Current Affairs The General Election

[Jebus_lives]

Every election, this lie finds traction on social media.

When I turned up to vote, the guy handing me my ballot had three papers laid out in front of him, headline showing, at the desk: Express, Mail and Telegraph.

It'll make the slightest bit of difference in my constituency as it's a Labour majority of around 26000 but still...

Man’s hair routinely looks like he’s been dragged through a hedge backwards - “gives him a charming, authentic air”

Woman (allegedly) wears mismatched shoes once - “burn the witch”!

I think the majority of us intelligent enough to not look or pay attention to the media during elections (or 90% of the time tbh) know their game.

Also. Don’t ever believe any tweet that has the word “apparently”, or “allegedly” in them.

Yeah. I guarantee they'll bring out the old "Diane Abbott wears odd shoes" one before the day is out.

Or quotation marks

Or anything in the Daily Mail.

OK, prediction time.
I'm going out on a limb here and saying that Johnson is going to fall short of his majority.
While I think that he'll pick up seats from leave-leaning Labour seats, I think he's going to lose a lot of seats in towns and suburban areas.

For the last 20 years I have lived in Bath which is tight between Libs and Nasty party. It puts me in a quandary, tactical or go with Labour as they have been rumoured to be much closer this year. I am good friends with my local Labour reps but am unsure whether to trust their call on just how close it is. Do NOT want to hand the Tories anything.

What to do???

Bath is an easy hold for the LDs mate.

Amazing isn't it, as if a polling clerk would enforce something that is so obviously illegal

My polling clerk was quite amazing. She wouldn't even touch my polling card. She moved it around with her pencil lol

It does when your look of disgust at his reading material, indicates to him that he shows you to the polling booths where those boxes will tragically be involved in a paint spill/shredding incident.
