At least 700 people were denied their right to vote in the local elections, including an 87 year old, because of the Tories' Voter ID trials.

They're trying to rig elections by making it harder to vote.

This voter suppression attempt must be stopped.

The comments are pure Creutzfeldt–Jakob, mind how you go ppl.

What a clown.

Voter ID is making it harder for people to vote twice.

Odd that.
87 year old can't get help with photo ID.
87 year old "prevented from voting" can attract attention of Jeremy Corbyn.

JellyfishJez wobbles again.

[Shoulders?-Stomach!]

Luckily this kind of behaviour has already been highlighted by Paulie and the throng of non entities who only post replies on campaign threads

Barry Admin is right not to ban anyone for having a different opinion but when a member is clearly a single issue campaigner they are making no contribution, they are taking from the forum. It is the equivalent of selling, which is banned on this site.

Fuck off

Ann Widdecombe being cheered at a public meeting inside a working men's club in a former mining town in northern England. This is the equivalent of Jeremy Corbyn being hailed by the Henley-on-Thames branch of the Women's Institute.

I did warn them.

Bubbletastic Labour, 16%. In a national election, 16%. Labour. How shit are they?

[Tommy Robwatson]

16% - the Labour Parties - 16%

How useless must they be, to be on 16% when the Tories are even lower?

You must be punching skyward in your bubble lad. 16%, what an achievement.

The tories have been like it since forever, who could forget the classic Poll Tax episode?  And, of course gerrymandering Tesco heiress, Shirley Porter, appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1991 by John Major after delivering "a spectacular victory" in Westminster for the Conservatives in the 1990 elections.

While leader of Westminster City Council she oversaw the "Building Stable Communities" policy, later described as the "homes for votes" scandal and was consequently accused of gerrymandering. The policy was judged illegal by the district auditor, and a surcharge of £27m levied on her in 1996. This was later raised to £42 million with interest and costs. She eventually settled in 2004, paying a "full and final settlement" of £12.3 million.

Every little counts.

I'm not reading a word you post. That's how much you are wasting your time. No idea what's in the quote box.

Single issue campaigning breaks this sites rules. You won't last. You are a non entity. Fuck off

No other post in reply to you will say anything other than fuck off.

Hello absolute non entity. Looking forward to seeing you here and talking more in April 2022.

[Twed]

We can combine it with the third year anniversary of our wank pass ownership.

[BlodwynPig]

Fuck off.

pie and pint: reboot?

[Replies From View]

Why would anyone who is proud of their opinions need to flit between multiple accounts I wonder.

Is this the ongoing game of Pass the Wanksock?  I must say I've not had my turn yet, and with the anniversary coming up feel quite left out.

[Cuellar]

Fuck off.

You have been #triggered

[Johnny Yesno]

this Rilke poem:

Thanks. That's got a strange atmos about it. I like it. But what does it mean?

[Twit 2]

Don't try to analyse the meaning too much. Rilke was heavily influenced by French symbolist poetry (his own poems in French are great too btw), where meaning is deliberately secondary to sound and association.

[Twed]

He's just practicing for when he has to go on that modernist history holodeck jaunt with Picard.

[Twit 2]

Tommy Twatson off this here thread could do with some Rilke, this beaut is an excerpt from one of the Duino Elegies:

And how bewildered is any creature that is womb-born and yet has to fly,
As if frightened of itself it must hurtle through the air the way a crack goes through a teacup,
So that a bat's track streaks through the porcelain of the evening.

(Not sure where the line breaks are as I'm quoting from memory OOH GET ME)

Thanks for the insight.

That's great. I'll have to get me some Rilke too.

Politics is all a bit pointless without beauty at the back of it, isn't it?

[Twit 2]

Indeed. These posters (one nutter wearing many socks presumably) aren't found over in Shelf Abuse or any of the other sub forums waxing lyrical about their passion for the arts. Nope, confined to one obsession ("5 actually!" - Jesus) they don't even enjoy. A waste of life on a grand scale. May their tattered rodent's wings flail them from their cave.

[Johnny Yesno]

May their tattered rodent's wings flail them from their cave.

See, I really feel I know that from somewhere. Am I having some kind of episode?

[Twit 2]

No, it's not a thing, I'm just referring back to that bit of Rilke where the bat is a metaphor for humanity's fear of the void. The trolls on here hurtle along, leaving their streaks, and the overriding impression (to me at least) is that they're scared of life.

EVENING

Slowly now the evening changes his garments

held for him by a rim of ancient trees;

you gaze: and the landscape divides and leaves you,

one sinking and one rising toward the sky.

And you are left, to none belonging wholly,

not so dark as a silent house, nor quite

so surely pledged unto eternity

as that which grows to star and climbs the night.

To you is left (unspeakably confused)
your life, gigantic, ripening, full of fears,

so that it, now hemmed in, now grasping all,

is changed in you by turns to stone and stars.

[Johnny Yesno]

No, it's not a thing, I'm just referring back to that bit of Rilke where the bat is a metaphor for humanity's fear of the void.

Brrr. It must be deja vu.

Yes, the attention seeking is a way of avoiding thinking about looking down.

Where will Sugar go, I wonder?

[rue the polywhirl]

That Good Morning interview with Sugar was more than a little cringeworthy. Sugar actually joking that Brexit sounds like a breakfast cereal as if he was the first person making that observation after almost 3 years and just acting like a person with dementia caught in a nap. I'm guessing he doesn't write his own jokes and putdowns for the apprentice.

[Paul Calf]

As long as he fucks off, I don't care. He'll probably go and cuddle up with Richard Branson on Necker and they can sing heroic songs about how they left the lands of their birth because they didn't like paying taxes.
