Mel Stride sees the exit poll.
-
Never forget. After the exit poll, sitting MPs still have to get up on podiums and face the scale of defeat. This is where the real fun starts. Who will we relish the most getting a hot dogging?
-
Once adjusted for inflation it's a Conservative landslide.
-
Easy to blank the fucker from memory tbh. Then you remember....
-
Don't know why, this has started playing in my head:
-
Cameron?
-
I'm sure at the BBC they are going to CGI an impartial face onto Laura K.
-
And so. Sky begins its coverage. Settle in. I may briefly flip to the BBC just at 10 to see the exit poll results.
-
Oh, there's nothing you could do about it. There's no legal position here. You know, the whole sympathy, maybe they aren't as bad as they were, remember the good old days, blah blah blah. No challenges, just the populace being affected in some way. Same as if Jimmy Carter died on election day in the US. I'm sure they might keep that quiet. I don't know, but you just know, you know.
-
This was exactly my thought. I've been feeling all day that someone will go today, but it will have been hushed up in case it influenced the outcome.
-
Admittedly, he put a lot of practice in before then.
-
Anyone else think this fucker and Dennis Skinner are clinging on to see the outcome of the General Election? Might be a screed of former MPs finally letting go in the next couple of weeks.

David Ould aka Dave Ould, boxer turned actor, reportedly dead aged 84: https://londonnewsonline.co.uk/sport/a-tough-man-but-a-nice-gentleman-south-london-heavyweight-dave-ould-dies-aged-84/ Probably best known as Don in The Long Good Friday, but a couple of uncredited roles in Doctor Who firstly as a Sea Devil in Warriors Of The Deep and as Walkman in Silver Nemesis.

Wow. The government holds a pictorial record of all citizens throughout their life. I'd guess for me that might be a small price to pay for your work laws, your healthcare and other things. What you have to remember is I am a gay man who grew up in Thatcher's Britain who used the police as her personal militia and made various laws allowing the hatred of gay people. That may go some way to explaining my reluctance to provide them with something that a future government could use to hunt me down. I like my physical invisibility, and that is a freedom I'm happy to keep. They didn't want my presence or my blood in the 1980s, now they don't want my vote in the 2020s. Fuck them. Both main parties. My fizzog is mine and who I choose to share that with is my business.
-
Le Pen and her cronies are waiting for votes. May I ask something? You say the French have ID cards. So, do they have to be renewed? How often? Do you have to pay for that? I mean, I definitely don't look the same from 40 years ago, 30 years ago or even 10 years ago. So you have to provide photos throughout your life?
-
Yeah, I was just throwing it about tbh. IIRC, the Nazis were able to quickly discover the identity of Jews in Netherlands and round them up toute suite (see what I did there?) because of ID cards. Quite frankly (see what I did there again?), the UK is not France and does not have a history of supplying the government with information by way of photo. My body, my choice. I can prove my identity in other ways - bank statements, council tax bill, birth certificate etc. And all of that is useless at the ballot box. There is nothing to stop an employee of a local authority who has much information on me from simply attaching a photo of themselves to a spurious VoterID Certificate and turning up at my polling place and thieving my vote. Identity theft anyone? Maybe fascism was a little far @Sinbabad, but that really depends on how your country votes shortly.
-
Well, my point is there are little to no photos of me out there, as far as I am aware. I didn't say off radar or off grid - I could live in a caravan off the A9 next to a lovely spruce forest if that was my desire. Ask yourself again - why does the government need a photo of me? They have a lot of information already. I know this. I pay my fucking Council tax and rent ffs. I'm not a fool, despite appearances. Photo though? Why? And why does Labour run with this? It's odd, when the electoral system worked fine for hundreds of years. Screw them with their interference in my person. The fact people are prepared to accept this is the march towards fascism. It was ID that did for the Dutch in WWII. I remain steadfast in my opposition and I am unanimous in that.

Sunak said his favourite meal was "sandwiches". A spokesman for E-coli said "Well, we tried to get him, but it's up to the electorate now".
-
I rather like being off the radar as much as possible regarding the government. So I have to draw attention to the government of my existence even more than I need to? Again with the photo. Why does the government need a photo of me? Yeah, when they have your photo, your fingerprints and everything else, it'll be mandatory mouth swabs and silicon chips in your hands next. Fuck them. Fuck them and their interference in my life. Fuck them for denying me a say.
-
I don't drive. I don't go abroad. I'm not a student or a veteran. I'm not old enough to have a bus pass. I could go on. Exactly why should I pay the government for a form of ID I'll never use so I can vote in their elections? I'm on the voters' roll, I have received my polling card (well, it's now a letter) and I like to vote in person. It's crap, it's gerrymandering, it's nonsense and unless you can prove there is widespread fraud, it's unnecessary.
-
Boris Johnson took my vote away. I'm actually with what he said before - having to produce ID to vote is a democratic abomination. But that was his goodbye present to the electorate. Therefore I remain a bystander. Who would I have voted for? Probably Alba this time round, which would not have mattered in a Lab/SNP swing seat. What interests me is the likelihood of voter challenges to results where postal votes have failed to reach electors. There may be some seats where voters will have to go to the polls all over again.

Life with barks, death by bark.

Sunak arrives at polling station early. He has the cheek to take the disabled access entry, after promising to cut their benefits if re-elected. Sunak should remember, you are only entitled to use the disabled access point AFTER you have been knee-capped by the electorate.

Not updated since 2022 you say? Ure and Corman recent fallers. Needs a wee update @ImNotHades.
