Elections On Thursday

When it comes to voting my language is Anglo Saxon!

Back in the days of the three day week they cut the power in different areas on different days and at different times of the day. The local newspapers had the map published with the areas and the days and times they would be cut off. The line on the map went straight through our house! So I phoned our council to ask which group we were in. The answer was "I can't work it out, so wait until you get cut off and then you'll know"

We never did get cut off

 

In your (Scotland's) case @Sheal I sincerely hope that people DO get out and vote and do so tactically to rid the country of the menace that the SNP are. My home is unrecognisable thanks to them, and any hope I ever had of moving back one day are long gone as a result - wouldn't even consider Scotland now.

The same applies to London to get Khan out - we've seen exponential increases in crime, particularly violent crime and he does nothing but sow division.

​

 

Well, I've done my bit for the day. Opened the Polling Station at 6 a.m. and have now left them on their own until 10 p.m.

 

At least you actually had a spiel from them! I have now seen our candidates on the council website and they have not issued a single peep!!!!

 

If everyone stopped voting purely out of habit - stopped putting their tick in the box for the red/blue/green/yellow party just because they always have and they need to vote for someone.... if everyone just didn't vote, a message would be sent.

 

Hello what election Woo hasn't heard anything about local elections at all

Whoops to late

 

Well, it looks like Labour have been handed their backside in Hartlepool. Good - maybe the message will start to get through. They've wholly abandoned the very people that built the party up, that being the indigenous working class. I supported Labour all my life (pretty much until the Corbyn years) and since then the party has gone down the toilet. They have gone after the London-centric, champagne socialist types - woke, preachy and dictatorial and sod the working man.

@Sheal - I love the highlands with all my heart, but even living here I am hearing the damage done; the drugs problem in places like Oban for a start.. Oban! One of the most beautiful wee towns there is, surrounded by such gorgeous countryside, yet apparently a raging drugs problem. That sort of stuff used to be the preserve of the rougher areas of the bigger towns.
