Off Topic General Election

Craig Mackinlay, 50, Nathan Gray, 28, and Marion Little, 62, have each been charged with offences under the Representation of the People Act 1983 and are due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 4 July 2017.

Craig Mackinlay is the Tory candidate in South Thanet, and has been under investigation for over spending in the last election. The other two are organizers for the party.

I hope he will stand aside as it is probably too late to put up a different candidate.

It would be funny if Nigel Farage is elected by default.

All of the other enquiries over Tory expenses found no case to answer.
 
The third attacker in the London Bridge outrage has been named, and it turns out that the Italian security services had warned their UK counterparts about him. At one time security was seen as a strong point for the Tories, but can anyone think that is still the case?

At least the national media appear to have missed the fact that one of the three was from Watford...

Personally, I think the Tories have woven themselves into a corner over this tangled mess & believe that the failings of UK security services are down to their relationship with the Saudis. How they can extricate themselves from blame is anyone's guess.
 
I am registered to vote in South Northamptonshire where we have a loathsome MP, but 1.1 M people have registered to vote who were not on the electoral role last December. (She will still get in.) In the neighbouring area of Banbury they have the largest drop of anywhere in the UK where the electoral role is 6% smaller. Leeds NW and Leeds Central have seen two of the largest growth in registered voters anywhere, with the former growing by 16%. Yorkie been out stirring the pot? :emoticon-0102-bigsm
