Remember, children, you voted this man in. Judging by his behaviour over the last few days I think you might regret it.

BBC Weather this morning.

"There is a severe weather warning in place until Saturday"

That'll be just for today, then, won't it? 🤦‍♂️


When Rishi Sunak sets out his stall as the opposition, it will be backed by a group of people he barely knows now that nearly all the well-known names are out of a job.

Loving all these people posting photos of their ballot papers.

Interestingly, I've not seen any Labour or Conservative ones?

So caught up in today's UK elections forgot to wish our American cousins:
"HAPPY TREASON DAY."


It's so depressing seeing people posting with glee at the Conservative's potential demise when they themselves have never lived under a Labour government or are too young to remember the last one. You have no idea.

It is the epitaph of the Conservatives, I suspect.

There are 650 Constituencies (Seats) in the UK. Your constituency can only send one MP to Parliament, so if your preferred candidate wins, they will take one seat in the house. Don't listen to this bullshit of "A vote for X is, in fact, a vote for Y." vote for who you believe in!

44 hours remaining until the polls open at 7:00 AM on July 4, 2024

So if anyone fancies invading a British dependency, sometime after 18:05 would do nicely and if you could have your invasion completed by 09:00 the following day, that would be awfully helpful.

It's not all quail eggs and salmon for breakfast.
I wonder if he's humming:

♫ ♪ "I wanna live like common people
I wanna do whatever common people do
Wanna sleep with common people
I wanna sleep with common people like you."
Well,​ what else could I do?
I said "I'll... I'll see what I can do" ♬ ♩


Before people start throwing their toys out of their pram, both the Tories and Labour have been guilty of racism! Labour still has a problem with antisemitism, and the Conservatives have had to deal with Islamaphobia.

If there is such a thing as "Tactical voting", that must mean your votes count!
Remember, you might be stuck with someone for five years, or less, and then you can vote in someone else once the dust has settled.

Rishi Sunak dashes out to Germany, hoping to learn how to win at the last minute!

I placed an order yesterday with @huel for three items, and they've still not been dispatched. Their AI assistant is useless! I'm unsure how I can rephrase "Where's my goods!" and ask to speak to a human; that's a joke; it's simply a message for someone who will email me. That's not speaking to a human. I'm a bit techy because the order should be delivered to my office and we don't work weekends.


Here's an idea.

You don't like Farage's idea of net zero migration?

Disgusted at Sunak's Rwanda idea?

Wondering why you've worked hard to get ahead only to be taxed because you apparently have broader shoulders?

𝗦𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽
Everyone who feels, quote: "Let 'em all in." can pay a fee per week or month (Depending on how you're paid) and pick an immigrant to sponsor, a bit like those "Adopt a Giraffe" schemes. That way, nobody is unfairly taxed, and nobody can complain. 🃏 😉


The only celebrity I see pointing out Labour's inability to govern is Jeremy Clarkson.


Who would make the better Prime Minister is the wrong question. Who you would want as Prime Minister is more how things are going these days.
#Politics



So I bought some #Huel greens (£50). I'm not sure what to make of it, tbh. It seems to have a slight metallic after taste. For my palate, maybe I need a bit more than a flat scoop, as it tastes watery. Finally, I'm wondering if you're supposed to drink the whole lot in one go. I thought you sipped at it? 🤷‍♂️

I'll carry on, though. I need to, I've got fifty quids worth.🤣

#huel


Exactly!
The attached image is a bit out of date (Labour 406 seats). I saw a projection yesterday that Labour would gain 526 seats. My own view is the Greens are pathetic, LidDem are useless, SNP (Who?) NI, Plaid and the rest of the Heinz 57 lot will never be able to form a viable safety net. Having said that, who knows what will happen on polling day? We've seen the pollsters get it massively wrong before.


Doesn't he remind you of someone else when they were running for London Mayor?



Remember children. While you were busy making as many posts as possible to "Get the Tories out", you let Farage in!

Don't forget to thank all those who relentlessly slagged the Conservatives off across all the Social Media platforms, including biased journalists, on the 4th of July. You deserve all you get.

See, at least it stopped you from nicking Bounty bars from the shop. 🤣


Happy Father's Day to everyone, especially those unable or denied time to spend with their children.

Treats for me and the missus while we watch the punch-up tonight on the BBC debate. #excited #politics #generalelection2024 #bbcdebate


LOL
I can beat that. I'd like us to go back to the medieval "Hundreds" system, but also 100 dwellings that elect a representative for said Hundred, who in turn select a representative for the county. That way you'd be truly represented otherwise you'd nip round to number 87 and put your representatives windows through. 🤣


For the love of The Pond Gods! Is that the best she can think of saying?

A better comment would be: "Phew! Now the rozzers are leaving me alone I'm allowed back on the bus."
#politics #labour #generalection2024


It's a shame #Labour won't let Dianne Abbot stand as a candidate. She's such a brilliant advertisement for the #Conservatives. Who wouldn't want someone in control who doesn't know what shoe goes on what foot?

See, I told you Labour doesn't know what it's doing. 😉


You've gotta love the 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝘂𝗽 𝗕𝗼𝘆𝘀 @Stickupmusic I see them working really hard on #Hive supporting people.
#Hive


Yep, I can't argue with that. Still, at least we've still got Green Goddesses in storage to pick up the pieces.


And they're off!
So the two-horse race for the #generalelection2024 has started and already Rishi Sunak has made two mistakes. I have to agree with @peston's first prediction of a November election this would have given more time for interest rates to come down along with fuel and food. There would have been more time for more than just one person to enjoy the scenery of Rwanda. Secondly, why didn't he wait for 8 or 9 am this morning when there was less chance of looking like the gods were pissing all over him. #politics


Not only are Air Fryers the new microwave, but they were also clearly invented for men!

For crying out loud! I wish I'd kept my mouth shut!

So I see the binman lift the lids on our bins and walk away. It would seem obvious to me, without looking at the bins myself, that they are either empty or not worth lifting. I rang our Admin and said to make a note that they have not done a lift and to check the invoice when it comes in. Admin asks me to check the bins. "But it's obvious they're empty or not worth it; he's hardly likely to walk away from a bin that's full!" It turns out the Recycle is empty, and the General has hardly anything in it. The next thing I know, the binman is back and lifts the empty bin!

I ring our Admin. "The bloke has come all the way back and lifted an empty bin!"

The admin waffles on about paying in advance, and they have to record a lift. Do I want to reduce collections to fortnightly? I wish I hadn't bothered.


There always has to be one nosey git, hasn't there? I've bought some Kopparberg cider for the misses and put it in the fridge so that they should be reasonably cold when I get home. I just had the go-for come to my door (Mr "Have you got a clipboard?) and say: "Did you want the last cider in the fridge? I like cider."

FFS


I'm thinking of switching my office fan on, but I don't want to get covered in 14 lbs of dust and cobwebs!


#Audible Currently listening to The Battle for Spain by Antony Beevor
I've read the book a couple of times before! I must have more money than sense?


Throughout history, countries have been banned from events due to their activities. For example, Russia, Afghanistan, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Japan, Germany, Turkey, Hungary, Austria, Bulgaria. #Eurovision has banned countries, too. Are they scared of being called antisemitic?


While walking the dog, I saw smoke over Cannock, which is eight miles away. ITV News says there's a massive fire, and businesses have been told to evacuate. Why couldn't it have been near our business?


Sadly, it's like celebrating being in the lifeboat of the Titanic!
