Sorry - perhaps ambiguous without an explanation.

I thought the illustration is of Patel as one of the criminal gang. In my work I have got teenagers off return flights (to Iraq).
Don't know what rag the cutting came from, but confident I would never buy it.
Posted for the juxtaposition of Headline and Patel, not the text.

Scummy Tories!

My fault mate with clumsy wording, I meant explain the position (stance) of the article, not your position. I wasn’t familiar with the story.

Apologies and thanks for explaining it.
 
This perhaps illustrative https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/news...emerging-between-cities-and-countryside-study

Main points:
  • There is a clear gradient (across Europe) between liberal urban people and conservative rural people
  • Despite rural folk distrusting politics more than urban people, they are more likely to vote by a significant margin
  • They are, however, less likely to engage in other political acts, such as protests
So if we want to move away from shitty conservatism, a bit less protesting and a bit more voting might help.

It’s a funny one as it’s often more difficult to get to a polling station in rural areas so you’d have thought, with people having a mistrust of politics, they wouldn’t be so arsed.
A lot of this is to do with not liking foreign people though, despite having few living near you.

No it isnt. Getting to a polling station that is.

Its harder, (impossible actually) getting on a bus, you have to drive to get a pint of milk, and your leccy is more likely to be interrupted due to crap weather. But voting is a piece of cake.

Guess it depends on the area. Voting for me used to be a 4 mile drive.

They use a spare room in the local pub for us. 4 miles aint all that is it? I do that to get said pint of milk.

If you live in a village, they will have one in the village; if you live remotely from the village, you do, granted, have to make an effort I guess.
