Bye Bye Boris!
Re: Bye Bye Boris!
@DJ - (and sorry if I've missed this) - but as an individual, how do you actually cast your vote ? Do you chose just one option or can you cast your preferences across all candidates / parties
Irish system, you have the choice to select just 1 candidate if you want or to apply your preferences across multiple candidates and by definition, multiple parties by casting your 1, 2, 3 choice etc.

Re: Bye Bye Boris!
On the ballot paper there's a tick box for each party and under that, their candidates with s tick box next to them. So you either vote for a candidate and the vote rolls up to the party for the purposes of calculating the national percentage, or you vote for the party, but don't give your vote to a specific candidate.

Sorry for the late reply. Things like BiFab for instance? Great for the people's jobs and taxpayers too. And they think they can run an economy. Got to question it.Nefarious wrote: ↑Tue Feb 09, 2021 4:56 pmI'm sure you're not asking out of genuine interest, but you can have my opinion anyway.
The SNP are like the parish council that accidentally found themselves in charge of the country. In most cases well-meaning, but way out of their depth.
On the plus side, it means that, in the most part, they lack the competence to be properly corrupt/malicious (their dishonestly tends to be smalltime and naive, rather than systematic, calculated and industrial-scale). Jingoism is never a good thing, but as a uniting force to get things done, it's a short-term evil that's on balance tolerable.
But then, that's the nature of democracy - pick the least worst option at the time of asking.

I only realised very recently that we will no longer recognise the CE mark.
There will of course be a transition period, but ultimately “everything” sold in the UK will need to display a CA mark instead.
That’s great.

That's because the border controls were pushed back until January 1st 2022 while they try and come up with a solution.Broccers wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 9:17 am https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/p ... 38717.html

Funny how things are being solved as we move forward. Any remainer must have a different take on the EU over their covid response. Also Italy - look at that mess. 222 billion in eu funds to help them out of their hole - who would be paying for that?Zonda_ wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 9:24 amThat's because the border controls were pushed back until January 1st 2022 while they try and come up with a solution.Broccers wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 9:17 am https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/p ... 38717.html

He might’ve said he’d rather have the dead piling up than have another lockdown and be in charge of a corrupt party but at least there aren’t any traffic jams. Good job Boris
An absolute unit

He just put Starmer on his arse at PMQs.

We've had no issues with anything from abroad. In fact, our kitchen and utility room orders from Italy and Germany arrived 4 weeks earlyBeany wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 1:46 pmWell if the 24 days it took me to get a spring for the car from Germany are anything to go by, that ain't solved fuck all....
Who TF did you order from? Should've gone to Cotwswold BM or CP4L
Re: Bye Bye Boris!
Should have gone with GSF who have a local depot
AutoDoc - not using them again, that's for sure. In all seriousness, I think it's their courier (GLS) who are the problem rather than them.

If you mean blustered, refused to answer the question and then lost his rag, then yes he did.
If you get all wobbly-lipped about the opinion of Internet strangers, maybe it's time to take a bath with the toaster as you'll never amount to sh1t anyway.

Re: Bye Bye Boris!
They're all a fvcking shambles at the moment aren't they? We had this yesterday from Starmer:
Andy Burnham 'is what Labour looks like in power' says Keir Starmer - including on policing
Oh, so what you're saying is if you were in Gov't you'd look to bury a damning report into the failings of one of the Country's biggest Police forces just before an election? A report that has identified long-standing and serious weaknesses in key areas such as leadership, governance, financial management, crime recording, IT, and officer deployment and culture. A force that managed to "lose" some 86,000 reported crimes. And your justification for burying it when faced with calls to release it is that those calling for its release are just playing politics?
Yeah because heaven forbid people might want to understand what role their Mayor, as PCC, has played in these failings...
It feels rather at the moment like we have no credible parties to vote for.

Re: Bye Bye Boris!
If Starmer had worked with Boris at the start of the pandemic, played nice for the good of the country and stopped any point scoring silliness I’d be surprised if Labour weren’t ahead in the polls.
