    Is Dapper Laughs? Considered right wing, was he funny?

    Stewart Lee, had a career off tv for a couple of decades. He would sell out Leicester Square for weeks on end, tour after tour.

    what is right wing comedy? Jim Davidson banging on about chalky?

    Not at the last election, no. We’ve done this several times.

    Kids tend to vote like their parents, so you can count in first generation immigrants, and you'd probably be over 70%. Khan may be useless but he's one of their own.

    Bit of a generalisation. If that were true there wouldn’t be such a divide between the voting patterns of those above and below 40.

    Would black people not be voting en masse for Bailey if that’s what it’s about?

    My point is you are always moaning about who people vote for, yet you contradict yourself. First you say...
    Then at the next election you vote for them?
    But as you say you know little about politics. :emoticon-0100-smile
    maybe I read your quote in the Express?

    Maybe quite a lot happened in the 13 months in between, personally and in the country.

    People can and do vote for who they want. My gripe is with Tory voters’ complete refusal to acknowledge Tories’ misconduct either in real time or when it comes to subsequent votes. Even with absolute power the Prime Minister is allowed to just lie and double down on it safe in the knowledge there are millions of cucks like you ready to accept it.

    Immigrants and first generations generally vote Labour. Once they are successful, they may turn to Tory. In fact the views from where many of them come from, North Africa, Middle East, Pakistan, India can be pretty rabid. Suppression of and violence towards women, gang ****phelia, misguided views on family honour, female genital mutilation, refusal to acknowledge gay rights etc Of course, some will come here to leave all that behind. But there will be a necessary process of integration for others. That's why mass immigration causes such disruption, as we're seeing in some of the Scandanavian countries

    Not much happened with the Limps mate, they just got worse.
    Regarding the PM and your accusations of lying... should we then vote for Starmer and his honest MP's?
    Truth is Watford you always moan at people who vote Tory without the full facts. Why the 2222 would I want to replace my MP when my area has little to no crime/fab place to live/great schools and health? why would I want to bring in some Limp (Lee) who wouldn't respect the referendum or some looney Labour socialist who wanted ruin our Town with their leftie views?
    I have said it before our one voice is the vote and when people want to take that away from us or continually belittle voters, we will run in to problems. Calling people Gammon or Express readers/Thick racists and so on because they voted a different way to you is not a good look.
    I stick by my guns and I am happy to vote Tory, agree they have made mistakes but the alternatives are not worth thinking about. It wasn't long ago that Labour had an anti-semite as its leader. Fortunately the public saw him for what he was and rejected him (big style).

    Maybe it’s not about you in leafy, middle class Wokingham. Nobody wants to take away anyone’s vote apart from the inevitable voter suppression tactics tried on by the right.

    At some point you’re going to have to accept they’ve had ten years in power and a unique opportunity in the last year and a bit to demonstrate actual leadership on behalf of the people they serve and they’ve failed horrendously rather than constantly playing the victim.

    You moved out this way as well remember... if you have a problem with equality then why didn't move into a council bedsit in east London? Remember also it was you who changed his name from Watford to West Windsor? You have moved up to the Eton crew.
    As i said, I vote for the best candidate locally which happens to be sir John of the Redwood. I cant help what happens in Liverpool its not where I live.

    Human remains found by police are of Sarah Everard. Such sad news. We come on here moaning about politics and silly stuff and hearing this puts things into perspective. That poor family.

    So curfew for men then, mmm interesting, profiling obviously, but then again that’s already used in other areas of police work.
