COULDN'T AGREE MORE: "All I know is we have to do more to tackle voter fraud, by which I mean people voting for a candidate I disapprove of. This is clearly a huge problem and anyone who disagrees needs to shut the hell up." :-)

Well, anyone who disagrees will be declared a terrorist and shipped to Rwanda, but that's just debating the peripheral issues...

Sir Kid Starver, so accurate. Why don't wealthy people want children to eat🤔 They're against feeding children in the US too.

Brilliant, as usual. Keep up the good work.

Lots of smiles today KauraK thanks. This one made it out loud “who the hell would want to show their Tory membership card in public?” But knowing satire is alive and well is worth it for sure. (Sir Kid Starver was a gut-punch one too. Not a smile but a grimace, true of them all, but hard to bear).

'KauraK?' Oops LauraK... my typing let me down again today - sorry! Not much chance of mistaking you for any imposter though is there, really? Not with you being the one and only original and genuine best!

Reminds me of what Tony Benn, I think, said - if you offer voters a choice of two Tory parties, they will choose the real one. All these years later, I can hardly tell.

I don't think many Tories worry about losing the election. They have quietly ensured that there are hundreds of freeports which are/will be owned by them and their mates where there will be their laws, their taxes and no rights for workers or any unions. They have effectively made a few hundred principalities with what they see as the 'best' bits of the UK that they can make a profit off. It doesnt matter if they lose the election, they will still run a large number of the ports (and their hinterlands) that this country relies on and can hold any elected government hostage based on this. The media are silent and most people living in these areas have no idea whats coming...

Check out Ricky Coxon (statistician) blog as to how postal votes got boosted by 2000% only in swing constituencies, during the 2019 Johnson landslide election - via an IDOX (oil & gas company) subsiduary - headed up by Tory peer Peter Lilley, & dissolved just days after the election.

"Sir Kid Starver"—that's good!

I'll stick with "Sir Storm Trooper" for now, thanks to his stance on the Gaza Genocide, but still...I like "Sir Kid Starver"....

The nation should steer well clear of Kier and his bunch of Starmeroids!

You know you're living in one of the worst timelines when "Labour" is Sir Stormy Starver rather than Jeremy Corbyn.

I'm just relieved there are insightful commentaries like this to counter the communist/fascist/feminist/Hamas tripe coming from some elected officials. Here in Canada we are very lucky to have a foreign minister, Melanie Joly - who is definitely not sleeping on alternate evenings with Rishi and Sir Keir - who was brave enough to put aside $1 million for "survivors of Hamas' sexual violence" even as the communist/fascist/feminist/Hamas press was reporting that the reports of said violence were utter bullshit. She found that money by cutting funding for a boondoggle called UNRWA. Leadership!

Here in the US we are more ... uh ... civilized? The ReThuglicans no longer bother rigging elections; they merely exploit a system of government that enables them to declare victory with a minority of the votes. On the rare occasion when this does not work, they claim the Democrats have "stolen" the election -- and continue to bleat this crap even after sixty-odd court challenges.

Responding to NY appeals court decision reducing Trump’s bond

No one is above the law.

As my tears of laughter

transmutes into tears of sorrow

I am left with the hollow knowledge

that the tears will dry

leaving only a film of salt

that were the grains of hope

to believe in justice.

The winds of reality

shall blow them away

to be dispersed

into the sandy deserts of history.

You made me laugh and cry at the same time! Such a sad state of affairs. If only more people were aware of the manipulation was is called Politics!

Imagine if We did not need money to live richly - ALL of Us... Able to fulfill Our potential, follow Our bliss, make Our dreams come true. Then the Tories would likely be off doing something else.

And... We CAN get rid of money and ALL live richly, but the Tories (and other psychopaths) hide and suppress the technology that would make accounting for Our energy added into a system (the foundational function of money) pointless. Of course, money is what gives Them power, so naturally, They hide anything that threatens Their single tool to power.

I offer details about money and it's removal from use in these articles:

Perfect summary of affairs! You must have inside knowledge!

I'm worried about you. There's a distinct tinge of panic in your normally calm manner.

I suggest you need help. Get yourself a private interview with Rishi and I'm sure he'll invite you to his home in Cloud Cuckoo land where life is beautiful all the time. A few days there should see you right (wing).
