UK Politics Thread X: Upcoming Local Elections in May

[Greater Kuomintang China]

House of Lords?

The one filled with Tony Blair's and Boris Johnson's sycophants?

Touché. Easy for an American like me to forget that the peers aren't what they used to be.

It's a shame the police don't employ the same vigour with other protestors, such as the ones blocking traffic or the one's who pull down statues.

Very easy for the cops when people have made an appointment with them to get arrested.

That's true.

Even so, a bunch of physically-unthreatening people literally sitting down in the middle of the road shouldn't be hard to arrest.

Neither should a bunch of people proudly committing vandalism while recording it on their smartphones.

Cops are afraid of big crowds and public scrutiny.

I know. They're an embarrassment.

They're absolutely terrified of their Whatsapp messages getting out.

Remember, there’s nothing more symbolic of modern Britain than a man in a golden coach being driven down a road where the potholes are filled with wet sand because the local council can’t afford to fix them.

It’s disgusting.

[Dumb Ideologies]

Photos of Charles and Camilla from the coronation pageantry remind me of those photos where people stick their heads through the seaside cardboard cutouts.

[The Huskar Social Union]

Oh and UKIP lost all of its remaining seats

lol

[-Astoria-]

Oh and UKIP lost all of its remaining seats

How the mighty have fallen.

I giggled slightly to myself every time i saw the 0 next to them on the BBC website.

Somewhere, NIgel Farrage is crying into his beer.

[Austria-Bohemia-Hungary]

I don't think Nigel is crying at all. I think Nigel is very satisfied over sinking the British ship of state in the current quagmire.

His pension is getting defunded though. He will need new money soon.

Rip in piss, you won't be missed.

There's only so much money he can make doing Cameos.

While UKIP crashed, Reform UK didn't seem to benefit much from the anti-Conservative voting. I guess the UK voting public has moved on.

Yes now some of them have worked a day in their lives.

Possession of rape alarms with intent to distribute is apparently now a crime according to the Met?

In my opinion, a bad call.

Did I said something about how the excessive use of force feeds the Kremlin propaganda machine? Oh wait, I did. However, I should add that the whole Public Order Act 2023 feeds the Kremlin propaganda machine as well.

I do not consider myself British under the current circumstances. Braverman, feel free to deport me to the Republic of Ireland and then we will both leave each other alone.

Weirdly it seems like some of the ex-Tory faithful round here went to the Greens solely for shared opposition to large scale development in the green belt.

Dunno if that will hold up in a national election, mind.

I didn't even watch it myself, I've been under a very disjointed schedule taking care of sick bottle babies(foster kittens) who need fed every 4-5 hours, so I just didn't have the energy to watch. Still, it's over at least so we can move back to council news in NI.

Hell yeah! Its Northern Irelands time now! That was their time! But now its our time! Its our time down here!

It's not 2016 anymore,

Honestly, the only good bit was the Youtube auto generated subtitles's rabid republicanism:



and other much less, cold air, attached to reality improvisations to honour the king of pepper.

In Youtube's own words words, Manik.

Now, if you'd excuse me, I've been chilling some bracelets in the fridge and must now eat them them. Long Live Jules III. Word.
