O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

With the possible exception of football hooligans and some visiting party islands, I'd say most Brits who travel abroad respect the laws and rules of the places they visit or go to live.

I totally agree with that, the vast majority of Brits who go abroad are friendly and respectful. The problem is the size of the minority who are the opposite. It's just that our minority with no respect seems bigger than any other country. I can honestly say that whenever I have seen trouble and bad behaviour abroad it's caused by Brits more often than not.

So we're back to by-elections tomorrow in two historically very safe Tory seats. One because the utterly obnoxious Nadine Dorries has finally quit, and one because Chris 'Bottom' Pincher couldn't control his hands after a few drinks. It looks likely that the Tories will hold Mid Bedfordshire with a hugely reduced majority, because Labour and LibDems decided to fight it rather than one of them stand down and give the other an easy win which is disappointing for ABTT (Anyone But The Tories) supporters like me. Tamworth is a straight fight between Tories and Labour, and Labour need to win this one if they want power next year.

It will be interesting to see if the polls have got it right or wrong.
