Politics in the UK

I got lucky today.

Labour won the By-election in Stoke on Trent. It's not good that Labour won, it's good that the soft fascists of Ukip didn't.

My protest vote was for a Lib-Dem doctor who has lived here for over twenty years and cares about the people of this city, and who is Asian so will never win.

As soon as I cast this vote I realised how stupid I was. Luckily the Labour heartland continued to vote for an ineffectual, non memorable and down right incompetent Labour MP (albeit a new one) and I had not in effect let Ukip win by voting for the no-hoper (Lib-Dem).

What else to do? could have been "The Flying Brick" from the Monster Raving Loony Party, the Tories, or at least TWO other far right parties or some s**t from the Greens who probably doesn't even understand the colour wheel.

f**k this country, f**k the city I live in and f**k all the dumb fucks that live in it.

Peace to you all who understand my pain.

A reorganisation of liberal (note small 'l') politics is required in the UK to provide a credible alternative. Blair's recent brexit speech was excellent, however a year too late and his personal brand is toxic so nobody will listen.

I was glad to see that the Monster Raving Loony candidate got more votes in the Stoke byelection than the BNP. ;D

I feel your pain. Things are just a little unpleasant in the US these days.

Install me as Supreme Leader, first policy actions; legalisation and regulation of drugs so people get well good safe s**t. Hold a referendum for a new set of national holidays around great Britons such as Von, Bowie and Lemmy, Michael Caine, John Lennon along with pre ref write in suggestions. OK first three will be holidays just because. Given greater automation and not enough work to go round the working wk would be reduced to 3 days, too much BS about work ethics any how. That will take a Wk so then someone else can do it.
