Yes they can, they still have their arm and leg but if they have a stroke they lose the mobility one side. Not quite what you meant, but it shows it can be done by adapting swimming techniques.
Agree...there seems to very little debate about anything political...just hatred. I don't mind strong disagreement but politics is poisonous. It's like watching a group of football fans defending their club. If it weren't for the poverty, the state of the NHS, lack of housing, low wages, mental health crisis etc it would be funny.I didn’t even know there was an election
I’d have no problem saying if I did, though. Everyone is entitled to vote how they see fit and demonising or mocking them will only see them further dig their heels in.
**** off you filthy Yid, what do you know ?
There is no doubt that Reform performed well in Thursday's local council elections. The party won most votes, most seats and overall control of most councils.
True, the party's share of the votes cast across all 23 councils where elections took place on Thursday was no more than 31%. So despite doing well, it secured far from a majority of those voting.
However, its performance was enough to put Reform well ahead of the Conservatives – who traditionally dominate county councils - on 23%, the Liberal Democrats on 17% and Labour on 14% when you tally up the votes in those parts of England that went to the polls on Thursday.
At the 2024 general election Reform secured 14% of the vote but just 5 out of 650 seats at Westminster. But crucially, being ahead of everyone else in 2025 ensured the first past the post-election system helped Reform.
Its tally of 677 council seats represented 41% of all those being contested on Thursday, ten points above its share of the vote, a nod to both the nature of the voting system and Reform's ability to cluster votes. That boost helped the party win control of as many as 10 councils, something that Reform's predecessor, Ukip, never managed at the height of its popularity in the run up to the 2015 general election.

Reform UK might well become the third largest party in Scotland at these next elections. It would give Unionists a very large majority in Holyrood.
The SNP for their part have completely changed their campaigning strategy, focusing on anti-right wing politics as opposed to anti-Westminster politics.
think the independence question is well and truly dead for the foreseeable.
Welsh elections next year too and Reform are above Plaid Cymru is several polls.
But again, the incumbent government are polling strongest, Labour with a sizeable lead.

As I've said previously...
You must log in or register to see mediaComing to a primary school near you soon
prolly just learning about each other's faiths
Which is a good thing
So they don't grow up to be like you bro
nameen.
I knew you'd say that
So id expect the Muslim kids are being taught how to pray in the many other religions that we have too eh.
Im sure thier parents are cool with that
When I was at school you could opt out of religious class with a letter from your parents. I remember some Catholic girl at school did, she was the only one to do so in my class.

I don't know. I reckon that's probably the case though.
When my daughter was at primary school they learned about all sorts of different faiths
She had kids in her school from muslim and hindu families.
I think schools offer parents the choice to opt out of these things if they're not comfortable with their kids learning it at school, same with sex education.
