These people always think they're so loving clever with their little secret codes. "My favorite number's 88 - you wouldn't understand. :smuggo:"

It's not meant to be subtle, it's just there to give plausible deniability. Instead of saying "I like hitler", they say 88. Nazis see it and think "He's on my side", and everyone else sees it and says "that's clearly a message about how you like hitler" and they just say "what no i just like the number" and complete idiots see that and think "well that's that then"

Probably do Binface first preference,

Why not vote green? They actually have decent policies and are the most socialist of the lot. Though I admit I don't know the candidate well. And I wouldn't be surprised if there was some anti-nuclear bullshit around, but I don't think the London mayor is gonna be in a position to commission any new plants anyway.

Given how voting is set up, first preference should go to the party you actually want elected, save your second prefs for strategic voting (or comedy cock and balls)

E: didn't refresh the page :doh: though I still think she'd be best, honestly

Berry is the lovely lady that suggested anyone leaving Labour after Corbyn got the boot was a racist and not welcome in the Greens. They also have a Terf problem, a woowoo mystic crystal problem and aren't socialist.

I didn't say socialist, I said the most socialist. Given the party's manifesto includes UBI and LTV I'm comfortable with that claim.

That said, I'm talking of the national party there, the London mayoral candidate obviously can't do anything about UBI or LTV. But even their London manifesto seems pretty good, what with raising minimum wage to 14 and setting rent controls. Pity they have a weak stance on council houses though (stopping demolition, but not committing to building more)

I'd be keen to know who you think is more socialist. Admittedly I haven't read about the SDP because quite frankly their weird patriotism put me off.


E" ^^^ drat that is some good stuff. Really wish the Greens down here were that good.

As I have to explain every loving time: the candidates never see your oh-so-witty "political statement". The only person who does is a low paid council worker, usually female, who gets a dick waved in front of them at 2am on a work night. Just don't.

When you put it like that it's quite a misogynist act, really, barely a step down from an unsolicited dick pic.

I actually found a dog yesterday. Well, I suppose a 100 people found it, but I was the only one bothered enough to take it home. It ran across a street in north london while i was getting donuts, and milled about in a park being watched by everyone for about 10 mins.

I then spent the afternoon trying to have Big Important Meetings while this dog ran around the kitchen whimpering. Got it to a vet in the evening and they found a chip and called the owners who had been desperately searching the nearby park (different park) for it.

that was my Good Deed for the week

Lmao, they're just going to keep doubling down until they have absolutely nobody voting for them, aren't they.

The year is 2037 and the results of the election are coming in. Last election Labour got one vote from a red-faced man. The results are out and it's... zero votes.

This is silly. You can't read the numbers like that. Those numbers could much more easily be explained by:

1. UKIP voters not voting this time, and
2. A bunch of Labour voters going for Green this time, and
3. A bunch of non-voters going to the polls for Labour

With no general election due for a while, the official response will probably be a flurry of focus groups resulting in a slick new rebranding, while they carry on with business as usual in the background.

Introducing: lbr

And our new logo which is a red triangle. This new identity captures our vision in a way that the old-fashioned musty rose didn't, appealing to our customers with a forward-looking outlook that looks to the future and combines the synergy of cooperation with the togetherness of unity. No Corbyns.

I have been mistaken for a woman from behind on more than one occasion because I have long hair, twice by waitresses and once by some random guy in the street who I assume was ready to start chatting me up.
