I have always voted in every election since I was old enough.

I have posted before In the European elections I never used to know who to vote for so would just write a swear word using every box on the ballot.

Kids still mention that I was very proud with my effort of PISSFLAPS 

CUNTLUMP 

would be a good effort

I’m sure many others did the same because they knew little about their EU reps. It’s no wonder people voted out. 
I did. I used to travel to Brussels regularly on a Monday morning flight in Business class so got to know them quite well. My company paid for my flight. You and me paid for theirs.

It wouldn't as they just get lobbed in as spoilt votes. They don't compile a list of why a vote was spoilt so writing that wouldn't send a message anymore than just ticking all the boxes

If you're forcing people to vote and they are just not interested in politics for whatever reason, then spoiling the vote won't give an indication as to whether they think politicians are useless or it's something they're not interested in

Spoiled votes are recorded. Do you honestly think an election result where “spoiled paper” was the highest vote it wouldn’t raise questions as to the suitability of the candidates?

Having done vote counting I know they just get put to one side 

The reasons why aren't recorded 

So your original suggestion of 'they don't represent me' makes no difference 

I doubt there's been an election when it had been the highest return but happy to proved wrong 

I doubt it would ever happen either 

People can do it for whatever reason they want or they can just make a mistake 

There has been times people tick two boxes possibly through no protest and just a mistake 

It's still a spoilt vote

I wonder what @kent_whitethinks about this throbber. Basically wanting the stiffest punishment for those administering vaccines 

 

 

Penny Mordaunt put him in his place better than I ever could. Treated him with the contempt he deserves. 

I put vaccine conspiracy theorists in a similar bracket to that protester in Chorley. Not very bright. Love the sound of their own voices. Desperately seeking attention.

Hopefully, not for that long.

I don't mind him. I don't really mind most people who can articulate a position that they genuinely believe in - in a cerebral way. Much rather GG than folk lying through their teeth and towing the party line even though they don't agree with it.

These loons were blaming the death of that minor royal on the vaccine. 
 

Turns out he shot himself in the head. Now the loons are saying the Royal Family murdered  him. 
 

Must be exhausting

Not sure what to make of Sunak’s Friday evening soliloquy.

Very odd.

Trying his best to appear Prime Ministerial by calling a press conference, except he has absolutely fuck all to say of any importance. Very bizarre.

It was almost TOO innocuous.

Sly.

Like the start of something.

I honestly think it was just an ego thing because he's trapped in a bubble with numb as fuck advisors.

They'll probably say the vaccine also causes an increase in suicides or something equally moronic.

The Tories will be pitching themselves as 'the defenders of democracy' then! 

Stoking up something that doesn't really exist at present, so that they can position themselves as trying to fight it and Labour as being part of the problem. 

Rishi Sunak really is a massive cunt. I'd rather have Boris.

Looking at the new boundary changes for the next election and it seems Little Hulton and Walkden are now in Bolton South Constituency. As I was born in Bolton, lived in Little Hulton, went to school in Walkden and now live in Farnworth, a feeling of perfect symmetry has overcome me. 😊

Walkden/Little Hulton is White! 😊

Should never of been part of Salford, I wonder if it will ever be returned to Bolton…. Shame Worsley UDC was replaced by Salford council.

21 Years in L/H before I moved out. The Salford overspill had changed it anyway before the boundary changes. It’s just a line at the end of the day. 
I guess I’m a half/half. All my parents family from Bolton. All my mates at school from Salford. I’m actually glad that’s the way it turned out for me. Good people from both sides.

I fucking hate Man U though.😊

Oh that’s been done before by that Steven Kirsch (I think that’s his name) fella.

I’m from a Salford overspill family, and yes lots of good folk in LH but must have been a far better place before they built the council estates. I hate Man U as well.👍

Very similar, born and lived in Bolton before moving to Wogden.

I'm past the point of even engaging with them now mate 😁

There's no point. If someone put some contradictory evidence in front of me I'd change my mind. But there is no amount of evidence that you can put in front of a conspiracy theorist to make them change theirs!

Really? 

The news I see every day paints a very different picture. 

Just imagine for a minute your young one getting abuse, and think how you'd feel. He's done nothing other than go out with a mate for a bite to eat.

As for Rishi- it was all a bit meh, and wet, but then again it was always going to be. Exactly as it would have been had Starmer been in the hot seat. Did anyone really expect curfews and water canon?

The only bit of significance was his request for decent folk to kick out the extremists within. Maybe an attempt to divide and conquer the protestors, but also maybe to issue a warning.

It probably won't make any difference, but then he'll use that to justify stronger measures- if he has the bollocks.

The open fields where the estates were built were before my time but growing up when they were being built was a kids dream. It was our playground. A huge playground. It may sound crazy to some but the cultural differences between us and the ‘Salforders’ was big. We soon got along though. 
Back to politics. Will it change from a Labour stronghold? 🤷‍♂️

Doubt it.
