British politics in 2019 in a nutshell As the BBC's coverage of the Peterborough by-election demonstrates, if you don't get the result you want don't plough ahead with what you had planned, it just looks sad
Is he really this stupid or has he just lost his mind? How does anyone read this crap and still support him?
Mars does have two moons so I've got to give him the benefit of the doubt. He was obviously chatting (****) to Brian Cox on his UK visit between eating steak and chips and other assorted sh*te with da Queen.
Some interesting facts emerging about the Peterborough by-election today. Tariq Mahmood previously sent to prison for postal vote fraud, was hired again by Labour and was actively involved in campaigning for Labour in the consistency. Postal voter turnout unusually high compared to 2017 GE. Nothing to see here.
Simple solution, have a third envelope within the main postal vote envelope in which one must place a photo copy of ones UK/EU passport or Right to Remain card. This could then be checked to ensure the voter is legitimate before the vote envelope is processed.
Turnout in 2017: 47,738 Turnout in 2019: 33,920 On top of that, the 69.4% figure being quoted is false: 69.4% is not the percentage of the vote made up by postal votes as is being claimed by people crying conspiracy or a South Asian stitch-up for their defeat, but 69.4% of those who applied for postal votes actually voted by post - and as the Electoral Commission themselves state, the average using postal votes in the 2017 election was 85.1% UK-wide, so the postal vote turnout was LOWER compared to 2017 You lost, get over it
What I find galling about (surprise surprise...) the BBC's coverage is the amount of qualifiers they use about Labour's win, as it was a "narrow" win as they "scraped in" - I don't recall them using such terms when the Dire Leader was having to bung the DUP a billion quid to maintain her death grip on power, let alone Zac Goldsmith winning Richmond Park by a mere 45 votes
Firstly apologies for linking to the Daily Express, other sites have covered the story: https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1...ier-denied-jury-death-charge-dennis-hutchings This refers to the decision that former soldier Dennis Hutchings has been denied the right of trial by jury for his upcoming trial for attempted murder. The incident had twice been dismissed as not worthy of prosecution, but was reinstated for the third time in 2015. When was this announced? On 6 June of course, so many might have not noticed it as it got buried behind the news of the commemoration of our armed forces on D-Day. The whole matter is disgraceful enough, but to release the news on 6 June is pathetic. Surely the current prosecutions of six veterans is politically motivated? I've mentioned it before but the veteran community is outraged with what is going on, and you don't want to be politicising the veterans! This will be a "Diplock" trial, the irony being that such trials were envisaged for the prosecution of terrorists, unsurprisingly this makes veterans more angry.
