I've got an email in to my line manager for permission to campaign during purdah, which should be granted as I'm not grade 7+

What's this - who's not allowed to engage with politics during purdah? Are you both civil servants?

Given the legal trouble he's been having, Count Bedpanhead (no relation) could maybe stand in her constituency instead of Boris' and finish the job.

Grade 7 is a civil service rank, so yeah.

e: lots of places will have a 'Grade 7', obviously, but the Civil Service is the one which also has purdah.

Who else thinks the result is likely to be a comically hung parliament with a slight swing to Labour? I don’t know if that’s better or worse than the current situation because it splits parliament between up to 3 parties (lib dem / Snp / Labour) and that’s going to make a coherent policy position hard to come by.
That's looking distinctly possible. Or maybe another Con / LD coalition, maybe even minority government for absolute political paralysis and head-pounding awfulness. Not that it'll stop me putting some time into campaigning. We'll see how it starts to shape up over the next few weeks. Maybe the baying hounds of the left-ish can work some magic and rip the Tories apart a bit (beagles? spaniels? border collies? terriers? idk what the dog equivalent of Labour is).

But I might be able to parlay a distant second place into an extremely minor media position! Or not because by then I've served my purpose. But it's definitely worth a shot!

Sanders did a pretty poor job of messaging this himself by talking about "millionaires and billionaires" through 2017, until it became obvious he was himself a millionaire and it was edited to "billionaires". Still love you senpai Bernie.

I looked into this, his "£3 million" is a net worth estimated by some magazine for rich tossers that includes his entire pension pot (£1.6 million) plus some handwaving about salary figures. Check it out for yourself, it's a load of shite.

By comparison as well, the same site lists Jacob Rees-Mogg as worth over £100 million, including a single house that is worth twice as much money as Corbyn has made in his entire life.

I've never been chased out of UKMT, and in fact i don't know who you are

if you've got archives you can look back through my post history and find the entire conversation i was alluding to if you want. said holocaust denier justified himself as "challenging tankies on their bullshit", which, you know, is a hell of an excuse for insisting the nazis didn't gas people in vans

There was a good graphic doing the rounds showing the difference between a million and a billion in piles of cash notes, but I can't remember where I saw it - if anyone else does it could be a good addition to the list of resources that someone is definitely compiling by now, right? (I'd volunteer but don't get much time at the PC atm)
