sadiq. So had to vote Labour, but more a vote for Khan himself. He's sadly the best of a terrible bunch of mainstream Labour politicians. Still a dickhead but he has more of a spine than most of the PLP put together and has actually taken action like expanding FSM and ULEZ. Socialists and CPGB for the other votes ofc, I've not come down with Starmerrhoids.

Yeah, Sadiq-while-pretending-I'm-not-voting-Labour and Greens here, though I was tempted to chuck a vote at the Communist Party as a counterbalance.

It's a fallow year for my ward, so I only have a PCC candidate to vote for out of a selection of Tory, LD or Labour. It's also raining outside. I'm probably not going to cast my vote.

I'm probably not going to cast my vote. Ditto but also I can't actually get to the Polling Station as it is up a hill I can't walk up at the moment due to my arthritic knee and roadworks mean the bus up the hill is cancelled. (I have applied for a postal vote for the general - well got the form to fill in anyway - but it was too late for the PCC).

Voted Green for three council seats and hosed off the PCC vote because it's a bullshit position and between Labour, Lib Dem, Tory and an Independent I didn't know anything about. e: there was a TUSC Councillor option which I thought about but wasn't sure which Green to drop so whatever.

the london mayoral candidate prospectus thing that came in the post is incredible. so many candidates running on the principal platform of Putting An End To Woke without specifying what that might be. the brexit leave strategy of 'it can be whatever you want it to be' is alive and well

Afiak barely anyone who's actually served supports conscription because they know that conflict actually sucks in reality, and also more pragmatically that having a comrade who's terrified and doesn't know the barrel of a gun from the handle is a good way of getting yourself killed.

Voting Labour for my PCC because it's the only way to get the insane Tory currently in out. He's a Mormon carpetbagger from Milton Keynes, originally London, and is the kind of guy who does the whole, "as a black conservative who grew up facing stop and search... it's loving great actually show those little shits the boots and batons."

Yeah he did, and went from 38 percentage point majority in 2019 to 3pp loss. Sucks to suck, Festus. Now see the annoying thing is I want to call him Uncle Festus as an Uncle Fester joke but it risks a more racially yikes connotation.

Nothing going on in my deep blue southern seat so no ballots to spoil. I'm moving up North soon though (to a city!) so hopefully something meaningful to do by the time a general rolls around.

The PFCC candidates for Essex are the three big parties and Robin Tillbrook of the English Democrats - a party that stands for precisely what you think it does. I held my nose and voted for Labour in the PFCC and Green in the locals
