Off Topic Political Debate

That's what I thought when I read it!

 

It would seem that I not the only one to have seen the report.

 

You are the only one in the world to see a report about 'a large number' of UK council elections. A figment of your imagination.

 

Really? An unusually large number of council elections. Lets call it Super Thursday. There is another one coming up in two weeks time.

 

Maybe you can rely on the actual news next time without creating your own desperate fabricated story. You need to separate fact from fiction.

LDEM: 39.9% (+13.2)

All made up results of course.

 

Ever ended up with egg on your face SH ?

 

These few council elections were falsely described as "a large number of council elections" There are hundreds of councils in the UK. In May. There were 88 councils elections in May 2017 which produced a large amount of press coverage. How many councils were involved yesterday to justify a 'large number ' description?

 

Not yet.

 

JRM's frank was refreshingly honest, it is rare for politicians to give straight answers to difficult questions. The dithering tiny Tim Farron should take note just be honest with yourself and the public. Rees Mogg clearly said he was not trying to tell others how they should live, this may not do him any political damage after all.

 

If I was caught fabricating a story I would. I'm still waiting for details of OFH's fictitious 'large number of council elections".

 

Unusually large number of council elections was the headline. Super Thursday. I don't suppose that suggests anything to you as you attempt to crawl back from the hen coop.

 

You should stop reading the Beano. It was more like 'Pretend Thursday' If the national press covered it should be easy for you to show the source. The fact that the number was actually tiny showed their lack of interest.

 

The national press did cover it, others found it in the same way that I did. I am sorry for you if you could not find it, but it was there, and because you failed is not reason for your silly comments. It is not for me to spoon feed you with information, you should be quite capable by now of reading.

 

There were actually 14 council by-elections on the 7th Sept. SH. There are more to come.

 

Have you thought about writing fiction? You have a good imagination.

I'm just about to take the family out to dinner after a superb night out at the Horns in Watford. Hangover just fading. West Herts is blessed with such great music venues and fantastic local bands. No wonder the UK is one of the world's leaders in popular music.

 

As I said, a tiny number.

 

Theresa May is a “hopeless” leader of a “weak” government and Britain would be better off with an early Tony Blair-style administration, a leading Tory donor has said.

On May’s rise to the premiership, the former Conservative party deputy treasurer said he “didn’t think she had it in her”.

“I thought for the first three or four weeks she did well,” he said. “Then she did the election and she was hopeless. She’s changed her mind too many times.

 

A much more popular Tory leader.
