my mum was a Labour councillor on West Oxfordshire District Council, and I was the youngest person on the electoral roll when I voted her into office #truestory

East Sussex has suddenly got itself 7 UKIP councillors, all their seats form this line along the coast joining up all our crumbly old seaside towns. Presumably they're being drafted in to resurrect the Home Guard?

interesting data on why people vote ukip:

David Cameron - 'We need to show respect for people who have taken the choice to support this party.'

Would that be the party of "fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists"?

so sad to discover that my vote for ukip purely for their commendably violent pathological loathing of all things foreign is actually a vote for all sorts of reactionary and regressive policies in other areas that i wasn't aware of

If you want to ban immigrants, you have to be in favour of smoking in pubs. You can't have either/or.

They come over here, smoking our fags

i know why people vote UKIP, it's because they're fucking racists

It also argues that multiculturalism has "split" British society. It would legislate to allow smoking in pubs, in designated rooms

multiculturalism: bad
lung cancer: good

trying to xls her but not finding out anything

doesn't 'lady' imply she is the wife of a peer or suchlike? in which case one would expect her to have some sort of obvious background

which makes me wonder, given the ludicrous middle name, if she hadn't changed her own name to 'lady' by deed poll

you can buy "titles" for about fifty quid iirc

Rowdy Rathore (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 May 2013 15:15 (eleven years ago) link

anyway can we start a "let's do summary execution of bigots right now" thread?

a lot of the bnp/whatever crowd are deeply strange

these are people who equate skin pigmentation with moral character, i guess they might have the odd batshit idea

Rowdy Rathore (Noodle Vague), Friday, 3 May 2013 15:29 (eleven years ago) link

nah they are more strange and in more polymorphous ways than merely being racist would suggest

treeship journey to aja (Nilmar Honorato da Silva), Friday, 3 May 2013 15:31 (eleven years ago) link

like buying a novelty title and using it for an election is sort of borderline delusional

nah even if one were to disallow laughing at electoral candidates' appearance, this is scarcely some congenital trait....someone has decided to (paid for) whatever process cause an autochthon of northern england to resemble phenotypes of the levant, itself a curious aesthetic choice for someone not given to métissage in other aspects

perhaps the biggest question raised by this election is "who the fuck is still voting Lib Dem?"

Indeed, I think they're down to their hardcore of Liberal scumbags
