QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ May 1 2019, 01:10 PM) Someone voting Lib Dem thinks Coolio is a "philosopher"....says it all... You don't have to be a philosopher to philosophise in the same way that you don't have to be a mathematician to carry out everyday arithmetic. In any case, I don't consider Coolio to be a philosopher and was just having a laugh, to be honest.

QUOTE (TallDarkAndHandsome @ May 2 2019, 11:38 AM) Very droll. It's called democracy chap. My vote or spoiled paper is my own choice. Go !$#% yourself you arrogant #$$ Your own vote or lack of it is of course your own personal choice. In the 2017 general election in the Newbury constituency there were 144/60,999 spoiled votes or 0.236% of votes cast. Let's see if this percentage is exceeded in these local elections but I would certainly expect some eating of words to be done if this relatively low percentage is not exceeded by some margin.

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ May 2 2019, 09:49 PM) It will be interesting to see tomorrow's results, the usual parties will of course try to tell us "it's an accurate reflection of the next GE" whereas of course local elections are always used as a protest. Still, going to be interesting. Did you bother JSC?

I agree.. for the first time in my life I couldn't bring myself to vote for any candidates though. TBH if a slug had been standing I'd have voted for that...so I did what I said I would do and wrote a few thoughts about the state of democracy. And then added a big c0ck and balls..🤣

QUOTE (newres @ May 3 2019, 11:45 AM) Or even Jeremy Corbyn, 2016: We on the Labour Benches respect the referendum result and accept that Britain must leave the European Union." FEB 2019: "We will back a public vote in order to prevent a damaging Tory Brexit or a disastrous no deal outcome."

QUOTE (je suis Charlie @ May 3 2019, 12:55 PM) I think the message is clear, May must go, Corbyn must go. The only party leader with any degree of credibility is Cable, and he's going anyway. I think that’s probably true.
