    Looks like 2021 will be another 365 days of political memes and utter drivel on GC, certainly off to a good start.

    As Harold Wilson said a week s a long time in politics. In the last year the polls have swung 6% from Tories to Labour. Currently Labour are ahead in the share of the vote, albeit marginally. On current figures the Tories would win 297 of 650 seats, 29 short of a majority. The reason Labour are not the projected largest party is because they get a lot of votes in Scotland but only win one seat.

    967 covid patients didn't make it to 2021 yesterday.

    What an awful end of the year for all their families.

    Any opposition should have beaten that ****show mate let's be honest, 80% Furlough by a Tory government will have landed them a few million votes. Go to France mate and chill out and watch it unfold

    Good luck to the Labour Party with these policies:
    Men dressed as women are women
    Rejoin the EU
    Support gays but also support muslims despite many wanting to kill gays
    Give the vote to 16 year olds
    No voter ID allowed

    Off course it doesn't. I could be black and have a 12 inch todger and guess wit, my opinion still wouldn't count.

    Id be a big hit with the ladies though.

    <cheers>

    They think we're spastics. Brexit has made us an international laughing stock.

    The Labour party's problem isn't the fact they aren't left wing anymore. Their problem is that their core support, English working class white folk aren't left wing anymore.

    Now Brexit is done and Johny Foreigner has been vanquished from the shores of ye old Engurland and they have the illusion of "controlling our borders" you will see major shift back to Labour in the historic heartlands.

    Unfortunately it's all too little, too late. It will be a very long time before the Scots will forgive them for siding with the Tories in one referendum and straddling the fence in the other. So the Scottish seats they will need to oust the Tories won't be there and the terrifying prospect of eternal Tory government is more than likely.

    Especially when Scotland votes to unshakle itself from your asylum.

    It sucks to be you Nige!

    I reckon 2021 is going to be dominated by the climate change lot, as they're a bit pissed off at being shoved on to the back burner.

    Wee Krankie will go quiet, as the reality dawns on her that the so called 'independence', which seems to mean spending decades trying to join and be ruled by the EU that the SNP opposed when she joined, would mean that trade with the UK, which makes up the bulk of their exports, would be controlled by the EU, and require a hard customs border.
