UK XI: I Want To Ride My Diecycle

[Anpanman]

If we don't get a handle on the amount of corruption and fraud going on in our current political system, then yeah, that's a real possibility. We need a system in place where If you're found to be using your position to generate money for yourself or your family at the detriment of the people you're elected to represent, then you should face Fraud charges similar to insider trading.

At the very least, just burn 'em, or crucifixion if it's a first offence.

I mean, nothings happened to them who did us over with the PPE.

We need corporal punishment back badly, you think any of these useless clowns would manipulate contracts and position if they faced 30 lashes if they got caught, or ANY consequences for anything whatsoever?

They do it because it’s easy, you can get away with whatever you want, get caught for something? Slink off while still collecting a paycheque for being a naughty boy and come back 2 years later.

There are zero consequences, zero.

They would need a lot of crosses!!!

Excellent, my favourite comedy film of all time, if you want to hear 'that' line though it's this sketch;

What's really surprising me is the amount of support I'm seeing online for Reform, It's like somebody flipped a switch and all the Tory voters who are really upset about immigration are now shouting "Reform Will stop the boats". Hopefully It's not as bad as I'm seeing and Tory and reform will just cancel each other out mostly. It's so strange that a month ago the party were a joke and now all the knuckle draggers are swarming to them.

Part of me wants Labour to give some seats to the LibDems... Because there's a chance that the Tories may not even get to be the opposition at this rate. Imagine that!

Got like my 14th Labour flyer or leaflet in the post, plus my second Tory one. Doesn’t say who it’s from apart from in the small print on the back, no Tory logo or anything. Presumably perma-confused pensioners are its target.

I got a flier from an Independent a few days ago, resplendant with green and red as the key colours. Given, neither Labour nor the Greens own the colour green or red.... But someone made a choice to not make it yellow or blue.

I haven't had any leaflets through the door from any party.

We've had loads from the local Conservative.
It's been Tory here since 1975, so they must be worried.

I think it's pretty safe, still, but it's more likely that Reform will take over, *shudder*.

I think I saw the Reform candidate the other day, waddling across the road without a care in the world.
He's so obese, he's likely to have a heart attack if he wins.

We have had nothing in our area Philip "Upskirt" Davies is our MP, he always seems to get a massive majority despite spending no time in the area doing no campaigning and generally being rude, Sexist, ableist and racist. He's most famous for blocking bills on domestic violence and upskirting by filibustering.

During his time as our MP he's relentlessly campaigned on the behalf of the gambling industry and taken a large amount of hospitality and money from them, a lot of which he didn't declare and was investigated for. He was given nothing more than a slap on the wrist for this despite it being in the tens of thousands of pounds. He was also caught up in the expenses' scandal as prior to 2009 he was claiming his mortgage on a London flat back as an MP expense. Now that he can't do that he claims £3200 a month to rent a flat around the corner from the property he owns and rents his own property out, this is massively scummy from someone who is so against handouts that he voted against feeding the poorest children in the UK over half-term holidays.

This story makes me laugh, Sunak is incredibly angry at someone gaming the system.
