I'm in what used to be a safe Labour seat but the new parachuted-in candidate only won by 200 votes last time so I really don't know whether to vote for her or the Greens next time, if only I was a couple of miles south I'd have Zarah Sultana who I could vote for with a clean conscience

so he's part of a notorious football hooligan crew and you "wouldn't want to cross him" but actually he's never been violent to anyone?

"People are defined forever by actions many years ago and must never have any form of growth, change, or redemption" is one of the tenets of progressive thought, of course.

Also lol at all the people who are suddenly experts on football hooliganism now.

I feel like if you're still part of the same hooligan gang today then the amount of growth, change or redemption you might have gone through is pretty loving minimal

"sure he used to beat the poo poo out of people but he's gone through growth, change, or redemption and he doesn't do that any more, he's totally non-violent now"

it's pretty funny how the fubpees consistently held Keith up as the shining knight of the second ref campaign and then immediately after he won the leadership he turned round and told them that Brexit was finished as an issue

As long as the bins keep being collected, you could have rape gangs marauding through every major town in the country and most Tory voters would still think Boris is doing a good job

Tory voters only care about rape gangs when they're brown

white rape gangs have been in the country for decades now, they're called the clergy

Well this is a comforting sight, having seen West Yorkshire struggle over the last month to get infections down

honestly I don't know why they keep announcing stricter measures days in advance, all that happens is that people rush to do the thing that they're going to be banned from doing before the ban comes into effect (see also the night before the lockdown when all the pubs were rammed)

Snuh? What's the logic in this?

self-checkouts are extremely close to each other in most supermarkets

personally I found keeping my distance was much easier when everyone was going the same way and is now much harder when you're having to negotiate two directions of traffic, but I guess we can't have people spend an extra 5 minutes doing a loop because they forgot something, oh no
