2 statistics to bear in mind. In the last election the turnout was 58.7% and Farage got 21255 votes If these statistics are down he will be a loser – it also worth noting that the tories got 12820 votes, so basically right wingers got 75% of the vote. Also of interest is how Count Binface gets on – this is a very British election! If he does not lose his deposit (by getting 5% of votes cast) it will be seen as a victory by those of us who hate Reform – with a passion. Therefore anything less than 20000 votes for the lunatic, a turnout of less than 50% and less than 75% of the votes will lead to an embarassed evil muppet. And then we will probably have to do it all again in a couple of months.
More shite from the right wing climate deniers, thhey are blaming nature reserves and conservation measures for the spate of wild fires across Britain. Whilst just about every species of wildlife in the UK is in decline they balme the victims rather than the perpertrators of the fires – 98% human induced. Perhaps they should be encouraging volunteering and school participation in wildlife rather than the wildlife protectors. And not a mention of climate change – evil bastards! In Scotland there have been calls for the Glorious Twelfth to be abandoned (The start of the grouse shooting season when rich people pay a fortune (for me) to shoot little birds for fun – is this a medieval tradition?). Is it better when the hunting is genuine and the birds shot eaten, rather than reared in sheds causing pollution? I am not vegetarian so my mind remains open on the issue (although we should all cut down on meat consumption for climate change. Maybe we should see more venison in the supermarket – or maybe the Bambi effect is too strong, but there are more deer in the UK than probably at anytime in history. Just thinking out loud1!
