Free as a Dodo: UK Politics Welcomes 2021

the thing about The Arts is that at grass roots level they've always been hugely important to working class people and other minorities in the UK and they still are and i'm not sure that high profile toffs in TV and film acting is a new thing or a sign that much has changed

and it's also precisely kids from working class backgrounds that will lose most from arts ed being cut

latest polling for tomorrow's scottish parliamentary election seem like they may be set to be "good" i.e. alba a bust, tories down a bit, labour and greens up a bit. although you never know with d'hondt; so many ifs, buts and what have yous.

Niko Omilana doing god's work, surely Londoners can push him past the Lib Dems with a bit of effort

Hope ilx Londoners thinking of giving Niko their vote 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

i'd vote for him

"Greens polling fifth? I love to see it"

Lower than a lib dem lol

I reckon if the Greens stopped trying to foist Sian Berry on Londoners they'd be outpolling Niko Omilana at least.

Talk about a one person party, who was that hopeless woman they had as leader for about 5 minutes?

nitilie?

... now Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle. The UK, what a fucking joke of a country.

Please enjoy this incredible election campaign video from Blackburn pic.twitter.com/qoACXnsGcf

Jonathon Bartley looks and talks like a right twat as well. I don't why a one MP party needs two smug party leaders.

probably need two leaders to keep an eye on some of their dodgier members who if invited onto a bbc show as Green reprehensitive might start saying Hitler was pretty solid on some things. Tbh I recall something like this actually happening once!

That video from Blackburn is conservative ideology at its most pure.

I like the way stood in front of that graffitied cock on that slide with "suck" written underneath it

Can’t wait to see how the Royal Navy is going to demand electricity for Jersey

sounds like a job for HMS Pitt the Younger - which is just a floating nuke!

the long 19th century is back again baby!

I don't think I have ever before looked forward eagerly to a potentially disastrous election day for Labour. But right now feels quite like Christmas Eve. I cannot wait to vote against this party that is now run by corrupt and vicious people.

it's good schadenfreude when it's stupid fucking local elections and you've been waiting for Kieth to get a bloody nose since about a millisecond after the cunt was elected!

I remember the night before the 2018 local elections and there was the unrealistic expectation that the tories would get completely wiped out in London. it didn't happen, but still much happier times than now.

I want to see a thread of dogs walking past polling stations

Wonder what they are all tweeting today

As Biden's administration comes out in support of waiving patent protection, let's recall the response to a tweet from Corbyn which called for such an action pic.twitter.com/caMEG0jVtF

Only election we've got today is for Police Commissioner, I'm not going 50 yards out of my way to spoil my ballot for that shit

xp

the master of This You? has logged on! He's always fucking bang on right as well. They literally would have contended licking the piss out of urinals is good if Corbyn told people not to do it.

Corbyn proposes a popular and transformative policy: kill this fucking communist with his utopian student politics

Biden "" "" : when you vote for grown-ups you get good things you silly little children

half of these ppl are terfs so they probably hate Biden at this stage too

The experiments have either worked or failed.

I just can't work out how old he is? Could be anywhere between 14 and 50. Is that a bit of grey at the temples? pic.twitter.com/JvAcWn0kEY

he looks like he'd use Rishi as a toothpick

xp to calz

Corbyn's just playing a game of cunt chicken now to see what the soundest policy is he can come out with that pricks will still say is shit.

still as relevant in 2021, a year and a half since Corbyn was sadly laid to rest after a long and painful battle with the deceitful bunch of scumbags that is the UK liberal commentariat!

been to vote, there were 4 ballots; city council, county council, mayor and police commissioner. think that must be a record, for me at least.

Kieth quoting himself from brainyquote.com lol!

that picture is amazing

that lad on the bike was radicalised at the Owen Smith bbq in 2016, he's going to sacrifice his balls in those inappropriate cycling troosers all for Kieth!

A member of the Jersey Militia reenactment group was seen firing on the French boats with a musket from Elizabeth Castle this morning.

It's after the flotilla of French fishermen who blockaded Jersey's main harbour returned to open water.https://t.co/0nY4Kja6uw pic.twitter.com/rQQ4yPHvxd

Jersey was much easier in 1940!

Nazis have always been more popular with the Daily Mail than French fishermen tbf.

Oh the ironing

Choosing to interpret that as a subtly implied policy shift towards lopping the head off a bastard bobby.

Meanwhile Baldick delivers

Two days before the local election results, and already the corbynista rump are gleefully revelling in the possibility of a tough night for Labour, oblivious to the fact that they created the carnage the Party is doing its best to reverse. https://t.co/kLxKptwkos

— Tony Robinson (@Tony_Robinson) May 5, 2021

drinking endless pints, jizzing over flags, circumventing party democracy to parachute unpopular losers into safe seats, abstaining on spycops bill, offering nurses derisory pay rises - yes "reversing the carnage" is the most arcane of the dark arts that is beyond the comprehension of most, but New-Labour luvvies really do get it though.

Tories on the ground in Hartlepool say there is an "incredible response" on the doorstep. One adds: "Looking right now like a big big victory of maybe several thousand votes."

Damn Corbyn, will Labour ever be rid of his hateful legacy?

maybe next century, idk
