Interesting buttons.


"Show me xyz in your area." A thinking man would have labelled them "show me xyz in my area."



Will we see the beginning of the decorbynization of the UK tomorrow? Else Labour would need to sell Corbyn certificates to fight the pollution and force it down.

True that.

These emails are starting to come more and more as we near Thursdays voting day.

Tuesdays one will be a picture of Corbyn with his cap in hand,

Wednesdays one will be a bunny with a AK47 to its head.


"Last chance to chip in Comrade, you wouldnt make us hurt a bunny would you?!"

Silly man, Instead of promising endless freebies all he had to do was say, 'yeah well we'll get brexit done too' and he'd be neck and neck with Borris probably.
But instead he answers the brexit question like:

Boris Johnson has said the possible abolition of the BBC licence fee needs "looking at".

Speaking at a rally in Sunderland, the prime minister questioned how much longer funding a broadcaster out of "a general tax" could be "justified".

Ministers have agreed the licence fee will stay in place until at least 2027, when the BBC's Royal Charter ends.

Sunderland eh?

He's wasting his time and breath because nobody in Sunderland has one :)

This week our Danish news channel have a half hour about the upcoming British election.

There was to thing I noticed in today's episode.

1. Our politicians lack morale.
Saw a clip where the leader of Labour toke advantage of a little 4 years old boy who could not get a bed in the hospital. He tried to gain political points by this.
(His party will not do any better)

2. There seems to be a disagreement in the Labour party about this Brexit thing
and many who use to vote Labour are going to vote Tories.
The reason for this, was to get the Brexit done.

Politicians will use children in publicity stunts, nothing new there.
Labour is mostly pro remain, as its a left wing mix of progressive liberal lefties & neo marxists who are basically all pro remain by default, pro mass immigration, pro expanding government and public services. etc there are a minory of the old gaurd lefties, workers party types who are pro leave, but not many of them. Its hardly a 50/50 split, Labour will still probably win most seats in the metropolitian areas where they always do well. But they have long since alienated most of the working class they used to represent. They get alot of support from migrant communities, Young voters, hippies and educated well-to-do middle class types.

The Conservatives are now the right leaning moderate party, who are basically pro free markets and privatisation, their policy is basically get brexit done and busniess as usual. They are not offering any kind of radical change at all.
but they are more equaly divided along the lines of brexit and remain. But they are going with the leave platform because they know that alone is probably the winning ticket. So they are now headed up by soft brexiteers more or less.
They are the party of least resistance, in that they'll just do what ever they think is most popular to stay in power. these days they dont really have a very strong stance on anything in particular. (they used to be alot more staunchly right wing though) Now they get support from the Rural areas and small towns and working class folks as well as wealthy elites /oligarchs, busniess owners etc)

Senior politicians faced questions on housing, climate change and trust from an audience of young people in a Question Time election special.

The election debate also saw exchanges over Brexit and the possibility of another referendum.
